Good
Good product, just little bit pricey
Mineral Sunscreen
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 doesnโt rub off or streak or feel heavy like other mineral sunscreens.
HG Physical Sunscreen
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.<br /><br />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.
favorite non-chemical sunblock!
I have re-ordered this sunblock several times now and really like it for my face for day to day wear (it's a bit pricey for full body). It doesn't leave a white cast on me (granted I don't have dark skin, but I don't see a white sheen that I see from most other non-chemical sunblocks). It blends into my skin easily and works under make up on those occasions I add it. It has a bit of a matte texture, and seems to with stand hot humid conditions fairly well. Most important doesn't irritate my skin, and I don't actually feel it on me. I find in the evening using an oil cleaner is the easiest to remove it. Oh yeah and no noticeable scent which is a huge plus!<br /><br />side note: the price is actually about the same as when I have bought it in Japan.
Best physical sunscreen, I stopped looking for alternatives
This is basically my go-to sunscreen now. I love it so much, some people experience a white cast with it, even those with pale skin (mine is not that pale. NC 25 maybe? I do well with natural beige), but that hasn't been my experience at all. It goes on smoothly, protects well, high SPF, doesn't pill. Not sure if my layering helps - I layer a bunch of stuff beneath sunscreen (Paula's Choice salicylic acid, Hada Labo Premium Hyaluronic Acid Lotion, Vit C, HABA squalane, Vanicream moisturizer in the tube), and my husband can't even tell I have sunscreen on (usually he always complains about the white cast and how "I want to be pale". I don't dude, white cast is not intentional!)<br /><br />Been using Japanese sunscreens for several years, chemical and physical. I have tried many Japanese physical sunscreens: &free whitening UV cream (excellent, except... it pills so that's a deal breaker), Biore UV Kids Pure Milk (absolutely the worst experience putting it on, it's a greasy mess, but once on the cast fades. It's accetapble as a budget option but I don't feel like torturing myself), Pigeon UV Baby Milk Waterproof (white cast noticeable, takes a while to fade, smells kinda zinc-y, but it would be my 2nd choice after the Shigaisen Yohou). Shigaisen Yohou is an absolute winner for me, and now it's available on Amazon US so I don't bother with anything else anymore.
Excellent sunscreen
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.
Teeny little bottle - too expensive - nice product though
This sunscreen piqued my interest because its a Japanese mineral actives only formulation. It costs a lot for a small tube. Itโs nice on the skin, not drying and has high protection.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />The formula is nice, nearly invisible cast which is unusual for a mineral sunscreen, and its not drying...is rather comfortable to wear.<br /><br />Itโs 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. Coppertoneโs 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.
best sunscreen I've ever tried
best sunscreen and most comfortable sunscreen I've tried, I just hope it wasn't so expensive. it's a really tiny bottle for the price
