As the weather gets warmer and the haze gradually dissipates, the sun becomes more intense, so it is important to protect yourself from harmful UV rays. With so many sunscreen products on the market, which one should you choose? Look no further than these 10 classic sunscreens that not only offer great value for money but also have excellent reviews!
Avene Refreshing and Protective Sunscreen Lotion (Portable)
This adorable little sunscreen not only has cute packaging but is also reasonably priced. I love sunbathing, but ever since I started diving, I make sure to apply enough sunscreen and it has to be waterproof. The waterproof effectiveness of this product is amazing, making it my go-to sunscreen for diving. In addition, it is from a pharmaceutical brand and combines physical and chemical sunscreens. Although it may be slightly heavier compared to Japanese sunscreens, it is necessary for beach protection to prevent getting tanned!
Thann Nano Moringa Sunscreen Cream
This oil-free sunscreen cream has a lightweight texture and feels incredibly refreshing when applied. I have always been afraid of turning white like a ghost after applying sunscreen, but this cream does not leave any white residue. It also has great water resistance, making it suitable for those who sweat a lot in the summer. With an SPF30 rating, it provides sufficient sun protection for daily use. The only downside is that the packaging is quite small, so it tends to run out quickly!
Kose Sekkisei Whitening Sunscreen Gel
This was my first experience with a gel sunscreen, and although it is called a gel, it is more like a milky lotion in texture. It feels very refreshing due to its water-based formula and quickly blends into the skin. What sets it apart is its mild scent, which is not as strong in alcohol as the Sekkisei Whitening Lotion. It does not leave a white cast, clump, pill, or have any tint or powdery finish. Although it is a chemical sunscreen, it is not irritating. With SPF50 PA+++, it provides excellent sun protection, even at the hot beach.
Sunkiller Perfect Water Essence Sunscreen Gel
This sunscreen gel has an incredibly high UV protection factor of SPF50+ PA++++, and its liquid-like texture is light and non-greasy. It quickly transforms into a transparent finish after application, leaving no white residue. It provides a refreshing and moisturizing feel without making the skin oily, making it a perfect example of Japanese sunscreens. At 65 yuan for 50g, it is definitely the most cost-effective option among affordable sunscreens!
Kanebo ALLIE Mineral Moist UV Gel
This sunscreen gel quickly melts into the skin upon application, leaving a non-greasy and cooling sensation. It contains iridescent particles that help even out the skin tone, giving a radiant finish, similar to a makeup primer. It can be easily removed with facial cleanser. With its PA++++ rating, it offers the strongest UVA protection available!
Anessa Perfect UV Sunscreen Spray
Although Anessa's classic small gold bottle is highly recommended by many, I find it a bit too oily. Even after absorption, it still leaves a sticky feeling on the skin. However, this sunscreen spray does not. It has the same sun protection factor as the small gold bottle and can be used all over the body. It has a lightweight and non-sticky feel, making it perfect for summer. The spray design is also very convenient, and it can be used to touch up sunscreen even after applying makeup.
Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Essence Sunscreen
This sunscreen has been upgraded in 2015 to a new water-based formula. It locks in the sunscreen ingredients with agar, which enhances the UV protection and releases a large amount of water molecules upon application. Not only does it provide an instant refreshing sensation, but it also enhances the skin's hydration, leaving it moist and supple. It makes you forget that you even applied sunscreen!
Orbis Sunscreen Beauty Primer
Since its launch in 1993, this has been a superstar product for the brand. It is oil-free and provides excellent skin protection and coverage. It has been updated numerous times and now offers both sun protection and color correction. The matte powder surface absorbs sweat and excess sebum, while also diffusing light to give a radiant finish. It comes in both a refreshing and moisturizing version, providing a comfortable and non-greasy feel.
innisfree Perfect UV Protection Cream
This sunscreen cream has a milky white color and a subtle floral fragrance. After applying and patting it evenly, the skin becomes noticeably brighter without any white cast. It feels moisturizing and comfortable, without any greasiness. It leaves the skin looking translucent and is a sunscreen that is both hydrating and refreshing.
A'PIEU Pure Block Daily Sun Cream
This sunscreen cream was also featured on the popular Korean beauty program "Get It Beauty". It contains natural and gentle skincare ingredients, is non-greasy, and soothes and calms the skin, preventing dullness and breakouts. The best part is that it is super affordable, making it a must-have in Korean beauty.
