Product Review: Biore UV Bright Perfect Face Milk

Monday, June 01, 2015

     Hi dearies! Sharing with you my thoughts on Biore UV Bright Perfect Face Milk SPF 50+ PA++++ that I've been using for more than a month now. Yes, it's been a month and I'm loving the effect of this Japanese sunscreen on my face and in my photos. I veered away from sunscreen before because I find this skin care product icky sticky. I resort to bb creams and face powders that contains high spf. I've learned that spf from bb creams and face powder is not enough to shield my face from the damaging rays of the sun.

     I've tried a few brands of sunblocks and sunscreen before but after finishing a bottle, I feel like something is still missing. Not the high spf number but the lightweight feel and other added ingredients to boost skin health while giving maximum sun protection. I've known Biore way, way back but haven't tried their sunscreens. Biorè UV is the no.1 sunscreen brand from Japan*, (* Source : Intage SRI research, suntan UV in unit sales, period: 12/2011-11/ 2014) so when I received an email that Biore wanted to send their best-selling sunscreen for me to try, I immediately said yes. I'm happy that Biore UV is already available here in the Philippines. See my thoughts on Biore UV Bright Perfect Face Milk below and why I highly recommend this brand :)

Product Review: Biore UV Bright Perfect Face Milk 

What I like:
  • The scent- it is unscented.
  • The packaging is cute, handy, and travel-friendly.
  • The tube has a nozzle tip that dispenses the right amount of product.
  • A little amount goes a long way.
  • It has SPF 50 + PA+++ which is one of the highest numbers in terms of SPF next to 100. It filters about 98% of UVB (according to popsugar.com)
  • This sunscreen is really water-proof.
  • Biore UV Bright Perfect Face Milk is non-sticky.
  • Applies velvety smooth and absorbs quickly on my face. 
  • It is great as a makeup base too.
  • No allergic reactions, irritations, breakouts, or whatsoever.
  • It doesn't make my skin look and feels oily.
  • There's no ugly white cast on photos.
  • There are batch, manufacturing, and expiry date.
  • It's now easily accessible. No need to go to Japan or to ask a relative or a friend buy this product for you.
  • There's an English translation of product information.

What I don't like:
  • The price can be a bit high for students and budget-conscious individuals but if you'll do the math, it can be cost-effective especially if you use it every day.

Will I repurchase? Yes but not for now because I also have the Biore UV Aqua Rich variant that I'll also be road testing soon.

Recommendation:
     I give this a 4.75/5 rating. Now I know why my friends from Japan highly recommend this brand of sunscreen. Biore UV Bright Perfect Face Milk is lightweight and feels velvety smooth on the face right after application. Always remember this: Do not stay too long in the sun, even while using a sunscreen product. Over-exposure to the sun is a serious health threat. The use of sunscreen is one way to reduce the danger of sun exposure.

What's your favorite sunblock? Thanks for sharing! Have a great day ahead :)

    1. Hi Leny,

      Yes, okay mag face powder. It's not oily at all kasi nagiging matte after application.

  2. Good thing that it is not sticky when you applied it on to your skin. Its really annoying whenever that happens. I also agree that its a bit pricey for us students but hey, i think it will be all worth it naman. :)

  3. When I saw this review, i have in my mind what's the smell and I have read it in likes section. I can relate to u that I also used BB cream for spf50 like msybelline. When I saw the price, I think it is average.

    1. Hi Markay,

      Can pass naman as unscented walang 'sunblock scent' na common sa ibang brands.

  4. I just bought a bottle of Biore UV Perfect Bright Milk. I'm just wondering if it still needs cotton for application cuz it is not thick like my old gel-type and cream-based sunscreen from my dermatologist? Hoping for reply.

    1. Hi,

      Just use your fingers to apply. It will be absorbed easily naman.

  5. is it safe for those who are acne-prone? I've read that since it contains high percentages of alcohol that it might irritate the skin. I just wanted to make sure before buying one for myself.

    thank you for this post! :)

    1. Hi Chelsea,

      Will check on this. There are different variants of Biore sunblock so you might want to check them out on your next visit to Watsons or SM Beauty Stores. My apologies as I'm not aware with other variants din especially para sa acne-prone skin.
