What the gurus are saying

The gurus who tested it praise how lightweight and hydrating it feels without leaving skin greasy or dull, making it work well for oily and combination skin types and versatile enough for face and body. A few experts did notice a slight white cast and a radiant, somewhat tacky finish, so those with sensitivity to shine may want to apply powder afterward or use it before makeup. The consensus points to its affordable price and easy-to-apply lotion texture as strong practical wins.

"The Skin1004 Madagascar Centella Hyalu-Cica Water-Fit Sun Serum SPF 50 is such a multi-purpose, multi-use sunscreen. It's such an easy one to reapply as needed because it is so lightweight on the skin, but just has the nicest little bit of hydration effect as well, so that you're not getting dehydrated throughout the day. You don't have to worry about dullness and dryness. I love using it on my body. I reapply on my arms, on my neck, on my ears, anywhere that's exposed to the sun basically. It doesn't leave me with sticky fingers that gets residue on my phone. It's so lightweight that I can apply it either on my face or body with no greasiness or shininess. It really is just such a good sunscreen."

My Most Repurchased Korean Skin Care Products 🧴
"The Skin1004 Madagascar Centella Hyalu-Cica Water-Fit Sun Serum SPF 50 perfectly matches what you think of when you imagine a super lightweight, hydrating, invisible sunscreen experience. It just ticks all the boxes. I use it all over my ears, my neck, my back, my arms, hands, and I bring it with me everywhere. It's not going to leave me greasy, super shiny with a white cast, nothing. One of the reasons I love repurchasing it so much is that it's a really good price point. But above all, I'm absolutely obsessed with how lightweight this is on the skin. I think that's most important for me, especially as someone who has more oily to combination skin. I hate it when sunscreens make you look super greasy and shiny, and this one has never once done that. I will always use this one, and I feel like I will always have it in my collection or in my travel bag wherever I go. If you're wanting a perfect starter Korean sunscreen, I could not recommend this one more."

"This is the Centella Hya-Cica Water-Fit Sun Serum, hands down one of the best K-Beauty sunscreens I've ever tried. This has been a top seller for years and it's been on my favorites list. It's PA+++ so it did protect me from the UVA rays that come through the windows."
Approved
"This one is a really great soothing anti-inflammatory and hydrating sunscreen. It's also really affordable, only $10 to $12 on various websites that help you bring Korean sunscreens over to the US, and it comes in 1.69 fl oz which is pretty much the standard size for all of the sunscreens."

"This one's got really nice lotion texture, it's very easy to apply liberally. Some sunscreens are super thick and make it very tricky to apply liberally, but this one's got a perfect lotion texture and feels really nice on the skin. I do see a little bit of white cast which is more noticeable on my hand than when I put it on my face. It sets to a radiant finish, very shiny, very glowy, and just a little bit on the tacky side. Some people will love it and some people might not appreciate the radiant finish because it's definitely a shiny finish. I recommend applying this at the very end of your skincare routine but before makeup and foundation. If you don't apply makeup, you'll probably want to apply powder to help with the shininess. I didn't have any pilling issues with this at all."
Approved
"The Skin1004 Madagascar Centella Hyalu-Cica Water-Fit Sun Serum SPF 50+ PA++++. This is watery, so lightweight that it's perfect for layering, layering, layering. In the summer, if you don't want to use a moisturizer, if you are particularly oily, but you still want that hydration that you'd usually get from a moisturizer, then of course you get the added soothing benefits of the Centella in a sunscreen that you can layer up and layer up and layer up."
