Critics & buyers

The human jury in one chapter — what the video reviewers score and say, the reviews behind it, and how Google buyers rate them.

What reviewers say

Distilled from the video reviewers — the score, what they praise, where they push back.?

Reviewers praise
  • Blends into skin with minimal white cast despite being a mineral formula, especially on fair to medium skin tones
  • Applies smoothly with a silky texture that spreads easily compared to typical mineral sunscreens
  • Works well as a makeup primer with a soft matte finish that helps foundation adhere
Reviewers push back
  • SPF 30 rating is too low for prolonged outdoor exposure or reliable daily protection
  • Not water resistant, which limits effectiveness in humid conditions or when sweating
  • Small bottle size runs out quickly with proper application amounts
Reviewers agree this mineral sunscreen applies smoothly and blends well with minimal white cast, but the SPF 30 rating feels inadequate for extended outdoor use and the small bottle empties quickly.
— best for: Best for people with normal to oily skin seeking a lightweight mineral sunscreen for routine indoor days with incidental sun exposure who want something that doubles as a primer.
UV Aqua Rich Watery Essence SPF 50
4.0/5
divided
Reviewers praise
  • Lightweight gel texture spreads easily and absorbs quickly
  • Works well under makeup without pilling or bunching
  • No white cast on all skin tones
Reviewers push back
  • Strong alcohol scent on application, though it fades
  • Contains fragrance that may bother sensitive skin
  • Alcohol high on ingredient list can be drying for some
Reviewers agree this lightweight Japanese gel sunscreen spreads easily and wears well under makeup, though its alcohol content and fragrance divide those with sensitive skin.
— best for: Best for oily to combination skin seeking an invisible daily face sunscreen that layers well under makeup.

I cannot sing the praises of this product enough. Silky, completely non-greasy (rinses clean with water), matte, skin-loving ingredients, lovely sheer coverage that stays on the skin and looks natural...why hasn't this gone viral? I'd take this over Supergoop in a heartbeat any day. I've been using this for almost a decade (and have very youthful skin to support its efficacy) and every single time GrrAce · paulaschoice.com
