Which Biore Watery Essence should I buy?

[Curlywurly1975]

I know it’s an MN favourite and want to give it a go. But there seems to be lots of different versions on Amazon - can anyone tell me which one I should’ve be getting? And two questions - does it have UVA protection too and is it good for oily skin?

Following; is there a mineral based one?

I buy this one. I've just ordered my 4th bottle of the stuff. I have an oily t zone and although I can't say this helps with that but It certainly doesn't make it worse. The texture feels lovely going on and it leaves a really nice finish. Doesn't smell chemically either, it smells sort of fruity. Yes, it does have SPF50.

One of the best recommendations I've had from MN.

They are both good. I have both the Bright Milk (very matte, can leave a slight white cast, great as a base for foundation in place of a primer) and Watery Essence (still matte but very slightly less so, no white cast, also great as a primer). Both are very good.

Great, thanks.

@EraOfTheGrey sorry I meant does it have UVA as well as UVB protection?

From what I understand SPF indicates the level of protection from UVB rays while PA indicates the level of protection from UVA rays. Watery essence has SPF50+ and P+++.

It's hard to understand the writing on the bottle as it's in Japanese.
