I got this from my recent YesStyle Haul! If you�ve been reading my posts for years, you know from my time in Taiwan that Esfolio is one of my all-time favorite companies. I bought their sheet masks religiously while I was in Taiwan and now I can find them pretty frequently at my local Marshall�s or TJ-Maxx.

Anyway, when I saw this I couldn�t resist trying it out! I was in need of a sunscreen anyway and this called my name. Here�s the packaging with the ingredients:

I think it�s great that they list the percentages for each fruit/plant extract that they promote � sometimes when they promote certain ingredients and they don�t list how much is in the product I feel slightly skeptical. I like the transparency here! I put the ingredients that they are promoting in their ad for the product in bold.

Here�s the list of ingredients more clearly:

Vaccinium Macrocarpon (Cranberry) Fruit Extract (9.56%), Rubus Idaeus (Raspberry) Fruit Extract (9.56%), Fragaria Ananassa (Strawberry) Fruit Extract (9.56%), Rubus Fruticosus (Blackberry) Fruit Extract (9.56%), Vaccinium Angustifolium (Blueberry) Fruit Extract (9.56%), Euterpe Oleracea (Acai) Fruit Extract (9.56%), Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Dipropylene Glycol, Ethylhexyl Salicylate, Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891), Glycerin, Dimethicone, 4-Methylbenzylidene Camphor, Octocrylene, Niacinamide, Cetearyl Alcohol, Stearic Acid, Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate, Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine, 1,2-Hexanediol, Sorbitan Stearate, Glyceryl Stearate, PEG-100 Stearate, Polysorbate 60, Hydroxyacetophenone, Aluminum Starch Octenylsuccinate, Adenosine, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Arginine, Ethylhexylglycerin, Aluminum Hydroxide, Disodium EDTA, Xanthan Gum, Chlorphenesin, Fragrance

Besides the fruit extracts, I like seeing Niacinamide in there for evening out my skin tone and calming my skin down. I also like that �fragrance� is the last ingredient in there � it�s true, too, there isn�t much of a scent to this product.

Also, the front of the box advertises that 57.36% of the product is the �Berry Mix� and if you add up the percentages in the list, it�s true.

It�s called a sun cream and it feels like one! When I put it on, it reminds me of a light moisturizer � my skin feels softer after application. It does give my normal-type skin a nice, soft glow, so I think this would be great for dry- to normal-types but I would be a little hesitant to recommend it to oily-skin types because I would worry it would be a bit too glowy for them.

It has both UVA & UVB protection. This Sun Cream by Esfolio is one of four in their Sun Cream line � this one is called �Anti-Wrinkle� and comes in a pink tube, but they also have other versions:

They promote that they don�t use water as a filler in their ingredients, and instead use their extracts � which is true. They say there�s no white cast � I didn�t experience any! I took pictures on very sunny days and you can�t tell I�m wearing it. It doesn�t feel oily, it feels more like a light moisturizer, so I�d agree with their statements � even the �NO high cost�, haha!

I�ve been using this daily for about a week now, and I�ve been really liking it. It didn�t break me out and it plays well with my foundations so far. It keeps my skin moisturized, to boot!

I bought this on YesStyle for $5.72 (original listing price is $15.90 � as of right now it�s still on sale!). This is such a bargain that I�ll definitely be buying this again! Love the ingredients, love the product!

Hope this helped!! ?

P.S. I�ve been a long-time customer of YesStyle (I�m talking years) and I�ve got a discount for you if you�d like use them! Use �ABOBSESSED20� to get 5% off your order!
