My skin gets itchy easily, so I bought Fancl sunscreen, which seems to be gentle. It's moisturizing and the most comfortable I've ever used. It doesn't itch, so I feel safe. The only drawback is that it doesn't spread well. So I end up using more than usual, which makes me wonder if it's not a good value for the money? Other than that, it's good, so I plan to buy it again.
It's not a smooth type, but a softer cream. Personally, I wish it spread a little more. It's neither good nor bad in terms of drying. It doesn't dry out particularly easily, but it doesn't keep my skin moisturized for long. The color is pure white, but it didn't turn white after application.

This product dries out my skin. It leaves my skin a little white, but that's not a problem. The pre-renewal version was better as it didn't dry out my skin. The SPF is just right, so it's a shame.
#RealReview #HonestReviewAfter using it, I used 30+. It has a firm texture, so it takes longer to apply than softer types. It doesn't have the typical sunscreen scent, but it's not light. It feels thick and moisturizing, like a sunscreen veil. It also leaves a slight whitening effect and may be prone to drying. I'm happy that it contains tranexamic acid! ────────────Review as of August 2, 2024 (↓)────────────Two types of FANCL sunscreens were released this year. 50+ is a newly relaunched product! 30+ is a brand new product! Both are non-chemical formulas that use UV scattering agents instead of UV absorbers, which is great for me as I have sensitive skin! 50+ has a smooth, emulsion-like texture. However, it's a little viscous, so it doesn't drip and is easy to apply. 30+ feels like a soft cream and is comfortable. I also liked that neither has the typical sunscreen scent and isn't too rough. The 50+ has a high UV rating, so it protects you from strong UV rays. The 30+ contains the whitening* active ingredient tranexamic acid and moisturizing ingredients, so it's excellent for skin care while protecting you from UV rays. I usually use the 30+, and when I go out in the summer, I use the 50+. *2 Whitening refers to suppressing melanin production and preventing blemishes and freckles.
