Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
Water. It's the most common cosmetic ingredient of all. You'll usually see it at the top of ingredient lists, meaning that it makes up the largest part of the product.
So why is it so popular? Water most often acts as a solvent - this means that it helps dissolve other ingredients into the formulation.
You'll also recognize water as that liquid we all need to stay alive. If you see this, drink a glass of water. Stay hydrated!
Learn more about WaterDicaprylyl Ether is created from caprylic acid. It is a texture-enhancer and emollient.
As an emollient, Dicaprylyl Ether is non-comedogenic. It helps soften and smooth the skin by creating a barrier on top. This barrier helps trap moisture in, helping to hydrate the skin.
Dicaprylyl Ether gives a non-greasy feel and better spreadability to products.

Biore UV Aqua Rich Weightless Moisturizer SPF 50 27 ingredients
Best sunscreen I’ve ever used, and perhaps my favourite skincare product ever, period. I love its light, fresh smell and how deeply hydrating it is. It leaves my skin feeling firm and supple at the same time, and imbues it with an instant glow and brightness that lasts for the entire day. This will definitely be my go-to cold weather sunscreen from now on—could not recommend this more.
Got this version after the Japanese 2017 one, and I like it way less. It is lighter, less oily and smells like citrus (which I dislike). In general, I think it still does its job well, but it's a worse fit for me.
