One of Japan's most iconic sunscreens, the Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Essence has earned a global cult following for feeling like nothing on the skin — sun protection you'll actually want to wear every day. Kao's Micro Defense technology uses UV-protective capsules to form an ultra-fine veil that spreads into microscopic gaps, delivering thorough broad-spectrum SPF50+/PA++++ coverage. Despite this, the texture is light and watery, absorbing instantly with no white cast, stickiness or greasy residue. Hyaluronic acid and royal jelly extract hydrate as you protect, while Aqua Micro Capsules release a burst of moisture on application. Water-resistant for up to 80 minutes and non-comedogenic, it works beautifully as a standalone SPF or a smooth, hydrating makeup base.
How to use: Apply evenly to face and neck after your usual skincare. Reapply regularly through the day, especially after sweating. Removes easily with your regular cleanser.
