- I'm reviewing some cult products available on Stylevana today that I've been meaning to try for ages! This video is sponsored by Stylevana, but as always, these are my honest opinions of the products. Note: Sunscreens aren't approved in US/EU/UK/AU, but are approved in their respective countries (JP/KR).

"...and Asian. I don't know why that's in my intro, but I'm committed"
"I was driving while crying out of one eye. So don't do that"
"I'm kind of buff, so that's why I can't reach my back"
"It didn't sting my eyes, as long as I didn't rub it into my open eyes"
This is slowly turning into a comedy channel and *I am here for it*
Omg when Michelle said ‘I’m kind of buff and thats why I cant reach my back’ 😂 just reaffirms my love for her and this channel 💕
Can you explain what she meant for someone who does not watch her videos regularly? Does she lift?
😅❤️
@@dianas2585 I do pole so I have pretty big lats!
Michelle, I think the Skin Aqua one had a "controversy" in 2019 due to a person trying the sunscreen and using a UV camera to see that the application was "splotchy" or "uneven." I think it's on reddit. What do you think about this?
@@LabMuffinBeautyScience respect!
The Rohto Mentholatum Melano CC has completely changed my skin. I have used it for about 2 years, and the tube lasts for me approximately 8 months with daily use, and even on the last drop, there is zero signs of oxidization.
This vitamin C treatment has faded every trace of post acne marks, and discoloration from the sun. I will never be without it.
I don't understand why anyone pays a premium for unstable vitamin C products when this product is SO affordable and SO effective.
Genevieve, Is this a makeup with skincare benefits or a clear skincare product. It seems like it would be perfect to help in fading sun damage. Is it a spot treatment or all over application. Also would you mind mentioning whether you have dry, oily, or combination skin. You look very young and I am retired but it might help me.
@@kathleenem9207 I am 40 years old and I have normal skin, leaning slightly towards oily territory in the humid summer months, and slightly towards dry in the winter, but relatively somewhere in the middle. I am acne prone and somewhat reactive. I had dark spots from acne, freckles, and hyperpigmentation from sun exposure and I credit this product for changing my skin, I have been using it for years, but I noticed incredible change before finishing my first tube. My sister uses it too, she's got dry skin and rosacea.
I treat this as a skin care product. I wear it under makeup too, but I don't think it does anything to make my makeup last longer, it doesn't function as a skincare/primer hybrid for me. I apply it all over the face, and even doing that, a tube lasts several months because it is so easily spreadable. I think you could use it as just a spot treatment, or a small area treatment if you wanted to because the applicator tip is so small, you don't have a large dropper applicator to fiddle with.
I have tried many vitamin C products over the years and have been displeased with most of them - they are either gritty, too oily, too irritating, or they are not cost effective because they go bad too quickly, or they are just plain ineffective.
This serum is highly effective, not a derivative. Also contains vitamin E, which works well with vitamin C as an antioxidant too. The carrier fluid itself is very light, absorbs easily into my skin, doesn't leave a heavy greasy layer, and doesn't break me out. I also don't find the formula to be sensitizing even though it uses ascorbic acid - I even used it to eliminate a spot of pigmentation on my eyelid and has zero issues with irritation. I use it in the morning, before moisturizer or SPF.
This is also a water free formula, it is stable to the last drop - there is zero oxidization.
I use tretinoin at nighttime now, but I credit the Melano CC for erasing all my dark spots and pigmentation before I even started Retinol.
And to top it off, this product is very affordable. Especially given the effectiveness. I'd never ever even bother using another vitamin C product - this one is perfection! You must try it! I think anyone would love this product! I sing it's praises because I seriously LOVE it.
Sorry for this long drawn out response to your question, I just really think this is an incredible product that everyone should try!
