Kose sekkisei sun protector

claims :

Kose Medicated Sekkisei Sun Protector SPF50+/PA +++ gently envelopes your skin and saves your skin from the scorching sun.

This is mainly a physical + chemical sun block .Zinc oxide is the main ingredient for physical sun block .Zinc oxide is always a better sun protection ingredient in compared with the others due to the level of protection it provided as well as it is photo stable. Ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate and cetyl ethylhexanoate are the ingredients for chemical sun block. There are plenty of antioxidants (ascorbyl glucoside,tocopherol and the plant extracts ) in this sun block to fight for the free radicals.

Alcohol is not the top 5 ingredients so we can try not to emphasis too much on the side effect of alcohol except you have a very sensitive skin. Mineral oil can clog pore, acne prone skin should take care of this ingredient.

A milky, light sun block with a lovely herbal smell which is the same as the other products from sekkisei range, a very classical sekkisei smell .It can be spread out evenly on the face and leaved your face a very natural , radiant glow .The effect is close to an excellently foundation ~! It also provides a noticeable concealer effect on these imperfections. At the end of the day, my skin is still smooth and moisturized. The oil control effect is also awesome. My T-zone only a little bit oily in the evening.

The only thing I do not like on this sun block is the cleansing process .This sun block cannot be removed with normal cleanser. Cleansing water cannot clean the residue completely except bioderma micellar water(base on my experience). Normally I will clean this off by using shu uemura cleansing oil.

Spread it all over the face at the end of your day time skincare. Take care of the consequent cleansing step in the evening. =)

Pros: excellent texture, foundation effect, oil control, antioxidant, hydrate skin

Cons: cleansing step has to be more careful
