I noticed thereโs a two pack of this sunscreen that is directly sold and shipped by amazon.co.jp. Do you think this is genuine?
There is no reason why it wouldnโt be genuine, especially given the brand and its price point.
Hi! Can u tell me about the details of Sunplay Skin Aqua Watery Essence SPF 50+ PA++++?? Thank u!
That product isnโt Japanese โ itโs made in China by a different company. It isnโt produced by Rohto Pharmaceutical in Japan.
Is there a new version this year 2021? I just finished my tube and wanted to repurchase but literally they were out of stock on every sites I checked. Anyone knows about the new version info yet? I hope they release the new version as soon as possible.
There isnโt one.
You mean there will be no new version this year or you mean they have not released any info yet?
No reformulation. There would have been a press release for the upcoming formula already if there was one. Those sites you were looking at most likely are having difficultly getting more stock due to Japanโs international shipping restrictions from COVID. Itโs widely available in stores and online in Japan.
Thank you for the information
Is this oil free?
Please check the full ingredient list already provided above for any ingredients you want to avoid.
Hi Ratzilla, I am also specifically looking at this sunscreen as a replacement for Skin Aqua Sarafit. However, I see that it has some silicone in the ingredients (though it seems far down the list) and am worried about having a repeat of what I experienced with what seemed to be the last version of Sarafit (couldnโt find it on your website and enjoyed the Sarafit seen on your site that came in the shorter, wider tube, but in late 2019, when ordering off eBay, I was getting a Sarafit Essence with a slightly taller, slimmer tube). That last Sarafit seemed very different and silicone-y and would pill, which was nothing like the Sarafit that I had really liked. Would you happen to know about feel/wear of this product? Thank you!
I personally found it sticky and shiny so itโs not something Iโd ever buy for my face or body. Those who are less picky, have a different skin type, and/or live in a different climate might like it though. It seems lots of non-Japan-based influencers and reviewers talk favourably about it.
SaraFit has already been discontinued in Japan by late 2019. You definitely bought the wrong product if the tube itself had a different shape. Most Rohto products sold outside of Japan are developed and manufactured by subsidiary companies in China, Vietnam, etc. They have similar (but not identical) packagings, names, and concepts because theyโre licensed by Rohto. They arenโt the same products as Japanโs. From your description of the tube, it sounds like you bought the Chinese SaraFit.
Hi, which sunscreen would you recommend for very oily and acne prone skin? (Fragrance free, Very lightweight, non stichy)
Please answer ratzilla
Is it fragrance free..? Cherry blossom and bilberry leaf extract..?
Yes. These arenโt fragrant extracts.
Ohhhโฆ I seeโฆ Because someone told me the new version has fragranceโฆ
That isnโt true.
Why is there no expiration date indicated on the packaging?
Japanese beauty products (including sunscreens) almost never have production/expiration date printed. Theyโre unnecessary since most products get revamped on a near-annual basis. Rule of thumb for sunscreens is 3 years for unopened product. Once itโs opened, itโs good for a year max.
Is this sunscreen only for incidental exposure? like staying home infront of a window?
Yes, itโs for brief incidental sun exposures that occur during normal daily activities.
Hey! ๐
Do you know the percentage of the filters in this product? =)
This information isnโt disclosed by the company.
Okey thank you. Is there maybe a site where the max allowed percentage of ingridients in japan are listed? for example the concentration of isononyl isononanonate? ๐
Looks like you missed Tinosorb S, itโs also there
Yes, thank you!
This seems to have Tinosorb S too.
Omg, Tinosorb M! Thatโs so rare. The most powerful UVA absorber of them all <3 Can leave a bit of a white cast tho
Misse?
Musse?
Dear Ratzilla, could you describe the finish of this 2020 version โ does it leave a white cast since it contains Tinosorb M? Also, can one identify the different versions of this sunscreen by the front package (if I try to buy it online, I just do not know which one they are sellingโฆ)? Thank you for all the effort you put into your posts!
I havenโt tried it. Yes, the packaging is changed for each renewal. It should look completely identical to whatโs shown on my site. All the other versions are old and discontinued.
Although they are discontinued, you can only find old versions on Amazon or Ebay (according to the packaging photos). I have found the 2019 version on shopee.ph and lazada.sg, however I do not want to buy japanese sunscreens outside Japan! It is like trying to buy real unicorn ๐
Yes, the 2020 reformulation isnโt launched in Japan yet.
Hi, I have trying this out for the past couple of days. This leaves no white cast! The texture is thicker than I was expecting, considering the description says water-like serum texture. It is more of a regular gel feel.
