as i've said numerous times, i rarely buy single product from one brand. so when i saw kleveru had released several products that i haven't tried, naturally i wanted to try it. so i bought the rhodiola moisturizer and their new sunscreen. talking about the sunscreen, it was a bit silly. at first, i was eyeing the amaterasun sunscreen, the transparent one. but i was torn since i have good experience with kleveru, so i decided to buy kleveru first. however, when i was about to go to bali, i thought i bought the transparent one so i grabbed kleveru and brought it with me. when i used it, imagine my surprise to find that it's not transparent and realized that i haven't bought the transparent one. silly me. anyway, i've bought the amaterasun, so expect the review in a few months. for now, let's talk about the kleveru sunscreen.
this is the description on their website: first in indonesia! sunscreen with L-ergothioneine (EGT) complex. ergothioneine functions to protect skin from UV ray and provide fresh and cooling sensation, keeping your skin cool and comfortable all day. ergo soothe and fresh sunscreen is a watery milky gel sunscreen with 11 active ingredients to protect skin from UVA and UVB sun exposure (SPF 50+ PA++++). formulated with fresh and cooling sensation which cool, refresh, and soothe reddish skin as well as high antioxidants with light texture that quickly absorbed.
the packaging: i don't think it comes in any box. if there is one, i'm sorry since i've forgotten about it. they do seal the tube though, so rest assure that it will be safe during transport. the sunscreen comes in a white plastic squeeze tube with blue accent. there's description on the back but nothing about the packaging. they use flip top which is highly appreciated. now.. let's move on onto the important part. they didn't put any instructions about how to use the sunscreen on it. so when i looked closely, i saw that there's a tall part between the body and the flip top, which is weird. i can twist the top part open to remove the sealing on the inside opening, but then, i don't see any hole when i open the cap. i thought it was a faulty, but then my husband told me to google it. turns out, i have to twist that tall part body to reveal the opening! and then you can squeeze the sunscreen out. actually, if you see their website, there's a reason behind it. if you squeeze the sunscreen until it covers all part of the top, you will get approximately 1,25 ml, which is the suggestion amount for sunscreen usage. so basically, it will help you to make sure you use enough sunscreen. it comes in 50 g which is not a lot for a suncreen.

the scent: honestly, i forgot. but i think it has subtle scent. like floral or something. but it's very subtle.

the product: it's a white creamy sunscreen that's leaning toward lotion-like in texture. so like a thick lotion? i can feel a bit of gel feeling in it. so it's not your typical thick creamy sunscreen. you can spread it around easily. i have no problem reaching the target with this sunscreen. it's quick absorbing as well.

the result: this one doesn't leave white cast, but as i always say, i'm quite fair to begin with, so make sure to check other people's reviews, especially from darker skin gals if you have dark skin tone. i do feel the cooling sensation, however, it's not always there. the first time i notice it is when i first using it. i can feel the slight cooling sensation. but i never experience it when i use this to reapply. i use this sunscreen when i was in bali and it works well. i don't experience any sunburn on parts when i remember to apply diligently (i rarely use sleeveless tops, so i got sunburn on my back where my hand can't reach and i forgot to apply the sunscreen there). however, this is the first sunscreen that melts into my eyes and it stings! i use this to reapply, but it was so hot that i was sweating like crazy. and i can feel the sunscreen melting and somehow, it was able to go through my eyelashes and boy.. it stings like hell! so yeah, be careful if you're sensitive since it might sting your eyes. this sunscreen also gives serious glow so if you're on the oily side, you might want to set your makeup so it will last throughout the day.

to be honest, i do like this sunscreen. it's lightweight and enjoyable to use. the size is quite small so it's travel friendly. more over with the twisting head, it makes it even more secure to bring it everywhere. i have no problem reapplying this and even though i use makeup on top of this sunscreen, as long as i've set it with powder, i have no problem with it. i do think it's suitable for all skin types, but if you're on the oily side, you might want to set this with powder. and if you're sensitive, you need to be careful as it might melt and sting your eyes. since kleveru is a local brand, it's easy to find it here and it's super affordable. as for me, i'm on the verge. i do like this, but it hurts my eyes so i will put this in my maybe list.
