In this Isehan Sunkiller Kiss Me SPF 50+ PA++++ Perfect Water Essence sunscreen lotion review, I find an TERRIBLE performing sunscreen. This sunscreen is worse than the Biore aqua rich products, which I thought was the lowest of the low. However, many thanks to Mohammed for the sample (and introduced me to another sunscreen I have never heard of before)!
The Isehan Sunkiller Perfect Water Essence sunscreen is a hybrid sunscreen formulation using the active ingredients of Ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate, Hexyloxybenzoyl benzoate, Titanium Dioxide, and Toxophenyltriazine.
The Isehan Sunkiller Kiss Me SPF 50+ PA++++ lotion only blocked 16.23% of irradiated UVA, filtered 14.90% UVB, and only blocked 16.14% UVI irradiance. Ehm. Ok.

Isehan Sunkiller Kiss Me SPF 50+ PA++++ Perfect Water Essence sunscreen lotion characteristics at a glance:
- BAD
- Viscosity is very Medium-low.
Prepared slide BEFORE testing
The Isehan Sunkiller Kiss Me Perfect Water Essence sunscreen lotion exhibited a bit of thinning in the center or the sample. Thinking the thinner layer was the main reason for the awful results, I spot checked a thicker layer (towards the edges), yet the sunscreen still exhibited very weak UV filtering characteristics.
