Reddit take

Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • I can recommend Skin Aqua and Anessa, you can also try Biore UV, but it's a bit greasy on my skin (these are Japanese products).
  • Sunscreen (right now it's a Japanese Nivea gel but I also like Skin Aqua, Biore, and Anessa)
  • Moisturizer and sunscreen (I reco Biore or Anessa should be anywhere in Japan) is a must and maybe a vitamin c serum for glowing skin.
  • oh man i wish i could buy Anessa & BoJ sunscreen in jugs, i would have freaking barrels in my basement!
  • I have combo skin as well and never broke out with Anessa, I always double cleanse though

Cons

  • So I usually skip either serum or hydration (I have Anessa)
  • Anessa was somehow greasy and drying at the same time
  • I bought 2 of the Anessa sunscreens while in Japan (the one pictured and the pink bottle for sensitive skin), and I did not like either☹️ since you want something not sticky you may like it, it has a powdery finish that I personally didn...
  • Anessa has a noticeable fragrance that bothers me
  • I do think Japanese sunscreens have a bit more variety with Anessa, but even then they are somewhat week too. I just don't see the same level of UVA protection from Asian sunscreens as we see in European.

There are Japanese sunscreens that are much more durable and can handle water (like Anessa). Hybrids as well.

Anessa is so good I actually look forward to using it. If I'm rushing and need to shorten my routine, I don't skip it.
