LANEIGE RADIAN-C SUN CREAM REVIEW

February 2, 2023

 Assalamualaikum & hello again~


Sunscreen is a staple for my skincare so I am always trying out new sunscreen more often than other skincare products. This time, I got my hands on the Laneige Radian-C Sun Cream. I honestly never thought of trying this product as the price range is a bit too expensive but I got this on sale and it's almost half of the original price so... Why not?




||        LANEIGE RADIAN-C SUN CREAM        

I don't think Laneige is a brand that I need to introduce and literally everyone know about this brand. Even people who don't really pay attention to Korean skincare have heard of this brand as it is sold at Sephora. 



Radian-C is a line of skincare by Laneige that highlights Vitamin C as the main ingredients. Vitamin C  is known to work wonders in brightening up our skin, reduces dark spots and so much more benefits. This line has been introduced back in 2020 and are 3 products in this line which are Radian-C Advanced Effector, Radian-C Cream and Radian-C Sun Cream.

Here are Laneige's claim on the Sun scream:

||        TEXTURE AND HOW TO USE        

This sunscreen has the perfect texture - it's not too watery nor thick. It absorbs well too and does not leave white cast on your skin. For dry skin people like me, this is quite a good sunscreen as it is quite hydrating and does not leave my skin dry afterwards. I love the fact that it comes with SPF 50+ and PA++++, and I have been using this sunscreen for around 2 months and so far I like it. 



no white cast!

This sunscreen, like the other sunscreen, is easy to use. Use it at the final step of your skincare and before your makeup. Oh, don't put on sunscreen on your night-time skincare routine ya! Someone told me that they thought that you need to put on sunscreen before you sleep. NOOOO! You put on night cream before you sleep, not sunblock okayy!


The other day, I forgot to apply sunscreen before makeup and only remember it after I finish putting on my cushion. I kid you not, I really don't feel safe without sunscreen (same feeling like when I put on toner late after washing my face HAHA) and since I was already late for work, I just apply it on top of the cushion I used and thank God it doesn't rub off.



||        MY REVIEW                  

Honestly, the packaging looks chic and minimal and nothing too outstanding. But I love the fact that it comes in a pump tube as it has been so long since I last lay my hands on sunscreen in pump packaging. 



After using this sunscreen for a few months, here are my thoughts:

Pros

✨ Light texture

✨ Quite moisturizing, doesn't leave my skin dry

✨ Easy to apply due to the texture

✨ No white cast

✨ Love that it comes in pump tube

✨ Pumps the perfect amount for each use

✨ Packaging is quite sturdy. The cap does not fall off easily


Cons

🔆 Citrusy scent. It's fades once you applied but it's still quite strong. (It's not a problem for me as I love citrusy scent)


Where to grab?

Price : RM 128.00 each (50ml)

You can get it at Sephora, Shopee, Lazada and Laneige website


🍧 In short, it's a good product but I can get similar if not better ones for the fraction of the price.

🍧 In terms of brightening, I'm not really sure if it really brightens up my skin but pimple scars on my face kinda fades away a little. 


And that's my review on this sunscreen! Anyways, I'd like to keep my review simple and easier to read as I really wanna do lots and lots more reviews! (Please pray for me to be more passionate abt updating my blog hahah!)


Till then, Thanks for reading!
