What the gurus are saying

This gel earns praise for delivering a plush, moisturizing texture despite high ethanol content, blending easily with no white cast and settling to a velvety finish that plays well under makeup. The formula borrows K-beauty's comfort and J-beauty's waterproof reliability, keeping dry and combination skin feeling supple rather than tight or greasy. Gurus trust Anessa's parent company and its track record, though not many have weighed in on this particular product yet.

"First time I applied this, I was honestly quite surprised because although ethanol is high on the list, it does have quite a plush medium-bodied texture that is not that common with Japanese sunscreens. It is very easy to apply and blend out, and it certainly does not have any white cast. After initial application it has a bit of a dewy finish, but it settles to a more velvety skin-like finish. Over time it keeps my skin feeling very comfortable, not overly greasy, but definitely not dry even for my dry skin. It sits well underneath makeup with no peeling or bunching. The overall vibe of this sunscreen is like a moisturizing K-beauty cream sunscreen, but make it waterproof because a lot of K-beauty sunscreens are not waterproof whereas J-beauty sunscreens are. This one has taken the best aspects of K-beauty and J-beauty sunscreen and put them in one. Personally, it was great for my dry skin, but I feel like combo skin people would absolutely love it."

"Anessa is a brand I trust. I think they're owned by Shiseido. I trust them, they typically have done pretty well in testing and I trust the brand overall. It's thick and it definitely has a white cast, so if you have a deeper skin tone it's going to be much more noticeable than this is on me. This one has no scent or anything, I don't think it has any alcohol. It's really nice. The mild formulas, when it says mild, those typically mean sensitive skin friendly, meaning no fragrance or alcohol."
