Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Essence SPF50+/PA++++ 70ml

Description

The new Biore water-based sunblock introduces an advance micro defense formula, allowing the sunscreen to evenly glides onto the surface and preventing an uneven coating of the product to a micro level gap.

With the reformulation increased to PA++++, the texture remains identical to the old famously loved formula, offering a smooth and light finish without the skin feeling sticky. Its light texture allows the skin to feel moisturized as well as protected all at once. It also works great as a makeup primer.
