System Verdict
Decent lightweight Japanese sunscreen dragged down by high ethanol content that compromises safety and long-term hydration. Efficacy score of 4.5 reflects strong modern chemical filters (Tinosorb S, Uvinul A Plus, Uvinul T 150) at effective concentrations for SPF50+/PA++++ with photostability synergy, plus multi-HA for moisture, but deducts for ethanol drying the formula and potential filter destabilization; no encapsulation or pH optimization issues noted as gel base is appropriate.
