"Waterproof" Korean and Japanese Sunscreens for the Summer | Non-Greasy

[@ThatsThatOnThat]

Surprised I didn’t see Biore UV Athlizm Skin Protect Essence SPF 50+ PA++++. Water and sweat resistant, they made it specifically for outdoor activities, sports, work outside, beach etc. It’s one of my favorite sunscreens!

[@gtan307]

Anessa has the fragrance free version called UV Perfect Mild Milk.

[@Lily_-iz4py]

Does it hv d same texture as d original one??

[@gtan307]

@@Lily_-iz4py They’re both velvety matte but the original gold milk is more “mattifying” and the mild milk is “dewier”. My oilier skin enjoy the original gold milk better when it comes to finish.

[@Lily_-iz4py]

@@gtan307 Ok thank u!!

[@sunshinewinnie]

I use anessa and it s perfect for humid and hot summer days

[@RockeyToes]

Thank you for the great SPF/waterproof recs! Florida has really hot/humid environment, add in hot flashes, and it's easy to see the SPF sliding south.... In winter, I love the Missha, I have used their Essence SPF for years. It's great for drier/mature skins. The only downside to Missha (and the Shiseido Anessa Perfect UV Sunscreen Skincare Milk) is it has fragrance.

[@becreb]

Thanks for your recommendations! I ordered some for an upcoming beach vacation. I use Asian sunscreens on a daily basis, but most of them aren’t water resistant. Hopefully these will have a similar feel and look as the ones I know and love while being water resistant!

[@RaidenHusky]

THANK YOU! I was looking for good "waterproof" recommendations! 💚

[@dr.jennyliu]

Happy to help!

[@ayeshaanum3241]

Which one is good for oily acne prone skin

[@Babypoohbear1990]

I really love the Japanese Skin aqua moisture milk in the blue bottle, no fragrance , milky lightweight texture, "waterproof" and no whitecast for me.

[@lonewolf5969]

How do you differ the milk from the gel? I used the gold gel one for some time i like it very much

[@sweetcarolineq]

Hi Dr. Liu, we went to Japan this summer and picked up the Biore UV Athlizm essence which is similar in texture to their popular Aqua Rich essence. Both very nice. I also got the Athizm milk which I quite like.

[@kmjdebay]

Yes! GlowbyRamon reviews both the Athlizm and the watery essence. Athlizm is their most "waterproof" sunscreen. Both come in 70ml tubes, so a better deal.

[@Inkeylist]

Other Asian countries have it, too. It is intended for heavy activities outdoor.

[@ToyCircle]

Kose Suncut has a line of sunscreen, I think it's called the "Perfect" line. There's multiple variations that come in gel, essence, milk and spray. The packaging is gold. They're all marketed as water-resistant. I've tried the gel, essence and milk versions, definitely would recommend.

[@cupiedoll9759]

Thank you for this sunscreen roundup. Very helpful ❤

[@Lily.593]

I really enjoyed the video🤩.My issue with “waterproof” sunscreens if that I have to wash it up with water to preform “Wudu” which is a preparation before prayers for muslim where we wash with water several body parts including the face. Some waterproof sunscreen leave a residue so I have to wash it with a cleanser to ensure proper ‘wudu’ which is a hassle and thats why I prefer non waterproof although I live in a hot humid climate. Can you do a video on “non waterproof” asian sunscreens for daily use too☺️

[@dr.jennyliu]

I have a video where I review popular Korean sunscreens please check that out

[@cautiouscoyote8590]

How are these around eyes? I would love to try Korean and Japanese sunscreens in hopes they help my issues: I live in the US, I'm in my 60s, and use mineral sunscreens on my face because the "chemical" sunscreens here often irritate my eyes (uncontrollable tears or sting) AND sometimes turn my white hair & brows & sweat-damp clothes ORANGE. What do you suggest? And thank you so much for your KZbin channel! I love your presentation style.

[@ambergerhelper7852]

I use mineral on/ around my eyes and chemical everywhere else.

[@nonyabizness956]

American chemical sunscreens sting my eyes very badly but I've been able to use at least the 'Isntree Hyaluronic Acid Watery Sun Gel' without any problems and it's much less drying than the mineral sunscreens I was using before. I think it's definitely worth a try! I'm planning on trying a few more of the Korean sunscreens with newer UV filters as the Isntree one was nice but a little too shiny for my taste.

