I know this is a pretty unpopular opinion with the cost of everything nowadays, but I love testing out new sunscreens and the smaller containers makes it easier to finish them before they expire. I am fortunate that the majority of the sunscreens I've tried have worked for me and not caused issues, but I can see it being annoying if you're the type of person who likes to stick to one thing that works. This is my current stash for a hot and humid American summer in the south. In the winter I typically pick more moisturizing, alcohol-free sunscreens.
A quick review of the AB sunscreens I've tried and how I felt about them on my dry, dehydrated skin:
* **Biore Aqua Rich Watery Essence**- a classic for a reason
* **Canmake UV Mermaid**- honestly feels too light, I'd love to see this SPF rating tested
* **Isntree Hyaluronic Acid Watery sun gel**- really disliked this one because it felt so heavy and made me look greasy and shiny
* **Beauty of Joseon rice and probiotics**- really nice, heavier sunscreen for winter use
* **Beauty of Joseon Aqua fresh**- even better than the OG, I prefer this one for how light it is, but still moisturizing enough for a winter sunscreen
* **Purito Daily Soft Touch**- pretty good, has better staying power than a lot of the other sunscreens but I still wouldn't trust it for heavy outdoor use (marketing aside)
* **Kiss me Mommy UV Aqua Milk**- loved this sunscreen, very similar to BoJ Aqua Fresh but in much cuter packaging
* **Skin Aqua Serum UV**- a nice, lightweight summer moisturizer. Love that it's alcohol-free
- Skin1004 Hyalu-Cica Water-Fit Sun Serum– as awesome as everyone says it is
* **Anessa Perfect UV Sunscreen Milk (gold bottle)**- this has some serious staying power. Not a fan of the smell or the whitecast, but when I want good protection this is it
* **Anessa Mild Milk (pink bottle)**- same as the gold bottle but it has an absolutely terrible white cast. I'm pale and it turned me pink/grey.
* **Nivea UV Deep Protect and Care Essence**- Hate it. Heavily fragranced and feels greasy. It's like a worse version of Biore Aqua Watery Essence
* **Rohto Mentholatum – Skin Aqua UV Super Moisture Milk (blue bottle)**- didn't like this one either. It felt tacky and sticky and just sat on my skin
* **Round Lab Birch Juice Moisturizing Sun Cream**- Felt really heavy to me. For the price point, I think BoJ or Skin1004 is better
