Product packaging:
To my shock, this tube of Cosrx’s aloe 54.2 aqua tone-up sunscreen is slimmer and smaller than a tube in actual life. The amount continues to be comparatively customary although, weighing at 50 mL/ 1.69 fl. oz. What’s completely different from my favourite Cosrx vitamin E vitalizing sunscreen is that this has a snap-off lid and the opposite one has a twist-off lid.
It does get a little bit bit messy although despite the fact that I attempt my greatest to maintain it clear.
Texture/ End:
The feel is comparatively skinny and cozy on the pores and skin, nonetheless, I discover it takes extra time to mix into the pores and skin than my common sunscreen. The “white forged” or brightening impact isn’t sturdy, however I wouldn’t counsel these with darker complexions use this since it would make you look ashy.
There’s a slight salmon-pink shade to it, which blends out into virtually nothing. What’s left on the pores and skin is a faint brightening impact, which I’m actually shocked by. The tone-up lotions or tone-up sunscreens I’ve used prior to now all the time made me, who’s already pale as a ghost, extra ghostly. How is that even attainable??
For many who don’t like tremendous dewy or oily sunscreens, that is for you. The end isn’t tremendous mattifying, nor does it give my pores and skin hydration. I hardly ever will attain for this each day because it dries my pores and skin out a bit after a few hours. Do consider, that we’re in the midst of winter and it’s dry as heck already. I reckon if this was utilized by somebody with a extra regular to oily pores and skin sort, it wouldn’t be as drying.
Let’s do this on!
Right here is my naked pores and skin. My pores and skin is irritated in the meanwhile and fairly dry. I often put sunscreen on after moisturizer in the course of the day. If I wish to put make up on, I’ll put it on prime of the sunscreen.
After the sunscreen has absorbed into my pores and skin, there’s a particular brightening/ “tone up” impact. I don’t personally get pleasure from it that a lot, but it surely might be a superb beginning base for the inspiration to get a extra even complexion.

Stars given out of 5:
????????????
General ideas:
Out of all of the Cosrx sunscreens I’ve tried, that is higher than their older aloe sunscreen for certain. However out of the three present Cosrx, this is able to rank second place. I don’t attain for it as a lot because it isn’t simple to put on for daily if I don’t put on make up, nonetheless it’s a much better tone up sunscreen in comparison with all those I’ve tried prior to now. Is it the most effective Koren sunscreen available in the market? It’s nor good, nor unhealthy. I believe there’s use for this sunscreen and somone on the market will certainly like this. For most people in each japanese and western tradition, that is an acquired style sort of sunscreen. General I give this a passing grade of three stars and would provide the go forward to attempt it if it pursuits you and also you match the necessities up above.