@@genevieveve Thank you so much for all the information and taking the time to actually write back to me. I certainly appreciate your time and effort. I doubt whether I could have gotten this much information from a professional. I will be using the cream to treat hyperpigmentation and sun damage. Your back story gives me context and I have just ordered the product. I’m sure your response will help many people besides me. Thank you again. Kathleen in NJ
@@genevieveve this was awesome. Thank you for all this info! I think I’m purchasing this next over paulas choice. 👍
Oh gosh I saw the packaging and price point of this product and wanted to like it so bad! I'm so jealous (unfortunately it broke me out)

Thank you!
Thank you sis!
We are so blessed that Michelle is both extremely knowledgeable AND a complete riot
I really appreciate that you actually try things for a stretch of time before you review them, one of the reasons I see you referred to as the most trusted skincare RUclipsr ♥️
‘ I saw that it didn’t irritate my eyes as long as I didn’t rub it into my eyes ‘ LMAO
I've had sunscreens irritate my eye even when I was avoiding them (like the Skin Aqua... grrr) 😅
"but I'm also kind of buff so it's hard to reach my back." LOL. Michele doing the humble brag! That one caught me off guard :D
I absolutely LOVE the biore watery rich essence! So happy to hear it is water resistant. I did not originally know that. I also have dry eczema prone skin but the alcohol did not bother my skin at all.
The newer formulation has ruined my skin breaking me out in sever cystic acne and caused acne and burns on lots of other customers except those reviews have been paid to be hidden.
@@Anonymous-od4kl you have literally devoted your life into spamming the same comment stop
the same with me! i've been using it for YEARS through all the different reformulations, and the alcohol has never bothered me - i found the newest 2019 reformulation to be the most hydrating of them all actually
@@sweetsycandy I can't say much about the older versions because I've never tried them because I lived in the world of hating Western sunscreens that gave me a horrible white cast back then. But the 2019 versions is amazing and I'm glad there was no scandal with it and I could completely trust it
@@Shana113 I've been using Biore since high school and it's been my go-to sunscreen for over 5 years. Biore is a Japanese brand, not Western, and I also went through a hating Western sunscreen phase b/c of how thick and sticky they were. As a super oily person, thick sunscreens were the bane of my existence 😅
Tbh I've been testing out some Western sunscreens these past 2 years and although Western sunscreens and skincare have gotten A LOT better these days, I still end up coming back to my trusted Biore sunscreens. I recently stopped by a Japanese shop and picked up 3 bottles of the Biore since summer is coming and Biore sunscreens always get sold out quickly.
Michelle you gotta drop the workout routine, we want to be buff too!
Pole classes for 10+ years 😉
Whoa didn't see that one coming!
@@LabMuffinBeautyScience wow that's amazing😳
@@LabMuffinBeautyScience Nuoooo 😍! I so want to know which studio you go to in Sydney but I won't ask. Yay from a fellow poler
As a daily makeup user Anessa perfect uv milk is truly the winner! It gives that blurring effect similar to silicone primers. For my complexion i can still manage to look okay with just a lil bit of the whitecast. I was also beyond excited when they collabed with Pokemon for this product! Cant wait to receive them!!
Eh ada ka lip
The ânessa sunscreen is godly, it leaves such a pretty matte finish. It’s Pretty on its own, even for guys who don’t wear makeups, it gives a blurry effects on the skin. It’s also perfect as a primer.
Does the Anessa leave a white cast at all?
@@rye4881 It doesnt
Does it have fragrance?
@@Sherrera09 Yes it does
@@lulajuliette really? I don’t think I notice any, but if there’s any it’s super light. You won’t notice it
So I came back here just to say THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Based on your recommendation, I've been using the Rohto Melano CC Concentration for 2 and half months and it's completely changed my skin! I usually get dark spots from the smallest of blemishes and if I do get them now, they don't linger for very long. My skin has become move even in tone and texture as well.
I'm so so thankful for this and I hope the universe rewards your for the good work you do!
Yay that’s so good to hear!
