Rohto Mentholatum released a new Skin Aqua UV Super Moisture Essence Gold SPF 50+ PA++++ this Spring in Japan and it’s an excellent pick for anyone with drier skin. I’m a big fan of the original Skin Aqua UV Super Moisture Gel SPF 50+ PA++++ but the filters aren’t as great as the ones you’ll find in this new UV Super Moisture Essence Gold SPF 50+ PA++++!
Ok, so, don’t kill me but I did say this was ideal for drier skin….! Keep in mind it does contain alcohol which may or may not play nicely with your skin. I’m having no issues with it at all! No tightness, no dryness after use, all I get is smooth, lightly hydrated skin when this sets. Even in air conditioner the alcohol doesn’t seem to play havoc with my drier skin. However, if you’re avoiding alcohol you might need to look elsewhere for your sun protection as this contains plenty of it.
Skin Aqua UV Super Moisture Essence Gold SPF 50+ PA++++ arrives in a squeeze tube that’s 2.8 oz in size and $16 on the secondary market (in Japan it’ll run you about 1,000 yen not on sale which is roughly around $9 and a bit of change).
It’s formulated for both body and face and they consider it sweat proof in higher temperatures. I am the mentality it’s a good lightweight sunscreen but I have my doubts about using it in stronger sun situations like say at a theme park or an outdoor concert. It’s also, not something I’d use on my body nor do I think...
