Its matte finish is no shorter than fantastic!

I decided to try Kao BIORE UV Perfect Bright Milk Sunscreen after finding positive reviews of the product around the internet. I live in a place where it’s generally hot all the time, so, the task of keeping your face oil free throughout the day can turn into a Herculean task. That, associated with the fact that it is a tropical country, makes sure that having a sunscreen handy is imperial if you plan to protect yourself from the damages the sun can cause.

When the product first arrived and I had a chance to look at the vial, I thought it was a small one. I wondered if that meant it wouldn’t last as long as I had initially envisioned it, but, upon opening it up to try, I realized that its liquid formulation meant that it would last for quite a while.

First impressions of the product:

- Oil free formula (it isn’t oily even when you’re first spreading it) is quickly absorbed by the skin;
- Gentle texture, soft to the touch;
- Gentle smell (you don’t have to worry about smelling like sunscreen throughout the day!);
- The bottle comes with a small sphere inside that helps you mix up the product while shaking it prior to use, as well as a dosing mechanism to prevent large sums of it to come out.

Impressions after using the product:

The results of the product amazed me. As aforementioned, I live in a place where it’s hot pretty much all the time, and I couldn’t go through half the day without my skin glistening with grease. Needless to say that it wasn’t a pretty look. I have been using Kao BIORE UV Perfect Bright Milk Sunscreen for nearly a month now, and I’ve noticed that nowadays even after I work out, my skin doesn’t really have that oily glow anymore, and I can actually hold onto the matte looking face for the entire day long. The sunscreen really feels like a primer and holds up your makeup quite effectively.

It is a product I’ve been recommending to anyone who’s looking for an affordable sunscreen that delivers what it promises. As for the size of the product, I wouldn’t be discouraged by it either. Its liquid texture will probably last for three months or so. I’m already considering getting myself more of it.

Matt, but leaves white cast

This sunscreen leaves white cast. Its not oily, dries down with quite matt finish, but the white cast is not good, I cannot use it without makeup on it. Its also not alcohol free. Have strong alcohol smell.Read full review...

Good quaity sun protection but not for everyone

It says formulation cream, but it is in fact very runny liquid. I found it is not very easy to spread as it it dries very fast. It leaves whitish residue as it contains talk powder to suppress sebum. Works well as a makeup primer.
Note: it comes in a small 30mL bottle, it seems kind of pricey for such a small amount. On another hand it is easy to carry around.

INGREDIENTS (note it does contain alcohol & silicones)
Active Ingredients: Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate 5.0%, Cyclopentasiloxane 25.7%, Zinc Oxide 12.0%, Lauryl Methacrylate/Sodium Methacrylate Crosspolymer 6.0%, Titanium Dioxide 0.47% Cyclomethicone, Dimethicone, Alcohol, Water, Lauryl Methacrylate/Sodium Methaxcrylate Crosspolymer, Talc, Glycerin, Titanium Dioxide, Methicone, Mica, Polysilicone-9, Peg-12 Dimethicone, Peg-3 Dimethicone, Cetyl-Pg Hydroxyethyl Palmitamide, Aluminum Hydroxide, Silica, Iron Oxides (Ci 73360), Bht, Barium Sulfate, Aluminum Dimyristate

Great product, a bit expensive for the size of the bottle.

Definitely helps brighten my complexion and feels great on the skin. I have not had issues with it not washing off properly. (That was something people complained about in miscellaneous reviews...) But I do double cleanse at night. I was using the aqua rich gel before this and I feel that this is less sticky and my makeup sits better on it.Read full review...

Forget everything you know about facil sunnyscreen

This product is amazing, it holds the oil on your screen the entire day and it can be used as a primer, the matte effect is amazing!

The product's size is a bit small, 30ml goes fast, but still worth the price!Read full review...

Very nice matte sunscreen!

Great for my oily skin because it mattifies and is not greasy at all. Great sun protection, I’ve even worn it to a day at the beach and it performed perfectly. The bottle is a bit small, wish they gave you more product but on the other hand, it’s easy to toss into your purse or travel bag. I’ve tried many sunscreens and there’s nothing on the market like this in the US. I have repurchased this many times.Read full review...

The best ever!

O melhor protetor já utilizado em minha vida. O produto mantem a pele matificada o dia inteiro, ótima proteção, aspecto de seda, ótima espalhabilidade, aplicabilidade, super resistente ao suor. Sabendo usá-lo, dura em média uns 3 a 4 meses, aplicando no rosto e pescoço. Já usei protetores de diversas marcas e nenhum consegui manter a estabilidade quanto a proteção em relação ao suor, a água, ao vento, poeira.Read full review...

Japanese gem!

This sunscreen works great as a makeup primer, it sticks to the skin giving it a a smooth and matte aspect. It simply doesnt come off with water, so you can sweat your heart out and your face will still look fresh. You need demaquilant to take it off, it is mandatory to fully remove the sunscreen.

Also, on a day to day basis, using this sunscreen provides for great solar protection, as I said before, it doesn't come off easily, so it looks like good protection for your whole day.

I will be ordering more. Great quality.

Best sunscreen ever!

This sunscreen is very easy to apply (very liquid, it is possible to apply many layers and thus get the proper protection). My skin does not get oily during the day. It is also good to be used as a primer before make up. Love this product, will buy again and again.Read full review...

Non-greasy. Light, dries matte, perfect under makeup

This is my absolute favorite facial sunscreen. I use tretinoin (retin-A), so a good sunscreen is very important. It is the consistency of milk, absorbs fast, dries matte, and is very light and soft. I just love it! I bought the 3 pack, but the white bottle Face Milk is my favorite. Read full review...
