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!
