On top of this there’s the fact that, at the end of the day, you are still relying on people to do the right thing. PA+ indicates sunscreen can provide UVA protection with a factor of Persistent Pigment Darkening (PPD) between two and four. It protects from medium UV radiation.

PURITO - Daily Go-To Sunscreen | YesStyle
One thing you might see if you’re shopping for an Asian or Korean-specific sunscreen is something called PA+, PA++, or PA+++. This is a Japanese measurement that’s widely used now. It’s based on something called the Persistent Pigment Darkening reaction reading at two to four hours of sun exposure.After 4.5 years, the skin of daily sunscreen users had no detectable increase in aging, and they were 24% less likely to show increased signs of aging. Invasive melanomas were almost four times less common in daily sunscreen users. Purito has issued a statement regarding the results of its independent testing and what the company plans to do going forward: The way that seems to work the best is by making special plates that mimic human skin, so when the sunscreen applies it dries on it just like it would on skin.

What the hell do I do?You can’t figure out the amount of sunscreen filters in a formula just from reading the inci list. US sunscreen list the amount helpfully as drug information and gives you the percentage of every filter, but the European Union and Asian sunscreens don’t.
