i knew i still have some sunscreens that i bought in japan, but i can't resist not to buy new sunscreen. there are some suncreens from local brand that i haven't tried but i decided to just buy one more. there's this new matte sunscreen from carasun and i decided to buy that one first. i've tried the solar one, the one that comes in yellow packaging and it's quite interesting, so i wanted to see whether this one comes in similar format or not.
this is the translated description from their official marketplace channel: sunscreen with SPF 50+ PA++++. maximum protection from UVA and UVB for the skin. contains kaolin clay from tropical country, this sunscreen can help control oil and give shine-free look for 12 hours. contains rice extract to give skin nutrition, prevent acne, and quick to absorbed into the skin without feeling tacky. formulated without alcohol and suitable for sensitive skin.

the packaging: this comes in a dark green box with yellow tab on the side. there are descriptions and ingredients list at the back of the box. the sunscreen comes in the same color as the box. dark green plastic squeeze tube with white plastic flip top. it comes in 30 ml which is not much for a sunscreen. pretty sure i can finish this in no time. one of the reason why i was confident in buying this one despite still have some in my stash. anyway, i have no complaint about the packaging. i just wish it comes in bigger size.

the scent: actually, i've already forgotten how it smells like. in my mind, i remembered this has a subtle fresh/citrusy scent. but i might be wrong. i was testing several sunscreens in a row so my brain couldn't keep up. anyway, nothing weird and nothing overpowering either so whether it's scentless or has subtle scent, it's not a problem.

the product: the yellow one has unique texture, being advertised as airy as cloud. so i wonder if the green one is the same. however, it's not completely the same. it does feel airy just like the yellow one, but this one is more creamy than the yellow one. however, both comes in white cream and this one is a bit thicker. but it's still easy to spread around and it's quick to absorbed, just as promised.

the result: while the yellow one might feels a bit heavy on normal to oily skin, this one surprisingly leaves matte finish after completely absorbed and it feels lightweight. this one really leaves matte finish which i really appreciate especially during hot and sweaty weather. as for the protection, this works okay since i don't experience sunburn or anything.

this is completely a win for me. however, i still wish that it comes in bigger size since 50 ml is too little. if you're looking for a matte finish local brand sunscreen, then i do recommend this one. as for the price, i forgot how much this is, but it's still in the affordable range. though maybe not as cheap as azarine ones, but still.. affordable. definitely putting this in my repurchase list if i ever run out of sunscreen to try.
