The Biore Aqua Watery Essense is the one for me. The first time I tried it, I was taking my kids to float the river (2 and a half hours on reflective water). My kids applied physical sunscreen 3 times during the trip and all ended up burnt or slightly burnt. I applied Biore Aqua once and didn't even get a tan. The smell dissipates so quickly it hasn't been an issue for me. I'm Caucasian with normal to dry skin and the alcohol hasn't been a problem for me.

[@danielsugaimd]

Thank you for watching, Terri!!

[@lizzy2263]

This is my FAVORITE sunscreen I have ever found. I’ve always had issues with American sunscreens. Mineral sunscreens leave such a strong white cast and American chemical sunscreens burn my eyes like crazy and stay super greasy on my skin. This one definitely has a strong scent, and I was apprehensive about the alcohol content at first, but honestly the scent fades fast and the alcohol makes the sunscreen less greasy. Truly the best sunscreen I have ever tried and I was able to get my husband to wear it every day too (crazy since he hated sunscreen before I found this one). First sunscreen I have found that doesn’t burn my eyes, doesn’t leave a white cast, doesn’t make me break out, and doesn’t leave me feeling slimy or sticky.

[@maurao6287]

It seems like a good sunscreen, I only worried that the tube is quite tiny for the amount we have to apply and reapply. May I ask you how long does a tube last you?

Used to travel to Japan quite often for work. This is one of my favorite Japanese sunscreens that works well under and over makeup. At the end of a tube I picked up pre-pandemic and it does not have any overwhelming fragrance, alcohol or otherwise. My other favorite is Kanebo - Allie 2.0 Extra UV Facial Gel SPF50+ PA++++. It is more expensive than the Biore though. But it's listed as rub-resistant and works well under a face mask and when running outdoors.

[@asrirmu7327]

I LOVE this one ❤️ Only thing I could say about it is the alcohol content is fairly high but for me I get no issues with it. It’s so nice to apply and leaves no greasy feeling or looks shiny. Brilliant sunscreen and it did pass the spf so all great.

[@BegumofQueens]

I hated putting on sunscreen my whole life (I am 31 now) because something in the US ones just make me feel like my skin is retaining the heat from the sun. Which leads to sleeked skin for me and just utter misery. I did a bit of research and found this Biore Aqua one. I have to say, it is the best sunscreen I’ve ever used. My skin is sensitive and prone to eczema flare ups. This does not irritate at all. I am also a runner, and this holds up in that it doesn’t get in my eyes or get sticky as I run. It really goes on like a water essence and disappears completely. I am a brown woman and this causes zero cast. In fact in pictures I appear dewy and glowy. I don’t wear makeup, but it gives it that nice glow regardless. I just wish I could buy a bigger tube so I can slather on all over my body and not just my face.

[@shiararomeldacollantes7687]

Does it stay dewy/oily the whole day?

[@BegumofQueens]

@@shiararomeldacollantes7687 yes. I would reapply as needed. But reapplying does not make your skin feel oiler or anything. It just disappears each time.

[@deniseburnham7783]

I appreciate Biore and Skin Aqua's micro-encapsulation technology that boosts UV protection without penetrating into the skin. Without the encapsulation, my eyes will not tolerate octinoxate. My favorite is the Skin Aqua Super Moisture Milk (blue bottle). Although it has no alcohol or fragrance, it has fewer filters.

[@gtan307]

That one by Skin Aqua is my fave too because it doesn't sting the eyes. It has fewer filters, but it's dominant filter is zinc oxide which is a very stable UVA/UVB physical filter. It's a hybrid sunscreen but almost pure physical. The chemical filters are lower in the INCI list, that's why it doesn't sting the eyes.

[@danielsugaimd]

I def need to try that Skin Aqua one out now. I see Stylevana has it too. Thanks for sharing your thoughts 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@gtan307]

@@danielsugaimd Yess you should try it and please review it on your future videos.

[@VirgoKC]

I have been using Biore, other Japanese and Korean sunscreens for years especially those milky and runny texture ones. However when compared to European sunscreens, efficacy-wise, I think Asian ones couldn't stand extreme/outdoor direct sunlight for long time. I would recommend European sunscreens instead if you will go spend a long time outdoor exposing to direct and harsh sunlight. It will protect you more than those sunscreens from Asia.

