What it is

An essence-type daily sunscreen with chemical UV filters designed for a mild, non-greasy finish and transparent application.

Who it's for

  • Normal to combination and oily skin wanting a breathable, no-cast SPF.
  • Makeup wearers seeking a smooth base that sets quickly.
  • Users who prefer chemical filters over mineral filters for clear application; patch test if sensitive.

Key ingredients (INCI)

  • UV filters (chemical/organic) — broad-spectrum SPF50+ PA++++ protection with a clear finish.
  • Niacinamide — supports even tone and barrier function.
  • Sodium Hyaluronate and humectants — hydration to maintain a comfortable, dewy feel.
  • Soothing plant extracts (including white truffle line) — cosmetic antioxidant and calming support.

Free-from / texture

  • Essence-like fluid that spreads easily without white cast.
  • Lightweight, non-sticky, dewy finish suitable for reapplication.
  • No mineral filters; review full INCI for potential fragrance or filter sensitivities.

How to use & order

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

Conflicts & layering tips

  • Plays well with most serums and moisturizers; allow prior layers to absorb to prevent pilling.
  • If pilling occurs, reduce heavy silicones and give more drying time between steps.
  • Fragrance-sensitive users should patch test if prone to irritation from chemical filters.

Evidence & notes

  • Broad-spectrum SPF50+ PA++++ per manufacturer testing; effectiveness depends on generous, even application.
  • Chemical filters apply clear and typically suit deeper skin tones without cast.
  • Daily sunscreen is essential when using brightening or exfoliating actives to help maintain results.

Safety

  • For external use only; discontinue if burning or persistent redness occurs.
  • Patch test for known sensitivities to chemical filters or fragrance components.
  • Avoid contact with eyes; rinse thoroughly if contact occurs.
  • Consult a professional before use on compromised or post-procedure skin.

FAQ

A. It is formulated as a mild, chemical-filter sunscreen; patch test first if you react to chemical UV filters or fragrance.

Q. Does it leave a white cast?

A. It uses chemical (organic) filters without mineral filters, so it should apply clear when spread evenly.
