Packaging
It comes in a tube with a nozzle opening so there is no chance of spillage or product wastage of any kind.

Adenosine which is a yeast derived ingredient has proven anti-wrinkle benefits, and also provides skin soothing and repair benefits.

My Experience
Skin Type – Normal Sensitive
L’oreal paris uv perfect aqua essence spf 50 has a thin consistency and hence, it spreads easily on my skin. This lotion gets absorbed in to the skin easily and helps moisturise my normal skin. It certainly may not be enough to hydrate dry skin though.
The finish varies from dewy/oily in summers to matte finish in winters. I do require a separate moisturiser under this during the winter season.
This is one of those sunscreens which you can apply and forget about it. It certainly does not give a heavy, tacky or sticky feel to my skin. So layering makeup foundation or BB cream is not an issue.
Another positive factor of L’oreal paris uv perfect aqua essence spf 50 is that it does not leave behind a white cast despite having a very high sun protection factor.(SPF 50++++)
Does L’oreal UV Perfect Aqua Essence Sunscreen Protect Your Skin For 12 Hours?
Unfortunately No.
SPF 50 means that the sunscreen protects your skin for 250 minutes. That is, 4 hours. You have to reapply after that especially if you are out in the sun.
But, This sunscreen does provide complete protection against all UVA rays of the sun.
WARNING
L’oreal paris uv perfect aqua essence does contain 7 perfuming ingredients.🤔
What may suit my sensitive skin may not really suits yours. Skincare is subjective so, if you have super sensitive skin or any allergy to fragrance, skip this.

All in all this is a very good sunscreen may suit most skin types, if not all skin types. I just wish the quantity was 50 ml though. Then it would have been perfect.
