I recently ran out of my beloved Bior\u00e9 Aqua Rich Watery Essence without time to reorder online, so I had to make do with what I could find at my local shops. I saw this L’Oreal sunscreen pop up at a few, so I thought why not grab it – finding a HG in-store makes things so much easier than needing to reorder online!<\/p>\n

\"l'oreal<\/a><\/div>\n

I paid NZ $16.99 for this at Farmers, which is a couple dollars more\/on par with what I would pay for Bior\u00e9 on eBay depending on the exchange rate. However, the Bior\u00e9 is 50ml while this is only 30ml. Honestly, I was pretty stoked to see this in store! Judging from the packaging and other reviews on it, it was originally available just in the Asian market before launching here.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

The Aqua Essence contains both chemical and physical sunscreens – here is a link<\/a> to the COSDNA analysis! Even though this contains titanium dioxide, I didn’t find that there was a white cast on my skin at all. The only thing I would recommend doing if you wear this on it’s own is to set with a mattifying powder – it’s a little shiny on it’s own. Formula-wise, it looks like a traditional sunscreen, but is definitely lightweight and easy to wear. It’s unfortunately not as lightweight as the Bior\u00e9 Aqua Riche, but it definitely makes a pretty good quick-fix replacement.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

This gets a 3\/5 from me! It’s good as a short term replacement since it’s so easily available, but the formula could use some work.<\/p>\n

What’s your go-to daily sunscreen?<\/p>\n
