Rohto Mentholatum Skin Aqua Super Moisture Sunscreen Gel SPF50+ - 140 g

Rohto Skin Aqua Super Moisture UV Gel is a Japanese SPF50+ PA++++ sunscreen gel for face and body, built around three types of hyaluronic acid. It spreads like water, leaves no sticky residue, and doubles as a makeup base. Filters block both UVA and UVB, and the formula is highly water-resistant yet washes off with regular soap.

About the product

Skin Aqua is the Japanese sun protection line from Rohto. The Super Moisture UV Gel pairs high SPF50+ PA++++ protection with hydration - every application leaves the skin with ingredients that help guard against dryness.

Protection comes from a set of filters sealed in light-resistant capsule NEO technology (bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine and silica), blocking a broad spectrum of UVA and UVB radiation. The texture is light and watery, so it spreads easily over the whole body. The formula contains no fragrance, no dyes, and no mineral oil, and the manufacturer states it has been allergy-tested.

The gel is highly water-resistant, yet it washes off with regular soap. Washing also removes pollen, PM2.5 particles, and dust that settle on skin during the day.

Ingredients you'll love

• Sodium Hyaluronate - holds moisture on the skin's surface
• Hydrolyzed Sodium Hyaluronate (ultra-low molecular weight hyaluronic acid) - hydrates deeper, in the skin's outer layer
• Hydroxypropyltrimonium Hyaluronate - clings to skin and helps hold water in place
• Sodium Acetylated Hyaluronate - another hydrating form in the formula
• Hydrolyzed Collagen - a moisturizing ingredient rounding out the mix

Intended use

For anyone who wants strong daily sun protection without a heavy, sticky cream. The gel works on the face and body, suits the beach, the mountains, and sport, and the manufacturer also recommends it as a makeup base.

How to use

1. Apply an even amount over the skin, building up in a few thin layers to avoid missed spots.
2. Do not skimp on the product - too thin a layer will not give the stated protection.
3. Reapply during the day, especially after sweating or towel-drying.
4. Remove the gel with a cleanser at the end of the day.

Precautions

Too little product will not give the stated sun protection - apply generously and reapply as needed. The manufacturer states allergy testing, which does not mean an allergic reaction cannot occur in any individual.
