i bought a lot of stuff when i was about to travel. last time i still had a mini sunscreen in my stash that i used during my europe trip, so i had to find another mini to bring with me during my singapore trip. anyway, i had my eyes on somethinc sunscreens and originally i wanted to try the sunstick one, but i still have a sunstick in my stash, so i decided to buy the newly released sunscreen gel. let's see how it goes.
this is the description from their website: 5-in-1 cooling aqua protection. sunscreen gel with SPF 50+ PA ++++ and encapsulated UV filter technology that provides maximum protection from UVA and UVB rays. it gives protection against pollution, blue light and infra red that help prevent signs of aging. with snowflake molecules to serve a cooling sensation and absorb into your skin like water. all day comfort, alcohol-free, non sticky, no white cast! easy peasy and no more reason to hate sunscreen.
powered with:
-sunflower sprout and tara spinosa: an award-winning ingredients that contains powerful antioxidants, with organic sunflower sprouts that efficiently provide 3 in 1 protection from infrared, blue light and pollution. this combination can neutralize free radicals to prevent premature aging.
- encapsulated uv filter: consist of 3 types of organic uv filter namely avobenzone, OMC and OTC which are designed with encapsulated techniques to produce stable chemical sunscreen and does not irritates the skin.

| the tube |
the packaging: the mini comes in a bright yellow/orange/blue plastic squeeze tube. i think they seal the tube with plastic when it first came, but i completely forgot about it. anyway, the full size one is similar in terms of design, but the shape is a bit different. there are 3 sizes available, 5 gr, 15 gr and 30 gr. usually sunscreens comes in 30-50 gr, so this one is the tiniest one, 5 gr. it lasts for a week and more since i only use this in the morning. i use other sunscreen for reapplying so don't worry about it.

the scent: there's no added fragrance in this sunscreen, but you know.. they have that usual sunscreen scent but it's very subtle.

| the spout to dispense the product |
the product: the sunscreen is white gel type sunscreen that's a bit thick compared to several previous sunscreens that i used before this one. in comparison, biore water gel and skin aqua one are runnier. it feels similar to canmake that i finished just now. however, even though this is a bit thick, it spreads around easily. it takes quite some time for it to settle down though. they say that this has cooling sensation. compared to the biore cool that i've tried before, this one doesn't feel cooling at all. however, i feel this a bit cooling when i use it to reapply around noon. but that's just once.

the result: as for protecting properties, it works well. i don't suffer any sunburn even though it was scorching hot in singapore. it dries down semi matte, so even if you're oily skin, this hold well. on me it doesn't leave white cast, but i'm pretty fair to start with, so please look for review from tanner skin reviewer to be sure.
all in all, i have to say that i like this one. it's lightweight and holds well under hot weather. price wise it's very affordable and somethinc often holds sale, so just wait for sale. availability is also very good, since somethinc is widely available everywhere now. i'd definitely repurchase this in full size once i've finished all my stash. i'd also like to try their sun mist and sun stick as well. they look interesting as well.
