People Say

★4.5Overall rating based on 10.0k+ reviews

This sunscreen is celebrated for its incredibly lightweight, watery texture that absorbs instantly without a white cast, making it ideal for daily wear. A very large amount of data suggests that users find it an excellent base for makeup and appreciate its non-greasy feel. Some users with sensitive or dry skin note that the high alcohol content can be drying or irritating, and the dewy finish may be too shiny for those with very oily skin.

Questions and answers

How well does Biore Aqua Rich work for mature skin?

Biore Aqua Rich works as an average fit for mature skin, providing basic hydration and sun protection, though it lacks specific ingredients targeting wrinkles and fine lines. To better support mature skin, products of this type need effective components for lines and wrinkles, along with barrier-supporting ingredients like niacinamide and ceramides.

International Journal of Nanomedicine, 2013International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2025

Which ingredients make this cream a good fit for mature skin?

This cream works for mature skin because hyaluronic acid keeps it hydrated and grapefruit fruit extract provides antioxidant benefits. However, a product for this skin needs extra ingredients that target wrinkles and fine lines, along with soothing components, ceramides, and niacinamide to better support skin health.

What does Octinoxate do for mature skin?

Octinoxate helps protect mature skin from UV-induced damage when used in daily sunscreens. Liposomal encapsulation may also enhance its retention in the skin and improve sun protection.

International Journal of Nanomedicine, 2013

What does Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine do for mature skin?

Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine helps protect mature skin from UV damage by absorbing sunlight efficiently and staying stable, which prevents premature aging caused by the sun. This ingredient is unlikely to break down quickly in light, keeping your skin guarded against UV rays throughout the day.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics, 2026Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, 2008

Where does this cream go in a skincare routine for mature skin?

This moisturizing sunscreen goes last in your morning routine after your moisturizer, keeping your skin protected from the sun all day. A complete routine for mature skin also needs ingredients that actively target wrinkles and fine lines.

Can I use this cream with retinol, and in what order?

You can use this cream in the morning after applying your retinol treatment, as part of your daily routine. The formula helps keep your skin safe and hydrated, but for mature skin, it needs extra ingredients that specifically target fine lines and wrinkles.

How often should I use this cream?

You can use this moisturizing spf every morning as part of your daily routine. It helps keep your skin protected from the sun and hydrated, though mature skin also needs ingredients that specifically target wrinkles and fine lines.

Can this cream clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for mature skin?

This cream is unlikely to clog pores or cause breakouts for mature skin, as it contains no harsh or prohibited ingredients that could cause irritation. However, a product for this skin type needs extra ingredients specifically targeting wrinkles and fine lines to provide the best care.

Is this cream fragrance-free and alcohol-free?

It has no fragrance and contains drying alcohol (alcohol).

What the research says

  • Topical application of a naringenin-containing formulation protected hairless mice from ultraviolet B-induced skin damage by inhibiting edema, cytokine production, superoxide anion, and lipid hydroperoxides while maintaining antioxidant enzymes and glutathione levels.

    PloS One, 2016

  • Topical application of an aqueous gel containing 0.1% w/w naringenin demonstrated in vitro safety, significantly reduced UV-induced stratum corneum lipid peroxidation, and showed in vivo anti-inflammatory efficacy against methyl nicotinate-induced inflammation in human participants compared to a blank gel and untreated area, while chlorogenic acid, apigenin, and kaempferol displayed pro-oxidant profiles.

    Frontiers in Chemistry, 2024

  • Liposomal encapsulation of octyl methoxycinnamate increases its safety, skin affinity, and in vivo solar photoprotection factor while slowing its release and enhancing retention in the stratum corneum compared to a conventional formulation.

    International Journal of Nanomedicine, 2013

  • Para-hydroxycinnamic acid alone or combined with niacinamide significantly mitigates ultraviolet-induced erythema, barrier disruption, and surface inflammatory biomarkers in female panelists compared to placebo and octinoxate.

    International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2025

  • Replacing 20% of the chemical UV filter octyl methoxycinnamate with urucum oil in solid lipid nanoparticles maintained the skin protection factor without inducing toxic responses or significant skin penetration in human volunteers.

    Skin Pharmacology and Physiology, 2018

  • Encapsulation of ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate and butyl methoxydibenzoylmethane in lipid microparticles significantly reduced their in vivo human skin penetration compared to nonencapsulated filters.

    Skin Pharmacology and Physiology, 2011

  • The application of a sunscreen formulation containing ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate, ethylhexyl salicylate, methyl anthranilate, and octocrylene does not significantly affect critical acne-related species such as Cutibacterium acnes and Staphylococcus epidermidis, refuting the induction of facial dysbiosis in men.

    Archives of Dermatological Research, 2024

  • Maximal topical applications of 6% bemotrizinol in a model sunscreen formulation did not result in meaningful systemic exposure in humans.

    Regulatory Toxicology and Pharmacology, 2023

  • Oral and dermal administration of Uvinul A plus resulted in three major urinary metabolites accounting for 52% of the oral dose, with a very low estimated daily systemic exposure of 8.1-9.3 μg/d in volunteers not intentionally exposed.

    International Journal of Hygiene and Environmental Health, 2020

Why other sunscreens fit mature skin better

  • Combining oral and topical astaxanthin in 30 healthy females improved skin wrinkles, age spots, elasticity, texture, and moisture, while 6 mg daily oral supplementation in 36 healthy males improved crow's feet wrinkles, elasticity, and transepidermal water loss.

    Acta Biochimica Polonica, 2012

  • Topical post-laser application of human adipocyte-derived mesenchymal stem cell media combined with niacinamide significantly improved wrinkle index, melanin index, patient satisfaction, and investigator esthetic improvement scores compared to vehicle cream in patients with aging skin.
