Skin1004 Madagascar Centella Hyalu-Cica Water-Fit Sun Serum, 50ml

Skin1004's sun serum comes from the Madagascar Centella range the brand is built around, and its selling point is texture. It behaves more like a serum than a sunscreen, sinking in with no white cast and no heaviness, which is what makes daily sun protection realistic rather than a chore.

Centella, often labelled cica, is one of the gentlest ingredients in skincare, which is why this suits skin that reacts to conventional sunscreens.
