Kanebo ALLIE Extra UV Gel Sunscreen - SPF50+ PA++++ 90g/3.1oz | NEW 2018

Product Information

SHISEIDO Anessa Perfect UV Sunscreen Bubble Spray also takes a while to dry, compared to the other body sunscreen that I prefer, BIORE UV Aqua Rich Watery Gel. I used KOSE Sekkisei White UV Gel while working out and the sunscreen ran as I sweat, leaving white streaks. (This might sound expected of sunscreen as no sunscreen is truly water resistant; but I found one that held up well with my workouts- continue reading to find out which sunscreen stood up to the test!) However, with ALLIE sunscreens, one need not worry and can be sure that one’s skin is wholly protected from these harmful rays. The sunscreens consist of a high UV protection rating SPF of 50+ and a rating of PA ++++, which ensures that you are fully protected from harmful UVA and UVB rays, respectively.

My observation is based on whether my skin warms up after sun exposure. UVB rays are what causes the skin to warm and burn, and I find that some sunscreens prevent that from happening better than others. Dec 2019 UPDATE: Kanebo Allie sunscreen is now available in Malaysia at Watson’s stores and online!In Japan, this is a very popular brand and very highly rated, on par with Shiseido Anessa. Was very thrilled to finally be able to try it after reading about it for years and years! Now, if anyone is headed to Japan, you know what to get me 😛 ALLIE Nuance Change Tone Up UV Gel Sunscreen (Rose Chaire) is another broad spectrum sunscreen from ALLIE. It is very similar to ALLIE Extra UV Gel, but with a pink tone. This range also comes in other colours like apricot and lavender for different skin tones. CosmeticsDesign-Asia​ has previously reported​ that there has yet to be significant scientific proof that sunscreen ingredients were responsible for damaging coral reefs.

How much sunscreen to use each time? I don’t have a problem with it oiling up, pilling or feeling heavy or greasy. It sits nicely under makeup, and importantly, does not make my skin feel warm as the day wears on. YAY for SPF50+ PA++++ Rating Zinc Oxide– A physical filter that protects against UVB + UVA rays, very gentle and non-irritating. Can leave a slight white cast depending on the formula.A pure mineral sunscreen that spreads with a sheer but slightly shiny finish. SUPERGOOP! Mineral Sheer Screen is one of the better pure physical sunscreens that I have tried. No toothpaste feel with SUPERGOOP! Mineral Sheer Screen. Although there is still a white cast with SUPERGOOP! Mineral Sheer Screen (as expected with any pure mineral sunscreen), it is a very light one and is almost unseen if I blend it really well on my skin. Definitely one of the better finishes for with mineral sunscreens. I wanted to be very sure about how I felt about this one. This was because I’d already fallen in love with it while in Japan, and I really really wanted to know if it was as good for me as its first impression was. Methylene Bis-Benzotriazolyl Tetramethylbutylphenol, aka Tinosorb M, the good buddy of our current molecule Tinosorb S

Octinoxate– An elegant chemical filter that protects against UVB rays. Not very stable when used alone but pairing it with Tinosorb S helps tremendously. Well, let’s just say that I’m not actively looking to try the Shiseido one either, because this Kanebo Allie Extra UV Perfect sunscreen has me very happy with it. And yet sad. Antioxidants: Tocopherol, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract *You can learn more about Camellia Sinensis or green tea in Benefits of Topical Green Tea in Skincare.While I appreciate that some schools of thought scoff at the thought of using sunscreen of more than SPF30 rating, I scoff any anything less than SPF50 😛 I’m glad that these 2 sunscreens held up well in this experiment in Guangzhou! Afterall the Purito sunscreen controversy, it’s a relief that my two sunscreen recommendations did well. That said, I would take the results of this experiment with a pinch of salt. This was a very visual but crude way of comparing the effectiveness of different sunscreens. Embrace the sun worry-free, and look radiant as you head out with ALLIE this season (you may even want to give it as a Mother’s Day gift for yourself or for the mamas in your life)!
