What it is
This SPF50/ colorless sunscreen lotion is perfect for daily use on sensitive skin. Long UVA rays are known to cause deep skin damage and contribute to signs of aging, such as dark spots, wrinkles, and sagging. This updated sunscreen (makeup base) incorporates new technology to effectively block long UVA rays, which account for approximately 75% of UV rays reaching the earth's surface. It's also suitable for sensitive skin*. Formulated with La Roche-Posay Thermal Water (skin conditioning ingredient), it supports the barrier function of the stratum corneum, providing a softer, more moisturizing feel. *This product may not be completely immune to skin problems. It can be removed with face wash. This colorless sunscreen is also highly recommended as a makeup base.

How to use
Take an appropriate amount in your hand and spread it evenly and neatly on your skin in small amounts. If you use too little, the UV protection effect will be less pronounced, so to use the product effectively, spread a sufficient amount evenly and reapply frequently, such as after sweating or wiping your skin with a towel.

We're working on rolling out prepaid duties for more countries soon.
I always end up coming back to this one. It's gentle on the skin and naturally tones up the skin, which is great. It's also very moisturizing but not sticky, which is great. I've tried other top-ranked products and kept coming back, so this is my fourth one.
It's not sticky.
I bought it because I heard it's less likely to cause acne. I like how it's natural and doesn't require any color correction, or even makes my skin look slightly cleaner.
I've only ever used the tone-up product, but it feels more like a lotion. I'm not looking for coverage in this product, so it's fine.
I love this product because it doesn't have any unpleasant sunscreen texture! I went to Ishigaki Island with it and didn't get sunburned at all!
