Summer may be coming to an end but Sunscreen is forever! Sharing my thoughts on new Japanese sunscreen formulas! Here are some of my favourites and some, not so much. I've included new formulas as well as ones that were reformulated and re-released this year and last. I didn't review the sunscreens that only went through repackaging but formulas remained the same. Stay cool!

Plus my lack of reading Japanese has really kept me in the dark about many cosmetics here. ( except the masks .. I have literally tried ALL of them and have landed on a few I can’t live without) Thank you so much for this vid. I think the Allie will suit me perfectly . So happy I found your channel! ❤

once I tried japanese sunscreen for the face, I did not need to venture further...this is the holy grail for me..every time I experiment w a new sunscreen I conclude that I needn't bother, they work well and they are well priced and totally compatible w foundations and powders. The classic Biore has been my favorite,but bc of inventory issues I tried the tone up ones from Skin Aqua, was really nice (which was a surprise). Nice that you explained what the different colors were for bc I didn't know lol. but your other recommendations sound amazing

I have been on a hunt for tinted Asian sunscreens with barely any luck. I don't like mineral sunscreens as they leave a cast on me and are drying. So I prefer chemical sunscreens with newer filters like Uvinul A plus, Tinasorb M, Mexoryl and Tinasorb S. Some of my favorites include Beauty of Joseon, canmake mermaid gel, Isntree and skin 1004. However I have a hard time finding a tinted version of Asian sunscreens. Any recommendations?

I got the skin aqua sunscreen (the lavender one) last year from a package sent by my aunt from japan and at first try, I hated it that’s why it stayed on my vanity until last month when I tried it again and magically I fell in love!

Skin Aqua used to be my favorite until they ruined it after 2019 by adding green tea which my skin hates…. now I’m using Nivea Japan Super Water Gel, not my favorite, as I preferred how the Skin Aqua made my combination oily skin matte, and was water resistant. But realized my sensitive Rosacea skin doesn’t like alcohol, and Japanese sunscreens are all alcohol, as my face is always red and causes bumps and white heads as well as pustules . Can’t use physical ones as I’m allergic to mineral.

@gothamista 11 ай бұрын

Great question! I used to be very wary myself until last year when I tried the new Biore and Anessa (Used to mainly use the mild milk version without alcohol) formulations and found them to feel glorious on my skin. I felt no stinging, irritation or dryness infact quite the opposite. My skin felt great. Keep in mind these are formulated to stay on outermost surface of skin, they form a layer. I use them over my moisturizer. During dryer months I will use more creamy sunscreen textures! Always good to patch test first as well as I can only speak to my experience but I am a sensitive, rosacea prone skinner

@Mini_Min_ 11 ай бұрын

I stay away from most Japanese sunscreens - unfortunately a lot of them contain Octinoxate which is extremely irritating for me, especially around the eyes. Those of you who find certain chemical sunscreens irritating - always check if they contain this filter (be aware it comes under several other names as well). Some CC/BB creams contain it too and it is still irritating, even though the amounts are smaller.

@gothamista 11 ай бұрын

Hi! In sunscreens, long-wearing is measured by it's resistance to all the factors and how easily it will rub off. These are about as resistant as sunscreens get with their friction resistance, sweat and water resistance! For the shiseido sunscreens like Anessa, they take it even further with their thermo and water booster technologies whereby the protection gets stronger when exposed to heat and moisture! Ofcourse, I would still be careful to reapply in high activity/exposure situations!
