Anessa Perfect UV Sunscreen Skincare Collection

Shopping Guide May 2022 Skincare Anessa Perfect UV Sunscreen Skincare Collection

One of our go-to sunscreen brands has received a reformulation, and we’re curious as to how our skin can better benefit from the new products.

It features their new Auto Booster Technology, which reacts with sweat, heat, water, and moisture in the air to give us stronger and longer-lasting UV protection.  The result is an increase in water and sweat resistance.

The Anessa Perfect UV Sunscreen Skincare Milk allows you to get your daily dose of vitamin D with none of the sun damage. We’re especially excited to learn that it’s now reef-safe, ocean-safe, and packaged in bio-based plastic, so it’s good for you and the environment!

There’s also the Anessa Perfect UV Sunscreen Skincare Gel, which is a weightless, watery yet highly water-resistant gel texture with no stickiness and runoff, perfect for outdoor sports.

If you’re looking for an easy way to reapply your sunscreen, why not go for the Anessa Perfect UV Sunscreen Skincare Spray? Non-sticky and hydrating, it’s suitable for the scalp, face, and body, and provides 360 degrees UV protection with SPF50+ PA++++.

The Anessa Perfect UV Sunscreen Skincare Milk retails for RM129.80, Anessa Perfect UV Sunscreen Skincare Gel for RM150.80, and Anessa Perfect Sunscreen Skincare Spray for RM113.10 on Shopee, Lazada, and Watsons.
