Ever since I purchased this additional cute Fromrier EGF Cica Water Solar Ampoule SPF 50+ PA++++ in Could 2025, I’ve by no means been the identical. Too dramatic? Do not care. That is hands-down my. Favourite. Sunscreen. EVER. There’s nothing like this weightless SPF serum in my huge assortment of Korean sunscreens (FDA-approved or in any other case). There’s nearly zero rubbing required, as you’ll be able to see in my demo clip. In brief, there’s your typical, quick-absorbing chemical sunscreen…after which there’s this disappearing act of a chemical sunscreen.
It leaves my pores and skin wanting so recent and dewy—really as if I am radiating from inside. And fortunately, the star substances are proper there within the title: EGF (a vegan epidermal progress issue, to be precise, which on this case is an artificial peptide referred to as SH-Oligopeptide-1) and Centella asiatica (usually shortened to cica), an all-time skin-soothing hero.
I have never tried many Korean mineral sunscreens (but!), so I am tapping Sarah Kinonen, our magnificence director, for an help along with her high decide, Dr. G’s Inexperienced Gentle Up Solar+ SPF 50+. “I put on this sunscreen day by day—within the morning after my moisturizer, because the final step in my skin-care routine,” she says. Nonetheless, she caveats that, regardless of extra elegant mineral UV filters (we might presume), it would not mix seamlessly into all pores and skin tones. (Korean magnificence requirements = pale pores and skin, in any case.) “It even takes me a few seconds to mix out the forged. However as soon as it is rubbed in, it seems to be and feels nice—and makes for a pill-free base earlier than make-up,” she says, including that she thought this was a chemical sunscreen all alongside. Fairly spectacular, no?
Want extra convincing? It is also derm-approved. “Dr. G’s Inexperienced Gentle Up Protection Mineral Sunscreen controls shine with out over-drying—since overly dry pores and skin will simply produce extra oil,” says Hee Jin Kim, MD, a board-certified medical physician based mostly in Fort Lee, New Jersey.
