SKIN AQUA SUNSCREEN Tested - The Results Explained | Japanese Sunscreen Testing

[@MadAboutSkin]

Hey guys and welcome to todays video where we take a look at the recent testing on Skin Aqua sunscreens. In this video we focus on the SPF rating but this is only half the story and of course the PA or UVA rating is just as important and I will be covering this in another video... sending you lots of love xxxxx

[@davidkovac4080]

Do you know the results? 🥺

[@jenblack98]

The fact that there are two other tests showing that it's an SPF of around 44 then i could trust that this product can be trusted. Unless your doctor is telling you to wear SPF 50 then for most of us there isn't that much difference between 44 and 50 particularly if you reapply it regularly and use enough. It's not like they're advertising spf 50 and it really only has SPF 10.

[@Aki-wq6xh]

Thank you!!! So true.

[@MadAboutSkin]

I totally agree with you hun and I think its a shame they didnt put the true SPF on the bottle but it doesn't mean its not giving us the right protection... sending you lots of love xxxxx

[@chandracox6814]

There actually isn't much difference between SPF 30 and 50....SPF 30 blocks around 96% of sun's Ray's while SPF 50 blocks around 97%. Not much of a difference so yes, SPF 44 is not much different than SPF 50. But we need to do more than use sunscreen daily to protect ourselves from sun exposure like SPF clothing, wearing hats (baseball hats, sun hats, whatever suits you best), going in the shade whenever possible, etc.

[@kimebina2586]

@@chandracox6814 yes, and it depends a lot on the amount u apply . An spf 50 is useless if it’s not applied in good amounts .

SPF 44 for a daily use sunscreen that wears like there’s nothing there? I’ll take it. I do however hope this makes them increase the amount of filters so they achieve the advertised spf.

I totally agree, its not the worst though I do with they would change it a little to make it spf50 or change the claim on the bottle... sending you lots of love xxxx

[@ts121084]

It does have the advertised SPF, which was determined after an in vivo test (on human skin). Third-party spectrophotometry tests are not standardized or reliable!

[@colinf2316]

I still have full faith in Kose and KAO sunscreens. I use them religiously and have yet to get burnt. Apply thick and re-apply regularly! No issues!

[@lorainemcgillivray77]

Hi Rob there will always be a range of results depending on the shades of skin tested eg I'm super super pale (fitzpatrick one) and burn very easily. Most spf's tested on Asian skintones will not give me the advertised spf on the bottle, as I burn far easier than darker skin does. If I use an spf with a 30 or higher, plus seek shade and wear appropriate clothing etc then I'm doing the best I can on a daily basis. Until spf testing is standardised throughout the industry and they use a wide range of skintones to get an average spf rating, this will continue. If a person knows they're more sensitive to the sun then spf alone will never be enough to completely protect the skin. Even with a good base layer and reapplication, it's never going to be enough to completely protect us. Hats, seeking shade, UPF clothing, wrap around sunglasses etc etc are always going to be needed. For me some fading of freckles, no signs of any pinkness, no prickly heat (which I'm very prone to) are all indications my spf is working relatively well for me. I think we just have to modify some of the behaviour spf can encourage, as we often have a false sense of security when wearing it thinking it does more than it can. I'm currently using mineral spf's for reasons of sensitivity etc, but that doesn't mean I don't trust chemical filters. I used ultrasun for a long time until my rosacea made that impossible (the alcohol burns/stings) and always felt it gave good sun protection for me. I still use their lip spf balm and enjoy it. This ongoing spf debacle is a big issue, but wearing an spf is always better than not wearing it. However trusting it to protect us without the other measures is when i believe we get into trouble. An spf 44 - 48 is a decent spf and not the 12 to 28 some of the recent issues have highlighted for other brands. Best wishes.

[@chandracox6814]

This is the best comment and so true. SPF testing needs to be regulated and tested on various Fitzpatrick levels to ensure proper results. And yes I agree, people tend to think that just because they wear sunscreen daily that they're fine to be out in the sun all day and have this preconceived notion that it's enough for protection. I agree that we as a whole need to look at this and reevaluate sun exposure and better ways to protect ourselves other than using sunscreen every day. Thanks for this comment!!

[@roshni6767]

If the clear Canmake doesn’t pass not only the UVB but UVA rating, it’s over for me

[@ts121084]

It is illegal in Japan to slap random SPF and PA ratings on a sunscreen product. The ratings you see on Canmake sunscreens were determined following in vivo tests on human skin (the gold standard). Third-party, non-standardized spectrophotometry tests are not reliable. Just ignore!

[@concisekrevin3802]

Spf 4X is acceptable, it definitely has statistic error that can happen depending on amount of testing times.

I hope the Canmake mermaid gel(clear gel) passes the test. It's the one I currently use. Rob, can you do a video on high PPD European and Canadian sunscreens we can trust? Sunscreens we can wear everyday. Most of the high PPD sunscreens are either too greasy or too drying or have nano sized actives or have fragrance/denatured alcohol. I am wondering if there are good ones out there.

Hello :) Just wanted to point out that the pump bottle is not the same as the Sunplay version of the Skin Aqua sunscreen. I used to think the same but someone corrected me. The SPF 44 belongs to the Sunplay version of it while the pump bottle version is the one being suspected. I’m not sure if you’re mixing them up

Don't think there have been any Aussie sunscreens failing recently but obviously spf is easy to get wrong across the board.

[@ViardotVSGrisi]

With summer approaching and all the question marks around SPF accuracy, my current strategy is to apply a sunscreen, let it set, and reapply other brands from other continents on top of the original layer throughout the day. Due to sensitive eyes, I have to use mineral around my eyes and chemical for the rest of my face, so I’m used to mix-matching. I expect that at least one SPF will hold up. My current strategy is “more + more = more”. I will continue to explore European and Australian brands as well as retested Korean and Japanese sunscreens and add them to the mix.

This might not be the best idea as sometimes some sunscreen filters can cancel out others.

All I can say is thank goodness I have this channel to keep me up on the latest sunscreen issues. One thing I remind myself is that dermatologists suggest an SPF of 30. The most important issue for me is am I reapplying my sunscreen often enough? (My sunscreen recommends to reapply every 80 minutes.) And when I am spending the day out in the sun, I always wear a large brimmed hat and sunglasses... which adds another layer of protection for my face. I'm a bit suspicious of "new" ways of testing. And, like you, it needs to be tested on real skin! Thank you for all the time you have spent researching these issues. Much love to you Rob! Patti xxx ❤️😃

[@eonarts]

What kind of dermatologist do you go to??!! I’ve not had one say that 30 spf is good enough since the late 80’s! In the last 20 years my dermatologists have said: 50 is perfect as long as you wear 2 different brands and apply what each recommends, reapply, cover up. Generally they’re surprised but not surprised I’ve been doing that for 20+ years! Though I tend to use a first application of a 30 with extra skin stuff incl moisturizing ingredients, (::sob:: Purito green spf 30 was the best!). I’m using CeraVe am moisturizer (spf 30) at the moment but my feelings are meh.

The only one I have found that works for my sensitive eyes is the Neutrogena Sensitive Skin Liquid sunscreen for the face, SPF 60. It does leave a slight white cast on my skin, and I am very fair. But it is worth it! I use the sunscreens that didn't work out on my body. Maybe Rob will do a video on sunscreens for sensitive eyes and skin!

[@ananyam5628]

@@Patti-1962 thank you Patti! I’m usually alright with sunscreens but for some reason the altruist one has now started to sting later in the day. I don’t think the neutrogena one is available in the UK sadly but I’ll keep an eye out, thank you :)

[@Patti-1962]

@@ananyam5628 I was wondering about the availability of that sunscreen. I’m so glad you found something that works for you, Ananya. (What a beautiful name!)

[@whatsup968]

The only problem with testing on skin is some countries do not have as much diversity in skin tones as others. If we were able to standardize off-skin testing then it might be helpful for people buying internationally

[@benjamincarter5563]

Hi! I had bought this spf before I knew the spf testing. I’m also looking to know the PA rating. Do you know what that rating is currently?

[@murshadasultana3844]

Is the ingredients good for health? Thank you!

[@muyang686]

This document says the Skin Aqua gel is made in China. Anyone else caught that?

[@meghanholmgren1801]

😭 my favorite sunscreen.

[@MadAboutSkin]

Dont worry hun its not terrible and i hope this video explains why it is still ok to use for most. Sending lots of love xxxx

[@Mitaaa6404]

Dear it is sun safe or not or faking the spf?

[@Shime98]

Does anyone have any info about hada labo’s spf? more precisely their uv white gel spf 50? is it still safe to use?

Hi hun, they havent released anything on it yet but I will let you know as soon as they do... sending you lots of love xxxx

How about the gold version of this sunscreen?

Any idea what UVA rating is on this product? Love your videos, thanks!!!

Hi Rob Can you please make a video of SKIN AQUA CLEAR WHITE SPF 50 PA++++ Review as well, its usually available in our asian country. Quite worried about it

[@MadAboutSkin]

Hi hun, i need to do some more research into it but i will be doing a review in the next month.. sending you lots of love xxx

[@nuon2123]

Hi rob acn you please clear this up there is an ongoing discussion that rohto skin aqua uv moisture gel in pump has removed uvinul A and tinosorb from its ingredients list as filters so it isn't providing the mentioned PA++++ rating that is labeled on the pump. Is it true?? What filters are they using now?

[@MadAboutSkin]

Hi hun, there are different formulations depending on where in the world you are and the exact manufacturer as they use multiple labs with different formations so its super confusing.. sending you lots of love xxxx

[@nikkilope5285]

This is getting seriously annoying! This is the third one I’ve been using regularly that I than find out the spf is not accurate. 😫

[@แม่บ้านอัพเกรด]

In conclusion, is this one good and is it alcohol-based, can sensitive skin use it?

[@MadAboutSkin]

Hi hun, I would avoid it as I think there are better formulations on the market... sending you love xxxxx

[@cathl104]

Hi. Does this need make up remover to remove or normal cleanser is enough to do the removal ?

[@greenhealergreenhealer3191]

Another vert interesting vidéo from you, big thanks... For my my part importante will stick to some European formulas such as la roche pose shaka organisations Vichy... Spf50 plus and entremêly high UVA protection, àlong with a very light texture...

[@MadAboutSkin]

Thank you so so much hun and thank you so much for sharing your experience xxxxx

[@Lily_-iz4py]

According to dat test evn brands lyk LRP and Avene provide less protection dan advertised 😨😨

[@fabiobelga1]

I didn't understand what is the ppd level

[@watermelonlemon342]

Do I need to wait for some time before using a foundation when I use this sunscreen?

[@MadAboutSkin]

Hi hun, no I would leave it a few mins to sink in but no need to leave it longer than that.. sending you lots of love xxxx

[@แม่บ้านอัพเกรด]

Does it contain alcohol and clog pores?

[@anna94k]

What about UVA? Is it really pa++++?

I wonder whether Allie & Verdio have gone through the test or not

Hello! Can you please tell me is this sunscreen Comodogenic since it has talc in it and will it cause me acne because of it?

[@Hunter-ew2ve]

It does not have talc in it.

[@sophiarose8127]

I thought this was a cruelty free channel.

[@MadAboutSkin]

Hi hun thank you so much for watching.. It is and i try to make all my recommendations cruelty free.. This is not a CF product as far as i am aware but i dont recommend it in the video i just wanted to make sure people were up to date on the situation. There are amazing CF sunscreen options out there if its your primary purchasing decision and i covered them in a previous video.. Sending lots of love xxxxx

[@sandokero]

Any news about Anessa?

[@MadAboutSkin]

Hi hun, I believe there has been some recently I will need to have a look into it and double check though but i think it was all good but I will need to confirm xxxx

[@YanLuo]

For Japanese sunscreens, my concern is more alcohol and fragrance and now radioactive 💧

[@philippillis9393]

Many of them are fragrance free and alchol is not an issue they're all moisturizing.

[@timetraveler_0]

While you guys root for these Japanese sunscreen and, even worse, brand companies from Korea that just slap their label on the packet. I'm out here actually protecting my skin, don't want to grow old only to know that the sunscreen I used for year had some dubious filters, faulty testing or shitty regulatory body. I have tired more than 30 sunscreen and have settled on LRP shaka fluid, these Asia brands are not worth the headache.
