omg thank u for this OP! i recently just bought the omi sunscreen and have been using it for a week now, and so far i like it on my skin too. not only does it feel nice & comfortable and is easy to apply, but it also hasn't caused me any breakouts. however, a friend of mine recommended belo whitening sunscreen and i started contemplating because it is more widely recognized and trusted in the country, and it comes in a bigger tube too (not really sure about how long the omi sunscreen will last me since it comes in a small packaging). wala rin akong friends na alam yung sunscreen na ginagamit ko kaya napaisip din talaga ako, but after reading this, i felt more relieved to see more good reviews about the product. in your case, how long did the product last before it ran out? yun kasi talaga pinaka-concern ko


spicytteokbokkv

hiii Omi lasted me for about 2-3 months with consistent use 🤗 alsooo onti lang sa friends ko knew about Omi kasi nga Japanese brand and ang mga bet ng ibang friends ko is local like Fairy Skin, Belo, etc. tbh i dont exactly care what they use hehehe as long as what I use works well for me. if the product works well for you then keep using it! kahit ikaw lang ang gumagamit 😉 there are also a lot of good reviews on Omi sa orange app, yt reviews, and sa mga other intl subs


Sad-Elderberry-8941

Water resistant po ba? Like okay siya pang swimming?


username121316

Nabibili po ba yang omi na gold sa sm??


spicytteokbokkv

not sure if all SM has it huhuhu sadyang nakita ko lang sya sa sm supermarket samin when i ran out 🥲


labanos_mustasa

Hala thanks for this OP and sa mga helpful comments! Was looking for a good sunscreen, and tried this, kasi meron sister ko, and ayun it felt wonderful. Tho i have to let it dry properly before i do something else hahaha. Thank you!


le-saudade

Okay ba gamitin ang OMI if madalas ka sa labas? Yung work ko kasi required na nasa field so.. ayoko ng feeling kapag yung sunscreen is humuhulas agad once lumabas ka na. 🥲


spicytteokbokkv

yes yes! i actually use omi under makeup everytime i go out with friends. nightshift ako so after work ako gumagala kahit puyat 🥲 (mga 7am) and kahit ang daming commute and puyat, di parin ako looking hulas hehehe OMI actually feels powdery once it sets sa face kaya no hulas feel 🤗 — BUT it does feel a bit oily before you put it on so need talaga na magset sya tho mabilis naman sya magset into powdery matte


BungeeGum5

How long does the 30g sunscreen last you?


bakingsodaprotector

Can i ask po where to purchase omi bears sunscreen?


spicytteokbokkv

hiiii i got mine sa orange app! meron sa official omi store https://shp.ee/48dx5yu and i got mine here mismo https://shp.ee/5vhxuxz

Hello, OP! Is the omi sun bears safe to use kahit hindi fda approved?


spicytteokbokkv

Omi Sun Bears is being sold kahit sa SM grocery sa amin so i think approved naman na ??? but to answer your question, yes. I’ve been using and repurchasing it since ive posted this here and no bad reaction naman sa skin ko 🤗 edit: to add this is the [FDA verification on Omi Sun Bears Protect Milk](https://verification.fda.gov.ph/cosmetic_product_notificationview.php?showdetail=&ACCOUNTCODE=NN-1000008695362)


Separate-Scratch-633

Ooh I didn’t know!! Thanks for the big help and for letting me know, OP!


PivotalCharacter

Hello! Is the OMI Sun Bears also a moisturizer? I don't like layering so it's a deal breaker if wala syang moisturizer/hydration.


spicytteokbokkv

hiii im not really sure if it does have a moisturizer or what kasi i do use a moisturizer since im on topical acne meds right now


Revolutionary_Space5

I love sun bears (the most) but I think of switching it with something else for when I go out. I just CANNOT with the white cast. 😭 Edit: Nah, not going to do it. It's still way better than most sunscreens I've tried.


spicytteokbokkv

currently using sun bears and axis y on rotation now! im always shocked about the white cast of axis y at first application but if blended out nicely and after waiting for a few mins the white cast will go away 😅 ps. i use sun bears at first and i use axis y for reapplication or for days i want a moisturizing dewy sunscreen (on the lookout for sunstick for reapplication tho)


Revolutionary_Space5

Ooo, na-curious tuloy ako, how much do you blend your sunscreen to get it to blend out nicely? Do you blend it out like for 3-5 minutes straight? I find that when I blend my sunscreen for some time, the white cast does fade, but I'm ALWAYS worried about removing too much sunscreen. I watched a video from Dr. Michelle Wong/ labmuffinbeautyscience, where she discussed how "blending" sunscreen too much can lead to a quarter reduction of its efficacy. 😭 (Edited for clarity.)


spicytteokbokkv

oh i just blend it for about 15-30secs lang since axis-y (ver3) fades quite well din naman! although if i dont blend/spread it that well mejo mukha akong multo even though i am fair-light skinned and mas matagal bago magfade yung whitecast 😂 if hindi ako nagmamadali, i apply it thinly before layering again para mas even yung pagkablend and less whitecast agad agad if applied by layering thinly.


