La Roche-Posay Uvidea XL Aqua Fresh Gel SPF50/PA++++(PPD21) - $30.90 for 1oz (shipping included)AQUA / WATER, ALCOHOL DENAT, DIISOPROPYL SEBACATE, ISOPROPYL LAUROYL SARCOSINATE, ETHYLHEXYL TRIAZONE, BIS-ETHYLHEXYLOXYPHENOL METHOXYPHENYL TRIAZINE, PROPYLENE GLYCOL, DIETHYLAMINO HYDROXYBENZOYL HEXYL BENZOATE, TITANIUM DIOXIDE, GLYCERIN, METHYL METHACRYLATE CROSSPOLYMER, DROMETRIZOLE TRISILOXANE Fragance:CeraVe and LRP have no fragrance while Biore does.Alcohol:CeraVe does not contain alcohol while LRP and Biore do. Biore has a strong alcoholic scent (and stings my eyes) while the alcohol content in LRP is not noticeable.ColorCeraVe and LRP have a light yellow tint while Biore has more of a cream color.Consistency:Biore has a gel-like texture. LRP feels like a cream moisturiser that is similar to La Mer soft cream. CeraVe is a paste.Spreadability:Biore and LRP are easily spreadable. CeraVe is difficult to spread, forms lumps and cannot be spread evenly.Finish:CeraVe sits on the skin and remains a pile of cream-colored gunk no matter how long I leave it on. It pills upon application of any makeup above it.Biore settles into the skin within 3-5 minutes. White cast is present but barely noticeable. It is non-drying and finishes slightly dewy afterwards. Foundation friendly, can replace base. When I don't put on make-up I find it necessary to apply loose powder over it so that it looks matte.LRP takes 5-8 minutes to settle into the skin. A barely noticeable white cast is present and it has a nice even texture. It is non-drying and finishes slightly more dewy than Biore. Foundation-friendly and can replace base.Removal:All three sunscreens can be removed by Cetaphil cleanser, but CeraVe requires more rubbing than the other two sunscreens. You should be able to wash off all three with a regular body wash.Final thoughts:I don't know why I still haven't thrown away the CeraVe AM. I should have done so earlier.Both LRP and Biore are nice sunscreens. Although there are many Japanese sunscreens that have comparable or better performance, Biore should be one of the best choice within this price range.LRP is known to have a wide range of sunscreens with different consistencies and added functions. They are also well known for making high PPD sunscreens (good UVA protection). Uvidea Aqua Fresh Gel is indeed a very good sunscreen. Being a Japanese-based line under La Roche Posay, it is very well balanced between good UVA protection typical of an European sunscreen and user-friendly consistency of a Japanese sunscreen, but I am expecting more from it with its high price.
