Teeny little bottle  - too expensive - nice product though
This sunscreen piqued my interest because its a Japanese mineral actives only formulation. It costs a lot for a small tube. It’s nice on the skin, not drying and has high protection.<br /><br />Japanese sunscreens are awesome for their PPD rating system (persistent pigment darkening) because its exactly what I need in a sunscreen. I am trying to avoid further damage while treating my current hyperpigmentation, melasma and dark spot/wrinkles issues. This rates PA++++ which allows 16 times or more time in the sun. UVA is what they rate for, rather than american sunscreens are concerned with UVB for sun burns.<br /><br />The formula is nice, nearly invisible cast which is unusual for a mineral sunscreen, and its not drying...is rather comfortable to wear.<br /><br />It’s too expensive for a bitty little tube. I want to slather sunscreens on thickly and profusely, multiple times a day. This product is not cost efficient for me. Coppertone’s mineral botanical formula feels very similar and it costs 1/4 less for a huge 6 oz bottle. They are so similar i cringe at how much I paid for this teeny tube.
