What it is

An essence-type daily sunscreen using modern chemical UV filters for broad-spectrum protection with a clear, comfortable finish.

Who it's for

  • Normal, combination, and oily skin wanting a non-greasy, no-cast SPF.
  • Makeup wearers who need a smooth, quick-set base.
  • Users comfortable with chemical filters; may suit deeper skin tones due to transparent finish.

Key ingredients (INCI)

  • UV filters (chemical/organic) — broad-spectrum SPF50+ PA++++ protection with transparent application.
  • Niacinamide — supports even tone and barrier function.
  • Sodium Hyaluronate and humectants — hydration to maintain a dewy, comfortable finish.
  • Plant extracts (including white truffle line) — cosmetic antioxidants and soothing support.

Free-from / texture

  • Essence-like fluid that spreads easily without white cast.
  • Fast-absorbing, non-sticky, dewy finish suitable for daily reapplication.
  • No mineral filters; check full INCI for personal allergens or fragrance sensitivities.

How to use & order

  • Apply as the last step of morning skincare; shake if directed on packaging.
  • Use 2-3 finger lengths or ~1/4 teaspoon for face and neck; cover ears and hairline.
  • Reapply every 2-3 hours with sustained sun exposure or after sweating/towel-drying.

Conflicts & layering tips

  • Compatible with most moisturizers and serums; let actives fully absorb before applying.
  • If pilling occurs, reduce heavy silicone layers or allow more drying time between steps.
  • Fragrance-sensitive users should review INCI; consider patch testing if easily irritated by chemical filters.

Evidence & notes

  • Provides broad-spectrum SPF50+ PA++++ per manufacturer testing; real-world protection depends on adequate, even application.
  • Chemical filters typically apply clear and suit deeper skin tones without cast.
  • Daily sunscreen use is key for supporting brightening routines with actives like niacinamide or vitamin C.

Safety

  • For external use only; discontinue if stinging or redness persists.
  • Patch test if you have a history of sensitivity to chemical filters or fragrance.
  • Avoid contact with eyes; rinse with water if contact occurs.
  • Safe for most skin types; consult a professional if using post-procedure or on compromised skin.

FAQ

Q. Is this sunscreen suitable for sensitive or acne-prone skin?

A. It is a lightweight chemical (organic) filter formula without mineral filters; patch test first if you are reactive to chemical UV filters or fragrance.

Q. Does it leave a white cast?

A. It uses chemical filters only, so it should apply clear on most skin tones when spread evenly.

Q. Can I wear makeup over it?

A. Yes, the essence texture layers well under makeup; let it set for 1-2 minutes before applying foundation.
