Face Republic Super Screen Sun Gel Review
I bought this from Guardian sebab ada 40% sale if I'm not mistaken, normal price around RM45. I selalu mencari sunscreen baru from drugstore and I saw this one, tak ada alcohol so okay lah boleh try.
What it claims?
"A non-sticky, non-greasy, gel type formula that is light on the skin, leaving it feeling soothed and refreshed while actively protecting it from harmful UVB and UVB rays. Best used every day for daily sun protection, can be worn under makeup"
Ingredients
WATER, ETHYLHEXYL METHOXYCINNAMATE, OCTOCRYLENE, ETHYLHEXYL SALICYLATE, 4-METHYLBENZYLIDENE CAMPHOR, BEHENYL ALCOHOL, BUTYL METHOXYDIBENZOYLMETHANE, DIPROPYLENE, GLYCOL, 1,2-HEXANEDIOL, NIACINAMIDE, GLYCERIN, METHYL METHACRYLATE CROSSPOLYMER, BIS-ETHYLHEXYLOXYPHENOL METHOXYPHENYL TRIAZINE, PORTULACA OLERACEA EXTRACT, OLEA EUROPAEA (OLIVE) LEAF EXTRACT, SODIUM HYALURONATE, CERAMIDE NP, MINERAL WATER, BAMBUSA VULGARIS EXTRACT, EUCALYPTUS GLOBULUS LEAF EXTRACT, HYDROGENATED LECITHIN, ALOE BARBADENSIS LEAF EXTRACT, ADANSONIA DIGITATA SEED EXTRACT, BUTYLENE GLYCOL, TROMETHAMINE, CARBOMER, FRAGRANCE, SILICA, ADENOSINE, DISODIUM EDTA, PENTYLENE GLYCOL, PHENOXYETHANOL, CAPRYLYL GLYCOL, CAPRYLIC/CAPRIC TRIGLYCERIDE, ETHYLHEXYLGLYCERIN

My thoughts on Face Republic Super Screen Sun Gel
This sunscreen is a chemical sunscreen since it contains only chemical filters (Octinoxate, Octocrylene, Ethylhexyl Salicylate, Enzacamene, Avobenzone, Tinosorb S). If you prefer a physical / mineral sunscreen, you can read this post: Mineral / physical sunscreen . For me, I okay je pakai chemical sunscreen but depends on the formulation jugak.
It's SPF50 and PA+++. SPF rating is the protection from UVB, and I prefer SPF30-50 kalau outdoor. PA rating is the protection from UVA. Paling tinggi is PA++++ (very high protection) and PA+++ is high protection so okay lah to use outdoor.
I like the texture, it has a gel-lotion texture that is very smooth and nicely applied on the skin. Tak melekit bila apply and absorbs nicely into the skin, leaving a nice smooth satin finish. Since I have dry skin, I really like it. There is no whitecast (yang biasa buat kulit nampak kelabu bila pakai sunscreen) cuma the scent tu macam lingers lama jugak lah. Boleh bau the scent kalau orang datang bau kulit kita hahaha.
In terms of the ingredients, it has no alcohol, tapi ada fragrance. If you have very sensitive skin, please check the ingredients first, risau kalau ada any sunscreen filters or ingredient yang tak sesuai with your skin. As for me, I didn't have any issue with the product. Tak buat kulit rasa pedih, gatal, merah merah and it's also can be used under makeup. The price is also quite affordable and easy to get. Worth to try!

Scent
It smells fresh and clean, almost like a men's perfume? Bau dia reminds me of the shaving cream pun ada jugak. Tapi tak kuat sangat so okay lah.
