i totally forgot that i have this in my stash. i thought i have gone through all my local brand sunscreen, but apparently i missed this one. anyway, one glance at the size and i know that it should be enough during my singapore trip. anyway, let's see how it goes.
this is the translated description from their website: with lightweight cream texture and easy to absorb, this formula gives protection that also helps maintain skin to keep bright, moist, and healthy. this product has main ingredients such as sodium hyaluronate, chamomile flower extract, and allantoin that will moisten and soothe skin. combined with 3-0 ethyl ascorbic acid that's effective to brighten the skin.
key ingredients: 0.1% sodium hyaluronate (HA), 0.05% allantoin, 0.1% 3-0 ethyl ascorbic acid and 0.5% chamomile flower extract
the packaging: it comes in gradient light blue/white box with descriptions on it in indonesian and english. there's also a complete ingredients list at the back of the box. there's a hologram sticker to seal the top of the box and transparent plastic sticker at the bottom. the sunscreen itself also comes in gradient light blue/white flat plastic squeeze tube with screw cap. there's a spout to dispense the product. it's only 30 ml which is why i said it should be enough for my 10 days trip.

the scent: i forgot how this smells like. i think this smells a bit citrusy, but i might be wrong. anyway, it's very subtle.

the product: it's a lightweight white cream just as described, but i think there's a bit gel texture in it, considering that it's easy to spread around. it leaves a bit white cast but as i keep rubbing it, it disappears at the end.

the result: it gives a slight glow afterward and it doesn't mess with my makeup. i actually want to try this under hot weather, but somehow, the weather in singapore was not as hot as i guessed it would be. it was cloudy most days and even rainy for a couple days we were there. the only sunny days were the weekends, when we almost went back home. and then, back home, it's not as hot as i thought it would be. at least not for a week after. i have to say that i don't see any changes in my skin color, so i guess it give the protection that it's supposed to give.
avoskin is a hit and miss for me, but this time, it's kind of a hit for me. it's lightweight and it doesn't turn oily as the day goes by. however, i don't like how little it is. like, it will only last for two weeks for me. in that case, it's not so affordable anymore that way. anyway, if you're looking for a lighweight sunscreen that doesn't come big in size and still affordable and easy to get almost everywhere, then this is one that you should give a try. as for me, i have lots of sunscreens in my stash to try so i probably won't repurchase this any time soon. but if you're traveling for a week or so and need something small to bring around, this is a good option.
