3 Best Japanese Sunscreens for Sensitive Skin

This week, I watched this YouTube video about best Japanese sunscreen products recommended by Sumisho who is a Japanese YouTuber and used to work for a Japanese cosmetic company as a cosmetic scientist in Japan. He recommends sunscreen products for people who have very sensitive skins including small kids. If you understand Japanese, you should check out his YouTube channel. He talks about many Japanese products from a professional point of view. Today, I'm going to share with you three best Japanese sunscreens the Japanese cosmetic scientist recommended in his video.

1. Curel UV Protection Face Milk SPF30 PA++ (キュレル UVミルク SPF30 PA++)

Sunscreen
SPF30 PA++
30ml for 1,500 yen
Can be purchased at many drugstores in Japan

Curel UV Protection Face Milk SPF30 PA++

In Japan, Curel is a skin care brand of Kao, one of the largest cosmetic companies in Japan. Japanese Curel products are made for people who have sensitive dry skins.

This Curel UV Protection Face Milk does not make your face look pale, so it's also perfect for men and kids. In addition, this is a sweat and water resistant sunscreen, so you might want to use makeup remover to remove sunscreen completely.

By the way, I wrote about a popular Japanese Curel product, Curel Intensive Moisture Cream, in my previous entry, 7 Best Japanese Beauty Products Hall of Fame.

2. Nivea Sun Protect Water Milk Mild SPF 50+ PA+++ (ニベアサンプロテクトウォーターミルクマイルドSPF50+ PA+++)
Sunscreen
SPF50+ PA+++
30ml for 580 yen
Can be purchased at many drugstores in Japan

Nivea Sun Protect Water Milk Mild SPF 50+ PA+++

If you are looking for the most affordable sunscreen with high SPF, you should try Nivea Sun Protect Water Milk Mild SPF 50+ PA+++. This is also a sweat and water resistant sunscreen, so you might want to use makeup remover to remove this sunscreen completely. This sunscreen slightly leaves a white cast on your skin, so it's good to use as a makeup primer, but if you don't wear makeup, you might want to skip this sunscreen.

Before applying this sunscreen, shake it well to make sure the protective ingredients are mixed in thoroughly.

By the way, as I mentioned in my previous entry, 16 Best Japanese Beauty Products I Purchased in Japan - Drugstore, Discount Store, Daiso and Amazon Japan, I purchased Nivea Sun Water Gel For Kids SPF28 PA++ and Nivea Sun Water Gel SPF35 PA+++ in Japan. I really liked both of them because they are gentle to your skin, the texture is very light and no white cast. In addition, they are easy to remove. 😉

3. Orbis UV CUT Sunscreen Freence SPF30 PA+++ (オルビスサンスクリーンフリーエンス SPF30 PA+++)
Sunscreen
SPF30 PA+++
50ml for 1,200 yen
Can be purchased at ORBIS The Shop and some department stores in Japan. (Some Aeon supermarkets and PARCO also have ORBIS The Shop.)
