Bioré UV Aqua Rich Watery Essence SPF50+ PA++++ (70g)

Protect your skin from the intense Mediterranean sun with the ultimate holy-grail Japanese skincare essential. The Bioré UV Aqua Rich Watery Essence SPF50+ PA++++ completely redefines traditional sun protection. Ditch the heavy, sticky, and chalky sunblocks of the past. This globally acclaimed chemical sunscreen offers an incredibly lightweight, serum-like texture that melts into the skin instantly, delivering maximum broad-spectrum UV protection without the weight.

The Science of Micro Defense Technology

What sets the Bioré Aqua Rich Essence apart from standard sunscreens is Kao’s proprietary Micro Defense Technology. Traditional sunscreens can leave microscopic gaps when spread over the skin's natural uneven texture, fine lines, and pores. Bioré’s ultra-fine formula utilizes water-soluble capsules containing UV-blocking ingredients that glide seamlessly into every microscopic crevice, creating an impenetrable, uniform protective veil against aging UVA and burning UVB rays.

Why It’s Perfect for the Maltese Climate

• Absolutely Zero White Cast: Goes on completely translucent. It leaves a beautiful, healthy, skin-like dewy finish that suits all skin tones perfectly without looking chalky.
• Super Waterproof & Sweat-Resistant: Thoroughly tested to withstand up to 80 minutes of water and intense perspiration—making it ideal for hot Maltese summers, beach days, and outdoor sports.
• Double Duty Makeup Primer: The quick-absorbing, ultra-fresh watery base perfectly preps your skin for cosmetics, smoothing out dry patches and preventing your foundation from pilling or sliding off in high humidity.
• Packed with Skin-Loving Ingredients: Formulated with Hyaluronic Acid, Royal Jelly Extract, and intensive moisturizing agents to lock in hydration and prevent solar dryness.

Skin Type Suitability & Application Tips

This water-based formulation is highly recommended for normal, combination, and oily skin types. Its light texture controls excess sebum production, ensuring your face stays feeling fresh rather than suffocated.

Note for Sensitive Skin: To achieve its signature weightless, fast-drying texture, this product contains alcohol. If you have an exceptionally compromised skin barrier or a known severe allergy to cosmetics alcohol, patch testing is recommended.

How to use: Shake slightly if required. Apply a generous, even layer over the face, neck, and chest as the final step of your morning skincare routine, at least 15 minutes before sun exposure. Reapply every two hours, or after swimming, sweating, or towel drying to maintain optimal defense. It washes off effortlessly with your everyday facial cleanser or body soap.