[@beautybybella14]

Two things I'm wondering if you can comment on--1. how well do advanced filters work for preventing melasma? I'm reluctant to have my skin be the testing grounds, because that will cause a flare up I can't reverse! 2. How can we tell the Zinc oxide percentages on korean and japanese sunscreens? Or do you know for these specific sunscreens? That's one factor I've found helps with my melasma, and one of my hesitations from using them is that I have no idea what the zinc percentage is.

[@alexleee3885]

Hello Dr.Jenny😊 " After cleansing i go with vanicream lotion on damp skin ( let it fully dry ) and then I apply tretinoin ( wait for 1 - 2 mins ) and then apply vanicream Cream. what do you think of my method ?

[@dr.jennyliu]

Great!! Love it

[@noneofurbusiness5223]

@alexleee3995 It's called the sandwich method.

[@CW-ez7mn]

I tried the Korean and Japanese sunscreen, it feel good but I live in super hot and humid Florida and just being outside for few minutes to car or shop, the sunscreen is gone just from sweating. Forget about water activities. I now use their “water resistant ” sunscreen for daily use to job or errands so I have some product on after walking to my car. The American and Aussie brand are much better for my active days but not perfect. I really need better coverage, higher protection and more water resistance…any recommendations for very active people out on water 6+ hours and reapplying every 2-3 hours barely helps.

[@barbievale]

I don't know if you're still taking recommendations, but I live in the Caribbean, no ac, have used these at the beach and the pool with ZERO sunburn and I'm pale: Missha Waterproof in the morning, reapply with Abib Waterproof Sun Stick every 2 hours. That's for the face and neck btw. I use American sunscreens for the body.

[@CW-ez7mn]

@@barbievale thank you. I am willing to try again to find better sunscreen.

[@kousarkhan7673]

Hi, Dr. I have hyperpimentation problem, my skin type is very sensitive. Tried various anti hyperpigmented ointments but no visible outcome. Can you suggest something .

[@cristinal8360]

Thank you for the recommendations. I am glad that one of the options was cruelty free 😊.

[@jensilberberg196]

All of these, I'm assuming, are targeted for the face, is that right? Or even if they can be used on the body since all sunscreens are meant to be applied to skin (Oops you just mentioned that the first two can be used on the face AND body)....but if I'm gonna splurge on the Shiseido Anessa, it could get pricey at almost $30 a small bottle if you're covering your arms, chest and legs as well as your face. What I'm asking for basically is another video highlighting the best Asian sunscreens for body...maybe selections that come in larger bottles and are at a less expensive price point (without sacrificing quality and performance if possible). I love your channel and always listen to what you have to say about skincare. Great video!

[@AasiShaikh-m1b]

Suggest some body sunscreen pls

[@Truffoire]

So beautiful! I'm eager to try it out. 😍🙌

[@deborah972]

Thank you Dr jenny liu you very beautiful 😊❤xx

[@speedy5186]

Is the make prem uv defense sun fluid water resistant? My husband likes this one and it comes in 150ml. I'm looking for a water resistant sunscreen that is a larger bottle like the make prem.

[@krystelaban216]

I love the “Kanebo Allie Uv gel ex” it is a hybrid waterproof sunscreen

[@erinwhite276]

I am new to Asian skin and hair care products. What are some products that I could use for dry/dehydrated, acne-prone skin with redness? I currently have a tret prescription(0.05%), but I feel like it hasn’t done much but irritate my skin. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks.

[@dr.jennyliu]

Love purito centella cream, and I think the Dr Ceuracle sunscreen would be a good option

[@jstn1of1]

Have you tried the CNP Laboratory Sun Fluid? I was on the fence between getting that or the Isa Knox Sunscreen

[@sehnazahmed9925]

Please recommend sunscreen safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding

[@HunterDriguez]

Why does the Cica sunscreen say “with baby” on the front? 👀

[@kameshinipillay4587]

Super helpful thanks!

