Living in such a tropical country like Indonesia where it feels like summer everyday, I have come to the realization on how important sun cream is for preventing skin aging such as un-even skin tone, fine lines and wrinkles. As a matter of fact, 90% and + of aging is caused by UV Rays. So I am hoping you are already using a daily sun cream or are planning to.
Recently I have been obsessed with a Korean beauty products which I found very affordable and amazingly work well on my skin. In this post I'll tell you guys my thought on the Cosrx Aloe Soothing Sun Cream. I heard lots of good reviews about this product so that's why I bought it.
COSRX claims:
Formulated with 5,500ppm of Aloe Leaf Extract, this sun cream protects skin against UVA & UVB rays while hydrating skin. This Aloe Soothing Sun Cream not only improves the skin’s moisture barrier, but also protect skin against UVA and UVB rays. This sun cream has light-weight texture, which absorbs quickly and leaves skin feeling intensely hydrated. It’s suitable for all skin types including sensitive skin.
Ingredients:
Water, Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Glycerin, Propylene Glycol, Cyclopentasiloxane, Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine, Phenylbenzimidazole Sulfonic Acid, Dicaprylyl Carbonate, Isoamyl P-Methoxycinnamate, Potassium Cetyl Phosphate, Alcohol,Dimethicone, Glyceryl Stearate, Butylene Glycol, Titanium Dioxide, C14-22 Alcohols, Polymethyl Methacrylate, Cetearyl Alcohol, Aloe Arborescens Leaf Extract, Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate, Tocopheryl Acetate, Peg-100 Stearate, Silica, C12-20 Alkyl Glucoside, Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Aluminum Hydroxide, Stearic Acid, Caprylyl Glycol, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Carbomer, Xanthan Gum, Triethanolamine Sodium Hydroxide, Fragrance, Phenoxyethanol, Disodium Edta
How to use:
- Apply adequate amount at the last step of basic skin care and always remember to apply it 30 minutes before going out on a sun.
- Reapply every four hours for the perfect sun protection during the outdoor activity.
- Cleanse of with the cleanser when removing the sun cream.
Packaging:
This sun cream comes in the 50ml plastic squeeze tube. Not something special for a sunscreen/sunblock. It's travel friendly because it is not big. The packaging is simple as all products from COSRX. I like how COSRX play with the colour, green for aloe vera.
Texture:
This sunscreen has quite a thick texture but will get absorbed into the skin effortlessly. It will leave a soft and smooth finish on the skin without greasiness or stickiness. It glides smoothly and easily over the skin with a “whipped” type of feeling. It literally is as smooth as butter. It is easy to spread and leaves no white cast. There is a slight shine on the face visible when I turn my head in all directions in front of the mirror but the best part? This totally did not break me out! Also, I found this sunscreen quite moisturizing/soothing to leave a radiant glow. I use this sunscreen in my daily morning routine. If you are still searching for a gentle sunscreen and don't mind a thicker texture I would definitely recommend you this sun cream!
Scent:
It has a refreshing, very light scent. It has a floral scent and I can smell a little bit of the aloe scent.Conclusion:

| This is how my face looks like using the sun cream without anything else on top of it! |
This has become my holy grail sun cream as it provides the perfect level of hydration and moisture to my skin. Most importantly, it has never caused me irritation or any breakouts which is why I can use it everyday as a day cream. It leaves my skin feeling healthy and looking healthy.
- This sunscreen is a hybrid sunscreen of chemical and physical UV filters. It contains titanium dioxide as the physical component and octinoxate, Bemotrizinol, amiloxate, and ensulizole as the chemical components. It contains a SPF of 50 and PA+++ ☀️
- This sunscreen contains 5500 ppm of aloe leaf juice which is great for soothing and hydrating. I don’t find this sunscreen has disturbing scent which is also a win
- I love this sunscreen! It’s super moisturizing and great for normal to dry skin types like myself. A lot of the times I won’t even need to put on a moisturizer underneath this because it’s moisturizing enough for me. The texture of this is super soft and moisturizing yet light cream consistency
- This sinks in to the skin beautifully but I will say it leaves a bit of shiny looks and slightly tacky kind of finish when you have just rubbed it in but that fades after maybe a minute or two
- Overall, I think this is an amazing sun cream especially for drier skin types, I think this would work great for combination skin as well. Would definitely repurchase
If you are Indonesian especially a Borneo citizen, looking for a cheap original Korean prducts, you can get this from: Midnight Sun Beauty
