Dermax UV Product Review


Summer is upon us and I cannot stress enough how important it is to always stay protected from the harsh tropical sunlight! My number one anti-aging secret apart from sacrificing babies during the full moon is sunscreen! Kidding on the first part but I'm serious about the suncreen ok! Hahaha! The sun is the number one cause of skin aging and pigmentation so I have been applying sunscreen religiously since college. Lucky for us there are newer thinner formulations now so we don't have to put up with the sticky/greasy sunblock we were used to back then.


I am so happy to introduce these 4 proudly Filipino-made Sunblock that is perfect for the hot humid weather in our country! I really love how light they feel on my skin and the Waterburst formulation* on some variants is awesome! 

*Breakthrough water rich formula leaves a burst of moisture as you spread this lightweight sunscreen on skin.

A milky touch formula that provides intensive defense against UVA/UVB rays that cause sunburn, cell damage, dryness, roughness and premature signs of aging. Contains Vitamins A (anti-aging), C (lightens the skin) and E (anti-oxidant) to further protect and nourish the skin.
Non-greasy, spreads easily and blends well with makeup. UV Milk provides intensive defense against UVA/UVB rays that cause:

WARNING: Do not stay too long in the sun, even while using a sunscreen product.

My Review
I am currently using this right now and I love how light and moisturizing it feels on my skin. It does not leave a white cast but for those who prefer a matte finish just set this with powder since it imparts a bit of sheen on the face. I'be been using this everyday for a month since I used up the UV Baby one and I've had no reactions or acne flare-ups on my face so I guess this is good for sensitive skin also.



UV Gel Water-Based Sunscreen SPF 30+ PA++
Sun protection for oily, acne-prone and sensitive skin
A clear gel formula designed for oily, acne-prone, and sensitive skin. With soothing Jeju Aloe extract and gentle, water-based sunscreen ingredients that protect against UVA and UVB rays. Fragrance-free. Non-comedogenic.
Directions: Apply evenly on face, neck and arms 30 minutes before sun exposure. Reapply as needed.

WARNING: Do not stay too long in the sun, even while using a sunscreen product.

Price: P720 (50 ml)

My Review
I don't really have Acne problems like I used to back in High School and College but for those who prefer an ultra-light refreshing consistency or for those with acne-prone super oily skin then this variant is perfect for you! 


UV Active Water-Burst Sunscreen SPF 45+ PA+++
Water-resistant sun protection for active lifestyles
UV Active Hydrating Sunscreen creates a cooling burst of moisture as it touches the skin. With SPF boosting Nyamplung oil and gentle sunscreen ingredients that protect against UVA and UVB rays. Water-resistant, water-rich formula is perfect for those with active lifestyles. Ideal for the face and body.
Directions: Make this a part of your outdoor skin care regimen. Apply on exposed body parts at least 30 minutes before sun exposure. Reapply as needed.

WARNING: Do not stay too long in the sun, even while using a sunscreen product.

Price: P720 (50 ml)

My Review
As much as I loved the consistency and feel of this variant, my skin did not love it as much. It might be due to the stronger formulation or something but my skin just reacted horribly to this one. My rosacea flared up and went away when I stopped using this. Oh well too bad! If you have sensitive or acne prone skin this might not be good for you.





UV Baby Water-Burst Sunscreen SPF 30+ PA++

Broad spectrum sun protection. Safe for kids and babies
UV Baby is safe and gentle enough for babies 6 months and older. Breakthrough water rich formula leaves a burst of moisture as you spread this lightweight sunscreen on skin. With SPF boosting Nyamplung oil and gentle sunscreen ingredients that protect against UVA and UVB rays.
Directions: Apply evenly on face, neck and arms before sun exposure. Reapply as needed.

WARNING: Do not stay too long in the sun, even while using a sunscreen product.

Price: P720 (50 ml)


My Review
This is my favorite among the bunch because of the waterburst formulation. The other variant with the waterburst formulation- the UV Active one did not agree with me so this is my favorite by default. The waterburst formulation is really awesome and unique. When you spread the formula on your skin you will begin to see bursts of moisture or water well up on your skin and your skin stays hydrated and supple so there is no need to apply moisturizer afterward. I really love how light and moisturizing this feels on my skin so for those who get turned off by heavy/greasy sunscreen formulations you need to give these products a shot!


I highly recommend these products and I am so happy and proud that they are Philippine made! Thank you Skinstation for coming up with these high quality products! <3
