The Nivea sunscreen I had been using has been discontinued, so I purchased this on Suzykirei shopping using the keywords "Nivea," "SPF50+," and "PA++++." I use it as a sunscreen for my face and neck. Because it's an essence, I can use it as is without shaking. The package claims that it's "overwhelmingly refreshing" and "blends in like a disappearing scrub," and I really like how easy it is to spread and how it feels when I use it. It comes in an 80g bottle, so it seems like good value for money.
It's great that it spreads easily and doesn't whiten the skin. It's stress-free to use, just like skincare. Since it's winter, the sunscreen effect isn't as noticeable, but I really like it because it's so easy to use.
I bought this at a drugstore after seeing someone recommend it on social media. The texture is somewhere between a gel and a lotion. It has a scent. The contrast between the blue of the container and the blue of the lid is very cute, and I like the design. [Body] It feels like a film when applying. It becomes smooth fairly quickly, but I still found the filmy feeling a bit bothersome. [Face Application] It's a cloudy liquid, but it blends into a clear consistency as you spread it, so I felt it saved time when I was busy. It felt like a natural, glossy veil was placed on the high points of my cheeks and around my nose. △ During application, I could directly sense the ethanol, so I noticed the drying effect over time. I purchased it without checking carefully, but since ethanol is listed early on the ingredient list, I realized after purchasing that the amount was probably too high. I like the ease of application and the finished look, but I felt a dry, prickly feeling on my forehead and around my eyes after a relatively short time, so I felt it wasn't suitable for autumn and winter. One thing I particularly noticed was that after about 10 minutes of application, my eyes started to hurt and I started to tear up. I didn't sweat, so it seems like some of the ingredients just didn't suit me. It has a slightly cooling sensation upon application, so I'd like to try using it on my body during the humid summer months. Some reviews have mentioned that even reapplying it three times a day caused a gradual burn, so this product may be a controversial one. I thought it might be better suited to men with oily skin. I wanted to use it as much as I could after purchasing it, but maybe I chose the wrong time... It was so dry after application that I had to wash my face and wash it off immediately. I'll keep it in the refrigerator until next summer. Also from Kao: Biore Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Hold Cream. I love it and plan to continue using it.
It's neither good nor bad. It spreads smoothly and is not sticky. It doesn't leave any white residue or stain on clothes. If you're unsure what to choose, this is a good choice.
The smell is a bit bothersome, but I like the product itself so I keep buying it. It also makes my makeup go on well.
