It contains Hyaluronic Acid, Royal Jelly Extract to keep skin hydrated. The light, watery texture is easily absorbed and does not leave any sticky after-feel. For face and body.

Find out why.  No matter how simple or complex your skincare routine is, using sunscreen is the one thing in your morning skincare regimen that you should not skip. Ever. I’ve tried and tested so many brands — some better than others. I recently reviewed (and loved) Rovectin sunscreen and Klairs sunscreen but 90% of the time, this Biore sunscreen is the one I reach for. Many consider Biore Aqua Rich UV Watery Essence as their holy grail sunscreen and for good reason. Hate the heaviness of sunscreen on your skin? Not a fan of that sticky feeling and that awful white cast? Read on. Biore Aqua Rich Watery Essence might just make a sunscreen fan out of you. Biore Aqua Rich UV Watery Essence is made by Japanese company Kao. They’re a global company that manufactures products from skincare to cosmetics to home care. Don’t confuse Biore Aqua Rich Watery Essence with the Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Gel though. While they look and sound similar, they’re totally different products. The essence is primarily for the face while the gel is for the body. Biore Aqua Rich UV Watery Essence ingredientsI’m a big fan of Japanese and Korean skincare products; I’ve tried so many of them and have proven that they work. My skin reacts to them better and, in most cases, they’re more affordable than the more popular skincare brands widely available here as well. Some people are hesitant to try them because the packaging would usually only be in Korean or Japanese and they’re uncomfortable trying something they can’t read. Which is totally understandable. That’s what I’m here for, y’all. I can’t read Korean and Japanese either but I’m very good at skincare research. For example, here’s the major ingredient list for Biore UV Watery Essence: Water, ethanol, ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate, ethylhexyl triazone, isopropyl palmitate, (lauryl methacrylate / Na methacrylate) crosspolymer, diethylaminohydroxybenzoylhexylbenzoate, hydrogenated polyisobutene, bisethylhexyl oxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine, palmitic acid Dextrin, BG, xylitol, (acrylate / alkyl acrylate (C10-30)) crosspolymer, dimethicone, alkyl benzoate (C12-15), glycerin, glyceryl stearate, propanediol, glyceryl behenate, (vinyl dimethicone / methicone Silsesquioxane) crosspolymer, cetanol, agar, sorbitan distearate, isoceteth-20, polyvinyl alcohol, (dimethicone / vinyl dimethicone) Suporima, stearoyl glutamate, arginine, hydroxide K, hydroxide Na, royal jelly extract, hyaluronic acid Na, phenoxyethanol, EDTA-2Na, BHT, perfume What this means is it’s a chemical sunscreen and if you’re wondering what that is, check out the post where I explain more about chemical sunscreens and how they’re different from physical sunscreens. The world’s first-ever micro-defense formulaBiore UV Aqua Rich also has what they call the micro-defense formula. You can read the full press release here. In simpler terms (or as I understand it), the old formulation, being water-based, tended to come off when we perspire; which would then lead to weaker UV protection. Kao researchers solved the problem with the micro-defense formula because it enabled the sunscreen to stay on the skin surface and ensure “full, even coverage down to micro level crevices invisible to the naked eye”. Despite this super-waterproof formulation though, the sunscreen rinses away easily with soap when you cleanse at the end of the day. How I use this sunscreenLike all sunscreens, I use this product as the last step in my daily morning skincare routine, after moisturizing. I use about half a teaspoon of product and spread it on my face, ears and neck. Other things to know about this product
What I like about Biore Aqua Rich Watery EssenceWhat do I like about this Biore SPF? So many things!
What I don’t like about itIf there’s one thing I don’t like about the product, it’s that it’s not widely available here (I’m in Canada). And while I can buy it from Amazon, shipping takes an incredibly long time. I manage by buying enough product to last me several months, and re-purchasing early. Do I recommend Biore essence sunscreen?In a rating scale of 1 to 5 — 5 being awesome — this product is definitely a 5 for me. This really is a great sunscreen and I cannot recommend it enough. Lightweight, zero white cast, non-greasy. It’s a joy to apply too. Try it! As always, remember that every person’s skin and skin type is different so what might work for me might not work for you, and vice versa. So before trying a new product, it pays to do a little bit of research first. Pay special attention to ingredients that you might have a reaction to. And doing a patch-test is always a good idea. Unsure? Best to consult your dermatologist. And practice good skincare habits always. Happy skin experimenting!
