## Important notes

Japan is the current 70g r formula. The US page shows a Japan-made 70g tube with the current ingredient panel but no Japan JAN. Hong Kong is a regional equivalent; HK$49.95 is the per-tube cost only when Watsons’ buy-one-get-one offer applies and two are bought.

Japan tax-free eligibility, actual local sales tax, daily FX, shipping, card fees, warranty, and import charges can change the final cost.
