my friend has been recommending this sunscreen for me to try. i still had my skintific sunscreens at that time, but there was a gap in between the skintific and my next japan trip, so i decided to buy this and fss one. and this one arrives just in time. my previous sunscreen was gone when i went to the US that i had to buy elf one while i was there. i didn't want to bring the elf one to japan, so i opened this one for my japan trip.
there's nothing written on their page about this sunscreen. even their official marketplace only has a bit of explanation. this is what i manage to get: sunscreen with 10.000 ppm jeju cactus extract from korea. 2% niacinamide, SPF 50 PA++++, UVA UVB protection. watery texture. easy to absorbs. non greasy.
the packaging: it comes in yellow and green box which is in similar vibe with the tube. the sunscreen itself comes in light green plastic squeeze tube with yellow screw cap to cover the spout that dispenses the sunscreen. there's no description at the back of the tube, but there's an ingredients list printed at the back of the tube. however, i'm quite surprised to see that this only comes in 30 ml. it's just as small as the skintific ones. so sad.. i brought this with me to japan for my holiday and i almost finish it there. so, be mindful about the size.

the scent: i don't think this has specific sunscreen's scent so i'm okay with it.

the product: the sunscreen is a gel-cream type of sunscreen that's easy to spread around. it's a bit thick so it doesn't run down on my face and hand when i put it on.

the result: once i spread it around, it takes a few second for it to settle down, but once it's settled down, there's no white cast left. it feels comfortable and lightweight.

this one is lightweight, doesn't leave white cast and comfortable to use all day. even though it's hot and humid, somehow this one manages to withstand the weather. however, since it's quite thick, even though i don't need as much as the previous sunscreen, somehow i go through this one pretty fast because i use this for my face, neck and arms. anyway, 30 ml is too little for sunscreen in my opinion. but again, if you don't have any problem with it, then go ahead. this one is a good option for a tropical weather. but if you want something that's more worth for the buck, then there are other options that are as cheap but comes in bigger size than this one. for me, definitely won't repurchase mainly because the size is too small.
