Bio Watery Sun Cream SPF50+ PA++++

The sunscreen that redefined what chemical SPF can feel like. Zero white cast, zero stickiness, and a pore-blurring velvet finish that layers cleanly under makeup. The 1,000ppm mung bean extract soothes any irritation, and the result is a sunscreen that oily and acne-prone users actually want to reapply. Tocobo hero product for a reason.
