I prefer Japanese sunscreens. More elegant. I like Biore UV Bright Milk, Biore UV Kids Milk, Make Pr:em UV Defense Me, Japanese NIvea Water Gel, or Skin Aqua Super Moisture Milk.

​

I've tried the first four. Ordering fifth soon. Guess I'm collecting sunscreens now. :D

Is it this one?

Here’s the link about the new version: https://www.amazon.co.jp/スキンアクア-スーパーモイスチャーミルク/dp/B07NDVCBVR/ref=dp_ob_title_hpc

Edit:
The new packaging has the same color of the old packaging (https://www.ratzillacosme.com/sun/mentholatum-skin-aqua-uv-moisture-milk/). The old version, however, is only PA+++, while the new version is PA++++ just like the 2017 version and the repackaging in 2018.

I've purchased it twice so far, the most recent being September 4th. Both times, I've purchased it specifically from the seller Sakura Osaka, and I've had no problems.

They re-packaged to a light blue bottle (what the yellow bottle was) and a pink bottle (tinted-ish version) for 2019.

Theres a new 2019 version of Skin Aqua Moisture milk, anyone tried it yet?

As far as I know it's legit... I'm not aware of fake products though. Was rated 4.5+ stars and quality is right on par with what I expected.

Here is what I ordered, link from my account: link

I clicked on the link that says "other sellers on amazon" and clicked "prime only." There's two options and I believe I went with Tokyo Japan shop, got it the next day.

Here's a link to Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/SKIN-AQUA-Super-Moisture-version/dp/B07NDVCBVR/ref=asc_df_B07NDVCBVR/?tag=bingshoppinga-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid={creative}&hvpos={adposition}&hvnetw=o&hvrand={random}&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=e&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl={devicemodel}&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=&hvtargid=pla-4584482457673101&psc=1
Prices seem to be high for it lately. I'm sure it will come down soon. You could try eBay, Dokodemo or Kirei Station to see if it's cheaper on any of those. If you have an HG Japanese sunscreen, I highly suggest keeping a stock of them -- they sometimes get expensive or hard to find temporarily.

Routine:

AM

Rinse face with warm water

Melano CC vitamin C serum

Hada Lobo hyaluronic acid toner

Cetaphil face and body moisturizer

Skin AQUA sunscreen


PM

CeraVe Foaming Facial Cleanser

For actives, I rotate between TO 10% azelaic acid, Stridex BHA wipes, and TO 10% lactic acid.

More cetaphil

I have sensitive, dry skin that is incredibly acne prone. I have suffered from hormonal acne for most of my life, and I have a really bad habit of picking my face, leading to a ton of PIH that needed to be addressed. The vitamin C and the AHA have really helped to fade these spots a ton, and I just purchased TO niacinamide + zinc to naybe accelerate the process. This subreddit has been an absolute goldmine for information, and it has really helped me get confidence back in my skin. Thanks a ton, everyone!

I’m looking for a nighttime moisturizer or toner recommendation based on the sunscreen that works for me.

My skin is easily dehydrated and also easily gets closed comodones and breakouts with certain moisturizers, but it loves SKIN AQUA Super Moisture Milk SPF50 PA ++++.


I don’t know what it is about the sunscreen that my face loves but it’s so hydrating and doesn’t make my face feel inflamed at all, unlike most skin products I try. Can anyone that also uses that sunscreen share other moisturizing products that worked for their skin?

I also have skin that tans and never burns. For the longest time, I assumed I didn’t have to wear sunscreen. But the thing is, for people like us, the damaging rays are not the UVB rays that cause sunburns but the UVA rays that cause skin damage and aging. So good UVA protection is what you’ll want to focus on. Here’s a link to a super informative chart comparing UV filters by what spectrum they protect against, stability and how irritating they are. I’ll try to share a little bit of what I’ve learned after spending a long time looking for the perfect sunscreen for my sensitive skin. Hopefully this post isn’t too long!

At least in the US, there is no indication of the UVA protection your sunscreen is providing as the SPF rating system we use only indicates the UVB protection. I’m not 100% sure but I think the UK/EU has some way of indicating UVA protection on the bottle as a percentage of the SPF but imo it’s not an idea rating system. But at least it’s something. Asian sunscreens really have the best way of relaying the UVA protection of the sunscreen to the consumer. You’ll notice PA(++++) on Asian sunscreens with more plus signs indicating better protection.

You seem to want something that feels light on the skin and Asian (typically Korean and Japanese) sunscreens have a reputation for being much more “cosmetically elegant” than western sunscreens. It can be kind of hard to find Asian sunscreens that don’t have fragrance but I have a few that I like. Rohto Skin Aqua Super Moisture Milk is a fave of mine. I’m not sure what you meant by “sketchy ingredients” but this is a combination chemical + mineral, fragrance free and isn’t sticky at all. It has Zinc Oxide as its primary UV filter which is great at blocking UVB and UVAI+II. It also uses Octinoxate and a filter that I believe is only available in Asia, Uvinul A Plus (another UVA filter). Though it isn’t a mineral only sunscreen, I haven’t experience any irritation from it. It doesn’t have any of the chemical filters that are typically known for causing irritation. Hada Labo also makes a few really awesome hydrating sunscreens that are fragrance free but I believe they are also chemical/mineral. I haven’t been able to find a mineral only Asian sunscreen without fragrance, botanicals or a white cast. Btw if you’re not familiar with Asian sunscreen be aware that the bottles are itty-bitty!

For mineral only sunscreens, my favorite by far is the CotZ Sensitive Mineral Face & Body.
They have a tinted and non-tinted version and they also have a version for the face that goes on like a primer. You might prefer that one as it’s very matte. I prefer the Face and Body one because it’s 20% Zinc Oxide which means great UVA protection. There are silicones in it so it’s moisturizing and doesn’t have that white cast mineral sunscreens often have. Fragrance free of course and free of any irritating plant extracts or essential oils. I also like EltaMD Mineral and TiZo mineral sunscreens but those are a bit pricey.

I’m not sure which Australian Gold sunscreen you were looking at but in my experience Australian Gold sunscreens have an absolutely massive amount of fragrance. The fragrance is actually a huge part of their brand. It’s possible the one you’re looking at is fragrance free and if so, give it try! Lol It kind sounds like I’m shilling for Asian sunscreens in this post but the CoTz is actually my daily sunscreen. It’s the perfect combo of non-irritating, UVA protection and moisturizing at a reasonable price considering the size of the bottle. Hopefully this post helped you out and wasn’t too boring!

Edit: why the fuck do I bother 🙄

This one right? Does it last a while?
