What’s your take on the 2018 packaging? Do you happen to like it?
Does this contain oils? Thank you
Please look at the ingredients provided above. All the info is there already.
Any changes for 2017?
The 140g pump and the 125g refill has been very slightly repackaged, but that’s it.
Can you update a picture of the 2017 packaging, please? 🙂 I bought one on Ebay and it looks like this packaging on amazon (so I am a bit worried before going on vacation at the beach with bad sun protection/not authentic item) Thanks! : https://www.amazon.ca/Nivea-Super-Protect-Water-Japan/dp/B00SM997I2
That’s the right one, but this sunscreen is for everyday wear only. It isn’t suitable for a vacation at the beach whatsoever.
What’s the best water resistant/sweat resistant sunscreen?
Does this sunscreen offer enough protection for a morning walk? I’d use a more tenacious sunscreen like Sofina White Protect, but when I use a full 1/4tsp it leaves a powdery white cast on my skin that’s hard to layer makeup over to make it look decent for the rest of the day.
Yes, if your skin is not sun-sensitive and you won’t be in under prolonged direct morning sun as its UVA protection is solely from Uvinul A Plus (which only protects from long-wave UVA rays).
Do you have a recommendation for a sunscreen with better UVA protection? My skin is sun-senesitive as I’m very pale. Would Sofina be a better option?
What you’re using now (Sofina Perfect UV White Protect) would be more UVA protective due to the ZnO and TiO2, even though it has the same labeled UV protection.
If you want to step up your UVA protection, you can take a look at the PA++++ ones (link in right sidebar).
I really love this product. It is the first sunscreen I have been able to use on my face without breaking out. My fear is that it will be discontinued – it’s nearly impossible to get here in the US. Is there another, similar SS you can recommend that I might try so as to have two types I can use? Nothing worse than falling in love with a product and having it reformulated or discontinued. 🙂 Thanks!
If you fear refomulation or discontinuation, then Japanese sunscreens are honestly not for you as this WILL happen, sooner rather than later. Generally speaking, 2 to 3 years’ time from its release is the average before it is gone for good. Many major companies will reformulate yearly.
I find the daily use sunscreen gels by Kao all to be similar, especialy ones with the same UV actives.
