Asian Beauty Product Review: Rave! (A Sunblock Story...)

This product is technically not an Asian brand, but for the longest time, it was only sold in Asia. It's the DiorSnow UV Shield Protection SPF 50 PA+++


It's definitely one of my favorite sunblocks of all time because it doesn't leave an oily residue on my face, and it's light enough so I don't feel like I'm wearing sunblock. It has a light scent, and I just know I'm protected from the sun with this product. I use this product only once in a while because I still have my huge tube of the Neutrogena Ultrasheer Dry Touch sunblock:


I've been trying to finish that tube for over a year now, and it's just never giving out! Texture-wise, both sunblocks are very similar because they're both light. The Neutrogena one is more oily I feel, even though it's "ultrasheer" and "dry touch". It still leaves a residue on my face and it stings my eyes when I workout with it.

For the longest time in high school, I used to use the Shisheido Ultimate Sun Protection Cream for Face:




For some reason, I just never got used to this sunblock. My mom graciously gave it to me at the beginning of high school so that I had some sort of protection. However, the texture was too runny, and it left a white cast on my face. No matter how much I shook it, it was still so runny. And no matter how much I rubbed it on my face, it still left some sort of residue on my face. I just didn't like this sun block at all, and I was turned off by the smell.

I'm a huge sunblock person, so I even have a few lined up to try after I use this DiorSnow sunblock. I want to try the Skinceauticals sunblock:
