I’m also team Nivia Super Water Gel. Discovered it last year, working on the first bottle with my sister. 8 months in…still more left. I also like Canmake Mermaid Skin Gel UV as a primer and slight tone up effect. Also small and portable.

[@SemekiIzuio]

I appreciate the honesty and actual footage of applications of use lending real credibility. Ive tried various ones here like Neutrogena Sunbum Cooperstone Banana Boat Hawaiian Tropic YOU NAME IT! All of them either were too strong irritant drying or melted off. My next was going to be Cer Ve and Nivea super gel. I will add Biore to the list. Also I loved you excitement and energy, happy person 😊

[@buildyourmoxie]

@@SemekiIzuio 😍yay! It’s time to switch over to Japanese sunscreen! 🔥❤️ I’ve used all the ones you have mentioned for most of my life and then I found Asian sunscreens and fell in love. It’s so nice not having white casts and this thick goop that breaks me out 😅 Let me know how you like the Nivea and biore! 🤩

[@corlissyamasaki3476]

I love the Biore UV Aqua Rich. Used Neutrogena for years but I didn't like it.

[@matchababyy]

i’ve been using the skin aqua uv moisture gel/gold for almost 3 years now and its so good especially when wearing make up. 😍

[@buildyourmoxie]

@@matchababyy I love how it feels!! It’s my go to for my intense days 🤭 So glad to see that you love it!! 😍

[@agiles6483]

Yes! I also put the Nivea Super Water Gel in the #1 place on my list of most loved and used Korean and Japanese sunscreens. I also appreciates that it is hydrating.

[@buildyourmoxie]

😍that is amazing!! I love it so much and so glad you do too hehe. What are some of your other favorites?

[@bridgetphillips7462]

Yes! 100% agree with your #1. I've been using it for several years and have never found a better one. Love it ❤️

[@buildyourmoxie]

Yay!! I love that you also have it at your top! I was pleasantly surprised to read a lot of the comments that say they also like it!! Thank goodness haha.

[@victoriaczarina]

Just returned from 2 week holiday in tokyo and osaka. Thanks for all the recom, tips and tricks… and this video i watched over and over, bulk buyed your top 3 sunscreen. Im happy! 👍

[@buildyourmoxie]

🤩omg how wonderful!! So glad to hear you got all the goodies on your holiday!! Please let me know how you like the sunscreen! 😱❤️

[@buildyourmoxie]

@@ve70v awww 😍🤩thank you for being so nice to me hehe! Of course! I loved testing them all out!! I kept walking by all these everywhere in Japan! My top 4 were soooo great!

[@raizaasuncion3684]

The super water gel is also my fave! Been using it for about 3 years now! But just FYI there are refills for this! I have 2 pumps. And then I just always but refills 🙂

[@buildyourmoxie]

@@raizaasuncion3684 yay! 🤩 another super water gel fan!! Thanks for sharing!! Oo yes! I’ve seen those refill packs! I’m gonna pick some up next time! I leave all pumps at work, home, purse, car 🤭. It’s a problem! I love that you have been using for 3 years! You are amazing ❤️❤️

[@joycechang9909]

OMG that’s a lot of sunscreen 😂 Great review Erica! Thanks for doing the work for us, I agree with your results! ❤

[@buildyourmoxie]

Haha!! That’s why it’s taken me so long to review these 🤣 Thanks joycey!!!!

[@eve_09alv60]

This video coming around right as I’m on the hunt for a new sunscreen ! I’ve already owned some Japanese ones but I’ll have to give the Nivea one a try thank you!!

[@buildyourmoxie]

@@eve_09alv60 yay! I hope you like it!!

[@yatubik]

So Nivea Super Water Gel is actually inferior to pretty much all other sunscreens mentioned on the video because while it feels it spreads well it doesn’t provide a good UV coverage and their UVA rating is lower meaning it lets through more dangerous UVA sun rays through. Anessa UV Mill has the most superior protection if anyone is interested (and that is why it’s more expensive but totally worth it)

[@anns2224]

This is very helpful! Thank you so much🤗

[@buildyourmoxie]

@@anns2224yay I’m so glad!! 😍 when do you go to Japan?

[@michaelgleason9083]

Once again, great information! I will save this video for my trip in December! I will also share with my wife. now I’m gonna do you a solid! There’s a movie out called “Touch “.

[@anthonybarton3850]

I love Japanese Sunscreen! Thank you for doing this review. I really like the Anessa one you reviewed but I do understand that it is more expensive (though totally worth it). I am excited to try some of the others you recommended since you seemed to rank them higher than the Anessa. Thank you for all your hard work and research! =)

[@buildyourmoxie]

@@anthonybarton3850 🥰thank you for your kind words! Anessa has also revamped their formula! I didn’t try the newest one so maybe next time I’ll be able to rank it higher. 😁 but it is more expensive so it will have to really outperform the others to get a higher score lol

[@pandarush.]

​@buildyourmoxie oh boy, I hope you can help. What about those of us that do not check bags at the airport? I won't be able to bring that much liquid home. Can you recommend a solid sunscreen that isn't heavy, and works on face and body, please? Thank you!

[@buildyourmoxie]

Try the Suncut or Cut UV solid bar one at donquijote! I haven’t tried it but I see it a lot so it must be good!

[@pandarush.]

@@buildyourmoxie Hello again. Do Japanese sunscreens block UVA and UVB rays? Thank you!

[@jeanwangg]

I love nivea sunscreen and biore. the watery ones are always the best. I've been using your #1 for many years and buy the refills whenever I go to japan. Great for body sunscreen too :D the sunscreen always comes in one without the pump with is more travel friendly.

[@rosieweaselby]

Hiii, your #1 is also my #1, just wanted to drop in and advise that you look up how to properly use sunscreen just because you mentioned a lot about being able to spread a little a long way and using very little, but to get the SPF value and protect yourself properly you do need to use a certain amount of any sunscreen for it to be effective. It dries down so well that you can use a good amount of it.

Hello. I am currently in Kyoto and wanted to buy Nivea body lotion marshmallow in Don Q. They don’t have marshmallow. I got 1 from other store while in Osaka since Don Q OSA does not have it. I like this marshmallow coz it is not sticky in & out from the heat. Where else could I get this Nivea marshmallow in Kyoto ?

@@yasmine02october hi!! Try regular pharmacy! Like those shops you just see on normal streets. Usually they are closer to konbini!

[@WaffleRedondo]

Don't buy the Nivea Super Water Gel. It's SO bad on getting a good Even layer on the skin. Try it on a UV camera to see it doesn't get a good grip and doesn't stay even on the skin. You won't get the 50 SPF with it at all.

[@yatubik]

Exactly! It may be spf 20 at best with mediocre UVA protection.
