Best praise vs top criticism for Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Essence SPF 50+
“I'm black and definitely only go for chemical sunscreens because of this. Highly recommend looking into Japanese ones (avoid anything that says Tone Up though or anything similar sounding). Right now I'm using Biore Aqua Rich and it's zero white cast on me.”
“I'm sort of similar, I had fine skin until i went to college around 18 then boom I guess my hormones kicked in and did a number on me My parents didn't have it as bad and they were just like just wash your face more or it'll eventually go away, after numerous otc products i resorted to bootleg accutane looking back yes it was stupid but I was desperate, eventually I was able to get doctor prescribed course for a regular course but it eventually came back and I went onto tazorac which was a very strong retinoid now I think my hormones have calmed but I still have the occasional breakout almost nearing 50 but hey I know how to care for my skin I guess I found the very light sunscreen lotions from japan the water bliss one or something like that that are water based don't break me out..........i avoid anything with oil since my skin seems to breakout because of that the struggle is real I hope you find something that works! this is the sunscreen that really was gentle on my face Nivea UV Super Water Gel 50 (Japanese) and Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Essence (Japanese) the biore one”
