FYI I have oily scalp and dry hair at the same time. After I browse to a lot of sources in internet, 

I find out that the hair scalp need to scrubbing because the scalp has more hair follicles and grease glands, so it can quickly lead to build up of dead skin and sebum that can make you hair become flaky, greasy and also itchy. " Just like exfoliating the skin on your face, a good scrub will physically remove dead skin cells or dandruff from the scalp surface, which then allows the proper penetration of ingredients in other hair and scalp products used says London hair and scalp specialist, Dr.Sharon Wong. I tried to find the hair scrub in the drugstore near my house then I found out that The Body Shop has Green Tea Hair Scrub, without any doubt I immediately buy this hair scrub.

Claim TBS Fuji Green Tea Hair Scrub.

Today I'm going to review and also compare new and old version of Biore UV AQUA Watery Essence 50+/PA++++

This is my holygrail sunscreen so far. This is the second time I repurchased this product, so yeah lets take a look of this product.

Biore UV AQUA Watery Essence SPF 50+/PA++++ Old vs New

Comparison New vs Old

The Packaging

Kalau dilihat dari packaging nya ada perbedaan, yang pertama adalah warna dari packaging.

Bisa dilihat kalau new version punya tube warna biru gradasi sedangkan old version tube nya berwarna hijau tosca. Bahan tube nya juga beda, kalau new version tube nya terbuat dari bahan plastik licin sedangkan yang old version lama aku ngga tau bahan nya apa cuma keset hahaha

Tulisan Biore UV nya juga beda warna yaah new version warna biru dan old version warna nya orange.

Ingredients

Secara garis besar ingredients new version and old version almost the same. Dengan 3 kandungan terbesar yaitu Water (aqua), Alcohol dan Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate. Cuma yg aku notice new version punya kandungan alkohol yang lebih banyak dibandingkan sama old version nya.

Where to buy and price

Kalian bisa dapati Biore UV AQUA Watery Essence SPF 50+/PA++++ di drugstore dengan harga 120 ribu rupiah, dan sunscreen ini dikemas dalam 50 gram.

Result

Okay perbedaan new version dengan old version itu ada pada .......

New version tahan terhadap keringat dan air, jadi ini tidak akan mudah terhapus ketika kalian berkeringat ataupun terkena air. Untuk tekstur masih seperti dulu yaitu watery essence dengan kandungan Hyaluronc acid, Royal Jelly dan campuran ekstrak citrus yang masih terasa di aroma suncsreen ini. Oh iya diketerangan di new version ini diformulasikan dengan water capsule, jujur aku juga belum tahu maksud dari water capsule ini apa. One more information, karena water proof sunscreen punya daya tahan yang tinggi terhadap keringat dan air, namun konon katanya ini mudah dibersihkan dengan facial/body foam biasa. Water resistance nya bisa tahan selama 80 menit loh. Untuk formula dari sunscreen nya sendiri juga berbeda, aku merasa new version memiliki daya serap yang lebih cepat dibandingkan dengan yang old version, dari warna nya juga sedikit berbeda. Old version punya warna kuning yang lebih pekat dibandingkan new version.

New version pro (+) : more watery, daya resap nya cepat, tahan terhadap air dan juga keringat

New version cond (-) : contain more alcohol.
