Now that it’s summer, it’s time to transition your skincare from heavy creams to lightweight, hydrating, and protective ones packed with SPF. And if you’re already cleaning out your daily lineup and are looking for a new moisturizer to add, we spotted a TikTok viral SPF that creators say is the “best they’ve ever tried.” The hyper around the moisturizer comes from its nearly invisible formula, which leaves no white cast behind.

Bioré’s UV Aqua Rich Daily Hydrating Facial Moisturizer provides all-day hydration while protecting your skin from harmful UVA and UVB rays. The Japanese sunscreen adheres to the principle that hydrating the skin should be the primary focus of the product, and incorporates skin-nourishing ingredients such as hyaluronic acid for enhanced hydration. It also leaves the skin with a subtle and dewy finish.

But what really hooks beauty enthusiasts is the SPF’s weightless, UV-protectant, which disappears into all skin tones without clogging pores. How? We’re so happy you asked! The “invisible” formula is crafted with the brand’s invisible micro defense technology, which contains unique aqua capsules that release moisture into the skin while evenly covering the skin’s surface to help “prevent UV rays from reaching the skin,” per Bioré.
Shoppers do note that there is a slight scent, which they describe as a citrusy smell. But since the formula is dermatologist-tested, it’s safe for all skin types and doesn’t cause irritation or breakouts.
Shoppers with various skin types praise the sunscreen, calling it “effective” and “moisturizing.” They also rave about how it leaves zero trace of the pesky white cast behind.
“Love this sunscreen!” one said. “It goes on so very light and easy, before completely absorbing into the skin without even knowing you’ve even applied sunscreen. Never any irritation to skin or eyes. That icky white film that settles into any lines and looks/feels disgusting while collecting dirt or sand doesn’t exist with this Biore sun protection. It’s so light and invisible that applying and wearing makeup over top is also a dream.”
“It’s absolutely true—no white cast,” another wrote. “It has a noticeable fragrance, which I know not everyone likes. I enjoy it, though. It really soaks into the skin and doesn’t take long to do so. I have used this under my makeup and been very pleased with its performance.”
“I love this product so much,” a final five-star reviewer noted. “I have very dry skin, and this sunscreen moisturizer is my savior. I wear it every day! Sunscreen and moisturizer are such an important part of skincare, and I love that this can be both. I practically never break out after wearing this. I worked as a lifeguard this summer, and wearing this every day being in the sun, I never burned, and it protected my face and neck very well.”
If your current SPF isn’t cutting it, make sure you stock up on this impressive $14 pick ahead of summer days in the sun!
