tocobo bio watery sunscreen

when i knew i would be going to korea, i had this long list of sunscreens that i wanted to buy. the list was quite long, but thankfully, there were a lot of testers at olive young so i managed to cut down the list. there were some sunscreens that didn't make the cut, but tocobo definitely makes the cut. in fact, i managed to buy the cream version and the stick version. anyway, i'm trying the cream version first, so let's talk about it.
the box

the packaging: i bought this as a set. a full size product with two minis. it comes in a blue box with yellow combination. they have the picture of all products inside at front, so you know what you're getting. there are descriptions at the back in korean. it might contain ingredients list, but i don't know for sure. the sunscreen itself comes in this light blue, flat bottle with screw cap. there's a short spout to dispense the product. the full size is 50 ml, while the minis are 2x10 ml.
everything inside
the scent: honestly.. i forgot how it smelled like. i can say that it doesn't smell like any other sunscreens, but it's not completely scentless either. for me, the smell doesn't bother me at all. but if you're sensitive to scent, you might want to try the tester first.
the full size bottle
the product: it's a white, lotion-like sunscreen. at first, it looks creamy, but turns out it's quite runny. it's lightweight and easy to spread around. it doesn't take much effort to blend it. it truly feels like the name. watery. 
the spout
the result: it gives a decent amount of glow, but it won't make your skin oily. it doesn't leave white cast either, but i'm pretty fair, so you might want to look for other people's review, especially for darker skin tone. this one gives decent protection since i always pick up my kids at school when it's scorching hot, and i don't see any difference in my skin tone. it doesn't break me out either despite being SPF 50.

i'm satisfied with this sunscreen. it totally deserves the raves. but sadly, it's not available here. so even though it ticks all (lightweight, no white cast, easy to use, not break me out), sadly i probably won't be able to repurchase this unless i go to korea again. anyway, if you can get this one, definitely check it out. it's lightweight so i think all skin types can try it. price wise, i can't say for sure since i forgot to convert it to my currency, but i think it's still affordable, considering it comes with minis and all.
