Hello everyone. So let's take a look at the first.

Just as it says, a rating of PA +++ so great UVA protection..... Here's the thing. I ALWAYS thought that UVA protection ratings only went as high as PA +++....
BUT I found a Korean sunscreen which boasts a PA ++++ rating!!! I had no idea this was possible. Here it is!!!

AND another version from the same producers

Maybe we should all be jumping in this one right here!!
Now to move on I have found another sunscreen known as ash umbra which boasts a fiver star UVA rating (which I am skeptical about due to this very notion.... That it shows zinc oxide as the main ingredient.... But on top of this.... The other ingredients it boasts are a bunch of botanical antioxidants that I am not sure we can just attribute a full star of protection for UVA to.... You guys think this is the real deal in terms of its claim?

Now I would like to add some thoughts. First of all, the confusion with La Roche Posay (mostly due to the fact that there is a US version, meaning that THAT version does NOT have the chemical sunscreen ingredients we are looking for when we think of the the European version of la Roche).... The problem is that it is easy to get confused with finding the one with the higher protection (the European version) since the American version visually and physically appears almost identical on the outside.... I have YET to find an online dealer with the LA Roche Posay that is NOT the garbage American version..::
Lastly I would like to propose that perhaps the best sunscreens available to us now (even more effective that amazing ones like Bioderma Max and the European version of La Roche lossy anthelios), are the Korean ones I just listed..... What do you guys think? Do you think the European ones I just typed up have identical protection to these Japanese and Korean ones (regarding UVA protection of course) or do you think we should stick with our anthelios?
Either way, my plan is to do this. To buy the BIORE sunscreen with the PA ++++ rating; and put a high zinc oxide percentage sunscreen on top of it, to then have a very amazing combination for protection...
Lastly, do you think that PA ++++ is too good to be true? Should we actually be ignoring such a claim?
What do you truly think is the best sunscreen out of this bunch based on UVA protection?
