Verdict Should you buy it?

Fragrance-free chemical cream built on five modern organic filters (EHT, Mexoryl SX, SLX, DHHB, Tinosorb S) with a complete centella complex and layered hyaluronic acid. A strong modern all-around formulation.

Pros

  • Fragrance-free formulation
  • Full centella complex (madecassoside, asiaticoside, and more)
  • Three hyaluronic acid forms for layered hydration
  • Niacinamide, adenosine, and panthenol soothing trio
Cons
  • Dense chemical filter load can sting freshly cleansed skin
  • Polymer-heavy INCI may pill under heavy makeup
  • Glyceryl stearate citrate and cetearyl alcohol blend can feel rich

Who it's for: Shoppers wanting a fragrance-free, modern-filter Korean chemical cream with centella support; not for pure-mineral seekers.

03 At-a-glance facts
Protection
Filter type Mineral filters (zinc oxide, titanium dioxide) sit on skin and reflect UV. Chemical filters absorb UV. Hybrid blends both.
Chemical
Broad spectrum Protects across both UVA and UVB ranges. UVA causes aging and deeper damage; UVB causes burns.
Yes
Formulation & feel
Texture How the formula feels at application — milk, gel, cream, spray, stick, essence, lotion, powder, or cushion.
Cream
Finish How the formula looks on skin once dry: matte, natural, dewy, or glowy.
Natural
Tinted Adds sheer pigment (iron oxides) that masks the white cast common to mineral filters and gives a skin-tone finish.
No
Fragrance-free No synthetic perfume added. Not FDA-defined in the US; the EU requires 'Parfum' + the 26 named allergens on the label. 'Unscented' differs — may contain masking fragrance. Botanical oils still scent.
Yes
Alcohol-free No drying short-chain alcohols (alcohol denat., SD alcohol, ethanol). Does not refer to fatty alcohols like cetyl or stearyl alcohol, which are emollients.
Yes
