country& stream honey water uv gel

the last time i was in japan, i only try to get the eye serum from this brand because one influencer promotes it. i knew that they have sunscreen, but last time i only found the SPF 35 one and i live in tropical country, so SPF 35 won't be enough for me. however, i was almost desperate on my last visit to japan but on my second last day, i found a lot of sunscreens. one of them is this sunscreen and this one, it's their SPF 50. so obviously i bought it.

this is the description from yesstyle website: this hydrating sunscreen gel has a fresh formula featuring 6 organic herbal extracts, honey, royal jelly, 2 types of collagen and 3 types of hyaluronic acid to soothe, condition and hydrate skin. the non-sticky and non-greasy texture leaves skin comfortable while protecting it against sunburn, sun spots and other UV damage. suitable for daily use. comfortable UV that is fresh. SPF 50+ PA++++ powerful UV cut gel. it protects the skin from strong UV rays in daily life and leisure, and prevents dark spots and freckles caused by sunburn. despite its high SPF value, it cuts the burden on the skin such as squeak and dryness peculiar to sunscreen. comfortably strong UV protection with UV gel containing beauty moisturizing ingredients. natural moisturizing ingredients: honey, royal jelly extract. beauty moisturizing ingredients: 2 types of collagen, 3 types of hyaluronic acid. contains 6 kinds of of organic moisturizing ingredients (chamomile flower extract, jojoba leaf extract, lavender flower extract, rosemary flower extract, hagoromogusa leaf extract, artea root extract). ingredients to prevent rough skin: glycyrrhizic acid 2K hydrolyzed collagen, water-soluble collagen Na hyaluronic acid, hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid, Na acetyl hyaluronate. honey lemon scent.

the packaging: it comes in light blue plastic pouch with big transparent window at front and lots of description at the back, but everything is in japanese, as usual. the pouch is a resealable type. the sunscreen itself comes in a white plastic tube with light blue screw cap. there's another description at the back of the tube in japanese as well. the sunscreen comes in 45 g which is not much considering most japanese or korean sunscreens come in bigger size, around 70-80 g at least. 
the packaging
the scent: even though i've just finished it, i totally forgot how it smells like. but i don't have any problem with it, so even though this one is scented, it's probably very subtle.
the tube
the product: the sunscreen is a thick gel cream type that's easy to spread around. it doesn't leave any white cast, but i'm quite fair so i might not the right person to judge about it. it doesn't die down completely matte, maybe slightly satin? 
the opening
the result: this one is comfortable enough for me to use even on hot days like these days. it doesn't mess up with my makeup if i happen to wear any. however, i don't think it stays matte all day. i can feel around my t-zone, it becomes a bit oily. but not too much. as for protection, so far my face is still the same shade as before, considering i've been going out when it was the hottest to pick up my kids.

i'm glad i got the chance to try this one. i think this might be suitable for all skin types and this is quite gentle while still being protective. unfortunately, this brand is not easy to find, so if you can find it, try it. as for me, unless i can buy it again, i don't think i'll repurchase this one as i have another trip in the future and i'm sure i'll be buying lots of sunscreens, so yeah.. not repurchase for now.
