Here's another Biore product! We have tried many and have written a few of our experiences here on JJOYIS. Biore sunscreens are always a staple in our makeup stash. They are really affordable and of good quality - there is no way not to like them.
This time, I am writing about Biore UV Perfect Milk (Cool). I think this is currently not available in Singapore. I purchased this from Watsons Malaysia (when we still can travel T_T). Nonetheless, you can still find it online if you wish to try it out after reading!

Biore UV Perfect Protect Milk (Cool)
What: Sunscreen
For: Face & Body
Size: 25 mL
SPF: 50+
PA: +++
Price: $10-ish
Where to buy: Overseas, online shopping platforms like Shopee, Qo100 and Lazada
Ingredients
Cyclopentasiloxane, Alcohol, Water, Zinc Oxide, Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Lauryl Methacrylate/Sodium Methacrylate Crosspolymer, Dimethicone, Talc, Glycerin, PEG-12 Dimethicone, Methicone, Polysilicone-9, PEG-3 Dimethicone, Menthol, Fragrance, BHT, Tocopherol, Oryza Sativa (Rice) Germ Oil, Phenoxyethanol, o-Cymen-5-ol
Packaging
The bright yellow packaging really stands out. This sunscreen has a capacity of 25 mL; thus it is pretty small and easy to carry around. It has a shaker inside to mix the formulation before use. The cap comes with a twist-lock so you don't have to worry about spilling.
Scent
Lightly scented and not obvious/overwhelming.
Texture/consistency
It is very watery, spreads easily and dries fast enough. Biore UV Perfect Protect Milk outperformed my requirements lol.
On skin
On skin, this is not oily, sticky, matte nor shiny. It looks and feels like it didn't exist.
I am so happy with this and it does not cause any breakouts/clog pores. It claims to have anti-bacterial formula too.
Under makeup
No issues so far under makeup/makeup base.
Ingredients
Biore UV Perfect Cool uses a combination of ingredients to provide physical and chemical sun protection. If you're sensitive to silicones, fragrance or preservatives, this may not be suitable for you. Talc is also added - I am still willing to accept when it is in liquid state. However, I don't mind if they are able to keep the consistency while improving the ingredients.
For face and body
I believe this is suitable as stated but I usually only use it on my face. This is because:
1. It will probably run out in no time if I use it on my face AND body
2. I don't use sunblock on my body ANYWAY unless I am doing outdoor activities lol
Water-resistant
Biore UV sunscreen claims to be water/sweat resistant but this is too hard to verify.
Overall
This seems like a very underwhelming post with little pictorial references. After trying so many different brands of sunscreens, I realised that it is not an easy feat to meet all the basic expectations.
The texture is light and it leaves no unpleasant feeling on the skin after use. This is one of my favourites out of the many other Biore's sunscreens. SPF and PA rating is good enough for everyday use and layering is possible as well. While a lot of products these days are trying to reduce the number of ingredients in their formulations. I believe most ingredients are still safe to use. My take is if it doesn't cause any problem and I enjoy using it, I will continue to use it. That being said, I will continue to try new brands but I know Biore sunblocks will always take a special spot in my heart (or makeup stash). The consistency in the performance of all their products is for all to see and experience.
Pros:
- Good consistency and texture
- Blends easy
- Absorbs fast
- No white or greasy finish
- Does not interfere with makeup/skincare
- Little scent
- Good packaging
Cons:
- Ingredient list
- Quite small
Packaging: 5/5
Consistency: 5/5
On skin: 5/5
Ingredients: 3.5/5
Value for money: 4.5/5
Will repurchase and recommend!

Hi, do you think its suitable for people with acne prone skin?
ReplyDeleteI don't have acne prone skin so I may not be the best person to comment on it. What you can do is to make sure there isn't any ingredient on the list you're sensitive to. This Biore sunscreen is not oily and has never caused any problem for me so I would say it is worth a shot.
DeleteDo remember to remove sunscreens with a cleansing water (or equivalent) at the end of the day and follow up with good skincare practice.
I suggest doing a patch test too before jumping to try on the whole face. Hope it helps!