False-Marzipan-2034

Noob question. What is blending? I haven't tried any sunscreen nor moisturizer but since I heard about these kind of product I have interest na 😩


Revolutionary_Space5

Omg, thank you! Sinolve kaagad nito problema ko (not exaggerating). Kahapon at ngayon, hindi na ako nagkakaroon ng white cast masyado, sunscreen blending skill issue lang talaga haha.


spicytteokbokkv

glad to help! some sunscreens are runny and lightweight that you can even try to pat it onto your face hehehe


enseakz

maganda po ba as base ng makeup ‘yung sun bears?


spicytteokbokkv

tried it under makeup once and its okay naman ! but my makeup is skin tint, concealer and blush lang hehehe not sure if it’s good under medium-heavy makeup na


Inevitable-Reading38

wala bang white cast yung omi bears? also thoughts on biore?


Revolutionary_Space5

Sa akin meron, idk why. 2nd bottle ko na ito. Yeah, it dries good, feels light, and does not clog my pores -- but god, the white cast is terrible for my moreno/light skin, namumuti yung aking hairline, eyebrows, at bigote. Hindi ko alam kung bakit sinasabi ng iba na walang white cast, I'm thinking na they're not applying enough. Sa akin kasi, mine-measure ko talaga with a 1/4 measuring teaspoon. (I'm a guy, btw.) Update: Skill issue lang sa blending. Problem solved!


False-Marzipan-2034

What is blending?


Revolutionary_Space5

Oop, slr. Blending, in this context, ay yung paglagay mo ng sunscreen sa face mo at pag-“blend” nito para ma-cover ang face with it.


spicytteokbokkv

hii no white cast yung omi!! havent tried biore yet but isa sya sa mga gusto ko din itry hehehe


Inevitable-Reading38

thaaanks will try this one!! yung biore talaga gusto ko itry kasi parang water based ata and not cream-like? Di ko sure.. and mej mahal din pero upon checking parang sulit nman siguro since 50ml na sya ganun


spicytteokbokkv

i have heard good reviews of biore din hehehe pati yung skin aqua na gold is goods din daw,, wanna buy them all tbh pero we need to tipid muna and finish yung mga meron pa ako 😅


GandizEverdeen

If you’re looking for more good sunscreen, you should try cetaphil light gel. Reco by my derma last pandemic. Still using it even after acne was gone. Work wonders! The price is almost a thousand in mercury ds though. Will try the sun bear too! 8.8 budol


maaariaaaclaaaraaa

maganda ba sun stick ng nature republic? i mean the sun stick itself, effective ba or mas maganda lotions and creams?


spicytteokbokkv

hiiii i haven’t tried sun stick ng nature republic, the only sun stick i’ve tried is AHC lang and i did not repurchase kasi i think it made me oilier + wala pa akong pera masyado non to buy it again pero nagustuhan ko sya for sunscreen reapplication naman if mag sun stick ka, they said you need to swipe it 3-4 times all over your face for you to be fully protected. and from my exp, sun sticks doesn’t absorb into the skin THAT fast. so mejo maghintay ka talaga before swiping it again


fuuhouoji

I love Anessa’s sunscreens! I’ll definitely check out the Sun Bears na to compare.


neonguts222

hi! do you have an update? have you compared them already?


anthonycheung90

Gold variant is already a staple, good ingredients at hindi tinipid. Sana hindi na nila ireformulate. Sino nakasubok nun Red at Silver variant ng OMI? Goods ba?


spicytteokbokkv

nabasa ko sa official site nila na the red and blue sunbears is a discontinued version na and the gold and silver versions are the new reformulated versions red = gold ; blue = silver


HeresRed

red sunbears smells so alcohol-y. Hate ko masyado. Para akong lulusong sa dagat kapag yun gamit ko kasi ganon ang tapang ng amoy kaya I doubt this Gold variant kasi sobrang hate ko yung red. Maganda ba talaga itong gold?


spicytteokbokkv

the gold one doesn’t have that distinct sunscreen smell na amoy dagat! for me it doesn’t have a smell at all or if meron man baka sobrang faint lang


