Biore UV Aqua Rich Aqua Highlight Lotion SPF50+ PA++++ — lightweight water-based sunscreen lotion with a luminous finish that brightens and protects in a single step.
About this product
Biore UV Aqua Rich Aqua Highlight Lotion is a fresh evolution in KAO's celebrated Aqua Rich sunscreen line — combining SPF50+ PA++++ full-spectrum UV protection with a delicate light-reflecting pigment formula that gives skin a natural, healthy luminosity. Where most sunscreens sit flatly or leave a white cast, the Aqua Highlight formulation creates a lit-from-within glow effect that flatters all skin tones while protecting against both UVA and UVB damage. The water-rich base absorbs rapidly into skin — no heavy silicone feel, no sticky residue — making it ideal as a daily pre-makeup base or standalone skin-care-with-protection step for those who want their skin to look as good as it is protected.
How to use
- Apply after moisturiser and before makeup as the final skin-care step
- Dispense a coin-sized amount (approximately 0.5ml for the face) into palms
- Warm between fingers briefly, then press and smooth evenly over the face and neck
- Allow 1–2 minutes to dry before applying foundation or powder for best makeup adhesion
- Reapply every 2 hours of UV exposure, after sweating, or after patting with tissue
- Note: avoid eye area
Ingredients
- UV Filters (high-efficiency organic blend) — SPF50+ PA++++ broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection system
- Water — primary base of the Aqua Rich water-in-silicone formula for the ultra-light texture
- Titanium Dioxide (micronised, coated) — physical UV scatter and the source of the brightening highlight luminosity
- BG — skin-conditioning co-solvent
- Dimethicone — spreads the formula smoothly and contributes to a non-greasy, silky finish
- Pearl Extract / Mica (light-reflecting particles) — creates the Aqua Highlight luminous glow effect on the skin surface
FAQ
Will the highlight finish look natural or obviously glittery?
The highlight effect is a subtle, skin-like luminosity rather than visible shimmer or glitter — it mimics healthy, well-hydrated skin.
Can I use this under foundation?
Yes — the lightweight texture makes it an excellent sunscreen-primer hybrid; allow to fully absorb before applying foundation.
Is this water-resistant?
Aqua Rich formulations are not certified water-resistant; reapply after swimming or heavy sweating.
Does the titanium dioxide leave a white cast?
The micronised, coated grade used in Aqua Rich is designed to be invisible on light and medium skin tones; deeper skin tones may see a slight brightness — the highlight effect can compensate.
Is this suitable for oily skin?
The water-rich, low-silicone formula is well-suited to oily and combination skin that does not want additional heaviness from sunscreen.
🇵🇭 For Philippines customers
For Filipinas who want their sunscreen to do more than just block UV — specifically to address the dull, uneven skin tone that years of tropical sun exposure accumulates — Biore UV Aqua Rich Aqua Highlight Lotion adds a light-reflecting pigment layer to full SPF50+ PA++++ protection, delivering a natural, healthy luminosity that flatters all Filipino skin tones without a greasy or cakey finish.
This is a meaningful product upgrade for working Filipinas who use sunscreen as a standalone step before leaving the house: the lit-from-within glow effect replaces the need for a separate primer or light foundation on casual office days, while the Aqua Rich water-base formula keeps the same invisible, non-sticky wear that makes the series' reputation in Philippine beauty communities.
