Let’s dive into each sunscreen product to see which one suits your skin best.

SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Hyalu-Cica Water-Fit Sun Serum

Best for: Dehydrated, sensitive, oily, or combination skin

A fan-favorite lightweight sunscreen with a hydrating serum texture that glides smoothly onto the skin, leaving behind a fresh, dewy finish and absolutely no white cast. This ultra-breathable formula is perfect for those who dislike the heaviness of traditional sunscreens, offering a barely-there feel with powerful SPF50+ PA++++ protection. It’s especially suited for layering under makeup or pairing with lightweight skincare routines during warmer months.

Ideal for daily wear, the Water-Fit Sun Serum delivers intense hydration while calming sensitive or inflamed skin, making it a go-to for skin types prone to dehydration, redness, or mild irritation.

Key Features:

• Chemical UV filters: Lightweight, invisible protection that blends seamlessly into all skin tones
  
  
• Hyalu-Cica Complex: A signature blend of Hyaluronic Acid and Centella Asiatica for hydration and soothing
  
  
• Multi-benefit ingredients: Infused with Panthenol (soothes), Niacinamide (brightens), Madecassoside (calms inflammation), and Vitamin E (antioxidant support)
  
  
• Zero white cast & non-greasy: Perfect for oily and combo skin types who want hydration without shine

SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Air-Fit Suncream

Best for: Sensitive, normal, oily, and acne-prone skin

A gentle, non-comedogenic mineral sunscreen designed to soothe and protect even the most reactive skin types. This suncream uses Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide as its UV filters, offering broad-spectrum SPF50+ PA++++ protection without the risk of chemical irritation — making it a top choice for those with acne, redness, or compromised skin barriers.

The creamy texture spreads easily and absorbs well without leaving a heavy or greasy residue. While it’s a mineral formula, the white cast is minimal and settles into a soft, natural-looking matte finish that helps control shine throughout the day. It's also a fantastic base for makeup, keeping your complexion fresh and even.

Formulated with Centella Asiatica extract to calm inflammation, Niacinamide to brighten and balance sebum production, and Panthenol to strengthen the skin barrier, this sunscreen not only protects but also improves skin health over time. If you’re sensitive to chemical filters or frequently struggle with breakouts, this is a gentle yet effective alternative.

• 100% mineral UV filters: Zinc Oxide + Titanium Dioxide for physical sun protection

Designed for portability and ease of use, the Silky-Fit Sun Stick glides over the skin with a smooth, balm-like texture that instantly mattifies, blurs pores, and refreshes your skin without disturbing makeup.

Despite its compact size, this stick packs powerful sun protection with SPF50+ PA++++, relying on chemical UV filters that offer invisible, non-greasy coverage. The finish is silky and non-tacky, leaving your skin velvety and fresh even on humid days.

The formula includes SKIN1004’s signature Hyalu-Cica Complex, blending Hyaluronic Acid for hydration and Centella Asiatica for soothing. Silica adds a subtle blurring effect, making this sun stick ideal for mid-day touch-ups, oily zones, or anyone wanting to reduce shine while staying protected.

How to Choose the Right SKIN1004 Sunscreen

How to Build a Simple Skincare Routine with SKIN1004 Sunscreen (Beginner-Friendly)

If you're new to skincare, creating a routine can feel overwhelming — but it doesn’t have to be! Start with the basics: cleanse, treat, moisturize, and protect. Here’s how to build a simple and effective routine with SKIN1004 products and your choice of sunscreen.

Morning Routine

1. Cleanser (Gentle, Low-pH)
   Start with a gentle foaming or gel cleanser to remove overnight oil buildup. SKIN1004’s Centella-based cleansers are perfect for sensitive skin.
   
   

2. Toner (Optional but Helpful)
   A soothing toner with Centella or hyaluronic acid can prep your skin for better absorption. If you skip toner, move on to serum or moisturizer.
   
   

3. Moisturizer
   Choose a lightweight, non-comedogenic moisturizer to hydrate your skin. Look for ingredients like glycerin, ceramides, or beta-glucan.
   
   

4. Sunscreen (AM Must-Have!)
    Finish with one of the SKIN1004 sunscreens:
   

• Water-Fit Sun Serum for glowy hydration
  
  
• Air-Fit Suncream Plus for oil control and sensitive skin
  
  
• Silky-Fit Sun Stick for reapplication throughout the day
  
  
• Reapply Every 2–3 Hours
  If you're outside or under direct sunlight, reapply sunscreen. The Sun Stick makes this super easy — just swipe and go!
  
  

Night Routine

1. Cleanser (Double Cleanse if Wearing Makeup/SPF)
   Use an oil-based cleanser first if you’ve worn sunscreen or makeup, then follow with a gentle water-based cleanser.
   
   

2. Treatment (Optional)
   You can add a serum or ampoule here. Beginners might try niacinamide or Centella serums for soothing and brightening benefits.
   
   

3. Moisturizer
   Lock in hydration with a night cream or gel moisturizer. Hydration is essential, even for oily skin!
   
   

Beginner Tips:

• Don’t skip sunscreen — it’s the most important anti-aging and skin-protecting step.
  
  
• Introduce products slowly — give your skin time to adjust.
  
  
• Patch test new products to avoid irritation or breakouts.
  
  
• Be consistent — skincare takes time and daily effort!
