Holiday in a bottle!
Hawaiian tropic is my favourite sun product brand. The scent of this after sun lotion is divine... for me it’s holiday in a bottle! It absorbs really well and is very moisturising. Apply after sun exposure to help calm and soothe skin and prolong your tan.

Great smell and amazing work
When you apply the after sun it feels great at the skin. It feels light and it smells great. Perfect to keep you tan a little while longer. It even comes in a 100ml bottle which means you can take it with you in your suitcase on vacation. I definitely recommend this product, I use it every time during every sunny vacation!

disappointing
it takes a lot to blend it out and it leaves those weird white things on my face, which cant be blended out so i have to take a tissue and wipe them off. this never happened with the spf i used before so i dont know what causes it. i apply spf during class so this was definitely a waste of money since it takes too much to blend out and leaves those weird white things, which arent dead skin or anything like that but every review i see is good which confuses me cause no way im the only one this happens to

Good but not great
Korean sunscreens are amazing so my expectations are high when it comes to sunscreen for the face. This one is certainly good, it doesn't leave a white cast and works very well for my dry skin. However, I don't enjoy the scent. It's a tangy scent I've smelled before in skincare. It's not bad, I just don't like it. I always apply the sunscreen to my eyelids and usually never have problems with that, but this one stings a little bit. Again, not badly, but a little uncomfortable. So all in all, I didn't hate using this, but I wouldn't repurchase this.

Geen witte cast
This is one of the two new sunscreens from HaruHaru and I already am on my way to purchase the mineral one, as I've read very good reviews about it. This sunscreen can be put in the same line for me with two others that I adore recently. The structure is super lightweight, absorbs very quickly, it does not leave a sticky residue on your skin and the skin feels slightly dewy. After about an hour it becomes more matte finish on my combination skin and I have shared it with my oily "skined" friends, they say that the finish does not feel sticky at all, so I can recommend it to all skin types. 🔥This sunscreen offers strong UVA and UVB protection with broad spectrum of SPF50+, PA++++ with zero white cast 🔥Hydrating formula infused with the Haruharu WONDER iconic ingredient black rice oil and extract that moisturizes skin and provide antioxidant benefits 🔥Enriched with Ceramide NP, Heartleaf Extract, Adenosine, and Niacinamide to provide extra skin-reliefing, pumping, and brightening benefits. I simply love how it feels on my skin and I'm sure I will be hearing more from my friends about how good this is!

Stable formula
This sensitive skin-friendly sunscreen is packed with ten types of vitamin and hyaluronic acid to nourish and replenish moisture, while offering UVB SPF50+ (52.8) and UVA SPF PA++++ (17.1) sun protection. The antioxidant-rich sunscreen provides skin brightening and soothing effects. It also promises to tone up, brighten and take care of blemishes. Which skin type would be the best for using it? Sensitive, dry and skin irritated by UV rays. My combination skin found it ok! It is tested for blue light blocking and also reduces the amount of UV denerated melanin. So, there are 10 different highly concentrated vitamins that are mixed with HA in a 9:1 ratio to create sun care formula that helps sooth the skin, protect it and also bring hydration. Also improves the dull skin tone. Consistency - the cream is light, a bit runny, toner like feel to it, that does not leave skin greasy or sticky. The promise was not to leave the white cast, it is even in the description. This was not delivered in my case - maybe I'm too dark skined (which i'm not!) or I don't know what, but it really and visibly leaves a white cast on my skin, I can see the difference of the neck and decollette in case I don't put it on there. It is not a big problem for me, of course, because mineral sunscreens also leave the white cast. But I did not expect it from this one. Otherwise, I can recommend this sunscreen to anyone with fair skin. Maybe those with oily skin will find it a bit too much, but dry and combination skin definately liked it! Also it is the first sunscreen I tried with retinol, even if it is a small amount, it is still going to be working. So, not only no can we use retinol in the evenings, here's our new AM retinol routine!

Alright!
Once freshly applied you achieve this flawless makeup look almost like you have applied a high end foundation not a drugstore one, but even after setting with powder the foundation is easily transferable, sticky throughout the day and moves around your face with a single touch, the powder does help but compared to other foundations its not amazing, i recommend this product for short term wear not all day. But on the upper hand it is only £8 i think so it is a really good foundation for that budget and it smells nice too!

My all-time favorite
On my second jar. This stuff is absolutely amazing, it is more like a foundation than a skin-care product but it makes all my redness go away (so much I even can add some blush now) and makes my skin feel really nice and smooth. Very much recommended when dealing with redness, rosacea etc.

Love-hate
Avène Sun Care SPF 50+ Mineral Milk, formulated chemical filter-free, fragrance-free and paraben-free, is specially designed to chemical filters and fragrance-intolerant skins, and all the fragile skin of adults and children- The complex of mineral sunscreen, stable and effective over time, offers the best mineral protection against UVB as well as short and long UVA. - Pre-Tocopheryl, a precursor of vitamin E (powerful anti-oxidant) to protect cells from free radicals. ✨My experience with it had been love-hate. It is one of the only sunscreens that effectively protects my pigmentation from popping out on my face during harsh summer days, it's top notch. But also it leaves such a white cast that i look like a ghost 100% of the time. So I'm using it only on my pigmentation places and other spf everywhere else

