Long time lurker, first time caller, not sure if this post is super relevant so please let me know if it’s more appropriate for like a thread or somewhere else
I was really disappointed last year when I went to order my favorite sunscreen (Rohto Skin Aqua UV Super Moisture Milk) but learned it had been discontinued. I have oily but dehydrated skin, and don’t really like the glass look on me, so I loved the more matte but not overly drying finish of this one. Also didn’t make my eyes sting!
I saw some posts from other diehards who were looking for alternatives, and tried some of those suggestions. I ended up settling on Kose Suncut Milk, but it has more of a powdery finish? A few others were okay but my eyes are really sensitive and most still make me tear up if I wear too close to my eyes.
Visited Japan for the first time these past couple weeks, and when I went into 7/11 I couldn’t believe it – the super moisture milk was stocked there!! I immediately grabbed two (left the last one for the next person in need lol) thinking it was my luck and maybe it was old stock being cleared or something.
But then I saw it at the next 7/11 I went to… and the next. Over the next couple weeks I saw it stocked at every 7/11 I visited, which was a lot cause I’m a sucker for konbini food lol.
So this is my PSA: 7/11 has the super moisture milk for about $4 US!
I saw it in numerous locations in different cities/neighborhoods such as Tokyo (Ginza, Tsukiji, Shibuya, Shinjuku), Osaka (Namba, Dotonburi), Kyoto (Gion), and even Kanazawa. I did not see it in any other convenience stores, nor weirdly drugstores (only stopped in a few like Sundrug and Matsukiyo). Hope this helps others who may be looking for it.
