Japanese Sunscreens WE NEED TO DISCUSS | 2024

[@DaMisterE]

The Skin Aqua sunscreens are not only amazing for what they offer but the fact that they are also rather cheap and offer you sizes that aren‘t just a tiny 50ml/2oz tube is soooo nice

One of my go-to sunscreens for my acne-prone skin is littlllextra rice berry sunscreen with SPF 50+. The major issues I face with a lot of sunscreens are whether they cause breakouts or they leave my skin dry and irritated. However, this sunscreen doesn't do this and it applies great under makeup which as an acne-prone girl I nearly daily wear.

[@AnikaBloom34]

I recall a friend recommended riceberry sunscreen to me over the summer, and I got it right away. I’ve been using it since then, and I’ve absolutely loved it! I have combination skin. I’ve even introduced my mom to this product. It has such a great finish. I’ve also tried the Requil one, but idk why I don’t like how it just feels like it’s just sitting on my face. So, riceberry any day.

[@nancyb8847]

Thanks for this! During the hot and humid season as an oily person, I go back and forth from the Anessa Perfect UV sunscreen milk and the Biore UV Athlizm Skin Protect Essence. As a guy that sweats a lot, the sweat just beads up instead of pours down my face. And my skin isn’t an oil slick at the end of the day.

I buy as many bottles of Canmake Mermaid Skin Gel 50++++ every time I’m in Japan. It’s incredible. No irritation. Goes on like a light moisturizer. Dries down like a light moisturizer. No greasy, shiny stuff on the skin. No white cast. Goes perfectly under my makeup (i always give it 15 to 30 min to absorb and dry before makeup). It’s freaking phenomenal. Got my husband using it, cause he can’t stand any SPF that makes him feel and look greasy and sticky.

[@lunurse2553]

I love it too!

[@wunderwhale]

Just hate how tiny of a tube it comes in!

[@jam6web84]

FYI Dr. Dray for Anessa. That is the 2022 formula that you tried. They have since renewed their entire line in Feb. 2024. It now comes with a slightly tweaked packaging, which is the exact image you used in the thumbnail of this video lol. The new bottle no longer has the sentence below the brand name at the front, and it now comes with a paperbox outer packaging too. The 2024 version is sooo good and it's my favorite Asian sunscreen overall.

That Nivea is a must have for me. Everyone I've ever given this to use has been happily shocked by how nice it goes onto the skin, and how breathable it feels. The Nivea is the sunscreen I give to people who don't wear sunscreen because they say don't like the way it feels on their skin, and it always changes their mind on the subject

Kao(Biore et al) and Nivea put a lot of R&D into their sunscreens. It’s not just about aesthetics and trendy botanical ingredients for them. They’re using and developing some of the most advanced water and rub resistance formulas alongside blends of filters that provide high protection across the UV spectrum in aesthetically pleasing products. Aside from L’Oréal (LRP specifically) I think Japanese Bioré and Nivea have the most innovative sunscreens and put them through rigorous testing to assure high efficacy. My holy grail is the Bioré UV Aqua Rich Watery Essence.

[@jam6web84]

The technology of Anessa, developed by Shiseido, is unmatched in terms of durability and tenacity, compared to Kao's.

[@TheOneWhoFallsApart]

Anessa sunscreen also have sensitive skin friendly versions , but I still perfer the one you try this time, I find it very good at oil control through out the whole humid and hot day in Taiwan.😊

[@CherryBerry383]

I love Anessa as someone who lives in a massively humid region, it's quite price-y compared to other japanese options i've but i love it anyways. Minimal white cast as someone who's rather dark, I use 3-4 fingers of application. it's the only sunscreen i've tried that's both protective and cosmetically elegant. Also doesnt irritate my skin as every sunscreen i've tried before this one made my skin burn and itch. I really appreciate that it's quite durable as well against sweat and humidity. It pretty much doesnt move, however that does mean that a makeup remover or cleansing oil/balm is a must at the end of the day with anessa. Idk if the humidity booster is real or not, but im going to believe it does it is and it's another reason why i find it so useful for my region's climate. I had the best results clearing my hyperpigmentation with this despite being outside for a considerable amount of time with my dog

[@cindymarble1270]

I absolutely love Skin Aqua! Great value, moisturizing and perfect under makeup.

[@markyteo]

The older version of the Nivea sunscreen is the ultimate lightweight sunscreen, together with BOJ, are the most comfortable sunscreen for people with oily skin, living in places with high humidity.

[@oooohmysoooosexy]

I did not even realize thy changed it. Good to know.

