SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Hyalu-CICA Water-Fit Sun Serum is a hybrid sunscreen-serum that blends centella asiatica (cica) with hyaluronic acid in a lightweight, water-based formula. Unlike traditional balms, this delivers soothing cica benefits in a gel-serum texture optimized for daily sun protection and hydration. Key actives include madecassoside-rich centella, hyaluronic acid, and broad-spectrum SPF. Designed for sensitive, irritated, or post-procedure skin, it soothes redness while providing sun defense—a category cross-over between repair serum and protective daily-use product. Best for those seeking barrier support without occlusion; less suited to severe dry patches or eczema flare-ups requiring heavy occlusion. Comes as a 2-pack, making it value-friendly for routine use.