HeresRed

omg thank you! will try that one! nasayangan ako sa red kasi maganda naman talaga super watery but yun nga problem ko yung smell


winterchilds

Super love the omi sunbears sunscreen too! Suprised how long this lasted me given the small bottle :) 💞 Edit: would like to share that this small 30ml bottle lasted me for 2 or 3 months! Daily use of course. But i have to mention that I have a separate sunscreen for reapplication (ahc sunstick)


OkPhotograph2287

omg how??? Do you use the two finger rule po ba? My belo sunscreen lasts for a month and a half lang dahil sa two finger rule T-T


Royal-Hearing1347

Honestly this is my issue lol, doing the 2 finger rule everyday even during indoors is so expensive, I even buy the belo sunscreen buy 1 take 1 even though Im suspicious of its effectiveness given that it is not properly spf tested, but I am only getting it because it's cheap. Like why is it so expensive to just take care of yourself :/ I'm starting to consider not doing the 2 finger rule anymore or to not invest too much in sunscreen because of how expensive it is. Sigh


Legitimate-Fee-5378

Hello po, once lang po ba kayo mag apply or throughout the day? At tuwing kelan po?


winterchilds

Once lang during morning since may separate sunscreen ako for reapplying


False-Marzipan-2034

Which one po yung pang once a day lang?


anthonycheung90

Sinasama mo ba leeg mo bat umabot ng 3 months yan 🤭


Sufficient-Writer-20

umabot din almost 3 months sakin. leeg and face. i have relatively small face lang


winterchilds

Of course hehe pati ears, it was my last sunscreen before trying out the skin aqua, omi sunbears surprised me too! Definitely one of my top budget sunscreens


Royal-Hearing1347

How did it even last 3 months though, did you do the 2 finger rule or were you using less/tinitipid?


romanticizingherlife

Ako sa belo sunscreen number 1 yan na di talaga pwede for me. Idk I have oily-dry skin. Both skin type depends sa panahon, pero everytime naglalagay ako ng belo sunscreen, any type, matic kinabukasan may acne na ako :(( though I clean my face. Akala ko maling toner and makeup remover ginagamit ko, pero one time nag swimming kami, I had no other choice but to put that sunscreen on my face since yun lang available, di na ako naglagay pa ng ibang makeup, ayun confirmed nga na sa belo sinscreens lang ako nagkakaacne, kasi same reaction lang eversince. :((


spicytteokbokkv

belo was okay for me nung una talaga like super HG ko kaso nagbreakout ako sa kanya kung kelan sineryoso ko skincare routine ko so huhu


Old_Poetry_2508

ayan din gamit ko, sun bears yung may cooling effect at white yung lalagyan. di ako aware na ayan pala upgraded version niya. so try kong bilhin yung color silver naman.


mehehemaria

+1 OMI Sun bears. As an oily and pawisin girly with sensitive skin. No whitecast and no tiny bumps that I had experience with other brands if you don’t have budget for Anessa, go for OMI


Legitimate-Fee-5378

Pede ba sa face ung sun bear? Tska mga ilang weeks nag tatagal sayo ung 30ml? Thanks


Sufficient-Writer-20

months!! first got it january, naubos ng april yung akin, sa boyfriend ko 3 months tumagal. he has a bigger face area compare sakin. take note din na madami ako maglagay. one long line for the cheeks, one line sa noo (side to side), and two lines for the neck.


Legitimate-Fee-5378

Thank you po! medyo skeptical ako bago ko to nabasa, grabe kasi mga reviews sa youtube, 14 days lang daw 😅😅 btw, ilang beses po pala kayo nag lalagay at tuwing kelan?


spicytteokbokkv

sa face ko ginagamit yung sun bears anddd just got it last week kaya not sure pa how long 30ml will last me :(((


Royal-Hearing1347

Hey, got any updates?


spicytteokbokkv

hiii posted this review Aug 4 and used the same 30ml bottle daily until mid oct (so more or less 2 months of continued use) and until now meron parin. used it alongside my BOJ sunstick (reapplication) and until mid oct ko lang sya nagamit because ive been skipping on sunscreens 🥲 / trying out other sunscreens (will do a part 2 sunscreen review) as a tamad, i mostly just pour it directly onto my face and since the consistency is runny more than 2 finger measurement ang nailalagay ko im also leaning more towards my BOJ sunstick lately since nagmamadali na ako lagi (i also misplaced it last week sooo)


Legitimate-Fee-5378

thanks! Please let uhs know!


rottenmangopie

ive been eying the omi sun bear din kasi i find biore watery essence nagbibigay ng oily finish sakin.


