UV Aqua Rich SPF

Chemical Sunscreen

The Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Essence is a cult-favorite daily sunscreen that offers robust broad-spectrum protection against UVA and UVB rays with SPF50+ and PA++++ ratings. Its unique 'Aqua Micro Capsule' technology ensures a refreshing, watery-gel texture that spreads easily and absorbs quickly into the skin, feeling virtually weightless. It's formulated with hydrating ingredients like Hyaluronic Acid and Royal Jelly Extract to help keep the skin moisturized, preventing the drying sensation often associated with sunscreens. The formula is designed to be resistant to water and sweat, making it suitable for active lifestyles, and it creates an invisible finish that works well under makeup without pilling or leaving a greasy residue. This sunscreen is ideal for those seeking high protection without the heavy feel or white cast of traditional sunscreens.

Oriva Scientific Assessment

This sunscreen works by utilizing a blend of advanced chemical UV filters (Octinoxate, Uvinul T 150, Uvinul A Plus, Tinosorb S) to provide broad-spectrum protection against both UVA and UVB rays. Its 'Aqua Micro Capsule' technology encapsulates the UV filters in a water-based gel, allowing for a lightweight, non-greasy application that leaves no white cast. Hydrating ingredients like Sodium Hyaluronate and Royal Jelly Extract help to counteract any potential drying effects of the alcohol, keeping the skin feeling comfortable and moisturized.

Target User: Individuals looking for a high-protection (SPF50+ PA++++) daily sunscreen with a very light, watery texture. It's particularly suitable for those with normal, combination, or oily skin, or anyone who dislikes the heavy feel or white cast of traditional sunscreens. It's also a great choice for humid climates and for use under makeup.

Avoid If: Those with very sensitive skin, a known allergy or sensitivity to alcohol or fragrance, or individuals prone to fungal acne should consider alternatives. While generally well-tolerated, the alcohol content can be drying for some very dry skin types, and certain ingredients may not be fungal acne safe.
