There is no explanation on how much sunscreen to use, so it’s difficult to determine how much to put on and reapply to protect your skin from the UV. However, due to the complex and well-developed formula, as well as the ability to build up the product without making your skin uncomfortable, I’m not too worried about how to use it. But it would be nice to have some reference to follow. Biore belongs to the Japanese company Kao. Kao has been around since 1887 (!), started with manufacturing soaps and has been branching out ever since. They own not only brands you might associate with J-Beauty like Kate, Kanebo and MegRhythm, but also John Frieda, Oribe and Molton Brown. Description Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Essence Spf50+ Pa++++ This formula also contains silicones, which may cause breakouts in some people (though my skin doesn’t seem to react negatively to silicones). It also includes royal jelly extract, which is used more commonly in Asia than in the U.S. According to this article, royal jelly is applied topically to help reduce inflammation and moisturize the skin. Ethylhexyl Triazone is amore modernchemical sunscreen which I believe is not available in the US yet due to FDA regulations. It gives thehighest photo-stable absorption of all available UVB filterstoday. Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate Water, Ethanol, Ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate, Ethylhexyl triazone, Isopropyl palmitate, Lauryl Methacrylate/Sodium Methacrylate Crosspolymer, Diethylamino hydroxybenzoyl hexyl benzoate, Hydrogenated polyisobutene, Bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine, Dextrin Palmitate, BG, Xylitol, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Dimethicone, alkyl benzoate (C12-15), Glycerin, Glyceryl stearate, Propanediol, Glyceryl behenate, Vinyl dimethicone / methicone Silsesquioxane crosspolymer, Cetanol, Agar, Sorbitan distearate, Isoceteth-20, Polyvinyl alcohol, Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Sodium Stearoyl Glutamate, Arginine, Potassium hydroxide, Sodium Hydroxide, Royal jelly extract, Sodium Hyaluronate, Phenoxyethanol, EDTA-2Na, BHT, Fragrance
Ethylhexyl Triazone (also known as octyltriazone or Uvinul T 150) protects against UVB ( read more about it here) The Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Essence is a chemical sunscreen. The chemical filters in the sunscreen are detailed below. Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate During my trip to Japan last fall, I tried to keep an eye out for the most popular cosmetics (specifically, I was mainly interested in face masks and sunscreens). Biore UV Aqua Rich Water Essence was definitely one of the most commonly spotted products on many shelves, so it seems like it’s pretty popular. The Bioré UV Watery Essence Aqua Rich Sunscreen contains an advanced micro defense formula that is specifically developed by Bioré for this particular product. The formula not only helps spread the product evenly and smoothly onto the surface of the skin, but the formula lets the product stay on your face longer. Overall, I have to say, it is pretty difficult to think of any cons, because the product works very well with my skin. Nonetheless, I will be listing some cons that do not apply to myself, but may be applied to others. The Pros:

How do you use Biore Aqua Rich Watery Essence?
Just need to confirm the stability of this formula (stable emulsion without separation)one way to tell is to squeeze Product to your palm and observe if any running liquid coming out from the cream or not. It’s definitely not going to do your pores or oily skin any favors. But it’s probably for layering with makeup
Octinoxate is the only FDA-approved active that is included in this product. The other three are not currently approved for use in U.S. sunscreens, they have been approved outside the U.S. for some time. This article from BASF (the maker of these sunscreen actives) explains it. Tinosorb S is an oil-soluble UVA filter that peaks in protection around 350nm, and has been available in Europe since 2000 (with approval in Japan and Australia about five years after that). Uvinul A Plus’s protection peaks around 355 nm. This makes both Tinosorb S and Uvinul A Plus good sources of UVA protection (hence the high PA++++ rating for this sunscreen). My Dad the Chemist’s review of Biore UV Aqua Rich Water Essence SPF 50+ PA++++ Although you can use both products on your face and your body, the biggest difference between these two products is that the Biore Aqua Rich UV Watery Essence is better to use on your face as a foundation primer rather than the Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Gel, which may be better to use on your body. The Biore UV Aqua Rich watery Gel may be used on your face for foundation primer, but the chances that the sunscreen gel would become flakey is higher since the gel version is denser than the watery essence version.He also provided a tip for testing how stable a sunscreen is: Squeeze some into your palm and see if there is any liquid oozing out from the cream portion or not. I’ve definitely seen this separation occur in old sunscreens when they’ve been sitting around too long.
