Skin Aqua Tone Up UV Essence Lavender 80g SPF50+ PA++++ is a colour-correcting sunscreen essence for dull and yellow-toned skin that wants a brightened complexion and UV protection in one step, without wearing foundation. The lavender tint uses colour theory — purple-violet neutralises yellow-orange tones on the colour wheel — to visually lift and brighten yellow or sallow skin on application, creating a cleaner, more transparent complexion appearance.
How it works: Lavender pigments have a purple-violet hue. When applied to yellow-toned skin, the violet pigment optically cancels the yellow by adding its complementary colour. The result is skin that appears more neutral and brighter — the same principle used in purple shampoo to cancel yellow in blonde hair, or in colour-correcting cosmetics. The effect is immediate and visual; it does not alter the actual skin pigmentation.
Who benefits most from the lavender version: Skin with warm, yellow, or olive undertones that looks dull or sallow by midday. If your skin tone reads as pink or neutral rather than yellow, the brightening effect will be less dramatic. The Skin Aqua Light Up Essence (neutral brightening pigments) may be more suitable for neutral or cool-toned skin.
Known in Japan as スキンアクア トーンアップUVエッセンス ラベンダー 80g.