[@Sakura.Japan-vx4hf]

I live in Japan so thank you for reviewing. I usually grab whatever because I have no clue. I bought a sunscreen from Amazon Japan called NALC white wrinkle UV gel SPF 50 for my face. (wrinkle improvement whitening. Medicated. Made in Japan). I really like it. I tried before the brand Allna Organic but I wouldn't say I enjoyed it as much. Thanks for your content.

[@heidiv6510]

I've been using the Nivea UV water gel for YEARS !!! it's truly the most comfortable, thin and invisible sunscreen I've ever used. The only thing is, if you sweat and get it in your eyes? YIKES it stings! I do use mineral only around my eyes due to this reason alone.

[@chloeojeda2426]

The purple skin aqua sunscreen is my all time favorite under makeup!!

[@bingqingcai1556]

I recently found out there is a pink version of Anessa for sensitive skin, and I think, I think, it really better for me than the blue version. I had some bumps after cleaning the sunscreen with the blue one, but situation improved with the pink version.

[@jamesavery3727]

On Stylvana I bought Verdio UV Moisture Gel Water Proof for my body. Never used but excited to try!

[@ambergerhelper7852]

It’s good as a body sunscreen, but not my favorite. Good value for the money, though! I won’t purchase again because I won’t buy from Stylevana anymore.

[@AshleyOliviaDaCosta]

I love the Nivea water gel and I use it just because of the pump. I actually apply it because it’s so easy

[@jiranma]

Anessa probably gives the best finish ever and makes the skin look so even and nice after application. It has just the right level of matte with a bit of sheen. But as Dr Dre mentioned the film former, I realized that is probably the reason why it is soooooo difficult to get off the face. I guess it's good that it adheres to the skin well, but man, if you don't take the extra effort to clean it off with a makeup remover/oil first, it can literally be stuck on your skin and can actually cause breakouts. Also, I hate the feeling I get on my hands after application and thus, I have to use a makeup remover/oil/etc. to wash it off before I head out. If I don't do that, I can literally feel the sensation of a film on my hand throughout the day. So, if you don't mind a bit more effort, Anessa is a great one (besidses the fragrance...which surprisingly I can tolerate even though I am very sensitive to smells that linger as it gives me bad migraines/nausea). Another thing I heard recently was the new labels of Japanese sunscreens will now include water resistance indicator. I have already seen it on some brands.

[@chichichi998]

I would also suggest Biore Aqua Rich Watery Essence by KAO- it's a watery gel sunscreen (like the Skin Aqua and Nivea Super water Gel) , is water resistant, works well under make up, and it gives a really nice clear, watery glow and I like the way my skin looks without any make up! . It's my favorite!!

[@serotonin19]

[@Survivish]

I live in Japan and I was so scared of choosing a sunscreen you saved my day !

[@trixr4kids693]

The Super Water Gel applies like a dream but it only has one UVA filter (Uvinul A Plus) that isn't great at covering the entire UVA1 spectrum, especially 390-400nm.

[@akiheavenly6]

I swear by the Anessa sun milk. It feels velvety soft on your face. I went to Vietnam in October with 30°-35°C everyday and I didn't get a tan at all! Korean sunscreens are also nice but I do get a tan wearing those. So it's Japanse sunscreen all the way for me

[@chellycordoba6946]

I got all of them, the new formulas whilst so cosmetically elegant & price-friendly, they sting my eyes & I don't know why! 😭 The best sunscreen is the one that I can frequently use and reapply - so for me, I keep returning to the La Roche posay invisible fluid.

I have very oily and acne prone skin and I've tried so many different sunscreens and the Nivea UV Super Water Gel is the best one I've found, after it's applied it feels like nothing on the skin and I've never had it break me out, it's amazing!

[@heavenknows4857]

I initially liked the Skin Aqua UV Barrier because it is lightweight and didn’t irritate my eyes, but it does leave a noticeable shine. However, it did not adequately protect my skin from the spring and summer UV Rays as I experienced sunburns despite applying it multiple times. I also tried the SunCut UV perfect gel SPF 50+(2024 version), which provided better protection but gave me a sort of golden tan and irritated my eyes after some time. The SunCut was okay in humid weather but I still got slightly sunburned from the summer sun. I am using Sport sunscreens from Coppertone, BananaBoat, and Neutrogena. The Neutrogena Beach Defense SPF 70 lotion doesn’t irritate my eyes, but it doesn’t hold up well in humid weather when sweating on the face and neck, because I got sunburn, but my arms and legs didn’t .

