i thought i've used up all my etude sunscreen sample, but turned out when i was preparing for our family quick getaway, i found this sample among my samples pile. sooo.. since we're going to bali, it's a perfect opportunity to try this sunscreen. actually, when i got back, i was confused when i searched for this product.
this is the picture from sassygeo, and its design is similar to my sample.
but i also found other picture from the full size tube in sassygeo as well
sooo.. to be the truth, i have no idea, which is the right picture to describe the full size product.
okay. back to etude house sunscreen. apparently, it has a line designed especially for sunscreen. according to myfatpocket.com, there are 6 of them, the super aqua, the natural corrector, the must daily, the mom and kids, face & body sunspray and all proof. i've tried the water essence gel (which i think changed into super aqua) and must daily.
the product description from myfatpocket.com: this product offers triple protection (anti-UV + anti-melanin + anti-wrinkle). it not only prevents photo aging and dark spots, it also has skin whitening benefits and prevents the occurence of wrinkles. the sunblock is also sand, dye and stain proof. this not only prevents unsightly stains on swimming costumes or other swim wear, it also prevents sand from sticking to skin.
while this is the description from en.koreadepart.com: sun cream that hydrates and blocks uv rays. powder emulsion technology and porosity powder give a cooling sensation with non greasy formula. mangosteen peel and lotus extract block uv rays. provides a surge of moisture. spf 45 PA++.
okay.. now onto the sample review. since i only has one sachet, so i can't say anything about the anti-melanin and anti-wrinkle function.
the packaging: my sample sachet is designed exactly like the full size product picture from sassygeo. it's white with the picture in the middle.
the smell: i can't smell anything sharp so i guess it is really subtle. and it doesn't smell like typical sunscreen.
the product: it's a white cream, pretty thick, thicker than water essence gel and the must daily. and it's quite hard to spread around. i was worried that it might mess my makeup, but after waiting for a while, it's absorbed completely. though i think it's a little bit sticky for my taste.
the result: i've told you that my skin is being normal these days. usually my nose will shine after 3-4 hours, but lately it's matte almost 5-6 hours, even though it's hot and humid and i wear full makeup. soooo.. it's bali and bali is pretty hot and humid, not to mention i had to spend the morning indoor but without air conditioner since my son refuse to sit still inside the church, so i was sweating. but when we got back at the hotel, only my nose that became greasy, so i guess my skin's really in its prime condition. but i guess for you who has combination-oily type, this sunscreen might be too rich for you. about the sun protection, all i can say that it held its promise. i didn't experience sunburn at all, though i spent most of day at the beach playing around with my son, or at the pool, swimming. so i guess it must be really all proof, just like it's said.
overall, this is a good sunscreen for all around activities, especially outdoors, sports and swimming. but i will suggest something else if you want daily sunscreen since this might be too rich for some of you. though it doesn't cause breakouts for me, i guess it might give you breakouts if you became sweaty and all. and about the white cast, i think it caused white cast, but not as bad as my faceshop sunscreen.
