Toot or Boot: Biore UV Face Milk Review

 

Good day to everyone who’s reading this and a special shout out to my beloved #MachoFam! Today we’ll be reviewing another sunblock from Biore. I’ve reviewed A LOT of sunscreens from this brand:

• Biore UV Aqua Water Gel SPF50
• Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Essence SPF50 PA++
• Biore UV Bright Face Milk Sunscreen

and you can tell how much I love BIORE because of its light and watery qualities. It’s perfect for daily use. Especially in a hot and humid country like the Philippines. BUT! Here’s a big BUT. Would this be the first time that I’ll be tooting a sunscreen from Biore? Find out whether Biore UV Face Milk SPF 50++ (SRP: 350php white) is a TOOT or a BOOT.

Biore UV Face Milk Review

 

Price – 350php for 30ml
Packaging – In a compact white bottle with a shaker ball inside.
Texture – Milky texture that spreads evenly on skin and dries invisible
Does it work? As a sunscreen? Definitely. As makeup base? Perfection.  I do have one qualm that I noted on the CONS section.

PROS

• Affordable for a quality japanese brand sunscreen
• Dries invisible
• Non-sticky
• High SPF
• Water-resistant
• Feels like nothing on skin
• Sweat-resistant

CONS

• Made me itch after contact with sweat. I had high hopes for this sunscreen as it’s another one from Biore. It’s light texture is to die for and it almost feels like you’re wearing nothing on! However, after a 5 minute walk from my tita’s office to SM Megamall in sweltering heat. My face suddenly felt ITCHY and had small red visible red spots. I determined that it’s from this sunscreen because as soon as I wash off my face. The itchiness went away too. Hay.

 

Final Thoughts

Like I always say, take my review as a grain of salt. What works for me may not work for you and vice-versa. Will I re-purchase? Sadly no. This is a BOOT and Bye! for me sorry 🙁
