더 퍼펙트 프로텍터 [SPF50+/PA++++]

It's crucial to shake the bottle thoroughly before use. (There's a significant difference between shaken and unshaken product. This is an official recommendation from the brand.)

The only downside is that you'll have to be prepared for the hefty price tag. But considering its performance, it's worth every penny.

As expected, this sunscreen, along with Anessa from the same brand, truly deserves its title as the world's #1 Japanese sunscreen. Don't be fooled by other viral products - this is the one you should go for when it comes to sun protection. Its absorption and sun-blocking power are legendary. (In external tests, while Korean cosmetics scored 92% in sun protection, this one hit 99%!) What's even more impressive is that it leaves no white cast and doesn't feel greasy at all. It's almost too good to be true.

I think it might be a bit drying during the winter months.

It feels incredibly lightweight, leaving the skin feeling soft and refreshed.

Although it's not marketed as a brightening sunscreen, it seems to slightly even out the complexion.

While I don't have any major complaints, I wouldn't recommend this for those with dry skin. However, it's perfect for super oily skin types like mine.

As someone with oily skin, I've tried various products, but this one stands out for me. It's the best at controlling excess oil!

Consider reapplying every two hours, or cleansing and reapplying.

This product might not be suitable for those with dry skin. It seems better suited for oily or combination dehydrated skin types, and probably better for summer than winter use.

There's no eye irritation, skin tingling, or irritation. After some time, the initial powdery finish gives way to a subtle glow as oils come through. There's some white residue in the double eyelid crease and around the nose, but no pilling or emphasis on dead skin cells.

There's some clumping on the eyebrows, like a paste, which I wiped off. It has a powdery finish, which explains why it needs shaking. It's not a glowy product - more like you've applied powder.

Three hours after application, there's some oil breakthrough and glow, but also a feeling of deep dryness. I immediately want to spray on some mist and wash my face. It might be better to wash and reapply. While I don't expect hydration or color correction from a sunscreen, it feels different from when I first applied it.

As someone with combination dehydrated skin, I've struggled with extreme dryness around my mouth and nose area since my early 30s. I need to constantly apply lip balm to combat the dryness. I didn't wear makeup daily in my youth and started using sunscreen late, in my mid-20s. I prefer all-in-one skincare products. In my younger years, I only used Johnson's Baby Lotion. In my 30s, I tried using separate products, then switched back to just Madecassoside cream. When the deep dryness became severe, a friend suggested using toner, ampoule, essence, and cream. I've tried various products and settled on a few, while deciding against others.

I avoid AHC due to eye irritation. I've tried and currently use sunscreens from Dalba, Mediheal, LLO L, Hera, Innisfree, The SAEM, Dr.G, Joseon Beauty, Dongkook Madecassoside, Nivea, and others I can't recall.

This is my first time using Shiseido sunscreen. I'll skip the detailed explanation of its features like water, sweat, and heat resistance - that's all in the product description. Honestly, once I find a sunscreen that works for me, I don't delve too deeply into the technical aspects since most are quite similar and good.

Remember to shake before use! It reminds me of Hera sunscreen with its rattling beads inside.

The color is a light apricot, almost white. The scent is fresh and floral - typical of women's cosmetics. The texture is thin but slightly viscous, like an emulsion. It applies smoothly and spreads easily, covering a large area with a small amount. I applied it three times in similar amounts all over my face. It absorbs quickly without looking cakey or greasy. Instead, it leaves a dry, powdery finish.

There's a slight brightening effect, but not an overwhelming white cast. I like it - I could go out with just this and lip color!

No complaints. The reformulated product is even better, leaving my skin feeling comfortable

My holy grail sunscreen feels like I'm not wearing anything, and it brightens my complexion by half a shade

- When applied, it leaves a feeling of excess oil on the skin. It doesn't finish with a light or smooth feel, but rather feels a bit heavy and sticky, requiring powder or cushion foundation to set it.
- It's on the expensive side.
- Being a Japanese cosmetic product, I wouldn't go out of my way to use it.

This review is based on using a sample of the product.

Sun Protection:
The sun protection ability seems to be verified and excellent. After using it and engaging in outdoor activities, my skin didn't significantly redden or burn.

Application:
Rather than being a thick cream, it has a soft emulsion texture that applies smoothly. Although it's white, it doesn't provide a tone-up effect, and there was hardly any white cast.

Texture:
It doesn't absorb as quickly or feel as light on the skin as other sun serums or lightweight sunscreens, but it absorbs adequately. The scent is close to unscented with a subtle fragrance.

Ingredients:
I didn't find the ingredients particularly impressive. While using it, I didn't experience any blemishes or feel any irritation, but for those with super sensitive skin, I recommend checking the full ingredient list and definitely doing a patch test before purchasing.

There's nothing particularly bad about it! Well, maybe the price is a bit on the higher side?

Among the popular sunscreens at department stores, this Shiseido product definitely seems waterproof and absorbs well. It feels moisturizing when applied, but then sets to a matte finish, which is great.

Not sure if it's just the sample container, but despite its fluid consistency, it lacks a separate cap, making it tricky to control the amount dispensed. The product would be even better if the packaging were improved.

Feels incredibly lightweight, like water on your skin. Highly recommended for those with oily complexions.

There's nothing to complain about. It seems to provide even better UV protection

I tried this sunscreen for the first time and it exceeded my expectations

It seems a bit irritating, especially on days when my skin is super sensitive. It can feel a bit harsh then.

This sunscreen kept me protected even in Southeast Asia. It's an item I buy every summer.

It can cause irritation. For me, it especially stung my eyes so badly... I never want to use it again. Make sure to avoid the eye area when applying.
My skin also occasionally felt tingly and itchy.
Also, the texture is too runny for my liking.

Skin type: Combination dehydrated skin with severe deep dryness and sensitivity

I've heard this is famous for its blue jasmine, so I tried it for the first time.
First off, it absorbs well and has a refreshing, powdery finish that I really liked.
It feels perfect for combination or oily skin types to use in summer.
While the skin's surface feels slightly dry after a while, I didn't experience much deep dryness, so it was fine.
The lightweight texture seems to absorb quickly.
There's no white cast. Some people mention a brightening effect, but since I already have very fair skin, I didn't notice much of a change in my complexion.
Plus, it's definitely sweat and water-resistant.
