Review : Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Mousse and Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Jelly

KAO Malaysia recently launched two new sun protection products in its sun protection range by introducing Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Mousse and Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Jelly, with SPF50+/PA+++ and SPF30/PA+++ respectively, the products offer optimum protection from harmful sun rays while restoring and retaining the skin’s moisture with a cool ‘water-like’ sensation! And both of the products are stated as No 1 Sunblock in Japan based on 2010 data.

And I received them last month for review purposes in this blog to share my readers.

The first item is Biore UV Aqua Rich in Watery Mouse water base that comes with SPH 5o PA+++ and comes in 33g

There is a few benefits being highlight in the sticker. As stated in the sticker, this comes as a cream form and note this is for face only.

It comes in a tube form where one just need to squeeze out the cream to use.

It is stated that it contains Aqua Micro Capsules which release ‘water-like’ moisture, leaving skin feeling light, cool, healthy and hydrated.

Texture : It comes in watery mousse texture, come in white color

Smell : Has has a light pleasant fruity smell

My review : I felt slight cooling sensation when I applied on my face. The light texture cream like mousse type immediately disappeared into my skin without leaving any trace of white cast after I applied evenly on my skin. My skin did not feel sticky or have any allergy reaction at this moment and surprisingly despite it is in cream form it makes me feels quite light on my face and gave semi matte finish. On top of the sunblock, I applied the foundation on top of this and found that indeed this sunblock works quite well as makeup base which make my makeup last longer and not feeling greasy / sticky even after going under the hot sun.

The second product is Biore UV Aqua Rich Water Jelly water based SPH 30 PA+++

Like the above product, the same benefits is stated in this product too , however it is state in this product that this is in gel form and can be used on face and body.

It comes in squeeze tube bottle , consists of 90ml

Texture : Its light gel lotion type comes in light yellow color

Scent :Has stronger citrus smell but disappear after a while

My review : I felt very slight cooling sensation after I applied on my skin. And once I applied, it immediately absorb into my skin without feeling greasy/sticky. In fact I felt as if I do not apply anything at all! And my face do not feel sticky even after I went under the hot sun to go for lunch.

Note : I do not experience any allergy reaction when testing out these two sunblocks for over 2 weeks.

My suggestion

As both items are from the same range and giving same benefits and the only different is the texture, I would recommend these below to help you to make your choice.

If you are one that has oily skin and always apply makeup as your daily routine I would recommend the one that comes in mousse type because it gives semi matte finish and helps your makeup to stay on quite well. As this comes with 50 SPH PA+++ , therefore people who always work in outdoor will benefit from this..

And people with normal skin type and those who do not apply makeup regularly could try the one in water jelly type as this one could be used to apply on your face and body.


Both Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery (whether in Mousse/Watery Jelly) are priced reasonably at RM32.90 each and available now at all leading Guardians. Watsons, Jusco and Sasa.


p/s: Just to share with you girls another of my favorite product from Biore which I could not live without is Biore Cleansing Oil-in-Cotton
