Ingredients
Looking into the full list of ingredients for SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Air-Fit Suncream Plus, its active ingredients are Cica Extract 35.8%, Niacinamide, Propanediol. The sunscreen used are Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide. Other goodies are Green Tea, Hyaluronic Acid, Blue Chamomile and Damask Rose. The INCI list mostly contains plant extracts.

Compared to the old formulation, the new INCI list looks so much promising. The new formulation has an increase of CICA Extract and the main ingredients are still the same. The changes of ingredients are mostly on emollients so the new formulation is pretty much similar to the old one. 

Packaging
My first impression was... 'is this the full-sized product?' LOL... I was shocked by the size of the bottle as it fits just nicely on my small hand and short fingers. I was expecting a huge bottle but then I checked the size of it, SKIN1004's sunscreen is only 50ml. So it's indeed small packed in a cute sized packaging. However, I keep imagining it to come in a huge tub.

The sunscreen comes in a fully covered white plastic tube with a screw cap. It has a small snout which makes the application easy and less messy. The box packaging looks exclusive but the product itself doesn't seem to look that fancy to me. However, it's not a problem for me. Labels are in English and Korean.

Texture
It's a creamy skin-coloured cream that is almost similar to a lightweight foundation. Looking at the texture I knew it'll create a white cast and it did. Blending the sunscreen in does take some time and it also tones up the skin. After application, it creates a waterproof layer on the skin so it does not feel sticky at all. 

Scent-Wise
It has a strong scent of flowers which is no problem for me. The scent is pleasing.

Experience
I thought since it came in a small tub I'll probably have to use a small amount, but nope, it doesn't cover the whole face with a pea-size amount. You'll still need the 2 finger application. I did not experience any irritation or bad experience while and after the application of the sunscreen. SKIN1004 mentions that this sunscreen has no white cast but it does. Obvious too if you don't blend the sunscreen well. It takes time for it to fully absorb and since it tones up the skin as well, you'll have to make sure there are no patches. The tone up does look natural but it's pretty obvious so you'll have to apply it on the neck as well.

This Air-Fit Sunscreen doesn't glide on the skin easily so make sure you apply it by small patches on the face. It creates a dewy finish that isn't sticky nor drying either. This sunscreen indeed gives moisture to the skin and I love how soothing it feels.

Overall Thoughts
The SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Air-Fit Suncream Plus currently is a daily sunscreen for me. I usually don't like coloured sunscreen but this one wins with the hydration it provides. The white cast does bother me a bit but it's not that bad. I think what bothers me the most is the size of the tub, it's just too small for a sunscreen and with the selling price, it's considered pricey. Overall, it is a good sunscreen.

My Rate
Rate: 4/5
