it is likely to be good for fighting acne, anti aging, brightening skin, sensitive skin and reducing pores

kDa version: apart from moisturizing, this sizemight also help the skin to repair itself by increasing its self-defense. It is also claimed to boost the wound healing process and is especially helpful for sensitive skin types (acne, rosacea, inflammation-related skin diseases). It gives nice broad-spectrum coverage (280-400 nm, meaning UVB as well as UVA protecion) with peak protection at305 nm and 360 nm and it is highly photostable. It can also help to stabilizeother less stable sunscreens, like Octinoxateand is generally happy to work together with other UV-filters.They offer much stronger UVA protection, which is critical for preventing not only skin cancer, but fine lines, dark spots, and collagen breakdown – i.e. photoaging. All we have in the US is Avobenzone (notoriously unstable) and Zinc Oxide (hello 👻). Powered by Soothing Cooler Complex (containing aloe vera, yam root, kelp, ulmus davidiana root and viola flower) to cool and calm skin A natural corn sugar derived glycol. It can be used to improve skin moisturization, as a solvent, to boost preservative efficacy or to influence the sensory properties of the end formula. My favorite one to use in the winter time because it feels like a soft cozy sweater for my dry skin. The lotion texture is similar to the Beauty of Joseon (and they happen to use the same filters too!), but unlike the former, ROUND LAB's will keep your skin moisturized all day long.

The active parts are called polyphenols, or more precisely catechins (EGCG being the most abundant and most active catechin) Applying this sunscreen will not make your skin look brighter, but it will prevent dullness that’s associated with UV damage. Nor will this sunscreen make your wrinkles look less noticeable, but it will delay new fine lines from forming (again due to UV damage).

An extremely common multitasker ingredient that gives your skin a nice soft feel (emollient) and gives body to creams and lotions. It also helps to stabilize oil-water mixes (emulsions), though it does not function as an emulsifier in itself. Its typical use level in most cream type formulas is 2-3%. For a first world country, we sure are behind in a lot of things, including the availability of next generation filters. Why do these filters matter? for 50ml on Stylevana, Olive Young (JENNY123 for 5% off), Style Korean, YesStyle (GEEKYPOSH for 5% off) One of the main biologically active components of the famousmedicinal plant, Centella Asiatica, aka Gotu Kola. It haswell established wound healing,skin-soothing and antioxidant activities. Tinosorb M is an interesting filter in that it reflects and absorbs both UVA and UVB rays. Like all other next-gen filters, it’s photostable and can even help stabilize other ingredients. It also doesn’t get absorbed into the skin, but it can leave a white cast similar to physical filters.

It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with nice and non-shiny(at least compared to most other sunscreens) sensorial properties.Regarding photostability,Diethylhexyl Butamido Triazone is super photostable. It looses10% of its SPF protection abilities only in 25 (!!) hours when 2 hours counts already as "photostable" in the world of chemical sunscreens. This SCINIC Enjoy Super Mild Sun Essence was listed as a 2021 skincare discovery favorite and now one of my all time favorite sunscreens, so it’s safe to say that yes, this product is pretty amazing.

If applying a moisturizer beforehand, wait for it to dry down before applying sunscreen for best results. Green tea is proven to be a great antioxidant, UV protectant, anti-inflammatory, anticarcinogenic and antimicrobial Yes, it’s been independently tested to have PFA 24.3, which is a PA++++. This is about as strong as you’ll get for Asian sunscreens, so if you want even stronger UVA protection I would recommend European formulas like the La Roche Posay Anthelios (make sure it’s the EU version!). But if you’re applying the correct amount and diligent about reapplying, I think the AXIS-Y one should suffice for everyday activities.

Recently science has taken an interest in Gotu Kola as well and it turns out it really has many active compounds with several benefits. Just for hard-core geeks, the main biologically active compounds are pentacyclic triterpenoid saponins called asiaticoside, madecassoside, asiatic and madecassic acid (also called centellosides).
