"The king of cost performance" has always been the annotation of Birou, and the affordable price and good skin feel have won it many users. The water sense series is a representative, the use experience is good, but in terms of sun protection is relatively weak, irritation is high, although it is not an excellent sunscreen product, but it is a better choice in the same price of products. The new version of the water-based sunscreen launched in 2019 still continues the original characteristics of the skin-friendly weak sunscreen, but it is still improved. For the first time, the new version of the product uses Micro Defense technology, also known as micron protection, which claims to make the film uniform and complete. In terms of formula, the 2019 version of water-based sunscreen adds moisturizing ingredients such as hyaluronic acid and royal jelly extract to make it more moisturizing.
 
Water-based sunscreen is the most classic series of Bior, the tubular water-based sunscreen essence is commonly known as the "little blue tube", and the nickname of the sunscreen gel is "little blue bottle". In 2019, Biore launched a new model with the addition of the words UV AquaRich on the packaging, but the sunscreen has basically not been adjusted, and the protection remains the same, which is only suitable for daily commuting. Another thing that remains unchanged is that the alcohol content is still high, and flavors and preservatives are also added, so sensitive skin should be used with caution.
 
The small blue tube is still an emulsion-like texture, light and easy to push, more moisturized, and there is no whitening phenomenon as a pure chemical sunscreen, but for white skin, the skin tone may become dull, which is related to the oxidation of some chemical sunscreens. In addition, some users will also have the phenomenon of mud rubbing, it is recommended not to push back and forth when using, just apply lightly. The skin feel of the little blue bottle is also the same as the old version, refreshing and lubricated, and the film is formed quickly, but it is slightly white, and the sunscreen also contains white particles, and it is easy to produce white sweat in summer, so it is not recommended to put it on the face. Both products are known for their cost performance, the blue tube 50g is priced at about 60 yuan, while the blue bottle is about 70 yuan 90ml, which is really a "cheap bowl".
 
"Affordable but not protective" is also Birou's label, and the high-end line UV Athlizm series launched in 2019 focuses on high-intensity sunscreen and strives to tear off this label. Durable Outer skin and Tough boost are the two core technologies of the Athlizm series, which simply make the film fit firmly, and at the same time waterproof, sweat and friction resistant. Athlizm has two products, one is the protective essence "red tube", and the other is the protective lotion "red bottle", and the red and black packaging is very eye-catching. Both have SPF50 and PA protection, but the actual sun protection is different. The sunscreen added to the red tube is similar to the water series, which is more suitable as a commuting or recoating product in autumn and winter, while the red bottle adds ingredients such as zinc oxide, which is a physicochemical combination of sunscreen, which can meet the sunscreen needs of outdoor activities in summer.
 
In terms of user experience, the red tube continues the advantages of Biore in terms of skin feel, with a thin texture, very easy to push away, and a fast film, not whitening mud, and has a certain degree of moisturization, as well as a faint floral fragrance. The red bottle is a rocker, which is also smooth and refreshing, only slightly white, and the problem of oily shine and plucking is not common. Since the moisturizing effect is acceptable and does not rub mud, the red bottle will not affect the subsequent makeup. As a high-end line of Birou, the price of the Athlizm series is about twice that of other products, and the Japanese currency is about 120 yuan per piece, with a red tube capacity of 70g and a red bottle of 65g. However, compared to most brands of sunscreen products, the Athlizm range is still affordable.
 
In addition to the Water Sense series and Athlizm series, Biore also has a wide range of sun protection options. While most of Biore's products are not low in alcohol, Mild Sunscreen contains no added alcohol or fragrance, and contains soothing ingredients, which is relatively mild, but has weak sun protection. If you have oily skin and have severe oiliness in summer, you may want to try an oil-controlling and refreshing sunscreen.
