Bioré UV Perfect Bright Face Milk

I've never really put much effort into caring for my skin until today. Normally, I would just make sure it's free from blackheads and whiteheads, properly exfoliated and moisturized. But as my skin age, I noticed how much sunspots I'm getting day by day and it makes me worried. This the first time I'm trying Bioré UV Perfect Bright Face Milk and I have high hopes since it claims to be the number one sunscreen in Japan.

What: Bioré UV Perfect Bright Face Milk
Where to buy: Watsons
Price: P380

Bioré UV Perfect Bright Face Milk claims to "Protect your face from the harsh and harmful UVA and UVB rays with this ultra light yeng long - lasting SPF50+/PA++++ UV block", "ultra light texture", "covers pores and skin dullness" and waterproof and perspiration proof".

Honestly, I didn't really look into this product thoroughly. I was about to pay by the cashier when I saw it. It says "No. 1 sunscreen in brand in Japan". I read the label while waiting in line and bought it when I got there hoping I'm  not paying so much for something I will not like.

​I have tried some skin products with sunscreen and high SPF but nothing seems fit to my liking. Most of the ones I get are too thick and makes my face appear greasy.​ Bioré UV Perfect Bright Face Milk, however, is watery (hence the name "Face Milk") making it easier to apply compared to others. 

Once blended, it feels like it dried and turned to powder. It leaves a sheer finish but enough to cover some sunspots and pores without clogging it. It's also pink in color making my skin look rosy instead of just fair. It's definitely waterproof but I can't seem to notice how long it lasts. Normally, I would wash my face by lunch time to freshen up and reapply.

Will I buy again? Of course. Apart from protecting my skin, it does a better job than BB cream or face powder. Why don't you try it yourself? Believe me, it's worth it.
