Product Review: Scinic Enjoy Perfect Sun Cream SPF50+

Scinic Enjoy Perfect Sun Cream 50SPF+ PA+++

I purchased this from Sasa after spending several days hunting for a good sunscreen for use on my body. There isn't very much information out there at all about it, sadly, so this was something of a blind purchase based on what little information there was on Sasa and the fact that I could find almost no other good body sunblocks! I wanted something from Asia because of the reputation for having really good, non-greasy sunscreens without that awful typical smell sunscreens have.

Scinic is a Korean brand. There are three versions of this sunblock, and this one has the highest spf at 50. It does not say if it is water-resistant, but I wouldn't imagine so, so you'll probably need to reapply often if you are sweating or swimming.

It comes packaged in a 70ml tube. The packaging itself, shown below, is very clean and simple. Nothing really special, but it's nice enough.

The box the tube comes in. It's a very bright, sunshine yellow on the sides.

The actual tube of sunscreen.

The tube is only about half full when new, sadly. I've been using this a few weeks nearly every day, and it's about half gone, so I'd imagine that with daily use on the body, it'll last about 3 months maximum. It cost about $17 USD.

The sunscreen itself is very nice, very light fragrance, and has a cream consistency. It spreads on easily enough, though not as easily as a lotion. Once it has dried, which takes a few minutes at most, you cannot detect it. There's no smell, no film, no oiliness or grease, nothing. Perfect. I've experienced no breakouts or reactions and it seems to perform well enough, although I have not yet tested it in full summer sunshine.

The main sell for me, though, is that it contains no mineral oil, no methylparaben, no avobenzone or oxybenzone! The sunscreens used are Octinoxate, Octisalate, Zinc Oxide, and Titanium Dioxide. A nice mix of both physical and chemical sunscreens that cover both UVA and UVB- I just wish the box gave the percentages.
