Where I got it: I bought this from Farmers a short while back for $16.99. This is the first time I’ve seen this and being a sunscreen addict, I grabbed it from the shelves.
What I got: This is a 30ml tube of L’Oreal UV Perfect Aqua Essence SPF50 PA++++ sunscreen. Skin is protected against signs of photo-aging: brown spots, darkening, loss of elasticity and firmness, wrinkles and external stress. Day after day, skin stays visibly fair and young.
- SPF50 | PA++++ with Long UVA Filters
- 12 Hours UV Shield*
- Light-weight watery texture
- Hydrates skin + Anti-oxidant Power
- Non-sticky, Non-greasy
L’Oreal UV Perfect Aqua Essence SPF50 PA++++
How I find it: Sunscreen is very important for me because I believe UV ray is a major cause of premature ageing. I hate getting sun spots which are irreversable, and I don’t want to age prematurely. So I apply sunscreen everyday even if my foundation has SPF. I use about 1cm diameter size of sunscreen that is at least SPF30 under my makeup to protect my skin. If I were to be out in the sun longer or more often, I will reapply over my makeup (dabbing lightly, no dragging).
Overall: The slim bottle is quite a hand size to put into my purse or my bag for reapplication when I’m heading out to the beach. The formula is quite light and fluid – not sticky at all and very easy to blend out. It does leave a slightly white cast on the skin which I’m not too worried about. It is suppose to have a “fresh texture that breaks into water upon contact with skin”, but I don’t really agree as it is not as ‘watery’ as its said to be in my opinion. It does feel hydrating and not oily at all. I can apply makeup over it and it would not affect my foundation at all. It feels smooth and dry once absorbed and will not rub off white on clothing. Love it.