[@OliaKonJo]

I noticed any of these spf creams consistent of any form of alcohol or benzoyl, benzo etc will irritate my skin. I read ingredients now

[@cfaithn]

The Biore sunscreen left a white cast on my skin. Are any of these options white cast free?

[@P0wer0ut]

There’s one called “Kose-Suncut UV Perfect Gel Super Water Proof” that has zero cast!

[@briabiscuit]

Do they have a lot of knockoffs for these products when you buy off of amazon like there are for other japanese skincare products

[@rainyxyz]

I'm using Dr G Mild Up sunscreen and every time it creates a hydrophobic layer on my face and my hands 😂 so I presume that's fine too

[@P0wer0ut]

One not mentioned that I love is Kose Suncut UV Perfect Gel Super Water Proof!

[@Nubesyxochis]

Is it also a chemical or hybrid sunscreen?

[@olinayoung6287]

Thanks! ❤

[@MelissaK295]

Hi! Are these safe for breastfeeding?

[@mdcoolcat]

Do you recommend any of these for kids? (Not baby)

[@AmelSalhi-u7o]

thank you for the informations, very good content as always, good continuation doctor. I take this opportunity to ask my question and I hope to have some help here , I still suffer from brown spots, acne scars, dilated pores, i think its kind od melasma what im facing here I tried peels, laser, led ex.. but it didn't work especially when I expose myself to the sun I go back to zero, I watched your videos on brown spots and I prepared a morning and evening routine list and I hope to have your opinion if possible of course. morning routine: 1.cerave cleanser 2.glycolic acid% 3.niacinamide10% 4.alpha arbutin 5. vitamin c la roche posay 6.acid azelaic the ordinary Night routine: 1.cleaner 2.crave retinol and thanks in advance.

[@tiffp323]

Hi Dr Liu, I was wondering if you could do a comparison video between Avene and La Roche Posay as well as maybe Vichy (particularly their mineral 89 product) as they all claim to contain special thermal/thermal spring and/or mineral water. Thanks in part to your channel, recently trying these brands products and enjoying them.

[@anoumoys4402]

anessa and kose suncut are NOT waterproof. They dissolve in the water and can be removed easily as well. Thank me later;)

[@ayeshaanum3241]

So which one is yours preference to buy for extremely humid placed?

[@OliaKonJo]

Beauty of joseon. Love

[@saffy_9967]

Find a spf for oily skin that doesn’t leave a white cast challenge:impossible 😭

[@rinaflores4324]

I'm using anessa but the fragrance is awful and too strong for me.

[@cebamy]

I’m disappointed these are not fragrance-free

[@esthertatis2260]

Which is the best sunscreen for hypertension.

[@wiseowl1580]

Appreciate the video but they were ALL fragranced. 😢

[@Victorlesmono]

Try suncut/ skin aqua

[@misscamay]

bought Isa Knox as suggested, big mistake - greasy, sticky, not dewy but cooking oil level greasy, stings eyes…. do not buy!

[@asltina]

Really?? It's the best sunscreen I've ever used in my life and I've tried MANY!

[@asltina]

I would DEFINITELY recommend this sunscreen 100%!

[@jensilberberg196]

Hi Dr. Jenny....my name (or nickname) is Jenny too! I was wondering if you could recommend a Korean sunscreen (it has to be water-resistant, because I live in Las Vegas where the sun is super bright and extreme heat of summer lasts well through September and even October). I am 44 years old, so you could describe my skin type as mature and oily. I even was more acne-prone when I was younger but I do still break out every now and then despite having been on tretinoin (through Agency, as a derm you have probably heard of them or seen the ads).Im getting great results from the tretinoin treatment,but unfortunately Ive experienced a mild face burn or two from the combination of the relentless desert sun out here in combination with the fact that retinoids like tretinoin increase your sensitivity to those UV rays. Ive heard fantastic things about K-beauty sunscreens,particularly the superiority of the formulas and filters. I had heard such great things about Beauty of Josiah and Innisfree, but neither is water resistant as far as I can tell.It also does matter a LOT to me how well the sunscreen performs under makeup, as I wear it more days than not. Anything that you know of sound like a good fit for me? If so please reply to this comment. Great video by the way and you have such gorgeous skin (I guess not too surprising due to your profession, lol).
