UV Super Water Gel Sunscreen SPF50 PA+++

product review positives
๐–๐ก๐š๐ญ ๐ข๐ฌ ๐ข๐ญ? This is a Japanese sunscreen with SPF 50+ and PA +++ rating. โ–ช๏ธŽFragrance free: Yes. โ–ช๏ธŽMalassezia (fungal acne) safe: Yes. ๐๐ซ๐จ๐๐ฎ๐œ๐ญ ๐ฌ๐ฉ๐ž๐œ๐ข๐Ÿ๐ข๐œ๐š๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง๐ฌ: The sunscreen comes in a pump packaging which makes it easier to measure how much to use. It also features a pump stopper which is ideal to use when travelling. The packaging has the classic Nivea colour palette. The ingredient list is stated in Japanese, although not in English. Product content is 140ml. ๐Œ๐ฒ ๐ž๐ฑ๐ฉ๐ž๐ซ๐ข๐ž๐ง๐œ๐ž ๐š๐ง๐ ๐จ๐ฉ๐ข๐ง๐ข๐จ๐ง: My first impression about the packaging is that it is so pretty and elegant! I am a sucker for the pump system and I like the pump stopper as well. The formula consistency is an almost translucent, light yellow runny liquid, which is lightweight and very easy to spread. It absorbs into the skin very quickly and it leaves no sticky residue, making it ideal to layer with other skincare products in your routine. The consistency is delish, it has a faint scent which I enjoy a lot. This combined with the lightweight formula makes it a joy to reapply! I use this on my neck, chest and hands area as my facial skin cannot withstand chemical sunscreens. I noticed that my hands can become a little dry when using it but it's nothing major. Still worth mentioning it if you suffer from dry hands or eczema as I think the alcohol contained in this sunscreen can accentuate the dryness issue. Have I mentioned that this is Malassezia (aka "fungal acne") safe? This is very important for me! The sunscreen has some antioxidants in the formula, which is nice to see. Overall I think that this sunscreen is great! But you shouldn't just take my words for it, give it a try yourself. Given only a PA +++ rating, I only use this in my house and I wouldn't use it say, on the beach or in a very sunny location. ๐‘๐ž๐ฉ๐ฎ๐ซ๐œ๐ก๐š๐ฌ๐ž? Yes, I think I will repurchase it! ๐–๐ก๐ž๐ซ๐ž ๐ญ๐จ ๐ฉ๐ฎ๐ซ๐œ๐ก๐š๐ฌ๐ž? You can find it on Stylevana and Amazon UK stores. Prices fluctuate between around ยฃ8 on Stylevana and ยฃ12-15 on Amazon UK.
product review negatives
I wish the product would provide a better UVA protection of 4 +'s instead of 3. The formula contains alcohol but this shouldn't be an issue for most people. People with a broken skin barrier or very sensitive individuals - rosacea prone included should be aware. I have also noticed dyness on my hands after using this sunscreen. As far as I know, Nivea conducts animal testing which is one of the things that I take in consideration when purchasing skincare.
