Assalamualaikum semua!

Aaand, I'm back with another skincare review. 

Guess who wrote this post 3 weeks ago but havent post it because she cant seem to make time to take pictures of the product? me. hahaha!

I have been using Yadah sunscreen for so long and I freaking love it because it hydrates and smells fresh. But I have been thinking to switch to another brand since my favorite Yadah sunscreen only comes with SPF 35 PA++ only. I tried Yadah Oh My Sun Slush SPF50+ PA+++ but i kinda hate the texture and the scent so I know I have to try sunscreen from another brand.

||     COSRX ALOE SOOTHING SUN CREAM               

I have a few sunscreens added to cart but i decided to buy Cosrx because I tried their toner and serum and they works great! 

COSRX is a Korean skincare brand that specializes in maintaining effective products using minimal ingredients. Not only the ingredients are minimal, I also love their product's packaging as it really looks minimal but kinda give you that "this skincare must be effective" kinda vibe haha.

I read somewhere on the internet that the high SPF is not as important as how often you re-apply sunscreen. But I really want to give sunscreen with SPF50+ PA+++ a try! I talked about sunscreen HERE and feel free to read it as I explain the types of Sunscreen and many more! 

This sunscreen is a Hybrid Sunscreen so you have to wait at least 15minutes before going out after applying this sunscreen. The key ingredient is of course Aloe Vera which is known for its moisturizing and soothing effects, which sounds really great as our skin needs some soothing ingredients as the sun is burning hot.

I am actually very upset as I can't find the exact price of this sunscreen online. There are many places where you can grab this, but lemme tell you the price list I found online and these are all normal price, bukan sale price okay (Price for 50ml tub):
    1. Hermo : RM70 (they usually play with the price tag, original price too high then sale bnyak % so         jadi murah padahal lebih kurang dengan yang lain. lol.)

    2. Watsons Online : RM56

    3. COSRX Malaysia Shopee : RM65

||     WHAT IT CLAIMS               

||     FIRST IMPRESSIONS               

My first impression is not that "whoa" as COSRX packaging is neat but there's literally nothing exciting or suprising when unboxing it. Maybe I need to buy sunscreen that is packed with rare packaging kot hahah. Here are my first Impressions of this sunscreen:

    1. Huge size but worth the price if bought during sale

    2. Nice Packaging

    3. Does not spill easily

    4. Don't have to spin the cap to open it. (Easy to use)

    5. Smells like....Brylcreem. iye, minyak rambut lelaki tu. TT~TT Apooooo

||     TEXTURE AND HOW TO USE               

This sunscreen is a little bit thicker than my previous Yadah Sunscreen and since my skin is a dry type, the fact that this sunscreen contains Aloe really helps misturizing my skin. Here's what i think:

🌞 Texture: Quite thick but not annoying.

🌞 Color : White, but does not leave white cast when applied on skin

🌞 Scent: Honestly, it smells like Brylcreem and I hate that TT.TT

🌞 Time needed: Since this is a hybrid sunscreen, you need to wait at least 15 minutes before going under the sun

🌞 Packaging : Plastic tub

no white cast

Just like any other sunscreen, you need to use this at the end of your day skincare routine (yup, nak tidur takpayah la pakai okay), before appling makeup:

    1. After cleansing, apply your skincare as usual (toner, emulsion, serum, etc)

    2. When done, apply sunscreen. 

    3. Apply your desired makeup. Done. 

||     MY REVIEWS              

Here you go!

Pros:

🌞 Thick texture but does not feel thick after applying

🌞 Absorbs well

🌞 Soothing and calming

🌞 Moisturizing, I can skip emulsion but my skin is still ok and not flakey

🌞 Texture quite thick

🌞 No white cast

🌞 Easy to open the cap as I don't have to take the whole thing off

🌞 Huge tub of 50ml, lasts quite long

🌞 Skin looks healthy 

🌞 Sometimes I skip makeup and just go out with this sunscreen as my final step. works great

Cons:

🌚 I hate, hate, hate the scent. It smells like brylcreem TT~TT even my husband agrees!

Will I re-purchase?

No, solely because of the scent... It's really upsetting because I love the functions and texture and everything else except the smell TT~TT

Will I recommend this to my friends?

If they don't mind about the scent, then why not.  

Till Then,

Thank you for reading this post!
