Product Information
Full details
The SKIN AQUA UV Essence is ideal for individuals looking for a multifunctional sunscreen that offers both broad-spectrum sun protection and a subtle color-correcting makeup base. Its standout benefit is the lavender-tinted formula, which neutralizes yellow undertones to brighten dull skin for a natural, healthy glow. While it performs exceptionally well as a daily primer, those with extremely sensitive or reactive skin should patch test first due to the cosmetic fragrance and tinting agents included in the formula.

FAQs
Is this sunscreen water-resistant?
This product is primarily designed for daily use and is not marketed as water-resistant or sweat-proof.
Can I use this on my body?
Yes, while primarily designed for the face, it can be applied to the body for brightening and UV protection.
Does it contain alcohol?
Most SKIN AQUA UV products contain some form of alcohol to help achieve the lightweight, quick-drying texture, which may be drying for some skin types.
How often should I reapply?
For optimal protection, reapply every two hours, especially if you are exposed to direct sunlight.
Is it suitable for oily skin?
Yes, its lightweight, essence-like texture is generally well-tolerated by oily and combination skin types.
Will the lavender tint change my foundation color?
The tint is subtle and meant to brighten; it should not drastically alter the shade of your foundation, but rather neutralize yellow tones.
Troubleshooting
Product pills under foundation.
Ensure your preceding moisturizer or serum has fully absorbed before applying the sunscreen, or try applying the sunscreen by patting it into the skin rather than rubbing.
White cast on skin.
The lavender tint provides a brightening effect; if it appears too pale, try applying a thinner layer or blending the product further down the neck to balance the tone.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure optimal performance, apply the product liberally to the face and neck as the last step in your skincare regimen before sun exposure. It is fully compatible with most standard water-based and silicone-based foundations.
Regarding care, store the tube in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the formula. Because it acts as a makeup base, it is recommended to use a dedicated oil-based cleanser or micellar water at the end of the day to effectively remove both the sunscreen and any makeup layered on top, ensuring the pores remain clear.
