“I received this product for free from Picky and SKIN1004 in exchange for my honest review.”
I have always been a big fan of Skin1004 ever since learning about their products and their skincare line. Their soothing and brightening lines are the best and very promising ones which didn't fail my expectations.
What's more, their products are formulated especially to cater to different skin types. You can see just how much efforts and research the brand puts in to create quality skincare products using quality ingredients and finally, what makes Skin1004 unique is that it uses Madagascar's own Centella for their 'Centella Line' products. From packaging to their formula to performance, Skin1004 products has earned a special place in my heart.
Currently, there are four skincare lines under this brand and they are:
💦Centella Line
💦Hyalu-Cica Line
💦Tone Brightening Line
💦 Zombie Beauty Line
I recently received the Skin1004 Madagascar Centella Hyalu-Cica Water-Fit Sun Serum SPF50+ PA+++ and as I am so new to this, i really couldn't wait to see how it would work out for me.
☘️About Madagascar Centella Hyalu-Cica Water-Fit Sun Serum SPF50+ PA+++ :

These additional ingredients are known as the Baby Green Complex to protect skin. What is Baby Green Complex? They are the nutrients taken from seven kinds of young sprout ingredients and processed through ultra-low temperature extraction methods to maximize ingredient benefits. (When you look at how Skin1004 creates the formula for their products, you will feel so amazed!)
☘️Key Ingredients:
Hyalu-Cica Formula👉A unique combination of Centella Asiatica Extract and Hyaluronic Acids to simultaneously heal and hydrate
the skin.
Broccoli Extracts👉Protects skin from damage caused by ultraviolet radiation.
Ginkgo Biloba Leaf Extract👉 Its anti-inflammatory properties helps to treat acne, eczema and many types of skin inflammation.
Niacinamide👉Used for brightening and fading PIH (Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation).
☘️Texture:
It's lightweight, non greasy, fast absorbance and creamy. It doesn't leave a white cast but it does make my skin a shade fairer. Love it!
☘️Packaging:
Starting with its unit carton, it's made from a good quality soft matte finish cardboard. Its material feels nice to touch. The design of the box, which features modern typography and a beautiful picture of the sea waves on the front, gives me a feeling of calmness and strong indie brand vibes. The main features of the product are shown on the side with an image of the Hyalu Cica ingredient and also the key benefit of the sunscreen.
I also love the short phrases found on the carton's inner flaps and the small attention to detail such as the silver printed sticker and the embossing of the Skin1004 logo on top. There's also Korean words inside the box. All of this gives me a good impression of the product and brand itself. I really like how the brand has such excellent packaging designs throughout its entire skincare line.
Moving on to the actual product, the sunscreen is housed in a white tube with has a pump to dispense the cream out and a translucent blue cap to protect the pump. I actually find this design very ingenious because this is the first time I've seen a sunscreen with a pump to dispense as most sunscreens have to be squeezed from their tubes. Wow, this is really a creative design!
The sunscreen is also travel-sized friendly and the packaging design is minimalist yet it gives me luxe vibes.
☘️Scent:
Mild fragrant scent.
☘️Who is Madagascar Centella Hyalu-Cica Water-Fit Sun Serum SPF50+ PA+++ for?
All skin types.
(¯`·._.·Personal Experiences·._.·´¯)
I absolutely love using this sunscreen! It's got everything such as good ingredients for protecting and soothing skin. It also has a high sun protection grade and oh, I just love its texture!
The other day, when I went out to go grocery shopping, I applied some of this Madagascar Centella Hyalu-Cica Water-Fit Sun Serum SPF50+ PA+++ on my skin. It was very easy to use it and I found the pump really convenient, like how easy it was to decide how little or too much of sunscreen I want. What an ingenious design!
I read a review elsewhere about this sunscreen saying it left a white cast on her face but when I used it, it seemed to blend well with my skin tone and made it a shade fairer. It was almost as I was applying light foundation to my skin. Moreover, the sunscreen didn't leave my skin looking greasy or feeling sticky. It also didn't clog my pores and my skin feels so protected or "covered" whenever I use it outside. I love a good sunscreen that makes me feel good!
The fact that the brand could create a sunscreen formulated with key ingredients such as Hyalu-Cica plus the ingenious design really made the overall product a true luxury. I was impressed by this sunscreen at first sight despite not using it yet, particularly because I was impressed by its pump. This was actually the first time I've seen a sunscreen with that design.
All in all, the Madagascar Centella Hyalu-Cica Water-Fit Sun Serum SPF50+ PA+++ was an absolutely wonderful non chemical sunscreen which packed a punch of awesome ingredients that benefitted the skin. It had an ingenious packaging design, a lovely, creamy texture and application was very lovely. I also loved how my skin gets protected, hydrated and treated by this sunscreen.
I was very happy to receive it and now I can add it to my growing list of Skin1004 products. Currently, I have a number of their products from different lines but not from the Zombie Beauty line or the Hyalu-Cica line. Skin1004 Madagascar Centella Hyalu-Cica Water-Fit Sun Serum SPF50+ PA+++ was my first and it has immediately earned a special place in my heart. I truly recommend everyone to try this sunscreen and it can be purchased at their official website.
