Skin Aqua Super Moisture Milk (SPF50 PA ++++) 40mL

Product Information

Stainless steel ball in container helps to blend product inside; space left at the top of container also allows the mixture to blend well. Aaaaaaand here it is where it gets complicated. Rohto (or Rohto Mentholatum) manufactures the whole line-up of Skin Aqua sunscreens. In some countries in the South-East Asia region though the sunscreens will be under the Sunplay brand’s umbrella (the name will then be something like Sunplay Skin Aqua), while in other regions, Skin Aqua will be the brand. No biggie, you’ll think: different names, different brands, who cares? As for the disadvantages, Zinc Oxide is also not cosmetically elegant. It leaves a disturbing whitish tint on the skin , although , according to a 2000research paper by Dr. Pinnell, it's slightlyless white than TiO2. Still, it's white and disturbing enough to use Zinc Oxide nanoparticles more and more often. For the same reasons they are popularly used, they are also commonly avoided. Anecdotally, many individuals have reported that Silicones cause/excerbate breakouts, irritation, cause a feeling of skin being unable to breathe, cause clumping of cosmetic products and find it difficult to wash off. As a result, those who find them problematic are avoiding them and increasingly, cosmetic companies are avoiding them as well.

Pityrosporum Folliculitis/Malassezia folliculitis or simply known as Fungal Acne is a persistent acne-like condition that commonly responds poorly to traditional acne-treating methods. Unlike most cases of Acne where bacteria is the culprit, Fungi is the culprit of Fungal Acne (Hence the name!). There are certain classes & groups of ingredients that have been shown to promote and feed the growth of the Fungal Acne, Fungi such as fatty acids, oils, esters, polysorbates and fermented ingredients. Because I really like to look like an idiot on the internet. There isn’t an “after” pic because it’s completely undetectable after 20mins. The Silicone-free label only includes the most common Silicone ingredients that have indentified been reported by individuals that could potentially cause issues.

Waterproof and sweat-resistant formula makes it perfect for use for outdoor sports and leisure activities.

So, here’s the thing: I love how Skin Aqua’s Super Moisture Milk feels on my skin. The finish is definitely the nicest I’ve encountered this year. I haven’t tested it in Summer conditions, though, so I can’t really say how good the waterproof claim is, and also haven’t worn it under prolonged sun exposure. It'salso highly stableand non-irritating. So much sothat Zinc Oxide also counts as a skin protectant and anti-irritant. It's also often used to treat skin irritationssuch as diaper rash. They help loosen up the dirt and grime from your skin and hair to allow for water to wash it away with ease.If you've ever used a skincare, makeup or beauty product that's made your skin look and feel smoother tempoarily - it's likely contained Silicone. They are a popular class of ingredients found in cosmetics due to their smooth, soft, easy-to-spread and smooth properties that help creates an artificial layer/barrier on top of skin or hair (commonly found in conditioners). However some sulfates are so good at their job, they can wash off your skin’s own natural oils that keep it moisturised and protected which can lead to dryness and irritation. There has been some healthy controversy surrounding them due to a few studies finding paraben presence in breast tumours and breast tissue. However, the majority of the scientific community have deemed these findings non-conclusive due to the limitations of these studies.

I’m happy to report, though, that it’ll sink in completely after about 20mins. Then it’ll have the most wonderful, silky, skin-like finish I’ve encountered this year. Keep in mind, though, that the finish depends on what skincare products you use underneath it. If I apply a moisturizer over my serum, the Skin Aqua don’t vanish as tracelessly as before. As a result, please note this is only an experimental label that can be best used to possible identify problematic products you have used in the past. It is in no way a perfect identifier nor a predictor in whether or not it will exacerbate or cause fungal acne. It will continue to be worked on as more information and research comes to light. Parabens are a large group of preservatives which are used to prevent bacteria growing in cosmetic formulations.

It protects against UVB, UVA II, and UVA I almost uniformly, and is considered to be the broadestrange sunscreen available today. Additionally, products that may contain ingredients that have shown to feed Malassezia may not neccessarily exacerbate the condition due to concentration of ingredient used in the product, this information is simply not available on the products. Contains fine pink-colored particles (composed of mica, talc, titanium oxide and tin oxide) to enhance skin's radiance for a natural-looking glow. Take an appropriate amount on the palm of hand and apply evenly on skin; feel free to apply another layer to ensure skin is sufficiently coated in sunscreen.