Kosé has exceptionally high quality sunscreens in its Pro Defense and Intelligé Ex line, the latter available only in a specific Japanese drugstore chain, Cosmos.

[@sachi_yo_yo]

I use Nivea UV super water gel because I have a zinc allergy. I can’t put UV reflectors like zinc oxide, nano zinc oxide, titanium dioxide, or nano version on my skin. I can’t use most sunscreens, makeup bases, foundations, finishing powder, etc. Also, zinc oxide, nano zinc oxide, titanium dioxide, and nano titanium dioxide are significantly more toxic to ocean and marine life. The particles are clogging corals. I want to share my mistake in choosing sunscreen. There was a sunscreen that says “zinc-free” in the FL Target baby goods section. So I bought and used it in my beach time. My face got itchy and swollen in red. I took a close look at the sunscreen package ingredients. it has a nano zinc thing… so be careful guys if you have a zinc allergy. Some brand says “Zinc Oxide Free” in big letters even if it has nano zinc oxide. If sunscreen makes your face itchy, you may have a chance of zinc allergy. I went to the dermatologist and took a skin patch test. And I found out I have a zinc allergy. There is a much better UV-reflectors-free sunscreen out there in Japan from the brand called DECENCIA. And the new sunscreen name is called Flawless UV Protector (2024). This one is expensive (50g ¥5500) but rare as UV-reflectors-free and made by only UV absorbers. UV absorbers are also not good for people who have sensitive skin. So DECENCIA has been cleverly designed to minimize the amount of UV absorbers used for sensitive skin. Moreover, they achieved SPF50+ & PA++++. I have super sensitive skin + zinc & titanium allergies, so DECENCIA Flawless UV Protector wins by Nivea UV super water gel. I hope this will help someone like me.

Thx! I love the Skin Aqua. I am outside often, working sometimes I'm on a farm and sweating my a$$ off in the Southeast U.S. (esp this summer!), and this is my pick this summer for being outdoors. I do powder it down, though, because it is super shiny and I'm oily in the Tzone. I wish there were a way to get these Japanese and Korean products faster, though (and I know about Amazon but sometimes the stuff on Amazon is not authentic, so I don't always trust it), because it takes forever for me to get them and I have to pre-plan my summer sunscreen hauls and I have run out of some but can't get them quickly enough.

Arigato Dr Dray. We love Japanese sunscreen and they really have the technology to stay better and protect better with very detailed claims and now also ocean friendly. Like major cosmetics groups in the West, Shiseido, Kanebo, Kose and Kao are the big four companies that have many brands under its parent’s company. They are especially good for high humid weather and also are small in size to carry in your chic purse. With Yen historically low, for those lucky to visit Japan one can get them in many places like, including 7-11.

[@ambergerhelper7852]

Japanese usually have fragrance and alcohol in them, and many popular Korean ones don’t. I prefer Japanese, because the alcohol doesn’t dry my skin out, and helps it dry down faster.

[@maekawamarcus]

@@ambergerhelper7852 That makes sense. I also prefer Japanese sunscreen because of the alcohol. Despite the drying effect, it applies effortlessly on the skin and doesn't leave any white cast. Additionally, the drying effect makes it more suitable for summer, and I agree that it dries down and goes into the skin faster.

You made me tingle the minute I read Japanese sunscreens 😂😂 So funny as I was an avid user is the skin aqua, it’s so elegant and I never burned with it. The only reason I stopped was was because of the alcohol. It didn’t effect me at all but I’m a 50 year old guy now and I always wondered if the alcohol long term would effect/age my skin a little so I went onto denatured alcohol free spf. However….. I was reading about the update with the more water, sweat resistant so I bought one again. I adore the size of them and they’re so cheap, around £12 here in the UK. Tried it today for the first time and it’s still just as elegant and awesome as I remember. Always get a little eye sting if I sweat a lot but apart from that I adore those stuff. Now you’ve approved it so I’m even more confident in it 👏🏻👏🏻 Awesome video doc ❤

i bought the nivea uv super watery gel and i didn’t like it, it still had sunscreen smell and it never absorbed fully, it truly feels like it is sitting on top of my skin plus it doesn’t work with my super oily skin (haven’t found any sunscreen that works with it) and i sweat so easily that anything melts off my skin and feels uncomfortable cause nothing controls my heavy sebum production

I think the most practical solution to do, is to actually visit Japan and try more sunscreens. There are SO many good options that don't get talked about, and instead everybody recommends the same ones over and over again.

You're sad, it's understandable, sorry for the hurricane. 😔 it's so terrible, I hope you're save and feeling better now.
