Best-selling UV Products We Can’t Live Without
Calling all who haven’t found the perfect sunscreen! We’re introducing our best-selling 9 sunscreens for different destinations that you’re sure to enjoy until the very last drop. We’ve also included some useful tips for protecting yourself from the sun. Let’s go!
01
Destination - Okinawa, Japan
Known as the “Hawaii of Asia” for its emerald coral islands and exotic palm trees, Okinawa offers both a wide range of activities for tourists to enjoy and great places to relax in a tropical paradise. This beautiful travel destination starts really warming up in June, when average temperatures rise above 30 degrees celsius. Here, we introduce three summer skincare products that will protect your skin from the island’s humid winds.
Effective even at the beach: Waterproof UV Protection
-
Super Soin Solaire Visage SPF 50+
US$150
Offering four types of cutting-edge UVA and UVB filters to protect the skin from the sun while its camellia and mango extracts provide a steady supply of moisture, this product is one of the most renowned waterproof sunscreens on the market. Because sunscreen is a functional cosmetic that is absorbed into the skin’s uppermost layer, it is best to apply it by spreading and massaging it with your fingers rather than patting it down.
-
Allie Sunscreen
US$25
This is a great waterproof sunscreen that effectively prevents your skin from darkening or becoming blotched with the passing of time. Its use of softening powder prevents smearing upon contact with water while its oil control powder keeps sweat at bay. The milky texture of this sunscreen makes it very easy to apply and nicely complements its relatively high level of protection (SPF 50+/PA+++).

Prevage City Smart Broad Spectrum SPF 50 Hydrating Shield
US$65
The DNA enzyme complex in this sunscreen protects the skin from not only ultraviolet rays but also a wide range of pollutants, such as fine dust. It also features physical blockers (titanium and zinc oxide). So, unlike chemical sunscreens, which need about 30 minutes after application before they can start providing protection, Prevage City Smart blocks UV rays immediately upon application. Free of oils and parabens, it’s great for sensitive skin as well.
02
Destination - Da Nang/Hoi An, Vietnam
Enjoy relaxing by the sea and taking downtown tours in Vietnam’s two hottest cities! Registered as a UNESCO Cultural Heritage Site, Hoi An’s Old Town offers blue water, low prices, and food so good that three meals a day feels like far too few. For this exotic destination, we would like to suggest three “skin shields” that effectively block the humidity and heat of summer.
Holds up in the heat: Transparent UV Protection
-
Diamond White Oil-Free Brilliant Sun Protection Broad Spectrum SPF 50 PA+++
US$91
The addition of a CC cream-like function gives this product an incredibly smooth and transparent finish. Also, its pomegranate extract, which is an especially effective anti-aging agent, breathes new life into exhausted skin. As long as the skin is cleansed of all dust and oils beforehand, this oil-free product can be applied as often as necessary.
-
Expert Youth Shield Tone Up Milk SPF50+ PA++++
US$61
This product is a true gem; it has maintained the No. 1 sunscreen sold in department stores for the past 14 years. An “intelligent” sunscreen that features pearl powder and mineral pigments, it completely reflects all light while giving your skin a beautiful sheen. This long-time summertime favorite is rated as PA++++, allowing it to handle the rays of any destination to which your travels take you.
-
UV Perfect Advanced Anti-Dullness 12-Hour UV Protector SPF50 (30ml x 3)
US$37
This oil-free product has been certified as non-comedogenic, meaning that it will not cause breakouts or acne. As a makeup base, it helps control the secretion of sebum and maintain an even skin tone. (Duty free exclusive)
03
Destination - Hong Kong, China
Living up to its name (香港, or “fragrant harbor”), Hong Kong is full of attractions for all types of travelers. An extravagant yet elegant city, Hong Kong is known as a shopper’s paradise! However, despite the glitz and glamor, the city can be quite hard on your skin, as the weather is hot and humid and the shopping malls are heavily air-conditioned.
Eliminates fear of air conditioner overuse: Matte UV Protection
-
Cellular Swiss UV Protection Veil SPF50 PA+++
US$185
A sunblock lotion made with mineral-rich glacial water from the Alps, giving it a powerful soothing effect, this product is perfect for skin that is stressed by exposure to extreme differences in indoor and outdoor temperatures. The licorice in this lotion suppresses the production of melanin to make the skin clearer and brighter in appearance.
-
8-Hour Cream Targeted Sun Defense Stick SPF50 High Protection
US$23
A stick sunscreen that is the most portable of the nine introduced here, Elizabeth Arden’s Eight Hour Cream Targeted Sun Defense Stick is oil-free and goes on clear, leaving behind no white cast. Featuring the same moisturizing and soothing ingredients as the rest of the brand’s best-selling “Eight Hour” series, this product makes the skin feel refreshed while providing a powerful moisturizing effect.
-
Sisley Phyto-Blanc Brightening Daily Defense Fluid
US$260
This product is made with a cutting-edge formula that uses safe physical blockers to replicate the fluid applicability of chemical sunscreens. Made with ingredients such as stabilized vitamin C and buckwheat seed extract, Sisley’s Phyto-Blanc complex protects the skin from the dangers posed by ultraviolet rays, pollutants, and even extreme temperature differences.
