UV Filters: Uvinul A Plus & Uvinul T 150

Preparation

I applied the sunscreen on my left arm, wait for 20 mins and take a photo using UV camera (Sunscreenr).

For experiment purpose, I'd just cover from back of my hand to somewhere around my wrist. I'd leave my wrist area as comparison. No white cast on me. Takes time to set, and on my arm (and face), it doesn't dry down matte as you can see from the photo.

Powdered Over

So since it doesn't actually dry to the touch, I tried to powder it with RCMA Translucent powder with make up puff like this

Rubbing under Running Water

I put my back of hand under running water over the sink. Figured since it's not friction resistant based on my experience, so I tried rubbing lightly and vigorously to see the difference.

Rubbed lightly under running water (honestly it's hard to describe how much pressure I did, maybe like when you are washing our hands?):

Removal with foaming body wash

I tried with my foaming body wash from Shokubutsu. It can remove the sunscreen thoroughly

Reviews / Thoughts:

I use this as my indoor sunscreen since it's like a moisturizer with SPF for my oily skin. It's not matte and it takes time to set. But it's not shiny or greasy looking (say, like the La Roche Posay Shaka Fluid - you can see it from my post how shiny it was). It will just look like my skin.

I live in humid tropical southeast asia and I have oily skin. Rarely sunscreen can dry completely matte on me. The only sunscreens that totally dry matte on me from the bunch of sunscreens that I have tried are: Skinfood Sunflower No Sebum gel (my post here) and Anessa Perfect Milk (2018 formula - my post here)

For reference, my morning routine, I use benzoyl peroxide > timeless synthe6 / matrixyl serum (one drop only) on my whole face, and top up with sunscreen. So it's definitely not due to my skincare interfering with the sunscreen dry down time. I use around 2 fingers length, with the thickness on the photo I showed on initial application.

I also use this as moisturizer underneath my usual sunscreen when I'm going out; as it somewhat helps my other sunscreen to not pill around my hairline. I just use ~3 pea size of the purito when I use it as moisturizer underneath my sunscreen.

This sunscreen doesn't have oil control at all. Pretty much like after an hour, my face will get oily. You can literally see my pores 'holes' get filled up with oil haha. Oh, this makes my face sweat too (you know the sweaty sensation below your nose when the weather is hot? or is it just me haha). I can feel the 'coating' on my oily skin.

That being said, I don't mind wearing this since I know I'll be indoor. I actually have repurchased it many times. It's good for calming down redness too; which I welcome it since I started tretinoin 3 months ago; so my skin has this tendency to get red every now and then.

About UV camera

Disclaimer: I only use this to see if a sunscreen disperses an even layer (or patchy and spotty); and if I miss out a spot during application. It's not by all means to measure the sunscreen protection level. Got mine from sunscreenr.com. It's compatible with android phone.
