| My experience: A miracle bestowed upon my life, seriously. . I'll tell you about my full experience throughout this entire blog entry. |

| Certainly not my best photos, I must admit. Although in my defense, this is when I first got my camera and began to test out the pros and cons. Even with this photo being a bit . . Eh, certainly just far from as good as it could of been. . The quality nonetheless is without flaw, love this camera and by the way this is a no edit photo. |
I was able to purchase mine through eBay for about $10.00 which wasn't too bad for me at all, considering that I was previously using a $36.00 sunscreen from Kiehl's, which I also was fond of but was just running low on and decided to try this product.
I say this throughout my product reviews as a reoccurring warning, beware of products that you're buying from eBay as not all sellers are honest, sending you a fake product of the actual product you were expecting. With my own experience, I generally only buy from people with 100% feedback even if the price is a few dollars more, as I really don't have the will to open up a case with eBay because a seller attempted to send me a fake version.
Personal experience: I have been loving this product since the first day that it arrived in the mail from Japan, I had originally see this product featured through my favorite bloggers in Singapore who couldn't help but rave about this product. Although their post was a sponsored post, this blog entry isn't sponsored and I can wholeheartedly save this has been a saving grace in my day to day life.
I am always, always saying that sunscreen is the most important part of skin care. As of a few weeks ago, I've also started working at a very popular Korean cosmetic store, which I mentioned on my main blog. The job is considerably based on the each individual's sales, as that is practically the goal in any cosmetic retail store workplace. However, for a variety of reasons I don't believe in selling products to customers that won't benefit them in any way, regardless of my sales being low or not. And on that note, my sales aren't low and I'm very honest with my skin care recommendations/product recommendations. Above all else, I always strive to ensure all of the customers are using sunscreen as if their life depends on it, without it the skin will never be able to improve or repair the problem areas.
The bottle has lasted me about four to six months as I was switching off with my Kiehl's sunscreen which I finished a month or two ago, although there's still about half the bottle full since a little really does go a long way.
The product is a watery gel type sunscreen, compared to most sunscreens it's considerably light just light and resembles the consistency of water, hence the name. As compared to a much more thick and dense standard sunscreen that typically leaves an awful white cast, by far that's the biggest reason why I never use to wear sunscreen up until my middle school day. I actually didn't start wearing sunscreen until High School, which was honestly quite fortunate as my skin wouldn't have been able to handle much more damage. I still have a bit of my post acne marks to this day, although with daily use of sunscreen I can't even express how much different my skin is now opposed to the days when I never wore sunscreen.
A shame too since I only got into asian skincare around middle school, although I never ventured into the sunscreens and despised using any American sunscreen because it pore-clogging, left a white residue or overall lead to excess sebum.
Lighter than any other sunscreen I've used to date, as well the finishing effect once it's spread on evenly becomes a very light correction powder finish, making the skin appear and feel fresh as well brighter. Of course, this isn't a replacement for any type of makeup.
The product contains a blend of hyaluronic acid and "Mix Citrus Essence" to help skin retain its moisture and softness.

I would recommend this without a shadow of a doubt, finally a product that has allowed me to comfortably apply sunscreen without any worry. Since I've been using it, I haven't had any problems with clogged pores or any breakouts. And for the record, I do have fairly sensitive skin, I do believe this product is perfect for all skin types although there isn't specific traits that target skin concerns except for a bit of moisturizing and brightening dull skin.
At my workplace, there's a very popular Sebum control sunscreen that I've been wanting to try and review, although I would have to adapt to the texture since it's like I've been using this watery gel base sunscreen for quite some time now.
