Japan seems to make cosmetics really well.

Not sold in Korea. It's inconvenient to buy it through direct import and the shipping cost is a waste.

I don't like whitening, stickiness, or greasiness, but if you want to use sunscreen, you can just buy and use this. It's definitely preservative-free.

선 프로텍트 워터 젤 [SPF35/PA+++]

There's not really any downside that I can think of!
It would be nice if the volume was a bit larger.

It has a non-sticky texture and seems good for oily skin.
The fragrance is almost odorless and light, which I like.

I've been using it for years
I'm not sure if other sunscreens are as essential as this one, but
this Nivea friend is truly a lifelong companion, you could say..
I love it so much
It doesn't have that greasy sunscreen smell
There's no stickiness or acne breakouts
It doesn't make my makeup smear either 
You really have to try it to know how great it is.

This is an excellent product for the body! It's lightweight and easy to apply before going out.

It might be better suited for the body rather than the face. I wouldn't recommend it for those who find gel-type products a bit uncomfortable on the face, as it can feel a bit drying when applied there.

It's a gel-type product, so it has a runny feel, but it spreads really well, especially when applied to the body! The scent is almost odorless, with just a hint of the typical sunscreen smell. There's no white cast either, and it feels moisturizing when applied, but dries down to a nice, powdery finish. It seems like a great daily-use product.

Since it's a gel type, you have to apply it thickly, and when you rub it with your fingers, it feels a bit like a peeling gel.

It has a non-sticky and more watery feel than a lotion.
There is no whitening effect, and it feels soft~
There are both 50 and 35, and while they are similar, 35 seems more refreshing and clean.

It has a high alcohol content, so it can be irritating.
There is a stinging sensation... Absolutely not recommended for those sensitive to alcohol.

The liquid formulation has good spreadability and the case looks neat and pretty.

Nope, not for me!
But my friend who I went to Japan with tried this and it broke them out, so they gave it to me. What a steal!

This sunscreen is a must-have for me!
I bought it during my trip to Japan and stocked up on it because it's just so good.
It's like a lotion, not sticky or heavy at all, so it feels like I'm just doing my basic skincare routine. In the summer, I have to apply it all over my body, but sunscreen can make me feel even more sticky and sweaty. But this one doesn't make me feel sticky at all - it's like just putting on body lotion! It's amazing!
I usually have issues with mineral sunscreens clogging my pores and causing breakouts, no matter how good the ingredients are. But this one doesn't cause any problems for my skin.
Even though mineral sunscreens are great, they have to work well with your skin type. I just wanted to find one that's a perfect match for me.
And apparently, even guys like this one because it doesn't feel sticky at all.
This is the only sunscreen I'll be using from now on.

Hmm, even if the scent isn't great or it's completely unscented, 
I'd still rather it be better... 
Aaah, it has a slight mosquito repellent? smell to it ㅋㅋㅋ
Other than that, it's fine!!

By the way, I bought it in Japan!!!! 
The part that says 'super' may be different.

This sun gel is a good fit for my dry skin!
Personally, I like the dewy finish better than sunscreen, 
so I prefer using this product before makeup.

Since I only use skin care like toner, lotion or cream, 
I prefer moisturizing sun protection products as a person
who likes a more hydrating finish. Haha

It's perfect for dads or boyfriends who don't like slathering on thick products and find it bothersome.
Oh, and it has an SPF of 50++.
Personally, I think the SPF 35 is fine too, and for some reason, it feels even more comfortable on my skin, so I just go for the SPF 35 version.

Not really... The only downside is that the prices vary at different drugstores in Japan, so I had to go around to various places to find the cheapest one. The accessibility of getting the same product in Korea is a bit limited.

When I first traveled to Japan, I bought this sunscreen and used it. From then on, I would bring two or three of them every time I went to Japan, and now even my mom only looks for this sunscreen. Whenever I ask what I should bring back from Japan, she mentions this first.
Even after trying various sunscreens at Korean drugstores (the ones from Soonkang and Innisfree were somewhat similar in feel), I haven't found a gel that applies as refreshingly as this one. I've never had any breakouts, and while the ingredients aren't the most natural, I've been using it for years without any issues. The price is also incredibly affordable in Japan...
Now that it's available for purchase in Korea as well, if you're looking for a lightweight, gel-like sunscreen that glides on smoothly without any heaviness, this is the one to get. The Biore sunscreen gel also has a similar feel to it.
