when i went to japan, i always make sure that i bought lots of sunscreen. especially after the biore one has gone through formula changes that lots of people don't like, we all seems to be in a hunt for the perfect sunscreen one more time. i decided to try some new releases, one of them was nivea. i've heard good reviews about other nivea sunscreen, but since japanese like to renew their formula and packaging every 3 years, i decided to get the newest one to try. and i've set for their gel type.

| the packaging |
the packaging: i think this is standard japanese packaging. most of the sunscreens that i bought comes in cardboard backing with plastic cover. the back of the cardboard has some description and maybe ingredients list, but everything is in japanese. once you rip the plastic cover, you can hold the bottle. it's a blue plastic bottle with weird dumbell-like shape. it has twist cap and spout to dispense the product. at the back of the bottle, there's another description but still in japanese. it comes in 80 ml which is the same size as biore uv gel.

the scent: i thought it has a bit citrusy scent similar to biore one, but it's very subtle and i'm not sure since i finish it when i wrote this review (this is unusual for me. usually i've already written a review before i finished the whole product). and since i always do my morning routine in a rush, i somehow forget how this one smell. if you're worried about scent, then don't since it's barely noticeable once you put it on your face.

| the description at the back |
the product: it's a white lotion which is pretty runny just like the biore one. it spreads easily on my skin and takes quite some time to be absorbed. the difference is, this one leave a bit milky white traces after being spread out, but it will be gone after being completely absorbed.

| the spout on top |
the result: although it leaves white traces at first, it will be gone after being completely absorbed. you just keep patting it to your skin. it doesn't leave sticky feeling, but it doesn't give you matte finish either. you still need to put powder on top if you don't want your makeup on top of it melts after a few hour in hot days.

| the sunscreen on my hand |
i like it, but i'm not super eager about it. i still like biore uv gel best and then the shiseido one better. if i don't put powder, it will make my face greasy after a few hours, especially when it's super hot. i don't experience any breakouts from this sunscreen, so if i couldn't find a new favorite one, i might put this one on my sunscreen rotation. this one is also affordable. i think beside anessa, there are lots of affordable japanese sunscreen. however, if you're not living in japan and you can't shop this online, then you might get difficulty getting this one. so, it's really up to you whether or not to try it. as for me, i will put it in my "maybe repurchase" category.
