[SET] SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Hyalu-Cica Water-Fit Sun Serum 50mL*2ea (2 Options)

Texture and finish

This sunscreen is often described as a hybrid between a serum and a lotion, offering a lightweight feel that absorbs quickly. It applies smoothly without heaviness, even with multiple layers. Many users found its texture made it feel more like a foundation-ready skincare step than a traditional sunscreen, creating a comfortable base for makeup.

What Korean reviewers say

While the [SET] SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Hyalu-Cica Water-Fit Sun Serum 50mL*2ea (2 Options) holds a 3.0/5 rating from a single Olive Young Global shopper, Korean blog sentiment presents a notably more favorable view. Reviewers frequently praised its seamless blending and strong performance under makeup, reporting no pilling, sliding, or breakdown of their foundation. It also garners positive feedback for its lack of white cast, making it suitable for various skin tones and even body use. Many with sensitive skin or eye irritation reported the formula was gentle, though a minority noted a slight stimulating sensation. Despite overall satisfaction with the product’s quality and feel, several reviewers expressed reservations about its value for money at $22.40, citing the availability of cheaper, similar alternatives. A practical concern was the loose lid on the pump dispenser, which some found could open easily and leak when transported in bags.

Bottom line

This hydrating, lotion-like sunscreen is best suited for individuals with dry-to-combination skin, those with sensitive eyes, and anyone prioritizing a non-mattifying finish that wears well under makeup. However, potential buyers should weigh its strong performance and gentle formula against the price point, as some Korean users found its cost to be a barrier to repurchase despite liking the product. Oily skin types or those in very warm climates might find it slightly sticky.
