From the brand
What the brand says about this product. Our ingredient analysis follows below.
The brand recommends it for
- Dry skin
- Sensitive skin
- Dryness & dehydration
How to use
Take an appropriate amount in your hand and gently spread evenly over your face and body (a rough guideline for the appropriate amount: approximately 1.5 cm in diameter for the face, and adjust accordingly for the body). Apply small amounts in several doses. Using too little will result in insufficient sun protection. To maintain sun protection, reapply after wiping off sweat. To remove, wash thoroughly with your usual cleanser (face wash, makeup remover, etc. for the face, and body cleanser, etc.). The serum capsules containing UV-blocking ingredients may appear as small granules, but this does not affect the quality. Blend well before use.
