What the gurus are saying

The lightweight, fast-absorbing texture earns consistent praise from dermatologists and skincare experts, who value how it spreads efficiently without feeling heavy on skin or body. The alcohol content, rather than being a drawback, actually helps with sweat evaporation in humid conditions and makes reapplication comfortable. Those in hot, sweaty climates or anyone who dislikes the feel of traditional sunscreen on their skin may find this formula particularly appealing.

"I'm currently using the Skin Aqua. It's really good and it's very lightweight. It does have alcohol in it, which terrifies a lot of people. But alcohol in a sunscreen is really a good ingredient, especially if you're talking about one for sweat and humidity because it just allows for good evaporation of sweat so you don't get overheated. Plus, it's a lot more comfortable to reapply. [...] It's real lightweight, spreads on the skin very efficiently. I love it. It's like my third bottle of that already. Highly highly recommend."

Trying Dr. Dana Nail Care | Skincare Vlog
"Skin Aqua is a sunscreen formula that has gone through many iterations over the years but it's always a good one. I like this newer version of it, [...] it's really light. Japanese sunscreens they're amazing."

"There's also the one that I use typically around here at home that has a pump, Skin Aqua, maybe that one's Japanese, which is a very similar formula. I really like it, but whenever I buy it it comes with a pump so I can't travel with it."

"Every time someone has said do you have any sunscreen and I hand them something like the Skin Aqua, without fail people go this is a really nice sunscreen. Skin Aqua is probably the best price, a better price per ounce without compromise to the quality, it's just that I prefer the finish on the Kose Suncut."

I Tried a J-Beauty Skincare Routine: My Results/Ranking!
"I decided J Beauty makes the best options for body sunscreen, so that's why I picked this one up. It's water resistant for up to 80 minutes, and this is going to be such an affordable body sunscreen option for me. This works, but I did run into some issues when I tried to wear this every day, my skin did start to feel a little dry, maybe because of the denatured alcohol in the product. I can use my K Beauty sunscreens on a day to day basis since they're a better fit for my drier skin, but if you are looking for more matte, water resistant, or body sunscreens, this is such a good option."
