The reason I made this website (seriously). I've bought 20+ bottles of Biore sunscreens since the year 2014. I've tried so many of the sunscreens out there (Annessa, SuperGoop, Neutrogena, Cerava AM, etc.) OMG they all cannot compare.

Face: Biore Watery Essence. It was made for face and has no white cast.

Body: Biore Watery Gel. It was made for body and has a slight white cast. It's cheaper than the face version.

Why I like it:

• It works. Japanese sunscreens are the way to go. They take sunscreens super seriously because of the pale af beauty standard. Therefore they pursue new tech way more whereas the US FDA hasn't approved new sunscreen compounds in like 10 years. In addition, they use the PA system which accounts for UVA (the wavelength in charge of aging and tanning) whereas the US's SPF system only accounts for UBV (the wavelengths that ~burn~). Except if you read carefully for "full spectrum coverage" which protects against UVA + UBV, thank you Michael for correcting me. But I DIGRESS. Japanese sunscreens hella work. And they're all really high quality because of the fierce domestic competition.
• It feels great. Annessa is oily on my skin (although my wonderful boyfriend likes it very much). Supergoop starts getting runny into my eyes sometime in the middle of the afternoon (although my wonderful boyfriend also like it very much b/c it comes in a bigass bottle). But Biore is non-oily, dries quickly, and basically unnoticable through the day. You still gotta take it off with oil cleansing though, like all sunscreens.
• It's cheap. Only $12/13 in the US or $5/6 in Japan. Compare to Annessa being like 30 bucks smh unnecessary. I get mine on Yesstyle and use it as free shipping fodder.

"People saying this is the best cleansing oil they've ever used are surely exaggerating," I said. "How can a cleansing oil of all things stand out?" Well, my past self was so wrong! This is the best cleansing oil I've ever slathered on my face! It takes off sunscreen/makeup like a dream with literally ZERO residue feeling left on the face and leaves the skin feeling EXCEPTIONALLY soft. Wow. Try to get this in Japan or on Korean Air sky magazine if possible because the price goes from 50 -> 30 dollars. Hella expensive for a cleansing oil but let me tell you, it is worth every cent.

What can I say. Asia's miracle water is indeed a miracle. The first time I used a sample, I woke up the next morning and my face glowed like a lightblub 💡💡💡. Even now, if I don't use this thing for a while (between refills) I can feel the differnce. Get the huge 330ml bottle via Costco and it will last you 1.5 years.
