Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Essence SPF50, 70g

(1) SPF50+ PA++++ broad-spectrum protection — shields against both UVB and UVA rays
(2) Ultra-watery texture absorbs instantly with zero white cast on all skin tones
(3) Hydrates while protecting — sodium hyaluronate keeps skin comfortable all day

It's the sunscreen that converts people who've always hated wearing sunscreen. The texture lands somewhere between water and serum — it spreads across the face in seconds, sinks in without any drag or stickiness, and leaves absolutely nothing behind on the surface. No white cast, no shine, no weight. Under makeup it performs like a lightweight primer; on its own it just looks like bare skin. For a daily Japanese face sunscreen, it's the kind of product that moves from the bathroom shelf into your bag because you actually want to wear it — which, for SPF50+ protection, is half the battle.

(1) Chemical UV Filter Blend (Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Ethylhexyl Triazone, Bisethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine) — high-protection, no-cast coverage
(2) Sodium Hyaluronate — draws moisture into skin for a plump, comfortable finish
(3) Royal Jelly Extract — soothes and supports skin moisture throughout the day
(4) Glycerin & Xylitol — humectants that keep skin from feeling tight or dry
(5) Tocopherol (Vitamin E) — antioxidant protection against UV-triggered free radical damage

After moisturiser has fully absorbed, squeeze a pearl-sized amount of Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Essence onto fingertips and spread evenly across the face and neck. The texture is thin and spreads quickly — work fast and blend before it sets. Apply at least 15 minutes before sun exposure. Reapply every 2 to 3 hours when outdoors. Remove at the end of the day with your regular facial cleanser.

Q: Does Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Essence leave a white cast?
A: No — Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Essence uses a chemical-only UV filter system with no zinc oxide or titanium dioxide, so it absorbs completely clear on all skin tones with no white residue.
Q: Is Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Essence suitable for dry skin?
A: It can work on dry skin, but it's most comfortable on normal to oily skin. The formula contains alcohol fairly high in the ingredient list, which helps create the ultra-light texture but may feel drying on very dry or sensitised skin. Adding a hydrating moisturiser underneath helps offset this.
Q: Can I use Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Essence under makeup?
A: Yes — the fast-absorbing, non-sticky finish makes Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Essence one of the most makeup-friendly daily sunscreens available. It provides a smooth, slightly mattifying base that helps foundation and cushion products apply more evenly.
Q: Does Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Essence need to be removed with an oil cleanser?
A: The standard formula is water-resistant but designed to wash off with a gentle facial cleanser or soap — no dedicated remover or double cleanse is strictly required. That said, double cleansing is still a good habit to ensure full removal at the end of the day.
Q: How often should I reapply Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Essence?
A: Reapplication every 2 to 3 hours is recommended when spending time outdoors, after sweating heavily, or after blotting. For indoor days with minimal sun exposure, a single morning application is generally sufficient.
