The New Most Popular Korean Sunscreen is Worth the Hype
I buy Korean and Japanese sunscreen from Stylevana in bulk, because it takes about a month to get here. Might as well buy a lot and then not have to worry about it for awhile, right? Months ago, I was buying my usual crate full of sunscreen, naturally getting multiple tubes of my then and current fave from Beauty of Joseon (reviewed here), and I decided to throw in a couple tubes of the sunscreen that dethroned Beauty of Joseon as the number one most popular pick on Stylevana — SKIN1004 - Madagascar Centella Hyalu-Cica Water-Fit Sun Serum SPF50 PA++++.
I didn’t get around to actually using this sunscreen until a few weeks ago, and I immediately understood why it’s the most popular one Stylevana offers. The formula is super lightweight and absorbs into the skin beautifully. As with all Korean sunscreens, there is no white cast, no excessive rubbing to make sure it’s all absorbed, and no worries that it won’t offer as much sun protection as promised. Skin1004 Hyalu-Cica sunscreen goes on like an absolute dream and gives you a glow that’s not greasy or overly wet looking — just pretty, protected skin.
It’s also got amazing skincare properties from the hyaluronic acid and cica (centella, the magic stuff that heals irritation and removes redness). I was getting lax about sunscreen for a bit, and when I came back to my senses and started using this every day, I noticed a difference in my skin almost immediately. I was moisturized! From sunscreen! I just placed another Stylevana sunscreen order and got three tubes of Skin1004 Hyalu-Cica Sunscreen. It’s just that good.
