EDITED: I downgraded this to 2 lippies. I find that it irritates my eyes if I use it around my eyes. Burns and makes me tear up. Will not repurchase.

This sunscreen from Kanebo is in the same price range as Shiseido's Anessa and Kao's Sofina, maybe a couple of bucks cheaper than the other two. Allie was reformulated in 2008 with 3 different versions: Perfect, Watertouch, Whitening. This review is for Perfect, which is supposed to be the strongest of the 3. Compare to Sofina and Anessa, which feel like milk, the texture of this is similar to a mixture of milk + serum. I've used this for 3 weeks and feel that it's too moisturizing for the hot and humid Japan summer. I prefer the finish of Sofina over this one. Sofina is more mattifying and does a better job in evening out my skintone. This summer I tried 3 different new susncreens: Shiseido Anessa 2008 reformulated in Gold bottle with Tinosorb S, Allie, and Mentholatum Skin Aqua Moisture Milk, all spf50/pa+++. Here is how I would rank them:

Mentholatum: most moisturizing of the 4, texture is more serum like than milk. Too heavy for me to use in summer time and gave me some whiteheads. Will try again in winter time. (this is also cheaper than the other three)
Allie: 2nd most moisturizing of the 4, texture is a combination of serum + milk. A good choice for those who find Sofina and Anessa too drying, but might be heavy for very oily skin to use in summer. I will use it in winter
Sofina: best finish of the 4, mattifying, smooths out my pores, and evens out my skintone. Texture is milky. This is my HG in summer time, but too dry for me to use in winter
Anessa: the most mattifying of the 4. Texture is milky. This one feels like a coat of paint on my skin since it's very water/sweat resistant, and is hard to remove. But the protection is excellent and it's good for outdoor sports, because it's so tenacious. Probably not good for daily use.