Stylevanna is my total go-to for my Korean skincare products that I review. I live in 🇨🇦 & have never had issue with my ordering (whispers softly... and I place a lot of orders 🙃) ❣️ thx for another great video!
I've found the exact opposite. I've ordered from them twice and each time, it has been absolutely awful and the customer service has been shocking. So I just don't get my staples from there, I only use their website when I want to try something new that I can wait to receive
My life literally CHANGED when I found the SkinAqua sunscreen. It’s not only the BEST sunscreen I’ve ever used, but I think it’s formulation has overall improved my skin in small ways.
I want to try but am scared at the alcohol content, my skin is suuper dry
@@ube4856 my skin is very dry and I use this sunscreen it doesn’t dry out my skin at all! Leaves a very dewy finish too
I live in Singapore and have tried most of the Asian sunscreens. The new Biore is nice and light for days when it is too hot even for the silicones in the Annessa. I still love it though and always wear it for swimming and outside walks. It’s pretty much perfect. Love the way it makes your skin look better.
I am a huge fan of the Bioré sunscreen. The alcohol doesn’t bother my skin either and the texture feels lovely even when you reapply on a hot summers day.
My bioré watery essence is a bit yellow, is it normal?
@@windskm yeah that’s normal, mine is a bit yellow too although it was the older formula.
I'm surprised you say the biore sunscreen has a floral scent. My version smells like straight up rubbing alcohol😅
I think my smell receptors are a bit desensitised to alcohol after 2020... Skin Aqua still hits though!
I used to think it smelled slightly floral (I used it for 5 years) but after I went alcohol-free in 2020, now when I smell the Biore I'm like WHOA HOLY ALCOHOL MOLY
The newer formulation has ruined my skin breaking me out in sever cystic acne and caused acne and burns on lots of other customers except
those reviews have been paid to be hidden.
@@okashi10 🤣 What have you been using now?
@@arvi8843 Right now, I'm using Skin Aqua UV Moisture Milk (a hybrid sunscreen) or Axis-Y No Stress Physical Sunscreen.
(BTW I have super oily, but dehydrated skin)
I love Japanese beauty products! I used to live in Japan and that's how I got into it many years ago, and then discovered K-Beauty only recently in the past year. I find Asian Beauty much better than western brands, although Japanese ones tend to be pricey compared to Korean brands in general
Stylevana needs all these influencers to get them customers because the actual customer reviews are wiiiiild.
I'm almost out of my tube of Melano CC, still completely clear after almost 6 months. Thanks for the discount code for my next tube!
Michelle is slowly becoming my favorite youtuber. She's not only super smart but very funny too. :)
Mine too.
She cracks me up.
It's the way she says the most ridiculous things, with a deadpan face LOL
It’s been 2 weeks since I started Rohto Melano CC and Anessa Perfect UV, both easy to apply (3 layers of Anessa 😆 in my combination skin).
Just love this channel! 🥰
Hahahahaha! "idk why Asian is in my intro...but I'm committed!" So cute!!
I’ve been raving about Rohto Melano CC and Skin Aqua for so long...
It's kinda frustrating that most sunscreens come in small bottles.. esp when it's meant to be used throughout the day!
I’ve been using that Anessa SPF and I love it even more now that it’s Lab Muffin approved! 🙌🏻
I really appreciate that you always mention whether they irritate your eyes! I'm sooo sensitive and don't need to spend half the day being asked what's wrong because my eyes won't stop watering! 😂
“and ... Asian”
lmao
I must admit, I have the Rohto Melano Vit C for almost 2 years and it's still clear and effective as on day one.
I've been wanting to try it since I live in Japan now and have easy access to it, but this makes me wonder how much Vit C is really in there if it can stay clear and stable for that long. Thanks for sharing that!
@@denisea.9033 Probably about 5% of Vit C.. it stays stable so long because the packaging is completely opaque, airless, and protects from heat.. I think
@@denisea.9033 Yeah, the stability is all about the packaging. It's my most favorite Vit C on the market cuz it's the most effective for dark spots after acne I've found. Some mix it with moisturizer.