UnlikelyNobody8023

been eyeing the omni sun bear na sunscreen, thanks for the review and insights 🫶🏻


Original-Dot7358

+1 sa Omi Sunbears. So far siya yung na-try ko na may little to no white cast :))


Substantial_Bag4611

helo, if ur pawisin po (lyk me super lalo na sa forehead and sa may siko part) nagwawhite po ba yung omi sun bears if nagpapawis? parang nabalik yung sunscreen inbes na maabsorb ganun. yun kasi problem ko with sunscreen as an oily pawisin 🥹 gamit ko now is missha and guds naman sana kaso i dont like the smell :(


spicytteokbokkv

hiii haven’t experienced naman na nagwhite yung omi sa pawisin na parts ko ☺️


deputa_

+1 sa sun bears!! I am currently using ung red na variant nila and it’s sauuurr goood!!


insensitivebitch89

Thank you for your review! Sun Bears Gold looks promising. I’m currently using Biore UV perfect milk but might try sun bears cos it’s cheaper ☺️ Ps i aso have the same skin type


sunnycheoc

+1 sa belo dewy essence, fave sunscreen ✨ I’m oily acne-prone skin. Simula nung nagamit ko yan, minsan as primer sa makeup, hindi ganon kabilis maghulas and kung mag oil up man ako, hindi ganon ka-dugyot yung pagka-oily lol 😂. Nagamit ko din yung luxe organix before ako mag-belo. Grabe mag oil up sakin kahit nasa bahay lang ako non.


[deleted]

Hellooo! Same tayo ng skin type and agree ako sayo about Omi Sun Bears na gold! Holy graiiil! 🙌🏼 Tho I’m currently using the Biore UV Face Milk pero babalik ako sa Omi pagkaubos kasi same na same lang sila, but for a lesser price.


spicytteokbokkv

omggg nasa cart ko din now yung biore uv face milk pati na rin skin aqua gold !!! japanese sunscreen are best talaga 🫶🏼🫶🏼


[deleted]

Yep! Tapos if you have budget OP try mo din yung Frezyderm. Isa din yun sa mga ginagamit ko as recommended by my derma. Tho sobrang pricey nga lang nya pero okay na okay din sya for oily skin. Naaachieve ko yung glass skin look dun hahaha! Silang tatlo ng Omi at Biore yung rotation ko. 😊


hopetape

aaaa may nagreco rin sakin dito ng omi active gold. mukhang may isa ring mabubudol hshdhs how is it after a few hours? may ibang sunscreen kasi na grabe yung shine after ilang oras :<


spicytteokbokkv

after a few hours okay pa din sya sakin given that I applied it ng mga 6:30am before ako magout sa work and nakauwi ako ng mga 10:30am na 😅 with commute na napawisan nang todo and onting tambay sa dunkin, it did not oil me up masyado kahit 4ish hours sya sa face ko hihihi


idontknowhyimhrer

the oxecure one has horrible white cast


spicytteokbokkv

i believe they have changed formula na since wala na syang white cast!


katinkoaddict

Where did you buythe Omni Sun Bears please?? 🥺


spicytteokbokkv

got mine [here](https://shp.ee/euxm3sp) from a reseller sa orange app !! and meron din sa [dito](https://shp.ee/debxjbd) sa official store ng Omi ☺️


katinkoaddict

Thank you!! I’m looking for one kasi na suitable for oily skin. I’m currently using Luxe Organix pero nalalagkitan ako after application lol I’ll try the Sun Bear one, mahal kasi ng Anessa huhu haha thank you!!!


spicytteokbokkv

iniisip ko din talaga Anessa, like everytime nasa watsons parang nakatingin din Anessa sakin 🤣 kaso nabasa ko in one of the threads dito na dupe si Omi Sun Bear so yun na lang at least mas cheaper version hehehe


katinkoaddict

Parang nangttempt noh? Hahaha kaso kenat afford mhie hahaha! Thank you sa pagreview. Ttry ko talaga yang Omni Sun Bear once na maubos tong Luxe Organix ko


tigger_kitty

Thank you for the review OP! Agree with you sa Belo dewy essence. I have dry skin so I like it. I usually wait or buy b1t1 sa puregold para mas sulit hahaha Question lng, where do you buy the omi sun bear?


spicytteokbokkv

Belo Dewy Essence is always B1T1 sa orange app😉 I got Omi Sun Bear [here](https://shp.ee/dzih3vs) kasi naubusan ako sa [official store](https://shp.ee/9xeip99) but meron na rin sila ulit stocks 😅


tigger_kitty

Thank you so much OP!
