“This is my all time favourite and I wear this daily - it feels super light and offers sun protection while feeling like any other essence (if you haven't used an essence, it feels like a more watery type product that absorbs into skin quickly). This one is not super watery so is easy to use and once on your skin, feels like it absorbs within a few seconds. I use this all the time, especially face,” — Sae · hikoco.co.nz

“If you know, you know—the Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Essence is iconic, but finding this massive 2-piece kit with the 120g pouches is like striking gold! I grabbed this set because I go through the standard tiny tubes way too fast, and the value here is insane. Unlike the "Gel" version we talked about, this Essence comes out as a slightly yellowish, lightweight cream that literally bursts into wate” — Cindy293 · Target