Thanks for your responses reva & Nina. I do have some post acne hyperpigmentation marks so I think I'll give it a try, though it doesn't seem to have too much Vit C in it. Maybe that will make it easier on my sensitive skin.
Same here.. Mine also have been opened for almost 2 years, yes it's still clear and effective as on day one. The best vit C serum stability i ever had, and it works amazingly compares to the others.
Your hair looks SO good! It was totally worth it!!
Ohmygod this video contains everything that I've been looking for. Good sunscreen recommendations and what lipstick are you wearing 😆😆😆

Thank you for the reviews! There is now a new Melano CC Premium Brightening Essence with different ingredients. More expensive, but supposed to last 5-6 months using every day.
Hi Michelle, would you consider doing a video on peptides? Best concentration levels, types, benefits etc.? Love you and all of your videos!
My favourite Anessa sunscreens are Whitening UV Gel AA SPF 50+ and Perfect UV Skincare Milk A SPF 50+. They have reformulated the Perfect UV Mild to a 2021 version ; Perfect UV Mild Milk N, with Shiseido's new "Smooth Protect Technology". Can't wait to try it when it's available for purchase from/in Malaysia. I agree that the 2020 Mild version was quite whitecastey and never truly set. But honestly, in terms of performance, nothing beats the Anessa Perfect UV Milk. Korean VS Japanese sunscreens? I don't think Korean sunscreens even had a chance.
The Biore Aqua Watery Essense is the one for me. The first time I tried it, I was taking my kids to float the river (2 and a half hours on reflective water). My kids applied physical sunscreen 3 times during the trip and all ended up burnt or slightly burnt. I applied Biore Aqua once and didn't even get a tan.
The skin aqua is my daily sunscreen, so good and great value
Your videos are always excellent! You’re highly-educated and articulate, yet have the ability to dumb everything down so most everyone can understand. Yore also REALLY good at giving just enough information. Your videos are super valuable!
I really like the Anessa Perfect UV.
I'd also love a video about la Roche posay products - especially their sunscreens but also things like their effeclar serum and toleraine ultra fluid moisturizer!
I love the anessa sunscreen. I live in japan so I have easy access to it but it is quite expensive. But since it doesn't leave a cast on my skin and it just feels good, it will always be my go- to. I also have the melano CC and haven't used it in a few weeks because I wasn't sure if it would work for me . I will actually try using it consistently for a month and see what I get. Thanks for this much needed review!
I just bought the melano CC from Stylevana and despite trying to read and watch a lot about it and it’s effectiveness, I was still so glad to see Michelle finally review this, and am now even more excited to try it !
Hey did you try that? And which version of it you tried?
The CC essence cleared up a horrible patch of resistant acne and inflammation on my cheek. Came across it purely by chance on holiday. It also got rid of the purple discolouration patch of the acne too.
Hi there I’m trying to buy it and use for the first. There’s a premium version of it. What’s the difference?
@@dan0115 I've never heard of the premium one! Perhaps it's just a marketing description and is the same thing? I did notice they had two versions of face mask; basic and not basic. The not basic (premium?) had added olive oil in it. I have not tried the range with added Olive Oil. My tube was just called 'Melano CC essence'. It came in a narrow box, in a metal squeezable tube with yellow lid and fancy nozzle as she demonstrated in the video. Be careful not to buy the 'Brightening Cream'. The box looks nearly identical but it's a different product entirely.
Can you review Black Girl Sunscreen Kids please?....I'm a black women
and use it everyday because I couldn't find a mineral one that agreed
with my skin or didn't turned white.
The first product contains Ascorbyl palmitate, a recent studied showed that it intensifies skin damage with UVB exposure! (Lipid peroxidation and cytotoxicity)
such a great video! i’ve been wondering about these 🤔🤔🤔
I saw the biore sunscreen in the picture and I just bought it. I haven’t tried it yet so I’m hoping it’s good 😭
Edit:
I came here to make sure the sunscreen was good and ended up buying the body cleanser, lip tints, and more sunscreen
Lol, I totally relate. Enjoy your orders!
