We can't seem to stop raving about Biore's UV Aqua Rich Watery Essence. Not only does it moisturise the skin (making it a great choice for those with dry complexions), it also plumps with hyaluronic acid and smoothens with citrus essence. Thanks to its water-based formula, it absorbs very quickly and also leaves no white residue despite its SPF of 50. 

Say hello to the sun with Banila Co.'s Hello Sunny Hydrating Sun Essence. As you may have guessed, this lightweight formula is a fantastic option for sensitive or dry skin. It contains azulene, which calms irritated skin and provides it with long-lasting moisture. It also protects against harmful UV rays with an impressive SPF50.

Maximise your skincare with Germaine de Capuccini's Golden Caresse Advanced Anti-Ageing Emulsion CC. This water-based sunscreen is an absolute must-have for those with dry and or sensitive skin. It's lightweight and leaves no white cast. Those with combination skin can even replace their moisturiser with just this sunscreen to provide ample hydration. 

Coming from the land most famous for beauty products, NoBrand is among South Korea's most popular names in lifestyle. Now that they're available in the Philippines, people have been lining up to get their hands on foreign snacks, homeware, and ramen noodles. But if there's one thing you can't overlook in their store, it's their Be Active Pure Sunstick. It offers protection from SPF50 and also comes with a very mild, citrusy scent. It leaves absolutely no white cast and is so easy to apply and reapply! 

I first discovered Saborino within the labyrinth of aisles at a Don Quijote in Osaka. Fortunately, Philippine stores have recently started importing Saborino products, among which is the Morning Sun Cut UV Spray. It comes in a 100-gram aerosol can, which makes it convenient for those who hate having to smooth sunscreen onto their faces. Just spray directly on the face or body and slightly massage or pat down. Its cooling effect and SPF50 protection are sure to keep you safe under this tropical heat—and because it's a spray-on, it leaves absolutely no white cast. 

We can't leave Supergoop out of a list of favourite sunscreens now can we? This cult brand offers their customers the Unseen Sunscreen, a weightless SPF40 skincare formulation that can also be used as a primer. Due to their versatile formulation packed with frankincense and meadowfoam seed, the Unseen Sunscreen is easy to use and healthy for all skin types!