[@EastOrlandoFlorida]

100% agree with this review. This has been the only chemical sunscreen in my rotation for the past 10 years and I just finished my last bottle and will no longer suffer thru the alcohol smell (2nd ingredient). It never irritated my face like American chemical sunscreens do, and was always on the highest rated lists which is why I continued to repurchase it. Someone translated it and said the directions say to avoid the eyelid area... WTF? If you are avoiding your eyelids, you are doing sun protection wrong. Anyway, I totally understand your review and question why this has a cult fandom, even after the 2019 smell intensifying reformulation.

[@e.deborah7256]

The older formulas has a lighter scent. And yes the new formula has a heavier scent. But the freshness is the same. I love the fact that it's not greasy and doesn't leave a white cast on my skin. I just use it for my face because it's getting pricey for me. But I use the Nivea sun gel for my body.

@@krisr3612 I use the clear version and have sensitive skin/eyes, and it’s so soothing and not irritating at all. I use CANMAKE on my indoor/minimal exposure days and Biore on my outside/active days. CANMAKE is a cosmetics brand so the sunscreen is very cosmetically elegant, but I’m not sure what their testing has come back like, I’m not sure if it lives up to the SPF 50, but it seems to do well if I am not out in direct sun all day. It was my holy grail until I found the Biore, which truly does give great coverage all day in direct sun. CANMAKE needs to be re-applied a lot more often to get the same coverage as Biore, in my experience.

I'm in love with littllextra riceberry sunscreen right now and I'm a big fan. I can apply a generous coat without feeling uncomfortable. It do not sting the eyes or taste awful if sweat drips into my eyes or mouth. The price is also very reasonable compared to most facial sunscreens. For reference, I have mostly normal skin, slightly oily on my nose and chin, and somewhat prone to acne unless I'm rigorous with my skincare. I've been using it for a month and haven't had any breakouts or even an isolated large zit, so it's certainly not clogging my pores.

[@ap-ql3os]

Absolutely LOVE this sunscreen. Tried it after watching skin care influencer James Welsh rave about it. It's the only sunblock I've tried that leaves no white cast and doesn't have that HORRIBLE sunscreen smell. Speaking of the smell, maybe the company corrected the overwhelmingly strong scent this video mentions, because I find it has a light scent that disappears in a few minutes. The alcohol content doesn't bother me at all, in fact, i think the product feels amazing. Cooling and soothing, leaving soft, dewy and glowy skin. I definitely cannot live without this stuff. I even find my skin looks better after consistent use, healthier, plumper, less noticeable fine lines and more even tone. Not to mention it works so well, my face looks much paler than the rest of my body. Lol

@@oiiaiouiiiaih ohhh ok. Does it dry out your skin??

[@chantelleherholdt9779]

Only sunscreen I'm able to wear over my eyes yes it's got scent but it fades after about an hour. Sinks in well. I've got oily skin but my skin is dried as I use retain A put a moisturizer on before the sunscreen no issues at all. I've tried zinc sunscreen and burns my eyes. Sticking with this.

[@JJ-si4qh]

This is the only relatively affordable sunscreen I use. I've try new ones all the time.

[@thealextam]

Do you see an uptick of melanoma in the Seattle area? I am also from here and find that most people don't wear sunscreen, under the guise that it's "cloudy" here and UV "is low", which we know is false.

[@Hana_j_93]

I am sensitive to parfumes but i didnt had an issue with that sunscreen but i like missha more 😅 so since i live in korea i just buy them in 1+1 so very affortable 😇

[@SuperDianedianediane]

Thanks for the review! I just bough 2 bottles of this to use since I've got oily skin and feel better about a dermatologist having a good experience with the product.

[@xienho]

Please review kanebo allie extra uv facial gel. Its also a really popular product in japan

[@danielsugaimd]

Will look into this one. Thank you for the suggestion!🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@plethoraria]

Thank you for doing this! I was just looking at this sunscreen!

[@plethoraria]

Also what are your thoughts on chemical versus mineral sunscreens?