The newer formulation has ruined my skin breaking me out in sever cystic acne and caused acne and burns on lots of other customers except those reviews have been paid to be hidden.
@@Anonymous-od4kl where did you buy it from? there is a big problem with scammers making fake versions of this product
Im new to this channel so since i love your content i most likely will binge watch this til i watched EVERYTHIIIING. Yaaay 💕 so excited ❤️
I love the Melano CC. The packaging is such a great design. The Skin Aqua series used to be my favorite sunscreen series. Unfortunately I developed allergies towards methylene bis-benzotriazolyl tetramethylbutylphenol and ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate (and got some cross reaction with some other sunscreen agents), so can not use it any more. If you can use sunscreens with organic uv filters it is gold though.
Omgosh!!!! Thank you for sharing Stylevana 🥳🥳🤗🤗🤗
Thank you so much. I just heard about the Biore sunscreen and couldn’t find any recent reviews. I’m always on the hunt for that perfect facial sunscreen.
The newer formulation has ruined my skin breaking me out in sever cystic acne and caused acne and burns on lots of other customers except those reviews have been paid to be hidden.
I love Korean skin care and sun screen, there are so many choices and they usually suit my skin. Love em. BTW, your makeup looks great! You wear colours I love. Great lip tints too.
I’m so excited to hear about the Some by mi body wash! I use the toner and cream from that line and love it and think the body wash would be really beneficial for me.
That lip colour really suits you! It’s so pretty 🤩
Wow it’s like you read my mind; I’ve been wanting to try the anessa and the Bioderma screens next (trying to replace my beloved discontinued Skin Aqua Sarafit 😭). Which holy shit I just discovered Stylevana also still sells, so I’m definitely getting a couple of those too! Dude 🙏🏻 you’re an angel.
I agree that Stylvana is a great way to shop. Thanks for highlighting these items and congratulations on your sponsorship!
Im obsessed with that bioré sunscreen
A much needed video. As being a jbeauty fan for so long my heart is 🥰🥰🥰. Love you
Omg an Australian skincare RUclipsr - instantly subscribed!!!
Thank you so much for this video! I needed SPF recommendations suited for our climate. I am in Brissy, so you can imagine the humidity!
Loved this !!!! So excited to see you check out other hyped asian skincare :)
I’m genuinely sad my Melano CC is getting over. It was absolutely gorgeous. Helped my stress-induced acne a lot. I can’t wait my hands on it again! I have peri oral dermatitis and extreme dry skin and it didn’t trouble me at all.
Ok, now I'm super interested in trying the Rohto Melano CC. Also I recently got the Anessa mild milk instead of the normal one and I really hope it works just as well. The original Anessa is my favorite sunscreen of all time.
Hi Michelle! Really wanted you to know that Stylevana website is highly unprofessional and has probably one of the worst customer service team I have ever had to deal with. Everyone who has placed an order in the EU is having horrible experience with them now. I live in Hungary and my friends in Poland and Slovakia have the same problems. They are sending the European orders to the UK and now (because of Brexit) people have to pay a tax and handling fees for no reason!!! It is a nightmare.
Please consider this information if you continue any collaboration with them. I just don't want people to be misinformed and mistreated like I am right now.
Thank god I saw this comment, I was about to order from them and I'm in the EU.
Had the same problem of conditioner causing back acne. Flipping my hair over my head and washing my hair that way completely got rid of it.
I’m so glad I found another fellow Asian! 😭😊 I really like the products you recommended!! I’m gonna try try them after I finish my Klairs skin care products ☺️
I want a review for apieu and canmake blushes too🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
Half expect to see peach and lily because I think they are the most hyped k beauty brand in the USA
Michelle, how did you get that hair color??? It looks so great with roots or barley age, sort of glowy somehow.
