Heavalie Waterdrop Sun Gel SPF 50+ PA+++

I was guilty of not wearing sunscreen for a very long time until in July 2017 (this year ) when i tested out a korean sunscreen for the first time and realized that there are wonderful, light weight, easy on the skin sun screen formulas out there for people who are willing to explore , experiment (and of course spend money ) When my dermatologist prescribed me a sun screen last year I wore it hardly for a week because it felt so heavy , clogged my pores and caused breakouts


I tend to switch products every season as my skin is quite finicky ( its oily in summers / dehydrated on and off / dry in winters)
So my current preference for sunscreen is hydrating and dewy keeping in mind the current Islamabad weather
Starting with the packaging this has such a beautiful matte, pastel purple tube and this shiny cap. Product comes out through nozzle
About the product:
This contains 35ml of product which is a little less compared to the standard 50ml that most of sunscreen tube holds but for me that's not much of a problem since sunscreens have a shell life of 1yr so I personally think that I can finish up 35ml more easily as compared to 50ml







I detected  a mild pleasant scent on searching this sunscreen. The formula  is light weight and blend-able. the texture is very interesting although its says gel it's more of a lotion (runny/ watery) .it looks white in color but once rubbed into the skin it becomes transparent and leaves hydrating water drops which absorb into the skin
At first when I used this sparingly on my face I got a semi matte finish but once I used a medium sized dollop of this under my foundation I realized that this makes the skin dewy and glowy. I often switch sun-screens and unlike some western sunscreens this didn't clog up my pores or cause breakouts
I feel that this  product is going to be better enjoyed by dry skin people all year long & for oily skin gals in winters

If you are still considering whether you should incorporate sunscreen in your makeup routine or not I request you do. It a skincare product that won't give you instant effects (other than prevent tanning and protecting your skin from harmful UVA- UVB rays) but you probably are going to look several years younger/ mote youthful in your 50's. I am serious ok 😰
