Why is ALLIE Sunscreen So Popular?

ALLIE Sunscreen is an over-the-counter sunscreen brand launched by Kanebo. In addition to the peace of mind provided by a well-known brand, ALLIE Sunscreen has secured its place as a popular OTC sunscreen product due to five major features!

The 5 Major Features of Kanebo ALLIE Sunscreen Series

Feature 1: Free of UV Absorber Octyl Methoxycinnamate (OMC)

Some countries and regions have regulations prohibiting the inclusion of UV absorber Octyl Methoxycinnamate (OMC). The entire ALLIE sunscreen series is OMC-free, making it safe to use.

Feature 2: Water, Sweat, and Friction Resistant

Feature 3: Refreshingly Light and Non-Sticky, No White Cast

Thanks to the action of gelling agents in the oil layer, a mesh-like membrane is formed, ensuring the UV scattering agents are evenly distributed. Despite providing a high sun protection factor of SPF50+・PA++++, it remains non-sticky and leaves no white cast.

Feature 4: Environmentally Friendly Packaging Materials

Uses environmentally friendly packaging materials such as bioplastics to reduce plastic usage.

Feature 5: Rich Variety of Textures and Colors

Offers a diverse range of textures, finishes, and colors in their sunscreen products. There are even localized makeup sunscreen products. Each series provides different makeup effects! Users can choose based on the area of application and specific needs.

How to Choose ALLIE Sunscreen?

As of 2024, with the addition of two new products, the ALLIE sunscreen series now includes four major series with a total of 14 products! How should you choose the right one? Here is a comprehensive guide to the key points for selecting the right product.
All products in the series offer high sun protection factors of "SPF50+・PA++++" and features such as "Waterproof, Oil-proof, and Friction-resistant." The main differences lie in texture, makeup finish, whether it's for full-body application, color options, and fragrance choices. You can refer to the comparison chart below to make your selection!

Features & Usage Experience of ALLIE Series

Now, let’s fully analyze how to choose between different series based on the editor’s personal usage experience and Japanese users' reviews!

ALLIE Filter Color Adjusting UV Series [Tinted Sunscreen Cream]

This series focuses on providing a sunscreen that eliminates the need for foundation! In addition to offering multiple color-tinting options, the unique pore-blurring capsules adhere to uneven skin surfaces, correcting pores, dullness, dark circles, and uneven skin tone. Testing confirms an 8-hour long-lasting wear, making it a boon for those looking for a low-maintenance beauty routine!

Features of the Filter Tone-Up UV Series

☑️ Three tone-up effects to choose from
☑️ Can be used as a lightweight foundation or a no-makeup look cream
☑️ Pore capsules that adhere to uneven surfaces, covering pores, dullness, dark circles, and uneven skin tone
☑️ Resistant to friction, sweat, water, and sebum, ensuring no shine or makeup smudging for up to 8 hours
☑️ Prevents adhesion of dust, PM2.5, pollen, and other particles
☑️ Elegant and premium fragrance

• Sun Protection Factor: SPF50+ PA++++
• Texture: Similar to sunscreen cream
• Fragrance:
  • 01 Hydrangea Dew & Sage
  • 02 Apricot & Osmanthus
  • 03 Citrus Wood & Patchouli
• Usage Experience: The cream has average fluidity, and once set, it does not feel sticky, providing a slightly matte finish.
• Recommended For: Those who want a light base makeup without additional foundation, dislike frequent touch-ups due to makeup rub-off. Ideal for people looking to correct pores and skin tone while providing sun protection. Perfect for a low-maintenance, all-in-one product!
• Caution For: Those with skin tones that may not suit the violet tint (e.g., pinkish white, yellowish, or dark skin should choose carefully). Due to its low fluidity, it’s not very suitable for full-body application. If you strictly want a product without any makeup effect or to share with men, choose cautiously. If you already have makeup and plan to layer more foundation to cover imperfections, be careful to avoid excessive thickness or whiteness.

ALLIE Sunscreen EX Series [Colorless and Fragrance-Free]
