BEST JAPANESE SUNSCREENS ☀️ Affordable & Available Online!

[@TinaTanakaHarris]

A lot of people are asking about the Anessa one so I'll just pin this comment!: I have tried the Anessa before and used it quite a bit while living in Japan! The reason why I didn't include it on this list was because it is significantly more expensive than the others and I wanted to keep this list affordable! x

[@joyofrandom]

So agree! I have oily skin and Japanese Biore sunscreen (milky texture) pretty much gives me the same result with a better price range than the Anessa product. Yesstyle website/app has all of them.

[@ma-cb79on]

Hi, Do Japanese outdoor sunscreens have more protection and stronger filters than japanese daily sunscreens? And please recommend me a fragrance free sunscreen for daily use and a outdoor activities ( suitable for very oily and acne prone skin)🙏🏻

[@sweetj1296]

Sadly, for me, Anessa is much more effective and less irritate than Biore Watery Essense. From Thailand with daily uv index 15 test. 🤣 The Biore red tube is interesting, though.

[@fbi0101]

I’m surprised you didn’t include the nivea UV super water gel in this upload.

[@bazli83]

I used to avoid any thing with alcohol in it due to fear mongering, but after like understanding chemistry and formulation it is something that I think is important in ingredient to make it what they are, if you are looking for something light on the skin. Hence a lot of Japanese sunscreen have alcohol in them, because Asians use sunscreen as a daily moisturizer so it's important to have something light and something that works well under make up. Definitely a win for me from now on

[@sluttymctits4496]

Sorry to highjack your comment, but to touch on a point you made, I've noticed that fear-mongering and zero-tolerance have been creeping into the skincare community. Too many skincare "stans" think they know more than accredited, licensed experts and just spread misinformation, or they assume that what they or their favorite KZbinr use is the ONLY thing that's right. Alcohol, fragrance, parabens, sustainability, etc. -- cross one person on any of those topics and you'll incur the wrath of a thousand CeraVé teens. We're all different, with different skin types and different needs. What works for one won't work for all. We should all just share our knowledge and accept our differences. Trial and error is where it's at. Sorry for the rant. It's just frustrating to see what should be a supportive community devolve into cliques and bullying.

[@bumblebee5051]

@@sluttymctits4496 totally agree with original comment and your response to it. Thank you to both for posting. And this is not limited to only skin care. The same fear mongering is noticeably higher in hair communities. The kind of misinformation and fear mongering spread about sulphates parabens silicons etc is too much to handle.

I've been wearing Canmake sunscreen for a couple years now. Best I've ever used. As a man, what I like is that it doesn't stick and cake onto facial hair at all like spf lotions and creams always do. It's so light and doesn't irritate my skin whatsoever. Whenever I get a new tube, I go online and purchase a new one since it does take a bit to get here to Canada. It's also not too expensive at all which I can appreciate since a tube lasts about a month only for me.

I'm with you on Japanese and Korean sunscreens, there are so many and they are more suitable for my combo skin than the Aussie ones. Even Nivea 0 shine is greasy on me! The only trouble is, most of these have not only alcohol but also fragrance. Mostly, they don't irritate my skin but I hate fragrance in skin care and it does often irritate my skin. Thanks to these issues and some others, I developed perioral dermatitis and have had to resort to accutane to clear it up :(
