I received this Sun Cream for free as part of a StyleKorean Try Me Review Me giveaway along with 4 other products from Skin1004 in exchange for my honest review.
This is a hypoallergenic physical sunscreen formulated with Zinc Oxide to protect against UV rays, natural Madagascar Centella Asiatica to calm skin as well as brightening and anti-aging properties.
Key Ingredients:
🔸 Zinc Oxide
🔸 Centella Asiatica Extract (29,400 ppm)
🔸 Niacinamide
🔸 Purslane Extract
🔸 Houttuynia Cordata
🔸 Adenosine
🔸 Madecassic Acid
🔸 Asiaticoside
🔸 Asiatic Acid
Packaging/Texture: White 50ml tube with golden cap, has a pump dispenser. Sunscreen has a lightweight white cream texture. No added fragrance.
My Experience: This is a nice mineral sunscreen, especially for sensitive skin. It has a slightly thicker cream texture (compared to the Hyalu-Cica serum),that spreads easily. That being said it does take a little bit longer to blend in completely, but once absorbed is not sticky, nor does it feel heavy on the skin.
It dries to a semi-matte finish with a light tone-up brightening effect on my skin. I usually don’t like mineral sunscreen because of the white cast, but it is minimal on my skin, and it may be more noticeable on darker skins.
The Centella + Skincalm complex (Purslane & Houttuynia Cordata) provides soothing properties, Niacinamide helps brighten and adenosine provides anti-aging benefits to the skin. Note that this does contain alcohol, for the lightweight texture, but it doesn’t burn eyes or irritate skin.
I really like this physical sunscreen and would repurchase. However I do wish this had SPF50 instead of SPF30 protection, so I’ll use it when I’m indoors or on cloudy days.
I do think this is a great mineral sunscreen for daily use and all skin types.
