Shigaisen Yohou Non-Chemical UV Cream SPF50+ PA++++ 40g

I switched to Japanese and Korean sunscreens about 3 years ago, but like many people have struggled to find a physical-only product that can come anywhere near the cosmetic elegance of their chemical counterparts. I was pretty wary of spending $30 on this teeny tiny tube of sunscreen, but I have to say - it's the best, hands down. Feels super silky and leaves no white cast, as far as I can tell (YMMV of course; I have fair skin, but my yellow undertones + red overtones doesn't leave me totally immune). It wears great under makeup and is just an absolute pleasure to put on in the morning.If your budget allows, I think this product is worth the pricetag. Although you can probably find it for less going through an AB vendor, if you don't mind the hassle/longer shipping time.

This sunscreen piqued my interest because its a Japanese mineral actives only formulation. It costs a lot for a small tube. It’s nice on the skin, not drying and has high protection.Japanese sunscreens are awesome for their PPD rating system (persistent pigment darkening) because its exactly what I need in a sunscreen. I am trying to avoid further damage while treating my current hyperpigmentation, melasma and dark spot/wrinkles issues. This rates PA++++ which allows 16 times or more time in the sun. UVA is what they rate for, rather than american sunscreens are concerned with UVB for sun burns.The formula is nice, nearly invisible cast which is unusual for a mineral sunscreen, and its not drying...is rather comfortable to wear.It’s too expensive for a bitty little tube. I want to slather sunscreens on thickly and profusely, multiple times a day. This product is not cost efficient for me. Coppertone’s mineral botanical formula feels very similar and it costs 1/4 less for a huge 6 oz bottle. They are so similar i cringe at how much I paid for this teeny tube.

I bought a tube of non-chemical sunscreen I was in Japan and loved it for my super sensitive skin. Ran out of that product and couldn't find it in the US for a reasonable price so I was looking for an alternative non-chemical sunscreen that's sold in the US. Read the reviews and decided to give this a try. It's a bit runnier than the other product I used but still provides excellent protection. I've been on a few backpacking trips and no sunburns or worsening of my melasma so very happy to be able to find an effective non-greasy, non-sticky sunscreen that doesn't make my skin feel like it's suffocating underneath.

Great physical sunscreen, but being that it's a physical sunscreen it will be more drying by nature. I have very dry skin and find this to dry me out very badly if I don't moisturize well before putting it on. Other than that, it applys great, doesn't pill, feels lightweight, and doesn't leave a white cast (I'm pretty pale though). After researching countless physical sunscreens, I believe that this one has one of the best ingredient lists and is fairly safe for acne prone people like myself. Another tip for anyone new to physical sunscreens is to make sure to double cleanse with an oil cleanser at night to remove it because a normal cleanser won't get this off and could lead to clogged pores.

Sunblock is not an easy choice for me to select; because they are either too sticky/greasy or make my face too white (uneven tone). Then I have found this product and fell in love with it. Not only the sunblock is not sticky/greasy, it gives good coverage and great scent. When the shipment arrived, it even provided an official certified letter from the manufacture of giving the seller the right to sell its product from Japan. I thought that was very professional and unique.

For a mineral sunscreen this is goes on very smooth, the texture is thin making it easy to apply. What I like best is it doesn’t rub off or streak or feel heavy like other mineral sunscreens.

Good product, just little bit pricey
