Shigaisen Yohou UV Sarasara Gel SPF30 PA+++

Here's another study in contrast: this 250g pump bottle of Shigaisen Yohou UV Sarasara Gel SPF30 PA+++ versus the terrible Mama Aqua Savon UV Moisture Gel Coral Safe. My boys just finished up this Shigaisen Yohou bottle and apparently they really liked it! I tried it a few times myself as I was cleaning out the last bit left in the bottle and I totally see why. 

Note: this is for the older version with SPF30 PA+++. The newest version has 260g of product and SPF45 PA+++, slightly more product with notably higher sun protection, which makes this sunscreen all the better in my opinion.  

Boscia Cica Soothing Universal Cream

Among the last order I placed with Boscia before they closed up their North American chapter was this big 100mL/3.4fl. oz. tube of Cica Soothing Universal Cream. By this point, Cica (Centella asiatica) has become a super trendy ingredient. I'd seen it everywhere and everybody and their sisters and brothers have some kind of Cica product to offer. But I figured I'd start with Boscia since I've used their products for decades now and trust the brand more so than some "hip" beauty brand I've never heard of. Little did I know that some months later, Boscia would fold T.T

Dr. Roebuck's Bondi Hydrating Mist

Almost done with this 50mL/1.7fl. oz. spray bottle of Dr. Roebuck's Bondi Hydrating Mist, which came from the Pack Up and Glow Discovery Kit. 

Well, the first thing I can tell you that this mist smells like pina colada, which is not something I'd think to spray all over my face. But otherwise it's okay, not really moisturizing and unremarkable. will not repurchase. ^.^" 

Yu-Be Hydrating Face Wash

Here's a fantastic non-foaming cleanser that's unfortunately been discontinued: this 200mL/6.8oz. bottle of Yu-Be Hydrating Face Wash. 

DHC By the Sea Mineral Cream

Finished this 50g/1.7oz. jar of DHC By the Sea Mineral Cream a few weeks ago. This was a pretty straightforward cream so it'll be a short post. 

The cream was light and unscented but was surprisingly moisturizing. I used it as part of my morning routine and it layered pretty well under my primer and waterproof sunscreen. Honestly, I couldn't tell the difference between this cream and the Urumai Cream, which was probably why DHC discontinued the Urumai line. So if you just want a moisturizing face cream and can catch this on sale then by all means try it, but don't go out of your way for it.

Holifrog Kissimmee Vitamin F Cleansing Balm

After The Organic Pharmacy Rose Diamond Exfoliating Cleanser, I moved on to this 100mL/3.4fl. oz. tube of Holifrog Kissimmee Vitamin F Cleansing Balm and finished it in 2 weeks.  

The Organic Pharmacy Rose Diamond Exfoliating Cleanser

Finished this 50mL/1.7fl. oz. pump bottle of The Organic Pharmacy Rose Diamond Exfoliating Cleanser a while ago and am playing catch-up as always. 

Yu-Be Foaming Skin Polish

A few years after buying this Yu-Be Deluxe Gift Set, hubby and I are finally getting to the few full-sizes from the set, starting with this 200mL/6.75fl. oz. tube of Foaming Skin Polish.

Tsubakido Moisture Cream

Almost finished with the last of these four Tsubakido Moisture Creams so I guess it's time to post this review for them. Like Kyobian, Tsubakido is a toiletry brand under Kyoto Kurochiku and they make face creams, hand creams, body creams, etc. Anyway, there are four different varieties of this Moisture Cream, 30g each in a cute and functional jar: EGF & Silk, Ceramide & Pearl, Arbutin & Uji Matcha, and Shea Butter & Yuzu and I've used all four.

Cle de Peau Beaute Cleansing Cream Oil

Finished with this 130mL/4.2oz. tube of Cle de Peau Beaute Cleansing Cream Oil a couple of weeks ago so post this now before it gets buried in my draft folder.
