Review:
Hotpookas: Probably my top japanese sunscreen (or US for that matter). It's not runny, not greasy, not drying, no white cast unless you use too much; doesnt smell weird, doesnt give you perma pink face, lasts throughout the day although I haven't done a full pool test to rate how waterproof it is. Doesnt break me out ..so yay.
UV Filter(s): Zinc Oxide, Octinoxate, Uvinul A Plus & Tinosorb S.
Ivyn: This is my all time favourite sunscreen for face. I've finished up 2 bottles and one bottle lasts for a long time. I've used this in different type of weather - dry, humid, hot, cold and sunny days. I must say this sunscreen never fails me.
Firstly, the texture is clear gel and easily absorbed onto the skin without the stickiness. Secondly, I've managed to apply foundation on top of it without feeling the thickness. Most sunscreen leaves a white cast or dryness on my combination skin but this one has a perfect finish. Also, my face stayed fresh throughout the day. As with other sunscreens, my face would start to get oily in the afternoon.
key UV protection is given by these four ingredients: Zinc Oxide, Ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate (also known as Octinoxate), Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate (Uvinul A Plus), and BisEthylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine (Tinosorb S). Apart from the sunscreens the product also contains a bunch of moisturizers like Glycerin, Royal Honey and Hyaluronic acid. There are some potential irritants in the lists, but all in all the ingredients are safe to use.
