Sunscreen is the only step in the skin care routine that all dermatologists insist no one can afford to miss, but sunscreen is the step that many people dislike the most — oily, greasy, or even ghostlike because of its white residue. And that is precisely what Hyalu-Cica Water-Fit Sun Serum SPF 50+ was designed to address.
Unlike other sunscreens that are heavy and could result in a noticeable cast on darker skins, this one utilizes a chemical formula containing four UV filter active ingredients, which include Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate, Ethylhexyl Triazone, Methylene Bis-Benzotriazolyl Tetramethylbutylphenol, and Diethylhexyl Butamido Triazone, hence offering a broad-spectrum SPF 50+ PA++++ protection. This is precisely what makes it receive such accolades regarding its status as SKIN1004sunscreen no white cast.
In line with the brand’s key active ingredient, this SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella sunscreen product revolves around a high concentration of Centella Asiatica extract (9,800ppm) along with hyaluronic acid and sodium hyaluronate. This combination aims to balance out in a "golden ratio" wherein hydration and skin soothing properties are provided in order to treat dehydration, dryness, and sensitivity while the SPF takes care of protecting the skin. It also contains niacinamide, giving the product an additional purpose of a brightening Niacinamide sunscreen. The Green Complex of seven different plant extracts which include green tea, ginkgo biloba, and broccoli sprouts provides extra antioxidant protection against environmental aggressors.
The product has been repeatedly described by reviewers as very lightweight, non-greasy and even serum-like, making it an excellent choice for those who look for a Daily moisturizing sunscreen under makeup. According to one long-term reviewer who has combination skin and is prone to freckles, she used the product daily without burning or pilling problems around her eyes and neck for several days in a row. It makes it a truly amazing choice among the Best Korean sunscreens for hydrated skin.
It is free from any ingredients such as perfume, essential oils, alcohol, parabens, and mineral oil, thus making it one of the most suitable sunscreen products for those having sensitive skin or acne-prone skin. Moreover, it has been certified Reef-safe broad-spectrum SPF 50+, which means it has no traces of any harmful chemicals such as oxybenzone, octinoxate, and avobenzone.
Shake well before applying to face and neck 15 minutes prior to going out in the sun. Apply every two hours if outside for prolonged periods, and pat rather than rub if reapplying after putting on makeup.
Thanks to its white cast-free formula, Centella and hyaluronic acid hydration blend, and reef-friendly and sensitive skin formula, the SKIN1004 Hyalu-Cica Water-Fit Sun Serum can be considered one of the most truly wearable daily sunscreens of K-beauty. It may very well be worth another chance for those who have abandoned sunscreen due to texture alone.
