This is absolutely incredible. The finish is a little radiant but it doesn't feel heavy or greasy as it goes on. It's also 200 mL which is BANANAS for the price (15 USD at the time of writing). No cast or eye stinging for me either. The size makes this perfect for face and body. It also has an herbal scent that isn't overpowering on me and does linger a bit after application. I am obsessed with this.
This is absolutely stunning. A lightweight gel that does leave a slight glow but doesn’t feel heavy at all on the skin. AHC is known for packing it’s products with active ingredients, and this is no exception. There’s antioxidants, brighteners, soothing ingredients, hydrators, and some ingredients that function like peptides. Not sure if these all can get into the skin to do what they need to do, but it’s impressive nonetheless. The texture is weirdly… chunky at first, but it’s smooth once it applies on the skin. Absolutely fantastic.
A fantastic Korean sunscreen, what else is new. This sunscreen gel has no cast or eye stinging, leaves a fantastic natural finish that isn’t heavy or shiny, and feels like dream. It has a slight fresh / floral smell that’s noticeable upon application but doesn’t linger. This specific product is relatively tiny (35 mL at the time of writing), but you can find it in packs of two or three, which I absolutely love.
ISEHAN | Kiss Me Sunkiller Perfect Water Essence SPF50+ Pa++++ (🇯🇵) {Face}

This looks similar to the Biore watery essence, but they're totally different! This has a citrus scent, but has a natural/satin finish that doesn't make the skin more or less shiny, IMO. It goes on like nothing. No cast or eye stinging, an applies so easily. Stunning.
So this sunscreen is absolutely beautiful. It’s a lightweight gel that’s moisturizing, but not heavy. No cast at all. AND it’s 100 mL!! An absolute winner for me. The packaging doesn’t have the UVA circle (means that the UVAPF is at least 1/3 of the SPF) but the founder has assured me that it does meet that criteria and it will be present on updated packaging. Everything about this product is absolutely flawless.
This is absolutely fantastic. This body sunscreen gives a glow but it’s not glittery and shiny and it doesn’t seem to transfer a lot (for me). The lotion is RUNNY though so don’t squeeze too hard. It goes on a little golden brown but it sheers out to a gorgeous transparent and natural finish that isn’t at all greasy. Will absolutely be keeping this in my arsenal.
Y’all… these Nivea sunscreens in the UK drug stores are so good. This is a relatively straightforward formula with no fragrance, unlike the other Nivea sunscreens at Boots. This has a natural finish and I had no problems AT ALL. I’ve heard reports of pilling from this, but I had no issues. This is fantastic!
This is a silky lotion and it’s TRULY beautiful. It applies so easily, no cast (didn’t expect any), doesn’t sting my eyes, and has a really nice cocktail of soothing, hydrating, and pigment-fighting ingredients. I think this would be suitable for all skin types because it’s moisturizing, but not heavy at all. An INCREDIBLE sunscreen experience.
PURITO | Daily Soft Touch Sunscreen SPF50+ Pa++++ (🇰🇷) {Face}

Another sunscreen from Purito, oh happy day. In stark contrast to the Daily Go-To Sunscreen, this one has a very natural finish and gives a very slight glow, but isn't shiny or wet. It is like it says, soft to the touch. No cast or eye stinging for me and was easy to apply and felt calming on the skin. I will caution that this does have a sunscreen filter that can leave a cast, so you MIGHT have problems if you are much darker than me and have facial hair. Overall, this is gorgeous and will be one of the sunscreens that I keep on hand.
This is perfection, you hear me? PERFECTION. As the name suggests, this is a gel that has a little bit of heft like a moisturizer and feels hydrating, but isn’t greasy at all. It’s incredibly easy to spread and dries down to a gorgeous natural finish. No cast or eye stinging, obviously. I’m genuinely obsessed with this. NO NOTES.
Ultra Violette has done it again. Previously, their Supreme Screen was my favorite of their formulas, but this one takes the cake. This feels like water and goes on the skin like absolutely nothing. No cast or eye stinging. The finish is incredibly natural, it doesn’t look like I have anything on my face. Absolutely love this. Currently impossible to get in the US though, which is an absolute bummer.
