How long does Anessa protect against the sun? What is the difference between Anessa and Sofina?

Anessa is also a brand of skin care products that many people know. It feels good when used on the face. So how long can Anessa provide sun protection? What are the differences between Anessa and Sofina?

How long can Anessa protect against the sun?

Anessa sunscreen spray is SPF50+PA++++, which theoretically can provide effective protection for 16 hours, but the reality is that if you stay outdoors all the time, it is best to reapply the sunscreen spray every 2 hours.

Because most of the sunscreens in sunscreen sprays are chemical sunscreens, they will gradually lose their sunscreen effect after absorbing ultraviolet rays. So if you are outdoors for a long time, please reapply every 2 hours.

The difference between Anessa and Sofina

1. Sun protection

Anessa>Sofina

Compared with Anessa, Sofina's sun protection ability is not strong (the strongest product under the Sofina brand is Sofina Little White Flower, because it has an additional waterproof film-forming agent), and there is not much difference from general sunscreen products on the market. Anessa has comprehensive UV protection with 2 types of physical sunscreen and 5 types of chemical sunscreen. It can effectively prevent sunburn and tanning if used correctly. In terms of sun protection, it is a better competitor than Sofina.

2. Waterproof

Anessa>Sofina

Anessa

Anessa is a waterproof sunscreen that contains 5 film-forming agents. After testing, it was found that the UVA transmittance of Anessa was only 5% (a part of the UV rays that can directly reach the dermis of the skin) 120 minutes after application. Of course, if the time exceeds this, you must reapply Anessa.

Sofia

The most waterproof product among Sofina products is Sofina Core Beauty Daytime Protective Lotion, also known as Sofina Little White Flower. It contains two film formers, one of which is a true waterproof film former (lauryl methacrylate/ethylene glycol dimethacrylate cross-linked polymer), which is a commonly used film former in cosmetics, while the other three are not present.

3. Skin feel

Anessa

Pink Gold Bottle: It is slightly thicker on the face than the Small Gold Bottle, but I personally don’t find it greasy. Some people feel that it is a little oily when first applied, but the feeling disappears after the film is formed.

Small white bottle: moderate moisturizing, less oily

Silver bottle: The whitening is not obvious, the fluidity is good, and it has a sense of transparency.

Sofia

White Lace: It makes your face look naturally white. In the summer, you can go out confidently just by applying this without any foundation. The disadvantage is that it is too dry. When you remove it at night, you will find slight peeling on your face, so you must moisturize well before applying it.

Little Blue Flower: The refreshing lotion has a slight fragrance. It does not feel muddy or greasy when applied on the face. It is as burden-free as ordinary lotion and has the effect of brightening the skin tone. It has added moisturizing and antioxidant ingredients, making it more moisturizing than white lace.

4. Suitable for skin type

Anessa

Anessa Gold Bottle is suitable for combination to oily skin and can be used in places where you will have close contact with the sun, such as going to the sea, swimming, or on the beach.

The silver bottle is suitable for dry skin (the new version of the silver bottle will not make your face oily when used, so those who don’t like oily skin can use the silver bottle). You can use the silver bottle when playing ball, running, walking outdoors, or when you sweat a lot.

Anessa blue bottle and pink gold bottle: suitable for daily and outdoor use on all skin types except newborn babies.

Sofia

Blue lace and white lace: are more friendly to oily skin and sensitive skin;

Small blue flowers and small white flowers: more suitable for dry skin and combination skin.

Note: Friends who are allergic to alcohol should use Sofina sunscreen with caution. Because all four of Sofina's sunscreens contain high levels of ethanol, which is alcohol, some people are allergic to ethanol.

5. Cost-effectiveness

Anessa>Sofina

Anessa

Reference price: 215 yuan/60ml Unit price: 3.58 yuan/1ml

Compared with the latest version of Anessa in 2018, the unit price is not as high as Sofina, which is why more people choose Anessa as their sunscreen for going out. Girls who don’t have that much budget will still choose Anessa.

Sofia

Reference price: 205 yuan/32ml Unit price: 6.41 yuan/1ml

The reference price listed above is the purchasing price of the new version of Sofina Little Blue Flower in Japan in 2017. Such a price is indeed prohibitive for some student girls and girls who have just entered the workplace. Many girls choose Sofina sunscreen because of its cute appearance.

This is the end of the introduction to the sun protection time of Anessa. You still need to pay attention to the difference between it and Sofina, after all, they are two different brands.
