Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Essence 70g – Lightweight Sunscreen SPF50+ PA++++

Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Essence is a Japanese premium high-protection sunscreen for face and body, created for those who feel standard sunblocks are too greasy, white, or heavy. This global best-seller utilizes Biore’s "Micro Defense" technology to ensure no "micro-gaps" are left on the skin, providing a seamless veil of protection against UVA and UVB rays. While mass-market resellers often stock older formulas or overseas versions, Tokyo Shelf brings you the latest version renewal sourced freshly from Tokyo pharmacies, featuring the most advanced water-capsule technology available in Japan. This "watery essence" provides a transparent, breathable finish that keeps skin hydrated without clogging pores.

Perfect for:

• Daily sun protection under makeup or as a standalone moisturizer.

• Outdoor activities and sports where sweat and water resistance are essential.

• Reapplying throughout the day without the risk of pilling or "cakey" buildup.

• Users who hate the traditional "sunscreen smell" and heavy chemical feel.

Why it’s trending in Japan: A perennial #1 award winner on @cosme and a staple in every Tokyo handbag, Biore Aqua Rich changed the way the world thinks about SPF. It is currently viral for its "Water Capsule" technology—tiny capsules that burst upon contact with the skin to release moisture. It remains the top choice in Japan for its "invisible" finish that works perfectly across all skin tones, from fair to deep.

What you will notice after using:

• A refreshing, cooling sensation as the essence absorbs instantly into the skin.

• A completely clear finish with zero white cast, even on facial hair or dark skin.

• Skin feels "silky-smooth" (サラサラ) and prepped for effortless makeup application.

• No stinging around the eyes or heavy "mask" feeling during high humidity.

What makes it different: Unlike generic sunscreens that use large particles that leave gaps on the skin’s surface, Biore uses sub-micron capsules that fit into the skin's finest lines. The formula is enriched with Hyaluronic Acid, Royal Jelly Extract, and BG (Butylene Glycol), turning a protective step into a hydrating treatment. The unique "Watery Essence" texture is achieved through a specialized Japanese process that allows high UV filters to exist in a water-based, non-oily carrier.
