FAQs about Biore

Where can I buy Japanese Biore sunscreen?

In Japan, Biore UV Aqua Rich is sold in almost every drugstore. Outside Japan, the Japan version is mostly sold online. SuzyKirei buys every Biore order in Japan, so the sunscreen you get is the Japanese formula with Japanese packaging. We ship to the US, Canada, Australia and the UK, with US duties prepaid at checkout.

Is Biore a Japanese brand?

Yes. Biore is made by Kao Corporation, a Japanese company founded in Tokyo in 1887, and the Biore brand launched in Japan in 1980. Kao also sells Biore in the US, but the US range is smaller and different from what you find in Japanese stores. Everything on this page is the Japan version, bought in Japan.

What does the Biore Hojicha hand soap smell like?

The Biore The Hand Foaming Hand Soap in Hojicha smells like roasted green tea, warm and toasty. It pumps out as a ready-made foam. The 280ml pump bottle can be topped up with the 370ml refill pouch, so you can keep one bottle and reorder only refills.

Is Japanese Biore sunscreen different from the US version?

It can be. Kao makes UV Aqua Rich for the Japanese market, with Japan's SPF and PA ratings on the label. Biore sunscreens sold in the US are made for US rules and can use different formulas. If you want the Japan formula, look for Japanese packaging, like the ones we ship.

How do I use the Ouchi de Esthe Deep Clay face wash?

Use it after removing makeup. Lather a small amount with water, massage it over your face, focusing on the nose and other oily areas, then rinse well. Kao says it is made to clean out pores. It pairs well with The Cleanse Oil as the second step at night.
