Love. Another product I wouldn't have ever realized existed but for the reviews here. I found it online but I might try looking for it in Japantown next time. I put it on a 8am and it's now almost 7pm and haven't used my oil blotting papers once.
I've been using primers (several different kinds, not really happy with any) during the winter but thought with summer coming I'd try something new and so glad I did. I am absoultely in love with this stuff.

Sofina HADA KA UV Protect Moisturizer, SPF24 + PA + + + .
These are the ingredients I foound online for the spf 50: Ingredient List: Water, Cyclomethicone, Dimethicone, Zinc Oxide, Alcohol,, ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate,, Glycerin,, Talc, Polymethylsilsesquioxane, Lauryl methacrylate / glycol dimethacrylate copolymer, Polysilicone-9,, Thujopsis dolabrata Extract, Althaea officinalis extract, Eucalyptus globulus extract,, Cetyl-PG hydroxyethyl Palmitamide, BIS-Methoxypropylamido Isodocosane, ceramide 2, hydroxyethyl Isopropanolamine Isostearyl oxy, Butylene Glycol, Hydroxydecanoic acid, cholesterol, Titanium Dioxide, Silica, Alumina, aluminum hydroxide, Palmitic Acid, PEG-12 Dimethicone, PEG-3 Dimethicone, Methicone
I got this because I found a site that sells Japanese products that explained that this was Sofina's line for unbalanced skin that was oily but dehydrated and had coarse pores, etc. That's me! (dammit). Adambeauty only had the spf 24 in stock, so I thought I'd get it for lighter sun exposure days. I love it, period. I have only tried it twice, but it's like a very wearable, more moisturizing version of Sofina UV Perfect Lucent. But it's still extremely light and watery. There are some ingredients to help with barrier function (Kao brands, the parent company, uses Cetyl-PG hydroxyethyl Palmitamide in a lot of their products, it's a pseudo-ceramide, and they have ceramide-2, cholesterol, and the Eucalyptus extract (Kao has a patent on it, I believe, and it's supposedly a stimulator for the skin to produce more of its own ceramides). I have to give it to the Kao brands, and the Sofina sunblocks, they are great for oily skins! They go on smoothly, and are not white, but are very durable and they make my skin look amazing. My skin but a lot healthier and more balanced. It may be cosmetic, but if I'm gettting sunscreen protection at the same time, then I'm happy. I can't wait to try the spf 50+, PA+++.

This is the only sunscreen I use, it was reccommended by the sales lady at the counter. This sunscreen is like a creamy milk consistency, and goes on very smoothly. I use this at SPF 50++, and it's really good. I use this for my face and the Sofina White Protect for my body. This sunscreen is waterproof, moisturizing, evens out skin tone, is not oily or greasy, and can be used as a makeup base. I don't wear any foundation, so I just apply this, and put my powder over it. I use this everyday and cannot live without it. The price is acceptable, and I would definitely buy this product again.

I have been using Sofina's sunscreens for like 3 years already and I have tried most of their SPF24 sunscreens, including very very, rise, vital rich. I'd say the Hadaka one is the best among all for me! This not only leaves a dry matte feeling on my face, but is also good in oil control. I got way less oil when compared to the other sunscreens I tried. However, don't expect too much for the moisturizing effect despite of its name. The moisturizing effect is weaker when compared to other sunscreens from the same brand though I think it's acceptable, esp for the humid s/s in Hong Kong.

This contains ethyl alcohol but interestingly this didn't cause any outbreak or problems on my skin as the very very version. Also, I was told that this can be used as an makeup base as well. :) The texture is similar to the Raycious one in the bottle.

This is better for a make-up base rather than a moisturizer. In hotter and humid climates, it may be more moisturizing. When it's below minus 10 degrees outside, I need to use a lotion underneath then this on top. However, my skin feels incredibly smooth, and not oily at all (I am usually very very oily!!). I think I should save my money on makeup bases from now on. Make-up application seems to be easier afterwards. This moisturizer doesn't seem silicone-y like other makeup bases! I have much fewer breakouts after using this. Also got very very uv milk and Sofina UV nuance ...Let me finish this one and I'll see how those work in summer. It's kinda expensive at about 33 CDN for a 30mL size of watery liquid, but I think it is definitely worth it!
