So I bought this thinking it was mainly camellia seed oil but it’s just 68.1%! (I mean at least it’s over 50% lol) On the product info page under ingredients, just lists camellia oil so don’t be fooled by that!
Otherwise, it sinks in really quickly and is quite a runny oil. Very thin and doesn’t leave an oily residue. A little goes a long way! After you rub it into your skin, and wait like 30 sec, you’ll see it just soaks into your skin and makes it feel very soft and smooth. I look forward to using it longer! Scent wise, it smells..floral and a bit sweet. Not like sugar sweet. Almost like that sweet pea scent. But barely. And as it fades away, a bit earthy..? It’s not an overpowe…[Read more]
So I’ve been using this a couple days trying to figure out how I feel about this. Comparing them to the other two sunscreens I bought and loved (earths recipe and the a’pieu sun cream) this is the most mediocre for me. I just don’t get as much joy from using this sunscreen. It’s still a good suncreen because it’s not oily, no white cast, no pilling, no sinking into pores. The frangrance is nice but I like those other two way more. I think between the two gel type sunscreens, I prefer earths recipe. That one is a better formulation I feel. But the price of this sunscreen is really great, especially when it’s on sale right now! I think it’s definitely a good sunscreen to get for every…[Read more]
I’m also on the fence about this one! I love the pure block natural sun cream and the earth’s recipe. I’m keeping this guy at my desk at work to reapply throughout the day and that has actually made me like it a little bit better?
Used the A’PIEU Pure Block Natural Sun Cream SPF 45 PA+++ today. Wow! This sinks in fast! It’s a thick cream but once you spread it, it disappears into your skin quickly and doesn’t leave any trace! And if you wait a couple minutes, it dries to a soft finish. Love this one! Also has a really light fragrance. A bit citrus but very subtle and relaxing. A bit like aromatherapy 😄
This one and the earths recipe sun gel are both really great! I enjoy using both and would definitely buy again! I’ll post again once I try out the other A’PIEU Aqua Sun Gel.
They really seem to know what they’re doing when it comes it their sunscreen! I need to try the Aqua Gel after all the rave reviews from the staff at Beautytap.
I just tried it for the last couple days, it’s also good but I think I prefer the gel texture of the earths recipe! I think for the price, you should def go for it!
This is one of my favorites, too! Citrus is one of a handful of scents I like (and can tolerate without getting a headache), and I adore this one (and the A’Pieu Sun Gel, which dries faster).
Great sunscreen! Thanks for the recommendation beauty editors! This makes applying sunscreen a fun and joyous step. The smell is so nice and waterful 😛 I only wish it came in a larger tube! Can’t wait to test out the a’pieu sunscreens I got! Will update when I try the other two and conclude which I like best! I feel like I’ve never enjoyed putting on sunscreen until today! 😂
Isn’t it amazing hchillin??? I actually bemoaned the fact that it was such a small tube until I checked the actual mL. It’s the same as A’Pieu and other sunscreens in that similar tube! Part of what I love about the Sun Gel (other than the actual product itself) is the cute packaging!

Same here! Sometimes added fragrances can be overwhelming for me but these sunscreens smell so lovely!

Yes! The packaging is so cute! And the shape of tube actually makes it easier to bring in my makeup bag. And you’re right about it being the same mL!
