There’s a limited range of products on their website & it’s expensive. So would you like to splurge on these products? And curious to know what makes this brand different from the rest.?

To make your decision easy, let me share with you my review of 82°E Licorice beam sunscreen gel.

Licorice Beam SPF 40

The licorice beam sunscreen gel is the latest addition to the brand. It was launched in May.

It is a clear gel-based sunscreen enriched with a power combination of licorice and ceramides that gives a healthy & hydrated skin without a shine.

My 82°E Licorice beam sunscreen gel review

I am truly impressed by Deepika Padukone and her philosophy to curate 82°E, a self-care brand with love & care. I was intrigued to try out this sunscreen and find out if it is really worth the money.

I was looking for a new sunscreen to try and I am so glad I found this 82°E Licorice Beam SPF 40!

I received my order within 3-4 days and the packaging was great. When I opened the box, I was in awe of the luxury packaging.

This product stands out from the rest with its stunning packaging design and look. When I kept it on my dressing table, it shines out from all the other products and looks like a luxury item (indeed it is)

I have been using sunscreen for years, but I have to say, trying out this clear sunscreen gel was a pleasant surprise.

 I was uncertain about the texture and the fragrance, but to my delight, it turned out to be soft, velvety, and non-greasy, so it doesn’t feel like you’re wearing a mask of sunscreen.

 And with hot, humid days around the corner, it’s a must-have product that will keep me looking fresh and oil-free!!

This licorice beam sunscreen is light-weight and blends into the skin effortlessly leaving it feeling velvety and soft without any white cast.

After two weeks of using it in my AM routine, I can definitely see my skin looking more hydrated and healthy.

Any cons?

I haven’t seen any changes in skin brightening yet, but I’m confident that this sunscreen is protecting my skin from sunrays and its effects.

Secondly, as per the brand’s Insta page, they are telling that for optimal protection from sun rays, squeeze two strips of the product and use it.  But if I use it this way, my sunscreen will get over within 2-3 weeks. Therefore, I would request the brand to either increase the quantity or lessen the price.

Rating: 4.5 out of 5.

MRP: 1800 for 40gm
