since almost everyone doesn't seem to like the new biore formulation, i didn't grab one when i was in japan last time. i was hesitating whether or not to get the anessa one, but in the end i grab one. and i also grab this one too, considering now i'm using my sunscreen faster than ever! oh, and i also get the spray version too. honestly, i know nothing about this brand, so i have no idea what to hope for other than it works as well as biore one and it has matte finish just like the biore one. does it satisfy me? let's see.....
you can read the description from ratzillacosme's website here.
the packaging: as usual, the packaging has cardboard backing and the plastic cover that you can slide over to get the tube out. the tube itself is light blue with white screw cap. there's description at the back but everything is in japanese, of course. there's a label at the front to indicate which type it is. it has the usual spout to dispose the sunscreen. it also comes in 80 ml size, bigger than biore essence but a little less than biore gel.
the scent: it has that super subtle sweet fruity scent but i also pick a hint of alcohol scent in it. the scent is quickly dissipates. i usually put it on the back on my hand first before doting it on my face. and i can't pick up the scent even before i dot it on my face.
the product: it's categorized as gel-cream, but i think it's more of a runny cream. more milky than biore uv essence, but runnier than TFS sunscreen. i think it has similar consistency as biore uv gel. it's easy to spread but take awhile to sink in. since it has alcohol in it, i feel a cooling sensation right after i spread it on my skin, but only for a couple of second.
the result: after being completely absorbed, it leaves greasy feeling, unlike biore that turns matte completely. after i use my usual makeup, i will look more dewy than usual. oil control is definitely poorer than biore. but nothing that a powder can't handle.
i definitely won't repurchase this one, but for dry skin, this might be a good option for daily sunscreen. but if you're sensitive to alcohol, perhaps you should skip this. normal to oily skin if you don't mind looking extra dewy or doesn't mind putting powder on top of your makeup, then you'll be fine.
