27 Comments on Guide to the New Japanese Sunscreen Releases of 2021

  1. I just wanna say thank you for the updates. Been always checking ratzillacosme since i was a teenager 🙂

  2. Do you think you could add a “Include Discontinued” on/off toggle the search bar? That would help a lot when filtering through products.

  3. What I want to know is what on this list is least likely to break me out. I’m just so clog-prone and so many sunscreens break me out to the point where I’m afraid to ever go outside… I can’t really wear anything heavy and have dry dehydrated sensitive skin.

    • Check the ingredient list of previous sunscreens you have used against inci or cosdna websites to see what could be the culprit compared to products you have used that have not caused a reaction.

    • The finish is rarely a factor that is advertised for Japanese products that are strictly a sunscreen. It’s incredibly subjective for sunscreens since it highly depends on how much you’ve applied, your skin type, and the climate you’re in. A sunscreen that someone with dry skin finds to be matte, for example, will not necessarily be the case when used on oily skin.

  4. Should we expect the range of Allie sunscreens to be updated in 2021? I thought most of them were reformulated yearly.

    • No, sunscreen releases are completely done in Japan and Allie launched everything back in February. The only sunscreens that haven’t been released are the limited edition ones with cooling effects for the summer.

    • It’s formulated so that the sebum skin produces will not remove or displace the protective sunscreen film — very important for those with oily skin.
