People Say
★4.6Overall rating based on 400+ reviewsThis sunscreen is highly praised for its exceptionally lightweight, watery feel that sinks in quickly without leaving a white cast, making it ideal for daily use and as a makeup base. While it offers excellent protection and hydration for most, its significant alcohol and fragrance content can lead to dryness, irritation, or breakouts for those with sensitive or acne-prone skin, and may cause stinging around the eyes.

Questions and answers
How well does Biore UV Aqua Rich work for mature skin?
Biore UV Aqua Rich works for mature skin, though other products fit it better. It helps keep skin soft and smooth through hydrating and soothing ingredients like hyaluronic acid, glycerin, and tocopheryl acetate. To fit this skin better, a product of this type needs ingredients like niacinamide, ceramides, and sodium hyaluronate to support skin barrier function and hydration.
Dermatologic Therapy, 2022Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017
Which ingredients make this cream a good fit for mature skin?
Hyaluronic Acid and Glycerin help keep mature skin hydrated and soft, while Tocopheryl Acetate provides helpful antioxidant support. To work even better for mature skin, a product of this type needs extra ingredients like Niacinamide, Sodium Hyaluronate, and multiple ceramides to strengthen the skin barrier and smooth fine lines.
Dermatologic Therapy, 2022Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017
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.
What does Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate do for mature skin?
Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate helps protect mature skin from harmful ultraviolet rays that accelerate aging. When used in advanced formulations, it stays safely on the skin surface to provide effective sun defense.
International Journal of Biological Macromolecules, 2026European Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2014
Where does this cream go in a skincare routine for mature skin?
This moisturizing SPF goes at the end of your morning routine after your moisturizer, but mature skin also needs richer hydration, powerful antioxidants, and targeted anti-aging treatments to truly thrive.
Journal of Drugs in Dermatology, 2023Journal of Drugs in Dermatology, 2025
Can I use this cream with retinol, and in what order?
You can use this cream in the morning after applying your retinol treatment to protect your skin and keep it soft. Mature skin needs products with rich hydrators like hyaluronic acid and soothing antioxidants to support fine lines and maintain a smooth feel.
Dermatologic Therapy, 2022Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017
How often should I use this cream?
You can use this moisturizing SPF every morning as part of your daily routine. Daily application helps keep skin soft and provides steady hydration throughout the day.
Can this cream clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for mature skin?
This cream is unlikely to cause skin breakouts, as the risk of breakouts is low. A product for mature skin needs ingredients like hyaluronic acid and vitamin E to provide hydration and support firmness without clogging pores.
Is this cream fragrance-free and alcohol-free?
It has no fragrance and contains drying alcohol (alcohol).
What the research says
Topical hyaluronic acid filler serum combined with Botulinum toxin type A lengthened the duration of the toxin's effect in reducing wrinkles compared to Botulinum toxin type A alone.
Dermatologic Therapy, 2022A single application of a moisturizing fluid containing hyaluronic acid 1%, glycerin 5%, and Centella asiatica stem cells extract significantly increased skin hydration by 29% and reduced transepidermal water loss at 24 hours compared to baseline and an untreated control site in twenty healthy women.
Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017Co-encapsulation of alpha-tocopherol and alpha-tocopheryl acetate in nanostructured lipid carrier gel formulations significantly enhanced moisture retention up to 68% and improved skin elasticity in human volunteers compared to a solution gel.
Scientific Reports, 2025Dermatological products containing d-alpha tocopheryl acetate showed non-comedogenic potential with less than a 50% increase in microcomedones in 12 healthy male subjects compared to octyl palmitate.
Contemporary Clinical Trials Communications, 2021Replacing 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, 2018Liposomal 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, 2013Encapsulation 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, 2011Oral 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, 2020Maximal topical applications of 6% bemotrizinol in a model sunscreen formulation did not result in meaningful systemic exposure in humans.
