Ultra lightweight and hydrating sunscreen from Althea: "Petal Velvet Sunaway"

After the much-loved Real Fresh Skin Detoxers, Althea Korea quickly came up with another "essential" skincare product, which a lot have been requesting for since the release of their exclusives---a sunscreen!

Though there are a lot of sunscreen products from different Korean brands, the Petal Velvet Sunaway is definitely a cut above the rest. Want to know why? Well keep on reading :) 

THE PRODUCT

Petal Velvet Sunaway has SPF 50+ and PA++++, that comes in a matte-finish, 50ml bottle.  The packaging is simple, yet hygienic and spill-proof. Ingredients list and instruction (on the box and bottle) are mostly written in Hangul, while the expiration date is stamped at the bottom of the container. More so, it is easy to dispense and control the amount of the product because the bottle's snout is really tiny. Just make sure to shake well before using. 

The product contains the following main ingredients: Damask rose extracts, Hyaluronic acid, and Geranium oil (can heal acne). It incorporates a non-chemical UV filter, which makes it suitable even for sensitive skin. And as part of Althea's Petal Velvet line, it contains micro-powder particles. Plus, it is also cruelty-free. 

The liquid has a smooth, thin consistency, making it a bit runny. It is translucent white in color, and smells like rose. When applied to the skin, the product is easily absorbed, leaving a soft, smooth and non-sticky feeling. Looking at the mirror, it's as if you did not applied anything on your face, unless you touch it.  

THE VERDICT

I'm in love with Petal Velvet! It is indeed (allow me to exaggerate) the most lightweight, hydrating and good-smelling sunscreen that I've ever tried! I was a bit worried at first, since the liquid is too runny for me, but it did a great job on my skin. Here are some of my thoughts

• The product is easy to apply, not heavy and sits on the skin pretty well. Though it doesn't improve the skin tone (since it's not a tinted sunscreen), you'll notice a better texture and a little bit of glow on your skin. 

• I tried wearing it as my makeup base (no primer), and I was so surprised because it managed to make my skin look fresh and hydrated, even after hours with no touch-ups. Yes! There was lesser oil build-up on my T-zone!

• I'm hooked with the scent, really. Applying it on my skin has become a ritual that I've been looking forward too as I end my daily skincare routine. It's good to feel at ease with the product that you put on your face; knowing that it contains natural ingredients which won't take a cost on you in the future. 

• Lastly, I'm happy because it was priced just right. Everybody will get a chance to try the product and make it a staple in their beauty routine. 

There you have it! I hope you enjoyed this post as much as I did. I highly recommend this product to everyone, especially if you are looking for a sunscreen that is lightweight and can effectively control sebum. You won't regret buying this for sure!
