HilalAfandi review for Anessa Whitening UV Sunscreen Gel SPF50+ PA++++

Anessa is a Beauty sun care brand that was founded in Japan in 1992 under the auspices of the Shiseido Company. The ANESSA product range is based on a formula that utilizes UV-blocking technology and 50% of the ingredient formulation used in its sunscreen is a skincare ingredient that can fight UV exposure in all environments. For 20 consecutive years Anessa has succeeded in becoming the best selling sunscreen brand no. 1 in Japan and Top 5 in a number of countries in Asia. Anessa is also the first sunscreen in the world that uses Triple Defense Technology and the benefits of skin care to prevent premature aging that are safe to use for daily activities, both indoors and outdoors. Triple Defense Technology innovations, namely Thermo Booster Technology, Aqua Booster EX Technology, and Super Waterproof which make UV protection stronger when exposed to sunlight, water, and sweat. (cr. Mix) Anessa has a variety of sunscreen products, one of which I have tried is "Whitening UV Sunscreen Gel" Besides having a UV filter, this sunscreen contains m-tranexamic acid to suppress the formation of melanin, thus preventing dark spots and freckles, and brightening the skin. Then there is Glycyrrhizic acid salt to treat skin texture. In addition, it also contains many moisturizing ingredients such as Yellow flower extract (Rosaceae/Tormentilla), Green Tea leaf extract, Hyaluronic acid, Collagen, and Glycerin. The texture is cream like a moisturizer, not at all dense and immediately melts when applied to the skin, so it doesn't take more effort to apply this sunscreen to the face (it takes about ±1 minute to blend), no whitecast at all, finishes on its own On my skin, it's more satin, so it's not matte which makes it look tight and it doesn't look too wet either dewy. The minus is in the alcohol content, it feels really strong, even when you first put it on the skin, it feels like alcohol and the smell also has a citrus-like alcohol scent, so sometimes I get a little surprised at the smell, but once it's absorbed into the skin, it smells better. soft and fresh. Besides that, it makes my eyes sting really and the pain lasts a long time, especially when it's exposed to water and sweat, it really hurts my eyes. So every time I apply this sunscreen, I avoid the area around my eyes, but when I do ablution and sweat, it still hurts a little bit and I don't use it to reapply because during the day I sweat quite a lot (avoiding the stinging sensation). As for the protection, I think it's really OK, it doesn't make my skin turn red from the heat and doesn't make it dull after a few hours of use. As for the feel, I also like it very moisturised, the skin feels brighter, the texture is also nice, it's not mat, and the minimal effort when applying this makes me keep using this sunscreen even though it makes my eyes sting, and also because it's expensive🤣. I also don't have a problem with alcohol, so even if the alcohol is strong it doesn't irritate my skin, it's just that the smell is surprising. It's waterproof, so it can withstand water for 4 hours, when I do ablution I also feel like there's a layer on my skin but it's also easy to remove it with double cleansing. #Afandiary #Gifted
