Currently in Taiwan, as I'm doing this blog entry~ I happen to be carrying the product that was given from the previous entry here. So happy to know I'll receive another retail size when I open my mailbox when back in Singapore :P (Mega thanks!) I love how lightweight the product is and most importantly, it does not leave any sticky feel behind! Another plus point, I do not smell like I went to the swimming pool >_< love the fragrance scent~

Keeps me safe in the hot sunny weather here in Taiwan~ I can go out without worries :P

Love how pretty the bottle is~ 

No matter how sunny it gets, I can ease my mind knowing I am protected from the UV rays~

Survey
A 2010-2014 benchmark Survey commissioned by Kao Singapore revealed a surprising find that only 30% of women between the age 12 to 49 year old use a sunscreen daily. What is even more startling is that this number has remained unchanged for the past 5 years even with the introduction of more sun care products over the past few years. Based on this worrying trend, it is apparent that woman in Singapore do not consider protection against UV damage a priority. This year, Biore aims to change that.

For a start, Biore has introduced its complete range of new and enhanced sunscreen products offering the highest level of UV protection recognised in the industry - SPF50+ and PA++++ rating (previously PA+++). Biore's enhanced UV Series is your perfect shield against skin woes that could b easily prevented, like sun spots, wrinkles and freckles caused by damaging ultraviolet (UV) rays.

Along with this improvement, Biore will launch its newest addition to the range, the Biore UV AQUA Rich Watery Gel, which provides the highest level of UV protection from head to toe! Thank to Biore's unique Aqua Rich technology, it comes in the same light and watery texture of Biore;s popular UV Aqua Rich Watery Essence, loved by women for its cool and refreshing feel upon application.

Do you know?

Prolonged exposure to the sun's UV rays without protection can cause permanent effects such as premature skin ageing, wrinkles & freckles, as well as, various skin damage like discoloration, sallowness, dryness. In extreme cases, they can also lead to skin cancer.

The most damaging UV rays can be classified into different wavelengths, known as UVA and UVB, UVA rays penetrate into the deeper layers of our skin as compared to rays through glass means that even you're seeking shelter indoor, your skin continues to be exposed to its harmful effects which can cause cumulative damage such as wrinkles and skin ageing.

On the other hand, UVB rays cause the most damage to the outer layer of skin such as reddening of skin and sunburns, Without proper protection, prolonged exposure to UVB rays can cause long term damage to skin's epidermal layers.

Industry's highest level of UV protection, keeping you safe from harmful UV damaged!

Sunscreen products are rated based on two rating systems, know as the Skin Protection Factor (SPF), and the PA rating system. The SPF rating determinds the duration of time your skin stay protected against UVB rays from the sun, the calculated method is simple - SPF rating x (no, of minutes for skin to darken under the sun) = No. of minutes skin is protected from UVB rays.

Example
SPF50 x 20 mins = 1000 mins of protection from UVB rays (equivalent to 16 hours of protection)

A sunscreen with the rating of SPF50 is sufficient coverage as it blocks up to 98% of UVB rays from penetrating into skin. Anything higher than s SPF50 rating compromises on its texture of the sunscreen, making it heavier and greasier when applied to the skin.

On the other hand, PA rating is a Japanese rating system that show how much protection you are receiving against UVA rays. The higher the number of plus, the greater the protection against UVA ray. Currently, the highest standard of PA protection in the industry is PA++++.

No more heavy and greasy sunscreens
Results from Kao Singapore's Benchmark Survey also shows that the top reason why women prefer not to apply a sunscreen is the sticky, greasy feeling on the skin that most sunscreens tend to leave behind.

This is where the light, watery texture of Biore's AQUA UV Watery Gel stands out! Similar to the AQUA Rich Watery Essence, it is formulated with Biore's unique AQUA Rich technology to give it a light and watery texture when applied onto skin.
