Innisfree Daily UV Defense Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 50ml

Mineral sunscreens use natural minerals like Nano Zinc Oxide (as in this product) and Titanium Dioxide to create a physical barrier on the skin's surface. This barrier reflects and scatters UV rays away from the skin, rather than absorbing them like chemical sunscreens.

Yes, its mineral-based formula with soothing Cica and hydrating hyaluronic acid is generally well-tolerated and suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin.

For optimal protection, reapply the sunscreen at least every two hours, or more frequently if you are swimming, sweating, or towel drying.

Absolutely! The lightweight, non-oily, and shine-free finish makes it an excellent base for makeup. Allow it to fully absorb for a few minutes before applying foundation or other cosmetics.

Cica, or Centella Asiatica, is a plant extract known for its powerful soothing and healing properties. In skincare, it helps calm irritation, reduce redness, and support the skin's natural barrier, contributing to a more even and healthy-looking complexion.

While formulated to be soothing, individual sensitivities vary. Discontinue use immediately if irritation occurs and consult a dermatologist if symptoms persist.

This sunscreen provides high protection, but no sunscreen offers 100% blockage. Ensure you applied a generous amount, reapplied frequently (every two hours, or after sweating/swimming), and avoided prolonged sun exposure, especially during peak hours. Remember, sunscreen is one part of a comprehensive sun protection strategy.

Ensure your skin is clean and any previous skincare products have fully absorbed before applying. Try applying a slightly thinner layer and massage it in thoroughly. Its non-sticky formula should absorb quickly.

As a mineral sunscreen, a slight initial cast can occur. Ensure you are massaging it in completely and allowing a few minutes for it to settle and blend into your skin. Applying in smaller sections might also help.
