It starts, as it often does, with heat.
Singapore’s midday sun presses in. Your skin feels the familiar sting — not from neglect, but from sunscreen that’s given up halfway through your morning. You reach into your bag, find the tube, and hesitate. Reapply? Over makeup? Again?
That hesitation — and the science behind preventing it — is exactly what Shiseido has spent over a century perfecting. In 2025, the global beauty powerhouse has gone beyond reformulation — launching a reinvented Global Suncare rangepowered by its latest innovation: SynchroShieldRepair™ technology.
A Shield That Evolves With You
Most sunscreens feel like armour: thick, chalky, and worn with reluctance. Shiseido’s new approach does the opposite. At the heart of the reformulated products lies a trio of technologies:
- HeatForce™, which boosts UV protection as your skin temperature rises
- WetForce™, activated by water and sweat
- AutoRepair™, which helps mend micro-tears in your sunscreen layer as you go about your day
In short? Your SPF doesn’t fade — it adapts. Whether you’re hiking at MacRitchie or braving Orchard Road’s midday glare, this is protection that evolves with your routine.
From Tokyo Labs to Tropical Streets
Shiseido first launched its sunscreen in 1923. With over a century of research and development in Japan, the brand’s SPF offerings are more than trend — they’re trusted science.
The 2025 lineup, recently launched in Singapore, caters precisely to our urban lifestyle: humid, high UV, and on-the-go.
The Invisible Upgrade
The Perfect Sun Protector Lotion SPF50+ PA++++ (S$70) and Clear Stick UV Protector SPF50+ (S$45) are both designed to glide on effortlessly with no white cast. They disappear into all skin tones and sit comfortably under or over makeup — no pilling, no fuss.
Infused with five types of algae extract, glycerin, and glycyrrhizic acid derivatives, this range hydrates while it protects, making it feel more like high-performance skincare than old-school sunblock.
The full range is available now via Shiseido’s global site, Sephora Singapore, and Shopee Singapore.
Reapplication, Solved
The Clear Stick deserves a special shoutout. Compact and fuss-free, it glides directly onto the skin and fits into even the smallest bags. Most importantly, it encourages what we all forget: reapplication. It’s the perfect SPF solution for office workers, outdoor athletes, and anyone tired of smearing white cream over a full face of makeup.
Built for the Future — and the Planet
Shiseido’s Global Suncare range also reflects its ongoing shift towards sustainability:
- Bottles and tubes now use up to 70% plant-derived plastics
- Coral Respect Formulas, tested with Ryukyu University, help reduce reef toxicity without compromising SPF performance
The result? A sunscreen that shields your skin and shows respect for the environment.
Clinically Proven Results
Real-world testing showed:
- 96% of users saw no white cast
- 100% found it lightweight and smooth
- Most experienced up to 8 hours of hydration
These figures weren’t created in a boardroom — they come from consumer trials across Asia, designed to reflect our climate and lifestyle.
Verdict: The Only Sunscreen You’ll Actually Use
The 2025 Shiseido Global Suncare line isn’t about trends. It’s a commitment to performance, backed by history, made for real life. It protects smarter, wears lighter, and respects your skin, your schedule, and your planet.
Available now at Shiseido online, Sephora Singapore, and Shopee.
