Review] SKIN1004 Hyalu-CICA Water-fit Sun Serum SPF 50+ PA++++

 2022 is the year of discovering the best sunscreens. The year is about to end and it is about time I started rounding up the best makeup and skincare products I tried this year.  I have lost the count of all the sunscreens I tried this year. But out of the ones which left an impression, Skin1004 is one of them. I previously reviewed their Centella sun cream. Today my post focuses on their newest launch, SKIN1004 Hyalu-CICA Water-fit Sun Serum.

The SKIN1004 Hyalu-CICA Water-fit Sun Serum contains hyaluronic acid, centella asiatica along with some other good ingredients like green tea in its formula. So it is hydrating, soothing and gives the best sun protection. 

I have oily skin but because of cold weather and tretinoin, 0.05% . My skin is very dry and dehydrated these days. So I prefer products which provide intense hydration to my skin and soothe my skin . 

Product Description 
A non-nano chemical sunscreen that blocks UV rays, while simultaneously hydrating the skin. Leaves skin with a moisturized, dewy finish.

KEY INGREDIENTS:
Hyalu-Cica Formula: Our unique combination of Centella Asiatica Extract and Hyaluronic Acids simultaneously heals and hydrates the skin.

This has the same tube packaging , a very beautiful design and is easy to dispense with. Overall, very purse and travel friendly . My only problem is that it is a bit hard to photograph. ( content creator problems , hehe )

SKIN1004 Hyalu-CICA Water-fit Sun Serum is a chemical sunscreen. It leaves a soft, non-greasy finish with zero white cast. The texture is like an emulsion. It is scent free, light, easy to spread and drys down within a few minutes. I have noticed that this makes my skin smooth and even. And don't cause pilling with makeup.

I have worn this in all sorts of weather conditions : hot sunny day, rainy and partly cloudy weather. And I have noticed that this functioned the same regardless of the weather. No sun burn and tanning were noticed post usage. This is amazing sunscreen that is suitable for all skin types. It keeps my face sebum free and hydrated during the day. If you are searching for good sunscreen, I highly recommend you to give this one a try. It is often on discount and fulfils the criteria of good sunscreen.

[Review] PURITO Centella Green Level Unscented Sun

I have a special place in heart for brands who listen to suggestions and complains of their consumers carefully and make adjustments/alterations to their product accordingly

Many people (who had sensitive skin) were a bit wary of essentials oils in Purito products as it can trigger acne. So Purito released the unscented + essential oil free version of their best selling chemical sunscreen

I have my own list of acne triggering ingredients but lavender oil thankfully is not one of them so honestly speaking I wasn't much bothered by essential oils in Purito's skincare products

I have previously tried the PURITO Centella Green Level Safe Sun and really like the moisturizing and non tacky properties
 Unscented and even more gentle!

According to the Brand

The product contains mild and safe ingredients that are EWG Green Level Grades 1 and 2 to avoid side effects of the existing chemical sunscreens such as eye and skin irritation. It doesn’t cause any discomfort, even when applied to sensitive skin. If applying sunscreen before makeup was a burden because of the white cast and the stifling feeling, PURITO Centella Unscented is the right product for you, as it spreads in a thin, transparent layer and doesn’t leave a heavy finish on the skin.

 PURITO Centella Unscented Sun is specifically formulated for people who either dont like scented products, or are sensitive to essential oils. This particular sunscreen has  highly concentrated super centella hence the green color. 

Ingredients:

Water, Butylene Glycol, Butyloctyl Salicylate, Glycerin, Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate, Hydrogenated Polyisobutene,Acrylates Copolymer, Silica, 1,2-Hexanediol, Niacinamide, Dibutyl Adipate, Ethylhexyl Triazone,  Polyglyceryl-3 Methylglucose Distearate, Cetearyl Olivate, Cetearyl Alcohol, Dicaprylyl Carbonate, Sorbitan Olivate, Glyceryl Stearate, Methyl Glucose Sesquistearate, Sorbitan Stearate,Centella Asiatica Extract(4315ppm), Madecassoside,Asiaticoside, Madecassic Acid, Asiatic Acid, Pentaerythrityl Tetra-di-t-butyl Hydroxyhydrocinnamate, Disodium EDTA, Adenosine, Hyaluronic Acid, Caprylyl Glycol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Tocopherol

This comes in a white squeeze tube and holds 60ml of product in it. The sunscreen has lotion like consistency. Its very easy to spread and absorbs easily without any whitecast of tacky feel. The mild green color comes from centella asiatica. This smells like nothing. I have sniffed this multiple times and my nose couldn't detect any scent. On my oily skin this leaves a slightly dewy finish. The texture is light and it doesn't clog pores ( unlike western sunscreen ) . I have been wearing this continuously under my makeup and this works so well as a base.

Overall I am really impressed with this sunscreen because its very moisturizing, white cast, fragrance, paraben and silicon free. Plus its loaded with skin repairing ingredient like centella asiatica

If you have sensitive skin, or you avoid essential oils in skincare or you have dry to normal skin type you are going to enjoy this a lot. This is going to be my go to sunscreen for winters
