Product Information

Abib (the K-beauty brand) based its ideology on “the first month”, to thrive and aim for pure and simplistic skincare. Their mission is to keep your skin cycle at its prime, natural complexion without the fuss and illusion of current trends. This sunscreen easily won its holy grail stamp of approval from yours truly. The texture, the hydration level, everything about this sunscreen is absolutely perfect. I would love to see this sunscreen get tested by a third-party lab so we get reassurance, but with the number of filters, I’m quite confident the SPF levels are as indicated. Overall I give this two thumbs up and the sunscreen you have to get if you are choosing one from Abib. If you guys don’t know about the different sunscreen regulations in the world, the USA’s FDA-approved sunscreen filters are a decade behind and only has 8 approved UVB filters and 2 approved UVA filters. Compared to Europe which has 27 approved filters, the USA is so far behind, it’s not even funny. Of course, Asia also being one of the leading innovators in sunscreen formulations, they are bound to have better textures and more filters to choose from.

One of the biological activities of thecentellosides isto be able to stimulate GAGs(glycosaminoglycans - polysaccharides that are part of the liquidy stuff between our skin cells), and especially hyaluronic acid synthesis in our skin. This is probably one of the reasons why Centella Asiatica Extract has nice skin moisturizingproperties that was confirmed by a 25 people, four weeks study along with Centella's anti-inflammatory effects. Yes, drugstore sunscreens are not the most cosmetically elegant, but during the Summer, you need all the protection you can get. ppm of heartleaf extract from the Jiri mountain, the sun essences fortified with heartleaf smoothly absorbs onto the skin. Not only does it calm your skin, but also provides sun protection. Contains oil-control powder that makes your skin fresh and silky. NO need to work about cakey makeup!

Are you into sunscreen agents? We have shiny explanations(along with product lists) about others as well: Last year, I tried sunscreen sprays, but I didn’t feel I was getting enough protection, so I tossed them. After testing it out a few times, I realized that it has been overhyped as it is greasy and has a fragrance.Even before the flash photography, you can see a bit of a white cast in the photo on the right. You can clearly see where the sunscreen ends on my wrist but it doesn’t look as severe under natural light. I think it might be more pronounced under studio lights, but I would definitely avoid this sunscreen if you are going to get photographed. Under flash photography, the white cast isn’t absolutely screaming however if you are reapplying, I think that might be a problem. I’m so glad I’m gradually getting to the point where reapplying my sunscreen is a habit, just as applying it daily is.
