What it is

A hydrating sun serum that pairs broad-spectrum UV filters with hyaluronic acid and centella actives to keep skin comfortable, soothed, and protected through daily wear.

Who it's for

  • Normal, combination, or oily skin needing a non-greasy, daily SPF layer.
  • Those who prefer a serum-like texture that layers cleanly under makeup.
  • Skin that benefits from soothing and hydrating support while wearing sunscreen.

Key ingredients (INCI)

  • Broad-spectrum UV filters — protect against UVA/UVB; check packaging for specific filter types and SPF/PA ratings.
  • Hyaluronic Acid — humectant hydration for a plumper, comfortable feel.
  • Centella-derived soothers (e.g., Madecassoside/Asiaticoside derivatives) — help calm and support skin feel.
  • Panthenol or similar humectants — add moisture and post-sun comfort.

Free-from / texture

  • Water-light serum texture; spreads easily and sets with minimal residue.
  • Non-greasy, low white cast; check for fragrance if you are sensitive.
  • Designed to layer well under moisturizer and makeup without pilling.

How to use & order

  • Apply as the last step of morning skincare (before makeup); use two to three finger-lengths for face and neck.
  • Spread evenly and allow to set for about a minute before layering makeup.
  • Reapply every 2–3 hours when exposed to sun, and after sweating or toweling.

Conflicts & layering tips

  • Generally low conflict; if using strong actives, ensure barrier-supportive products underneath.
  • Allow serums/creams to absorb before applying to prevent pilling.
  • Patch test if sensitive to UV filters or centella derivatives.

Evidence & notes

  • SPF efficacy relies on proper amount and reapplication; follow labeled SPF/PA guidance.
  • Hyaluronic acid and centella derivatives provide cosmetic hydration and soothing; not medical treatment.
  • Use daily, even on cloudy days, and pair with shade/hat for best protection.

Safety

  • For external use only; discontinue if irritation occurs.
  • Patch test before first use, especially if you have sensitive or reactive skin.
  • Avoid direct contact with eyes; if contact occurs, rinse thoroughly.
  • Pregnancy/breastfeeding: cosmetic ingredients; defer to your physician for personal guidance.
