Shiseido sunscreens for face
The face sunscreen is one of the most important skincare steps in the morning, and finding the right one is crucial for a skincare routine. With these formulas, you’ll find different textures and sun protection factors that should answer your sunscreen needs.
Shiseido Expert Sun Protector Cream SPF50+
Skincare & very high protection
Shield your skin with expert protection in a pleasant texture. This high-performance sunscreen feels lightweight on the skin while granting immediate comfort, leaving a non-sticky finish. Known for innovating and delivering the ultimate technology in each formula, Shiseido repeats the feat with this one. More than effective filters, the formula includes SuperVeil-UV 360™ technology, responsible for creating a uniform layer of sun protection, which, as we know, is essential to create an effective sun shield. Equally important, SynchroShieldRepair™—combining WetForce, HeatForce, and AutoRepair technologies—adapts to your environment to deliver dynamic protection. At the same time, Profense CEL™ prevents signs of aging from sun exposure, and NatureSurge Complex shields your skin from pollution aggressions.
Shiseido Urban Environment Age Defense Oil-Free Face Suncare SPF30
Pollution protection
Suitable for all skin types that are looking for an oil-free urban sunscreen, this is formula grants sun and pollution protection with a shine-free texture. Just like the previous formula, this one contains Sun Dual Care™ Technology to make sure the formula lies evenly on the skin. In addition, Sun Dual Care™ Technology—through Spirulina Energy Essence—allows the formula to convert an amount of sunlight into energy to fight against aging factors. Thanks to a hybrid anti-pollution powder, the formula grants protection against pollution and strengthens the skin barrier. Last but not least, the packaging is made with 90% plant-derived bio-polythene and perfectly fits the routine of those who search for eco-friendly beauty solutions.
Shiseido Expert Sun Protector Cream SPF30
Skincare & high protection
Comparable to the first sunscreen we’ve analyzed, this formula grants comfort and protection, this time with a SPF30. It counts on the same effective filters as well as the SuperVeil-UV 360™ technology, creating an even shield on the skin surface to maximize protection. In this formula, you’ll also find SynchroShieldRepair™, featuring WetForce, HeatForce, and AutoRepair technologies to adapt the protection to the needs of your skin in any given environment. In addition, Profense CEL™ prevents signs of aging from sun exposure while NatureSurge Complex creates an effective shield to minimize the impact of pollution on your skin. Equally waterproof and resistant, this is the go-to for those looking for a lower sun protection factor.
Shiseido tinted sunscreens
If you value coverage as much as you value sun protection, these are for you. Shiseido tinted sunscreens blend protection and pigments in the same formula, so you don’t have to choose.
Shiseido Sports BB Cream SPF50+ Sunscreen
Very high protection & medium coverage
If you fancy sports as much as you do a good complexion, then it’s time for you to get acquainted with this formula. Quick dry and sweat-resistant, this tinted sunscreen offers all the features you can look for in outdoor activities. It combines the same SuperVeil UV360 technology—that we’ve seen in the previous formulas for face—with exclusive ProfenseCL complex that helps to minimize the appearance of wrinkles and dark spots. Exercise outside means necessarily sun exposure, but you can definitely minimize the sun’s impact on your skin by using a complete formula that effectively shields the skin while making it look its best.
Shiseido Sports HydroBB Compact SPF50+
Compact BB foundation & high protection
Now it’s time to look at this very unique formula: a compact sunscreen/BB cream! More than the SuperVeil UV360 technology and ProfenseCL complex, which make sure the formula sits evenly on your skin and prevents photoaging signs, this compact foundation with SPF50+ blends the exclusive Cooling Essence for a fresh sensation upon application and throughout the day. Quick Dry Technology is responsible for making the formula immune to sweat and humidity, granting not only effective protection and a beautifying result, even after heavy perspiration. And one of the best features comes from the presentation: you can carry it with you to touch up whenever you need.
Shiseido Tanning Compact Foundation SPF10
Natural golden tan
Here’s where makeup meets sun care: this foundation grants natural coverage while shielding your skin with SPF10. More than minimizing the impact of sun radiation, it protects the skin from other external aggressions, such as microparticles. Water and oil-resistant, this product adds a bronzed look to your complexion that stays put throughout the day—yet, the formula is ideal for touch-ups, which may be needed for SPF reapplication. On a more scientific approach to the formula, we highlight the Hydro-Restoring FX complex, which resorts to bio-hyaluronic acid to provide your skin with long-lasting hydration and a soft finish.
Shiseido sunscreens for body
Sunscreen formulas for the body need to be pleasant to apply, non-sticky, and very resistant. Shiseido ticks all these boxes and more:
Shiseido Expert Sun Protector Lotion SPF50+
Very water resistant & very high protection
Granting a very high sun protection along with a pleasant texture and anti-aging benefits, this formula takes good care of your skin during your summer vacation. Suitable for both face and body, this lightweight texture comes in three different sizes—so you can go for a travel size or family size, according to your vacation needs. With the power blend of SuperVeil-UV 360™ and SynchroShieldRepair™, this sunscreen gets all the technology needed to create a lasting, strong shield on the skin surface that’s water, heat, and friction resistant. This is the high-performing sun care you need by your side at all times!
Shiseido Expert Sun Protector Clear Stick SPF50+
On-the-go sunscreen protection
Even with competent sunscreen formulas, we need to reapply at least every two hours to make sure we get as much protection as our skin needs. Stick sunscreens are an obvious solution for mess-free sunscreen reapplication. This high-performance stick leaves no greasy residue and works beautifully for face and body. It even goes over makeup! It’s ideal to take with you on the go, either to apply on sensitive areas or to strengthen the sun shield on more exposed areas, like the face and hands. Featuring the technologies we’ve just seen in other formulas, like SuperVeil-UV 360™, SynchroShield™, Profense CL™, and NatureSurge Complex, it grants all the efficiency in a compact format.
Shiseido Expert Sun Protector Lotion SPF30
Very water resistant high protection
For all of those who’d rather go for an SPF30, we listen and we don’t judge—and so does Shiseido. Containing all the same technology delivered by the SPF50+ formula, this sunscreen grants long-lasting protection against sun radiation, with water-resistance and stability even when exposed to water, heat, and friction. Comfortable and hydrating, it cares for your skin while protecting, also granting an anti-aging action. As for the texture, it melts seamlessly into the skin for a pleasant application experience. Get it in one of the two sizes available to meet your body sunscreen needs!
Shiseido post-sun solutions
Shiseido After-Sun Intensive Recovery Emulsion
Repairing & fragrant after-sun
Even when taking good care of it, your skin resents sun exposure. After a day at the beach or by the pool, nothing like replenishing the skin with repairing care. This super nourishing emulsion restores your skin with all the hydration and lipids it needs, revitalizing your skin and working to extend the longevity of your tan. It feels fresh and smells like vacation, so you get all the repairing coupled with all the skincare fun. Regardless of the sunscreen you choose, this is the after-sun you need!
