I love Japanese sunscreens, I visit Japan often and always stock up there as they are dirt cheap there. A lot of them have alcohol but I like how much more stronger they are than korean ones in terms of preventing burning and longer lasting. Allie and Anessa is my favourite brand. Im bilingual with Japanese so can read the ingredients, and almost all have alcohol. The ones I found that don't, are the kiss me mommy and canmake mermaid sunscreen, anessa mild milk, verdio and the curel sunscreens. Probably a lot more out there but out of the ones I bought in Japan these were alcohol free and sensitive skin friendly.

Not Alice dropping a Death Note reference so casually 😂 I still can't believe how inexpensive Asian sunscreens are compared to the west. Japan is even more insane with the bulk format. Up to 250ml/8.5floz for less than 15€. Btw, I've been using the Hada labo HA foaming cleaner (the one with the pump) for over a month and I can finally confirm that I found a non stripping Japanese cleanser 🎉

@@AliceintheRabbitHole There's also Curél with a line targeted for dry and sensitive skin. I think I got why the ones that come in tubes are quite stripping. You're supposed to use a very small amount and work it with a foaming net. You end up with a very thick foam like a shaving cream. I've got no time for that. I'm a lazy girl so the ones in the pump bottle work perfectly for me. Also my friend has dry skin and she's hooked on the Sana milk cleaner right now.

although sunscreen in japan have to pass in vivo test, water proof test of japanese sunscreen are not as strict as other country, they use in vitro system (test in pretri dish) contrast to other countries (in vivo and have to left half of sun protection on skin in korea and have to left full sun protection on skin in eu or usa etc.) that explain how they are super lightweight and cosmetics elegance, but be less in waterproofing. so even they might not the best sunscreen for swinming, I think it is perfect for summer and who sweat a lot, or ppl who work indoor but can't reapply

I’d heard great reviews for the Kose Suncut but I didn’t know there were gel and milk versions. I got the gel and it pilled for me, I was so disappointed! Then I watched a review from someone saying they went with the milk because the gel version had reviews about pilling, but not the milk, so I want to try the milk version this summer.

Do these burn if they get in your eyes? I've been working outside recently and it's super hot and humid (Louisiana) and SWEATY. Do you recommend the Nivea in this scenario or is there something better?

I don’t know what sorcery they have in Japan, but I have dry skin and the Japanese sunscreens with alcohol don’t dry my skin out. I’ve been using Biore watery essence off and on for about 10 years and I LOVE it! I wore it while in the Caribbean for 2 weeks and never burned.

can you please review the other version of the Nivea and skin aqua sunscreens because they both have a sister product labelled " essence" instead of "gel"

I liked the Kose a lot but threw it away after it tested way below SPF50. I wonder if that’s why they reformulated and added the zinc.

The death note reference 😊❤

Don't recall which Aqua Rich I tried because it was recommended as perfect for oily skin, but I hated it. It remained sticky on my face for hours. I don't have oily skin, but I usually prefer a "matte" or natural finish (but nonsticky) during hot and humid summers in NYC. Is this reformulation better? The only J beauty sunscreen I swear by for summers is Anessa one. It does have a matte finish, but I don't find it drying on my skin. The only drawback is it can have a bit of a white cast. Doesn't show up as much on my very fair skin, but I think it may be more of an issue for everyone else.

I find that the Japanese sunscreens tend to run very alcohol heavy and that it doesn't last as long on my skin unless it's water and sweatproof. I guess the oils in my skin break it down too fast and I have to reapply more often. But I'm with you, I can't use them too often or my face skin acts up.

I've been using jbeauty sunscreens for 10+ years until I switched to kbeauty sunscreen this year. Jbeauty sunscreen was just more expensive cost per oz than kbeauty. But I guess it's the kbeauty coming over here and becoming more popular now that they're cheaper. For example I used the biore uv aqua rich and all it's previous formulations for years and back in the day I bought it for $25 for the bottle! Now it's $18. But I just cracked open the scinic one and it can't be beat for $10! Edited to add: it's the watery essence Japanese version of the biore that's nicest. They recently made a formulation in Canada and that is NOT the same. 😂

Not Asian, but I'm using the daily facial sunscreen from Trader Joe's. I'm very oily, especially in summer here in FL, and I had been using Supergoop Unseen. It worked great but cost $38. The TJ version is exactly the same but only $9.

I felt like the reformulation (repackage?) of the Biore UV Gel was a little disappointing as previously, the small size pf the Gel was 90ml vs 50ml for the essence. I used it as a body sunscreen as it was the same price for almost twice the amount of the essence so I could put up with the almost glittery finish and the cast XD But now that both the Gel and Essence are 70ml, I just can’t really justify it over the essence when the essence just feels easier to apply and spread.

Great timing on your question! I’m writing up a post about this topic as I’ve noticed a lot of questions about this (should be coming today) So you mention a product that was just reformulated, meaning there will be slight changes in the texture/feel as well as the packaging. It’s a lot like the Suncut I show in this very video - soooo slight, but different. If someone doesn’t know about reformulation/repackaging, it could be easy to think it’s a fake!