[@ManjitKaur-pq7fm]

Biore for pigmentation can remove pigmentation so many years.

[@orattik]

I noticed that Japanese skin care and makeup seems to be aimed at more oily skin (they're known for powders, blotting papers, alcohol in skin care etc), whereas Korean products are all about hydrating and moisturizing and glowing- so I assumed people in Japan have oily skin and Koreans dry 😅. I quite like this sunscreen but it pills quite badly when I put any liquid/cream cosmetics ovet it (primer, foundation etc). I had the same issue with Korean sunscreens. Idk what the ingredients are that don't want to play together, but I didn't have this with Bioderma, LRP or Eucerin spfs 🤷‍♀️😕

[@danielsugaimd]

Great observation- I’ll pay attention to this when looking at Japanese and korean sunscreens or just skincare products in general! Thanks for sharing your thoughts too. 🙏🏼🙏🏼👍👍

[@orattik]

@@danielsugaimd Thank you! And money is on silicones as the cause, but I don't know enough about chemistry to know why etc.

[@jbbautista1]

This dried out my skin like crazy!!!

[@P0SHED]

I love, love, love it! It Does smell kinda chemically when just applied- but I’m weirdly into the smell 🫨🫢 But man. The lightweight feeling and easy application makes this a joy and addictive. You don’t get that in Danish skincare!! I used to hate wearing sunscreen 😮 I’m in Mallorca and ran out of the Biore and had to buy a big Nivea sun screen 🫠😵‍💫 I tell you, that one is thick as F*** and looks like scrambled egg in this heat.. Never again!

[@nizzahizzatir3171]

I have using this sunscreen for 4 years till now.. It is because the price is quite affordable for student.. So far I do not have any serious acne prob and perfect for makeup base.. This is my best sunscreen after hada labo, sunplay and loreal sunscreen..

[@HeliNoir]

I have MCS so fragrances can give me a headache. I've been using this Bioré Watery Essence sunscreen for years and prefer the older formulation because the new formula scent was just too much for me so unfortunately I had to switch to a no fragrance sunscreen. I hope you do a review for Suntegrity Natural Moisturizing Face Sunscreen & Primer, SPF 30

[@melisaroy6788]

My favorite sunscreen under makeup!

[@celestee3766]

Thank u for the review!

[@solarmoth4628]

My favorite japanese sunscreens come from suncut amd skin aqua. They’re affordable and don’t have fragrance. I can’t take the smell in the biore. It made my eyes water and kind of stung if it got wet. I don’t know if they fixed this issue. I gave it away to a friend.

[@woofpuppy2433]

Thanks doc, and there are popular Japanese SPF 50 sun scream: canmake Mermaid Skid Gel. Shiseido Anessa Perfect UV Sunscreen Milk, Shiseido the perfect protector, Kanebo Allie extra UV perfect. Rohto Mentholatum - Skin Aqua UV Super Moisture Gel. Kose - Suncut Aqualy UV Protect Gel. Nivea Japan - UV Super Water Gel It would be awesome if you can review some of them

[@stacyp]

Hi, I'm a new Subscriber, love your channel! ❤ I agree with you on the fragrance. A good dupe for this sunscreen is the Isehan Kiss Me Sunkiller Water Essence SPF 50, another Japanese sunscreen. Its alcohol free, very lightweight and absorbs quickly. It does have a lemony scent, but the scent does dissipate after application.

[@danielsugaimd]

Oh I think I ordered this the other day- thank you for the suggestion/recommendation! Will be sure to review this one. 🙏🏼🙌

[@misscamay]

I use to use this under makeup but my t zone gets oily a little with this, I disagree the scent is negligible ... but I like the hado labo more keeps me oil free

[@miagraciasuarez6305]

i been using this sunscreen and it's good for my skin 😊😊

Hi Doc, how about Hada Labo product skincare. Can you review that product for your next video. Thank you. And thanks for your sharing. I will try this product soon.

[@maidoesthings]

Thank you for reviewing this!

yup2 the alcohol smell is strong but it goes away, so apply little by little instead of full on 2-3 fingers

Dr. Sugai, can you review the Hada Labo UV White Gel please? Thank you.
