Apply & Spread Evenly
Gently dot the product across your face, neck, and ears. Spread evenly using patting or sweeping motions. Do not rub aggressively β let the formula glide and absorb naturally.

β Frequently Asked Questions
Use with caution. This sunscreen uses chemical (organic) UV filters including Ethylhexyl Triazone (Uvinul T 150), Terephthalylidene Dicamphor Sulfonic Acid (Mexoryl SX), Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate (Uvinul A Plus), and Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine (Tinosorb S). While it does not contain retinoids, salicylic acid, or hydroquinone, some healthcare providers recommend mineral-only sunscreens during pregnancy as a precaution. Always consult your OB-GYN or dermatologist before use.
No, this product is not fungal acne safe. It contains several ingredients that can feed Malassezia yeast, including Stearic Acid, Glyceryl Stearate, Glyceryl Stearate Citrate, Palmitic Acid, Myristic Acid, and Polyglyceryl-3 Distearate. If you are prone to fungal acne, consider alternatives like the SKIN1004 Hyalu-Cica Sun Serum or look for sunscreens specifically labeled as fungal acne safe.
Yes! This sunscreen is an excellent companion for active ingredients. When using retinol, AHAs (glycolic acid, lactic acid), or BHAs (salicylic acid) in your routine, SPF 50+ protection is essential since these actives increase photosensitivity. Apply your actives in your evening routine and use this sunscreen as the last step of your morning routine. Vitamin C (L-Ascorbic Acid) can be used in the morning before this sunscreen for enhanced antioxidant protection.
This sunscreen is best suited for oily, combination, and normal skin types. Its lightweight, semi-matte formula absorbs quickly and controls shine throughout the day. Sensitive skin users also benefit from the Centella Asiatica soothing complex. For very dry skin, layer it over a rich moisturizer. It is dermatologically tested, hypoallergenic, and suitable for all skin types with the noted exceptions.
UV protection is immediate (allow 15β20 minutes for full activation). The soothing effects from Centella Asiatica can be felt from the first application. For visible improvements in skin tone evenness and brightness from niacinamide, expect 4β6 weeks of consistent daily use. Long-term photoprotection benefits (preventing wrinkles, dark spots, and photoaging) accumulate over months of regular use.
Apply as the very last step of your morning skincare routine, after moisturizer and before makeup. The order is: Cleanser, Toner, Serum/Essence, Moisturizer, then this Sunscreen. If you have oily skin, the brand recommends skipping the moisturizer step since this formula provides essence-level hydration and nourishment on its own.
This sunscreen has a comedogenic rating of approximately 2 out of 5 (low-moderate risk). While it contains some potentially comedogenic ingredients like Cetearyl Alcohol and fatty acids (Palmitic Acid, Stearic Acid), the overall lightweight formula and quick absorption minimize pore-clogging risk. Most users with acne-prone skin report no breakouts. However, individual skin reactions can vary, so patch testing is always recommended.
The Period After Opening (PAO) is 12 months. After opening, use within one year for optimal protection and efficacy. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme heat. The 50ml tube, with proper daily application (about 1/4 teaspoon for the face), will last approximately 25β30 days.
Verdict: The Dr. Ceuracle Cica Regen Vegan Sun SPF 50+ PA++++ is an excellent choice for those seeking a lightweight, soothing daily sunscreen with advanced UV protection. The four-filter chemical system (including Tinosorb S and Mexoryl SX) provides robust broad-spectrum coverage, while the patented Centella Asiatica Complex delivers real skin benefits beyond just sun protection. Its zero white cast, semi-matte finish, and compatibility with makeup make it a reliable everyday companion. The main drawbacks are the polarizing rosemary scent, the alcohol content that may concern very dry skin users, and the fact that it is not fungal acne safe. At its price point, it sits above budget K-beauty sunscreens, but the elegant formulation and soothing properties justify the premium for those with sensitive or irritated skin.

Understanding Silicones
If you've ever used a skincare, makeup or beauty product that's made your skin look and feel smoother tempoarily - it's likely contained Silicone. They are a popular class of ingredients found in cosmetics due to their smooth, soft, easy-to-spread and smooth properties that help creates an artificial layer/barrier on top of skin or hair (commonly found in conditioners).
For the same reasons they are popularly used, they are also commonly avoided. Anecdotally, many individuals have reported that Silicones cause/excerbate breakouts, irritation, cause a feeling of skin being unable to breathe, cause clumping of cosmetic products and find it difficult to wash off. As a result, those who find them problematic are avoiding them and increasingly, cosmetic companies are avoiding them as well.
If you have had bad experiences with Silicones in the past, or suspect they are problematic then look out for the tick on the Silicone-free label.
Disclaimer
The Silicone-free label only includes the most common Silicone ingredients that have indentified been reported by individuals that could potentially cause issues.
These include: Amodimethicone, Behenoxy Dimethicone, Bis-Aminopropyl Dimethicone, Cetearyl Methicone, Cetyl Dimethicone, Cyclomethicone, Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethicone, Dimethicone Copolyol, Dimethiconol, Methicone, Phenyl Trimethicone, Phenyl Trimethicone, Stearoxy Dimethicone, Stearyl Dimethicone, Trimethylsilylamodimethicone.

