How to use
After toning your skin with lotion, emulsion, or cream, shake well, then take an appropriate amount (approximately 2 cm in diameter) in your hand and gently apply evenly to your entire face. Using too little will result in insufficient UV protection. To maintain sunscreen effectiveness, reapply after wiping off sweat. To remove, wash thoroughly with your usual cleanser (face wash, makeup remover, etc.).

It can be used even when your skin is rough without causing any irritation.
It's inexpensive yet gentle on the skin, which is great! I bought it for use at home in the fall and winter. It tends to leave a white cast, so if you want to use it instead of a primer, another Curel UV might be better... I'll compare it to my Anessa Day Serum N. ■Anessa Day Serum NPrice: 3,498 yen for 30ml (116.6 yen/ml) Index: SPF50+/PA++++Texture: SmoothEasy to apply: ◎Spreads easily and is less likely to smudge.Tone-up: ◎Brightens complexion.Usage: ◎Not heavy for an SPF50+. Not sticky.Scent: ○Nearly unnoticeable.■Curel Intense Moisture Base MilkPrice: 30ml 1,760 yen (58.7 yen/ml) Index: SPF30/PA+++Texture: SmoothEasy to apply: ○Spreads easily. Can be uneven if not careful.Tone-up: △Whitens skin, but tends to smudge. Doesn't leave a shiny finish.Usage: ◎Light! It's not sticky. It's very moisturizing. The scent is great. I didn't notice anything at all. After comparing them, I felt that both were good products. The price of this Curel UV is reasonable, so I don't mind the slight drawbacks. It's very light, so I'm happy that I don't feel hesitant to reapply. I'll use Day Serum N when I go out in the summer, and this base milk otherwise.
I bought this when my skin was in bad condition and have used it several times. It feels like my skin is being protected. When I applied this, my face turned white, so I couldn't use it alone.
I bought it after seeing a YouTube video that showed it had a great tanning effect. It's white when you apply it, but it doesn't leave a white cast. It doesn't cause acne or irritation to the skin. I plan to buy it again for fall and winter.
I can use it without worry, even on acne-prone or sensitive skin, without any stress on my skin. It has helped me get through rough skin times, so it's become my go-to cosmetic. The UV protection rate is just right for everyday use. It feels refreshing and blends well with the skin. It doesn't have much coverage, but it does subtly brighten the skin, giving it a beautiful, bare-faced look. If I'm out and about, I use this with powder.
