What the gurus are saying

Dr. Jenny Liu and Dr Dray rate it highly; No BS Beauty is mixed. No BS Beauty: "Soaks into it and sets to a natural finish that's almost matte. Um, which is nice if you have oilier skin, but very nice sunscreen. Not crazy about the jar packaging."

"If you hate the feeling of US sunscreens because they're heavy, and want something that offers great protection, is more oily and acne-prone friendly, and simplifies your routine all in one, the Hada Labo UV White gel SPF 50 PA++++ is your girl. It's a gel cream, lightweight, and for me with more mature skin this would be like a summer moisturizer and sunscreen in one, but for someone more oily or acne-prone this could be an all-year-round product. It is so lightweight, hydrates without heaviness, has no fragrance and minimal additives so it won't irritate, absorbs really quickly, and leaves no white cast, with wonderful filter technology from Japan giving broad spectrum UVA and UVB coverage. [...] It truly simplifies your routine, combining six different functions in one, like a lotion, plus a serum, plus a moisturizer, and sunscreen, and [...] it can also be a base for makeup like a primer. It also has a little bit of vitamin C that helps defend against environmental oxidation as well as brighten and improve uneven tone. This is just a lovely product, my go-to in the morning."

"This is one that I've had as a favorite for many years now, it's the Hada Labo UV White Gel. I've been getting this in a jar the past couple of times, but it used to be one that I would get in a tube, and I prefer the tube to this jar packaging, but the formula I love, love, love. This is technically a hybrid sunscreen, it has some really good UV filters, and it does have titanium dioxide in it as well, which can give a bit of a white cast, but in my experience using this it's completely cast free, however if you have a really deep skin tone there's a chance it may show up on your skin. It's not water resistant, so this is one of those day to day everyday moisturizers, there's no tint to it, but the formula gives a nice deep hydration, it has hyaluronic acid in it. You really get a nice healthy moisturized glow to the skin with this, it's not greasy, it's not shiny, I don't get any burning around my eyelids when I wear it, it's really a comfortable wear and spreads on the skin surface really nicely. There's no niacinamide in that, so if you're sensitive to niacinamide you're good to go there. I don't get any peeling with that sunscreen, it's also a really great makeup base. It does have a low molecular weight alcohol in it which makes it a faster absorbing formula, but it's not the least bit drying, the formula overall is very hydrating. It's a really great sunscreen if you live somewhere very hot, it's very fast absorbing and it allows for good evaporation of sweat so you don't feel overheated. I do prefer it in the tube to this jar, I just find the jar a little unwieldy to scoop the product out of."

MY TOP PRODUCTS FOR A HEALTHY SKIN BARRIER 👍 @DrDrayzday
"One of my favorites is the Hada Labo UV White Gel, a great moisturizer with sunscreen you can use on a daily basis. It doesn't leave a cast on my skin, but it does have titanium dioxide in it so it may leave a bit of a cast if you have a deeper skin tone. It's non-greasy, it's not shiny, and I love it. It's SPF 50 and it doesn't feel like you're wearing sunscreen, it's a great moisturizer too, with dimethicone, sodium hyaluronate, and hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid to help attract water into the skin. It's not water resistant, so if you're going to be sweating or swimming I would not rely on this, but as an everyday moisturizer with a high quality SPF it's a go-to for me."
