[SCINIC] Enjoy Super Mild Sun Essence SPF 50+ PA++++ 50ml

Product Information

Weirdly, some retailers (YesStyle, for example) list this as a physical sunscreen, while it’s not. Filters Sunscreen Filter The strong UV protectant with moisturizing essence texture protects skin area vulnurable to UV rays and various stimuli. It also brightens skin tone and takes care of wrinkles. It doesn’t dry out or the skin and it’s not mattifying either. I can get away with using minimal steps before like a toner, essence and have my skin feel enough moisturized. Those with dry skin can use a face cream if the sunscreen is not enough. On the other hand, if your skin is oily and you live somewhere humid maybe a mattifying sunscreen would be a better choice so you don’t look shiny. Centella Asiatica also often shows up in products that try to treat cellulite or striae. Of course, it cannot make a miracle but it might have some effect via regulating microcirculation and normalizing the metabolism in the cells of connective tissues. See, this is why you don’t exaggerate and lie. As a sunscreen the SCINIC Super Mild Sun Essence does everything it should beautifully. But the brand also claims it provides a brightening effect and improves the appearance of wrinkles, which technically aren’t true. This sunscreen is great but it’s not a miracle cure for all your skin problems!

It's a new generation sunscreen agent that was specifically designed for high SPF and good UVA protectionand based on a 2007 study that compared 18 sunscreen agents available in the EU it really had the best SPF protection(they used the highest concentration allowed by EU regulations from each 18 sunscreens and Trinosorb S gave an SPF 20 all by itself).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).

Da version: this is the size that is claimed to be able to absorb into the skin and plump up wrinkles, so it is used mainly as an "anti-aging ingredient" Iscotrizinol or Uvasorb HEB protects again UVB and some UVA rays. It’s excellent in water-resistant formulas, only losing 10% of its protection abilities after 25 hours! below 50k, around 10k Da version: there is a Japanese version trade namedHyalo-Oligo that has only a 10k molecular weight and is claimed to penetrate the skin very well, have a unique touch and give deep and long-lasting moisturization. Based on the Evonik-research and the natural role of LMW-HA in the body working as a pro-inflammatory signal molecule, this ultra-lowmolecular weight version is a controversial ingredient. UV filters: Octisalate, Uvinul T 150, Tinosorb S, Avobenzone, Mexoryl XL, Mexoryl SX, MCE, Uvinul A Plus

REVIEWS

For this article, she worked closely with Beauty Lab Senior Chemist Sabina Wizemann, who has touched, researched, tested and evaluated thousands of products for almost a decade. She carried out various studies from sunscreens (including formulas for sensitive and oily skin and mineral types) and more. She also lends a hand when it comes to explaining skincare ingredients and verifies product claims. You’ll almost always find other beneficial ingredients asides from the sunscreen filters with Korean Sunscreens. This generally contributes to the cosmetic elegance of these products. It also gives you even more reason to buy into them. For instance, this sunscreen is formulated with; I’m not surprised at the excellent protection this chemical sunscreen offers, look at all these great next generation filters it features:

When the sunscreen scandal broke in 2020, everyone started scrambling for verified and accurate sunscreens that were true to their claims. Generally, in Korean Skincare, only a few select brands with sunscreens are popular on this side of the world. If it’s not Cosrx or Missha, it is Klairs or Purito. But the rise of false sunscreen claims by famous brands gave all the underrated sunscreen brands a chance to shine. This drove the moderately popular brands with verified sunscreens like Isntree, Round Lab, Dr G, Thank You Farmer and of course, Scinic into the spotlight. People will notice as long as your product is cosmetically elegant and the protection claims are valid. With that said, this AXIS-Y one is the only untinted mineral sunscreen I will wear. Its only issue is a minor white cast which does fade eventually on my NC20 skin tone. Otherwise it doesn't pill, feels comfortable on the skin, and leaves a nice satin finish. While my sunscreen-obsessed-self has an everyday and outdoors sunscreen, this isn’t necessary if you find a well formulated product, eg. this SCINIC sunscreen. Uvinul A Plus protects against UVA rays. It’s stable and studies show that only minimal amount gets absorbed into the skin.

I’m not surprised by the SCINIC results, as it does feel extremely light on the skin, but I was surprised to see that ROUND LAB, the moisturizing option, was comparable, while the Beauty of Joseon one is almost as oily as LRP! From left: La Roche-Posay, Beauty of Joseon, SCINIC, ROUND LAB, AXIS-Y Why I don’t recommend US sunscreens SPF 30 or higher: "Always look for a sun protection factor of at least SPF 30," says Dr. Yadav. The AAD also suggests SPF 30 for the best protection. For even more peace of mind, the GH Beauty Lab recommends looking for SPF 50. Tris-Biphenyl Triazine, aka Tinosorb A2B, the newest addition to the Tinosorb family that protects strongly in an in-between wavelength that most other filters miss A triple functional mild essence that protects skin from UV rays, provides brightening effects, and improves appearance of wrinkles. No. There is a tone up effect one I apply the sunscreen, but it looks like skin before it even gets to absorb completely.

The only non-Korean sunscreen on the list, but its multiple iterations have been tested both by dermatologists and skincare enthusiasts alike, passing with flying colors each time. I've used this for years now, and its unmatched protection makes this forever my #1 holy grail sunscreen.
