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.