Nourishing and leaves no white cast
I was very excited to try this sunscreen because of its rich with goodies and plant based ingredient list. Also because it's great for any skin type and also suitable for acne-prone and sensitive skin. * Centella Asiatica, our favourite ingredient of last year - wounds, acne healing plant with anti-inflammatory properties. It helps with stimulus of hyaluronic acid, hydrates and calms the skin. * Niacinimide - stimulates skin's ceramide's production, heals the skin and in the long run fades pigmentation * Coptis Japonica Root Extract - antioxidant, antiinflammatory working for the skin. * It is also infused with patented 8-Relief Complex which is Thank you Farmer's own developed blend of 8 herbal extracts based on Korean oriental medicine recipe - this makes me particularly excited, as I love all traditional old style medicinal recipes - they work so well! These stars are as follows: Eggplant Fruit Extract, Coptis Japonica Root Extract, Honeysuckle Flower Extract, Angelica Gigas Root Extract, Forsythia Suspensa Fruit Extract, Licorice Root Extract, Cnidium Officinale Root Extract and Gardenia Jasminoides Fruit Extract - quite a company, eh? Packaging: comes in an easy opening up pot with a lid, easy to take with you during your travels, the lid won't let the sunscreen leak even if you have it upside down all the time. Texture: This cream is relatively thin, has a texture that reminds me of a lotion. Application: It doesn't leave a white cast, spreads out easily and leaves skin dewy and moisturised. It's special, because it has lightweight and non greasy formula, the test for non-comedogenic ingredients was completed with flying colors, it is reef friendly which is a huge plus in our environment, when we're actually trying to do some good in the world. And I will repeat again, for me it's a great addition to my sunscreens' family because it works well for acne prone skin and lets the skin breathe well.

I absolutely love this sunscreen!!!
Inkey List is my main skincare, and I recently saw they had a new sunscreen. I tried it out last month, and I really love the texture and the light feel. It leaves my skin glowy and dewy, just like the name implies. Love, love, love... I usually use the trick of 1/2 finger lengths of sunscreen to determine the least amount to out on my face! #BloomIntoTheNewSeason

Rich hydrating spf with no white cast
I have been looking for a sunscreen that is hydrating without feeling oily and sitting on my skin. I really like how rich this cream feels and that it still absorbs after a while. I think it acts perfectly under makeup but on its own also makes the skin look nice and glowy. It’s also not too expensive and I bought it at Etos with a 1+1 offer 🤩

‘Your skin but better’ in a bottle!
+Flattering glow +Low effort +Blends easily +Lightweight -So-so staying power -Very sheer coverage -Might not suit oilier skin types This is THE product I reach for when I’m going for the so called clean girl look. It’s lightweight, blends in like a dream and a little goes a long way for me. It says it’s a moisturizer with SPF, however I use it after my skincare routine and a decent layer of primer (props to Elf Poreless Putty Primer). During hotter days, I feel like I have to set it with some powder however even as a dry skin gal. But it has a gorgeous glow finish, so people with oilier skin might need to take care with this. Do NOT expect for this to cover any hyperpigmentation or pimples, this stuff is SHEER. I haven’t been able to build up any coverage with this product, and I suspect I’ll have to apply a good few layers to achieve that. And that would kind of ruin the purpose of low effort makeup, if you ask me. On days my skin is problematic, I need to go in with some spot concealer to fix those little parts. The staying power is not great, but I honestly don’t really expect this from such a lowkey and sheer product. This does still pill a bit around my nostrils, but that’s something that’s happened with every complexion product I’ve used ever. I avoid applying any product on there directly, blending in a small amount of the neighboring product instead.

Are retinoids a good idea?
This product is a game-changer! Although I was a little reluctant to attempt it at first since retinoids are frequently accused of having adverse effects on the skin (e.g. purging), this is the product that has turned out to be my holy grail. This product is something I added to my nighttime skincare routine as an extra step after toner, hyaluronic acid, and eye cream and before the moisturizer. I saw immediate results from the first couple of days that I was using it and the results continued to improve as the week progressed! One of the most noticeable results was in the texture of my skin and the appearance of my acne scars and fine lines after just one use since I noticed that my skin appeared much plumper and smoother the following morning after my first application. In my opinion, this is one of the products that I would 100% recommend owing to the fact that it is very inexpensive, thus giving you the chance to experiment with it on your skin. Finally, I recommend layering the product in the way I described above, for the most effective results!

Overall good
The color seems off at first. Must work it in on your palms, otherwise it’s kind of hard to spread. Dries matt on the skin, and feels good during the day. Would recommend for oily skin, but works fine on dry skin as well. Would love to try a formula for dry skintypes.

My holy grail of skincare products
Love this product. Have been using it all year round (yes, even in winter) for over 6 years, in combination with my daily hydrating cream. It does not leave the skin shiny and really protects from sunburns, also in the hot days of summer (if you are careful to reapply). #WAEAWARDS2022

Sunscreen
This sunscreen is good, thick and moisturizing, perfect for dry skin. Leaves little white cast on dark skin. I use it every morning before stepping out. I don’t recommend for oily skin type I only recommend to people with dry skin. It comes in a good amount

The best fake tan
The best fake tan I’ve ever used! It has a great coconut smell and goes on so smooth. I use the Bondi Sands tanning mitt and I’ve never got any streaks with this tan like I have with others which is great! It also fades well and I haven’t had an issue with having patches

Holy grail
This sunscreen changed my life! I have oily skin and always struggled with sunscreens for my face as they all left my face white. However, since I discovered Biore’s uv aqua rich watery essence I’ve not looked back, it absorbs into my skin without leaving a white cast and it does not become oily or is noticeable in any way. Would recommend 100% as it is great sun protection and not noticeable at all, I always bring it when I travel. #imgoingonatrip
