    Kao’s Biore UV Aqua Rich is a Japanese drugstore sunscreen line for daily use that features protection-enriched Water Capsule that enables the sunscreen to turn into water when applied on skin. It contains a blend of hyaluronic acid and “Mix Citrus Essence” to help skin retain its moisture and softness.

    Biore UV AQUA Rich Watery Essence (also known as Bioré Sara-sara UV AQUA Rich Watery Essence) is a water-based Japanese sunscreen that feels fresh and comfortable on the skin.

      just wondering how rakuten works? T_T used it for the first time to order this. looked at the shipping fees, was freaked out then realized they also had “small package” prices (instead of boxes) which were like $2-3 so I went ahead and ordered this. was very surprised when the shipping came out to more than the sunscreen! my entire order was like 2000 yen…

        I think I’m gonna post a mini tutorial on how to order from Rakuten as I’ve been getting a lot of emails about this. Rakuten is like eBay (without the bidding) except payment is not charged until you have Ok’ed the shipping charge (which the seller will email you separately and it’s charged according to weight of the overall package). If you don’t write down your shipping preference, most sellers will go with EMS as it is the safest and quickest (but of course, very expensive). For Airmail or SAL, write it down when you place your order (or in your reply when the seller emails you the shipping charge).
