// purchased

biore

• sarasara uv aqua rich watery essence sunscreen [spf 50+/pa+++]
  • i have the 2015 version
  • dries quickly due to alcohol
  • slight scent, lemon/citrus?

cosrx

• aloe soothing sun cream [spf 50+/pa+++]
  • have yet to try
    • heard this is good for dry skin, i'm oily... :"(

innisfree

• eco safety perfect sunblock [spf 50+/pa+++]
  • gives slight white cast so i take more time to rub it in well
• perfect uv protection cream triple care [spf 50+/pa+++]
  • i feel like i like this one better than the eco...
  • has a slight tint(?) so less of a white cast... i think (idr clearly)
• extreme uv protection cream 100 high protection [spf 50+/pa+++]
  • have yet to try
• daily uv protection cream no sebum [spf 35/pa+++]
  • have yet to try

missha

• all-around safe block sebum zero sun [spf 50+/pa+++]
  • doesn't have a safety seal, somewhat disappointed
  • has a white cast, have to rub in well
  • didn't leave my skin feeling heavy or oily
  • so far, so good!!
• flash up sun [spf 50+/pa++++]
  • truly gives you a glow!! makes me look oily so powder over it is
  • i don't see a white cast after applying
  • pretty lightweight!!
