"It truly is incredible, so lightweight, so fast absorbing, one of the most impressive formulations I've used from an experience standpoint because it is truly one of the most invisible feeling sunscreens. It has propanediol, niacinamide, centella, ginkgo biloba extract, green tea, and other antioxidants, a mind blowing formula because it's so stacked, yet it still feels invisible like water on the skin. [...] I've probably purchased seven bottles at this point and have no intention of not repurchasing."

Every Product I’ve Emptied in 2026 (and What I’d Rebuy 👀)

"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."

"Skin1004 is part of that popular sunscreen trio, so high quality with a very advanced filter, and nothing about it sucks. It is a chemical sunscreen though, so if you have very sensitive eyes it can sting."

"This is my holy grail. Mineral sunscreen usually has a white cast, but with this one, if you do your skincare well underneath, it doesn't have that much of a white cast. It's lightweight with just a little scent, and it feels just like a moisturizer. It's amazing to wear before makeup too."

"This sunscreen is their number one product globally, it has an amazing texture, a lotion type that goes into your skin really well, and if you have dry, mature skin you'll like it even more because it's really moisturizing. Just be careful, it's a chemical sunscreen so it can sting your eyes a little."

"I finished a whole bottle of the Skin1004 sunscreen because it feels like nothing on the skin and it's great to wear before makeup, for all skin types. It doesn't leave too much white cast, even for guys. Between this and the d'Alba sunscreen, I'd pick Skin1004 for most people."

Don’t BUY viral Korean Sunscreens BEFORE Watching THIS💀 | Recommendations for All Skin Types

"This is getting really popular online and it was sold out at the store I went to. I like that it's a pump type, easy to use, and of the three I tried, I emptied this one first. It is a bit oily and moisturizing, and it doesn't have aroma oil or artificial fragrance, so even my husband, who doesn't like other sunscreens, is using this one. But it isn't strong against water and friction, so if you're in a tropical climate or it's summer, you have to reapply it many times."

I tried TIKTOK *VIRAL* Korean skincare… an honest review (Not sponsored)

"I love the packaging because it's a pump type, it's easier to squeeze and use standing up. But this is the lightest of the three and evaporates too quickly, it was my least favorite because it was too dry for my skin. It has no white cast and no scent, but I don't intend to repurchase it because I found a more moisturizing and cheaper product."

"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."

"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."

"This one feels much lighter to apply than Beauty of Joseon, and with my dry skin type I still prefer this because I don't like looking too glowy. It too is fragrance free, essential oil free, and non-irritating. In all truth though, I don't actually love the pump system on this, I feel like it slows me down ever so slightly and I would prefer it in a squeeze tube, but it's not enough for me to not love this sunscreen. It's a wonderful sunscreen and I fully understand why it is number one."

"The sunscreen I reach for the most is the Skin1004 Madagascar Centella Hyalu-Cica Water-Fit Sun Serum SPF 50. This is so, so good. It is neither too moisturizing and heavy nor is it light and drying on my skin. I find that some sunscreens are so creamy, they have such a richness to them that they make my skin feel really heavy or greasy, or they feel like they sit on top, and that's just not comfortable for every single day use. It makes you feel like you want to [...] wash your face all the time. I don't like that feeling. Some sunscreens use denatured alcohol to create a really light, sometimes gel type of texture, which I think is awesome, but my skin doesn't always play super well with denatured alcohol, so I tend to avoid it because of the dehydration issues. [...] I love that this sunscreen achieves a really nice skincare feeling type of sunscreen without being overly emollient or relying on denatured alcohol to get a light, quick drying kind of feel on the skin. I love how light, how breathable, how airy it feels. I love that I'm not always being reminded of the sunscreen sitting on top of my skin in the middle of the day. It just sinks in like a dream, it absorbs."