EU Allergen-Free
EU Allergen-Free
Understanding the Identified Contact Allergens
The EU's Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS) has identified and established 26 cosmetic ingredients that are likely contact allergens (potential to cause skin allergies) as demonstrated in clinical or epidemiological studies. The EU's SCCS have recommend cosmetic companies to disclose them on the labels if used and in cases where the concentration exceeds 0.001% in leave-on products and 0.01% in rinse-off products, then they must be labelled.
Look out for the tick on the EU-Allergen free label to know your cosmetic is free from any of the 26 identified cosmetic ingredients.
For more information regarding the EU's Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety, please visit their official website.
Disclaimer
The EU Allergen Free label is for the 26 ingredients identified by the EU SCCS and products will be only flagged if a suspected ingredient is on it's ingredient list. It is possible for cosmetics to contain one of the suspect ingredients without it appearing on the ingredient list due to it not reaching the concentration threshold to disclose it and cosmetic manufacturers choice to not disclose it.
Also note, the EU Allergen Free label is not personalized for your own allergies you may have and it does not constitute as medical advice. For your specific case, always consult your medical professiona such as dermatologist, physician, pharmacist, or health care provider - please read our medical disclaimer for more information.
Fungal Acne (Molassezia) Safe
Fungal Acne (Molassezia) Safe
Understanding Fungal Acne (Pityrosporum Folliculitis/Malassezia Folliculitis)
Pityrosporum Folliculitis/Malassezia folliculitis or simply known as Fungal Acne is a persistent acne-like condition that commonly responds poorly to traditional acne-treating methods. Unlike most cases of Acne where bacteria is the culprit, Fungi is the culprit of Fungal Acne (Hence the name!). There are certain classes & groups of ingredients that have been shown to promote and feed the growth of the Fungal Acne, Fungi such as fatty acids, oils, esters, polysorbates and fermented ingredients.
For more information regarding Fungal Acne, please visit Simple Skincare Science (f.c) - #3 of our Recommend Skincare Resources for an amazing comprehensive guide!
Please Read: How to use the Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Label
At SkinCarisma, we've done our best to identify as many ingredients as possible but note the fungal-free label may not be 100% accurate due to the complexconditions and combination of ingredients that malezzeria can thrive on.
Additionally, products that may contain ingredients that have shown to feed Malassezia may not neccessarily exacerbate the condition due to concentration of ingredient used in the product, this information is simply not available on the products.
As a result, please note this is only an experimental label that can be best used to possible identify problematic products you have used in the past. It is in no way a perfect identifier nor a predictor in whether or not it will exacerbate or cause fungal acne. It will continue to be worked on as more information and research comes to light.
If you find any ingredients you believe should be included, please email us at snails@skincarisma.com.
Disclaimer
Due to the lack of substantial research into this area it is very likely there are other ingredients and class/groups of ingredients that could feed Fungal Acne which have not been indentified.
The Fungal-Safe label does not constitute as medical advice. For your specific case, always consult your medical professiona such as dermatologist, physician, pharmacist, or health care provider - please read our medical disclaimer for more information.
What are Notable Effects & Ingredients?
Ever used a product that promised a certain effect but provided no results? It might not have contained any notable ingredients that could have been responsible for that promised effect. It doesn't matter what the marketing or packaging Β«promisesΒ» it can do, if it doesn't contain anything that can help - then the likelihood of it helping is low.
We help you identify key notable ingredients that have been shown to help with effects such as acne-fighting, brightening, UV-protection, wound healing & anti-aging to help you achieve your skincare goals smarter. Please note that different notable ingredients have varying levels of research behind them, some are extremely well proven yet some have mixed research in their efficacy.
Pro Tip Alert!
Just because a product doesn't contain any notable ingredients doesn't mean it's bad. And a product with notable ingredients (or even many) doesn't necessarily guarantee the efficacy of the product performing these effects either. There are other factors such as ingredient quality, concentration and formulation that will ultimately determine this.
Be smart and use this as just a starting point for you to make more informed and smarter choices and compare it with reviews to see if the product is right for you

What are Ingredients Related to Skin Type?
Why are some products great for some people and horrible for others? Well everyone has different skin types and different reactions to the same ingredients.
We've identified a range of ingredients that are commonly regarded as potentially good or bad for those with Dry, Oily/Acne-Prone or Sensitive skin.
Pro Tip Alert!
A product that contains good or bad ingredients for your skin type doesn't always flat out make the entire product good or bad for your skin. There are other factors such as ingredient quality, concentration and formulation that will ultimately determine your skins reaction.
One of the best ways to use this section is to troubleshoot products you've had bad experiences with in the past. Check if it contains any of the marked ingredients to point out suspect ingredients to avoid in the future!

What is the Ingredient Safety Breakdown?
Ingredient Safety Breakdown refers to the percentage % of ingredients in different risk categories as classified by EWG (Environment Working Group) if they are available. There are almost endless cosmetic ingredients and they are one of the few organisations globally that have assigned ratings to a lot of the more commonly used ingredients which is why we reference them.
Pro Tip Alert!
EWG is seen by many to be more on the alarmist side in their assignment of health ratings resulting in rating ingredients as riskier than they actually are. We recommend using this a reference point rather than a strict guide of ingredient safety and to always do further research if into ingredients that you may find suspect.
