Madagascar Centella Hyalu-Cica Water-Fit Sun Serum SPF50+ PA++++
Application
✨ Glides on so effortless and blends in so quickly! There’s no extra rubbing to blend it.
✨ Freshly after applying on the skin it feels like after a sheet mask. So plump, bouncy, and glowy. Then it dries down to more of a satin finish with the same hydration. It takes probably 5-10 mins to dry down.
✨ Doesn’t sting my eyes! ✨
✨ Pump applicator gives decent amount of product. I use 3 pumps for face and neck and use it like a moisturizer for my combo skin.
Texture
✨ Some sunscreens leave a film that prevents absorption. This one applies like a dream! It’s very lightweight and non-greasy, and doesn’t leave a film on the skin. Once dried down I can’t feel it.
✨ Thin and milky lotion. The texture reminds me a lot of the Make P:rem Panthenol Essence if you’ve tried that.
✨ Creamy and smooth, almost with a cooling effect even tho I don’t refrigerate my products.
Ingredients
Skin1004 uses 4 different chemical filters, 3 being pretty photostable. So they don’t degrade as fast as you wear them in the sun. There’s one filter dedicated to UVA rays, one that’s broad spectrum and in total 3 protect against UVB rays. Because of this I’m pretty confident it offers good protection.
The rest of the ingredients are pretty similar to other Korean sunscreens: Niacinamide, various anti-inflammatory plant extracts, and 3 weights of hyaluronic acid being the main highlights. It’s mainly the texture and formula that stands out to me, centella is Skin1004’s signature ingredient and lots of people already love it.
Thank you to Picky and Skin1004! I recieved the sunscreen in exchange for my honest review, and I’m loving it 😍
Price
✨ $16.99 on stylevana and $19 on the Skin1004 website (which has a lot of options for countries). For 50ml, which is standard.
🚨 That’s more on the high end for a Korean SPF. For example, Beauty of Joseon is around $10 on stylevana for the same standard 50ml.
🚨 I’m not sure how well the pump is going to work as I get toward the end of the bottle. It sits the wrong way for gravity to work with the pump and I’m probably going to cut it open which could introduce bacteria.
🚨 It’s kind of expensive compared to other sunscreens, and it doesn’t have any expensive “wow” ingredient except centella or the SPF filters.
However, I love the texture and it’s already lasted me a decent amount of time. I’m so picky about texture for SPF since I have combo skin and it’s summer here. I need something that’s like a moisturizer, but super light and easily absorbed, but not super shiny OR drying. I think I found another holy grail sunscreen!
