Obagi C UV Emulsion SPF50+ PA++++ 30ml — Japanese Vitamin C Sunscreen
Overview
Obagi C UV Emulsion is a premium Japanese sunscreen emulsion combining triple vitamin C derivatives with broad-spectrum UV protection (SPF50+ PA++++). Formulated by Rohto's Obagi skincare science, this daily emulsion protects against both UVA and UVB radiation while actively supporting skin brightness through a trio of stabilised ascorbic acid forms: ascorbyl glycoside, ascorbyl tetraisopalmitate, and glyceryl ascorbic acid. The proprietary Signal Lock Complex II addresses skin-ageing signals triggered by UV exposure. Light in texture and suitable for daily face use.

FAQ
Can I use Obagi C UV Emulsion as my only morning sunscreen?
Yes. Obagi C UV Emulsion provides SPF50+ PA++++ protection and is formulated as a standalone daily sunscreen. Apply it as the last skincare step before makeup.
Does this sunscreen leave a white cast?
The emulsion is formulated to minimise white cast, though it does contain zinc oxide. On most skin tones, the silicone-based emulsion blends seamlessly; very deep skin tones may wish to blend thoroughly.
Is this product suitable for sensitive skin?
The formula is designed for general daily use. If you have highly reactive skin, patch-test before full-face application. It is not specifically labelled as fragrance-free.
How is this different from a regular Obagi sunscreen without vitamin C?
The "C" series adds a triple vitamin C complex and the Signal Lock Complex II, making it a two-in-one product: broad-spectrum sun protection and daily brightening/anti-ageing support in a single emulsion.
Is the product authentic? Where does it ship from?
Yes — all products at Tsujimoto Market are sourced and shipped directly from Japan (Kobe). Every item is verified for authenticity before dispatch.