Thank you! I got it bleached to white (I omky did one round of bleach this time), asked for a blended root close to the scalp, and now I wash with a DIY purple conditioner (about 1:1 purple hair dye and conditioner). It's pretty low maintenance but the purple does often end up patchy if I'm not careful!
LOL "I'm kind of buff" - I see u hehe
The Japanese KAO sunscreens I always have a good experience with. Most are water resistant and hold up really well in outdoor environments. Highly recommend as long as you are not sensitive to alcohol.
I also been using melano cc since 2018 and I LOVE IT. Thank you for telling people about this product. :)
I do environmental restoration work so I'm always working outside and always get dirty!! I definitely want something light, but also good with sweat and dirt....
Michelle you look gorgeous and glowy! I enjoyed this video so much, thanks for all the info
Have combo skin with dryer cheeks and the anessa pills like crazy on my cheeks as i rub it on :(
i love the romand lip products especially figfig. i have the zero velvet tint and what i like it that it sticks to the inner part of my lip so you don't have this separation between your lip and gums. i apply a little to the middle/inner parts of my lips and smudge it out to the rest of my lips and then i like to add the juicy lasting tint over it.
This video 😤😤😤 ... I spent all night last night ... Shopping! 🤣 love the website, products, prices and the discount code 😍🥰 ❤️
Can confirm the Melano CC takes ages to oxidise in that packaging. And it sinks in nicely, never felt irritating and has a pleasant enough lemon scent.
Unfortunately it didn't have any pigmentation fading effects for me but that might be a personal thing. I've yet to find a vitamin C serum that actually does that for me.
I'm not sure where you get a floral scent from the Biore sunscreen though lol
It's like rubbing hand sanitizer on your face, a massively overpowering cloud of alcohol for a few seconds until it's starting to evaporate.
Same for the Skin Aqua gel. For me it didn't sting in the eye area though beyond that first alcohol note. It definitely is a little drying for me however. But I also live in Germany, our winters are harsher than Australia. If I lived in a warmer, more humid climate or had really oily skin I could probably use it year round.
If you haven't tried it already give the Skin Aqua super moisture milk a go. I love that one because it has no alcohol and while it feels really oily while applying it dries down into a nice satin smooth finish.
I also feel you on the back acne. My hair is really long so I also live the heavy conditioner life. Washing with one of those long scrubby towels and body wash after my hair is rinsed and out of the way helped me immensely but that body wash sure sounds intriguing.
I was so disappointed in both the Anessa UV Gel and the Biore UV Essence. The cast on the Anessa gel is ghastly, and it sucks every ounce of moisture from my skin. The Biore Essence is maaaad glossy - no amount of powder can mattify - it’s greasy, and it pills so badly. :(
Totally true!
Haven't tried the Anessa one but if you find the Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Essence too glossy, then try the Biore Athlizm Essence instead. It dryes down to a very natural finish, not fully matte and not glowy, it just leaves the skin moisturised without a lot of glow.
Interedting. the anessa is so moisturizing for me and does not leave a white cast and I haven’t tried the Biore UV essence but I also use their Athlizm SPF and it’s more matte but v light and resistant
Personally I really like the 2015 look,I think it looks beautiful on people with bigger lips.
Loved every part. Thanks Michelle
I went from only Nivea to Japanse and Korean skincare, best thing ever! Wouldn't even try the other european stuff.
I found Stylevana about 6 months ago and find them heaps better and even cheaper than Yesstyle.
