Bioré Reviews

4.3

Bioré earns strong reviews for its UV Aqua Rich sunscreens, which consistently perform—lightweight, non-sticky, no white cast, high protection, and comfortable under makeup—while pore-care staples like nose strips and charcoal cleansers deliver quick, visible results for many. Reviews also flag drawbacks: U.S. sunscreen formulas underwhelm versus the Japanese version, pore strips can be painful or ineffective for some, one bottle dispenses too much product, and the sunscreen can leave an unpleasant taste if it migrates.

    I have tried many different SPF products over the years, ranging from drugstore brands to higher-end brands. For context, I have normal/dry skin, which I feel like most products would work well. I wasn't a fan of the Trader Joe's dupe for supergoop or the e.l.f. Suntouchable glow or the Elta MD tinted sunscreen, or the Eucerin tinted sunscreen, the former two left my skin feeling greasy and latter was not hydrating enough. In comparison, Biore has been the best of both worlds, hydrating without being heavy.

    I’m already on my 3rd bottle of Bioré and this one of the BEST SPF I’ve tried. It’s a great lightweight sunscreen and absorbs almost immediately leaving no white cast on. I have dry skin and this SPF feels like it hydrates while protecting my skin. And by protecting means by fully protecting: it’s SPF 50 PA++++! What I like about this product is that gives a matte finish, so it’s great to apply before make up because it works like a primer and helps with oil control too. The formula contains hyaluronic acid, and I can feel right after applying how moisturized my skin feels. One thing I dislike about this product is the bottle, it tends to dispense too much lotion which makes easy to waste SPF. The price is very affordable for all the benefits.

    I know pore strips are the subject of a lot of debate in the derm world. Yeah, maybe they’re not great for your skin barrier and chemical exfoliants are a better long-term solution, but I (disclaimer: not a dermatologist in any way) still find them helpful and satisfying for a quick, occasional deep clean on my nose in a pinch. They work as advertised, and when used sparingly, they’re a convenient way to see immediate results without overdoing it.

    I do think they adhere very strongly, but for me that was actually part of the issue, they were pretty painful to remove. After going through that discomfort, I didn’t notice much of a visible difference in terms of clearing out pores or improving the look of my skin. I know a lot of people really love these, but they just didn’t deliver the results I was hoping for.