Stylevana does not ship to my country Finland at all, while Yesstyle and Jolse do...Yesstyle is by far the best site to purchase for me because they have the customs fee refund system and their shipping (6€) is the most affordable below the free shipping limit (100€)...Jolse's shipping is much higher with 18 USD and their free shipping limit is very high..150 something if I remember correctly. Of course for other countries these prices are better but unfortunately these K beauty sites have quite poor shipping to the northern edge of Europe🙁 I've checked also other online retailers like roseroseshop but their shipping is even more expensive.
dropped everything to watch this ♥️
I love Rom&nd! I'm caucasian af so I'm not really sure what tone would work on my skin, #08 rose stream is lovely anyway, and I love that it isn't sticky. The Biore sunscreen (2017 formula) sadly broke me out. I haven't tried the Melano CC but I'm more interested now than I was before, for sure. Thanks for the video ❤️
Thanks for your thorough review!! I love a good deep dive.
Glad it was helpful!
The biore sunscreen burns my eyes like no other 🥺 Japanese sunscreen is my favorite, however the current trend in Asia for “tone up” products has seen an increase in sunscreens with intentional (and intense) white cast. Skin Aqua with the pump is my favorite for body application, and I like Anessa for face! Canmake’s Mermaid Skin (or something like that) is also really nice! Super cheap and no alcohol. RMK is a Japanese makeup brand and apparently their sunscreen is quite good and something I’m eyeing to try this year.
Michelle did you see that company has terrible customer service reviews. What do you think about that?
Yes the SkinAqua stings my eyes too if I apply too close.
But it WORKS! We went to the zoo yest in bright, sunny, scorching weather n I didn’t have any colour change or burning. Granted, I applied a shit-ton and reapplied every 2hours. My fav active sunscreen.
The Skin Aqua Moisture Milk (blue bottle) doesn't sting my eyes like the Gel pump does!
@@okashi10 the blue bottle contains silicones (if I’m not wrong) and I reacted badly to that version.
@@Adeline79100 Oh no! I'm so sorry to hear that. They're constantly reformulating (I use the 2020 version) but it still contains dimethicone. Works great for my super oily skin but I can see how it can be bad for people who are sensitive to that ingredient.
Off to check out the website and of course order something. Thanks Michelle.
Just tried the new 2022 Anessa. Crazy white cast and pilling. I applied the required 1/4 teaspoon to my face. Not sure how this sunscreen is so popular.
Ohh the cult fave Biore has Uvinul A plus.. and it's fomulation change frequently? haha I should have not thrown out the box then. I have no idea if this has the latest ingredients
*I just used google translate camera, mine contains octinoxate, tinosorb S and uvinul A plus.. oooh. the octinoxate helps these two UV filters to reach the SPF 50 perhaps. I wonder this is what Purito and Klairs will do with their sunscreen to keep the texture nice and the protection photstable
I actually loved the Some By Mi miracle toner for my back and chest acne: it was super gentle and quite effective.
For sunscreen, I love Shiseido Senka Anti aging suncreen and Canmake sunscreen. Still, they are both Japanese products. And Japanese brands are my first go to for sunscreen
this was great. more content like this please. i need to try the body wash!
I didn't know Anessa had so many versions I saw one of your reviews a while ago. It is not very accessible price wise.
It has so many formula and colors sometimes it’s only slightly different. That’s why I never used it. It’s so confusing
If you want an affordable dupe, try the Skin Aqua UV Moisture Milk! (Blue bottle) It has the same light milk texture and natural finish. It's water resistant and has hybrid chemical/physical filters. (But not as many as the Anessa.) I've really been liking it on my oily-dehydrated skin!
Thank sweetie, I love, love watching your videos 🤗.
I tried the SOME BY MI - AHA-BHA-PHA 30days Miracle kit (Toner + serum + moisturizer), and sadly, even though nearly everyone praise them, it made me break out sooo much, and the serum has a really greasy and gross finish.
That proved me how subjective skincare is (and so now I don't really know what to buy ahaha)
Try out the Belo Sunscreen from the Philippines. The spray on one is a really nice chemical sunscreen and has zero white cast. When applied to the body it also gives a really nice sheen.
I love the scent of the biore sunscreen tho hehe, it's hydrating enough for my skin that i even skip moisturizer 😊 i have acne prone and oily skin
