Ingredient breakdown
INGREDIENTSEthylhexyl Methoxycinnamate (Octinoxate) ~4.2-6.3%Proven UVB Filter
A widely used chemical UVB filter that absorbs ultraviolet rays in the 280-320 nm range to prevent sunburn and UV damage. Commonly used in Asian sunscreens for its lightweight feel.
- Protection: UVB range (280-320 nm) to prevent sunburn
- Texture Benefit: Oil-soluble, contributes to the lightweight gel feel
- Stability: Can degrade under UV exposure; stabilized here by Tinosorb S
Bisethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyltriazine (Tinosorb S) ~0.85-1.25%Proven Broad-Spectrum
One of the most advanced broad-spectrum UV filters available today. Covers the full UVA and UVB range (280-400 nm) with exceptional photostability. Also helps stabilize other UV filters like Avobenzone.
- Spectrum: Full broad-spectrum coverage with peak protection at 310 nm and 345 nm
- Photostability: Barely degrades under UV light, unlike older filters
- Safety: Does not show estrogenic activity; excellent safety profile
Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane (Avobenzone) ~1-3%Proven UVA Filter
The gold-standard UVA filter used worldwide. Provides strong protection against UVA rays (320-400 nm) that cause premature aging, dark spots, and deep skin damage.
- Protection: Peak absorption at 360 nm in the UVA range
- PA+++ Rating: Key contributor to the PA+++ UVA protection grade
- Stabilized: Paired with Tinosorb S to prevent photodegradation
Sodium Hyaluronate + Sodium Acetyl Hyaluronate <1%Proven Humectant
Dual hyaluronic acid system for layered hydration. Standard Sodium Hyaluronate attracts and binds water on the skin surface, while Super Hyaluronic Acid (acetylated form) has 2x the moisture retention capacity.
- Hydration: Hyaluronic acid holds up to 1,000x its weight in water
- Super HA: Acetylated form binds more strongly to skin for longer-lasting moisture
- Study: A 2016 study found glycerin (also in this formula) combined with HA enhances skin barrier function
Hydrolyzed Collagen <1%Promising
Chopped-up collagen peptides (average MW ~12,000 Da) that act as a humectant and occlusive. Too large to penetrate skin, they form a moisture-retaining film on the surface.
- Moisturizing: Acts as both humectant and occlusive on skin surface
- Study: A 2021 meta-analysis of 1,125 participants found hydrolyzed collagen improved skin elasticity and wrinkle appearance
Ethylhexyl Triazone (Uvinul T 150) ~0.35-0.80%Proven UVB Filter
A next-generation UVB filter offering the highest photostable UVB absorption among all currently available filters. Odorless and colorless, making it ideal for fragrance-free formulas.
- Protection: UVB range (280-320 nm) with peak at 314 nm
- Photostability: Highest photostable UVB absorption of all available filters
- Max Use: Allowed up to 5% worldwide (except US and Canada)

Where it fits in your routine
ROUTINEApply as the last step of your morning skincare routine, before makeup. The hydrating formula may replace your moisturizer for oily skin types. Reapply every 2 hours during prolonged sun exposure.
How to use
HOW TO USEComplete Your Skincare Routine
Apply your cleanser, toner, serum, and moisturizer first. Allow each layer to absorb before proceeding to sunscreen.
Dispense a Generous Amount
Squeeze approximately a nickel-sized amount (about 1/4 teaspoon for face) into your palm. Using too little reduces UV protection.
Apply Evenly to Skin
Dot the gel across your face (forehead, cheeks, nose, chin) and spread evenly. For even coverage, apply in two thin layers rather than one thick layer.
Extend to Neck & Body
Don't forget your neck, ears, and any exposed body areas. The 110g tube is generous enough for both face and body use.
Reapply Frequently
Reapply every 2 hours during extended outdoor exposure, or after toweling off. This formula is not water-resistant, so reapply after sweating or swimming.

Frequently asked questions
FAQUse with caution. This sunscreen contains Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate (Octinoxate), a chemical UV filter that has shown potential estrogenic activity in laboratory studies. While real-world risk at cosmetic concentrations is considered low, many dermatologists recommend switching to mineral (zinc oxide/titanium dioxide) sunscreens during pregnancy and breastfeeding as a precaution. Always consult your OB-GYN or dermatologist for personalized advice.
Yes. This formula is free from fatty acids in the C11-C24 range, problematic esters, polysorbates, and fermented ingredients that feed malassezia yeast. The Skin Aqua Moisture Gel line is recognized as fungal acne safe on Simple Skincare Science and SkinCarisma. The UV filter esters (like Octinoxate) are outside the problematic carbon chain range and are safe for malassezia-prone skin.
Absolutely. This sunscreen is compatible with all common actives including retinol, vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid), AHAs (glycolic, lactic acid), and BHAs (salicylic acid). In fact, wearing sunscreen is essential when using these actives as they increase photosensitivity. Apply your actives first (serum step), let them absorb fully, then apply this sunscreen as the final step. Avoid mixing actives directly into the sunscreen.
This sunscreen is best suited for oily, combination, normal, and acne-prone skin types. Its lightweight watery gel texture absorbs quickly without adding greasiness, making it ideal for those who dislike heavy sunscreens. Dry skin types can use it but may want to layer a richer moisturizer underneath. Those with very sensitive or eczema-prone skin should patch test first due to the alcohol content.
UV protection is immediate upon application. You'll feel the hydrating and comfortable texture right away. Within 1-2 weeks of daily use, skin should feel more consistently hydrated. Over 1-3 months of daily use with proper reapplication, you'll notice reduced new sun spots and more even skin tone. Long-term daily use (6+ months) is the single most effective strategy for preventing photoaging, fine lines, and hyperpigmentation.
Sunscreen is always the last step of your morning skincare routine, before makeup. The order is: Cleanser, Toner, Essence/Serum, Moisturizer, then Sunscreen. If you have oily skin, you may skip moisturizer and use this sunscreen alone as it contains four hydrating ingredients. Wait about 1 minute after application before applying makeup for best results.
No, this sunscreen has a comedogenic rating of 1 out of 5 (very low). It is free from heavy oils, waxes, silicones, and known pore-clogging ingredients. The lightweight watery gel base and absence of mineral oil make it very unlikely to cause breakouts. It is also fungal acne safe, meaning it won't feed the yeast that causes pityrosporum folliculitis. It can be easily removed with a regular face cleanser.
The Period After Opening (PAO) is 12 months. Once opened, use within one year for optimal UV protection and product stability. The formula contains preservatives (Phenoxyethanol, BHT, EDTA-2Na) that help maintain stability. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. If the texture, color, or smell changes, discontinue use even within the 12-month window.
Verdict: Skin Aqua UV Moisture Gel SPF 35 PA+++ is an outstanding daily sunscreen for those who prioritize comfort and wearability. Its water-like texture, zero white cast, and quadruple moisture complex make it one of the most pleasant sunscreens to wear every day — especially for oily and acne-prone skin types. The inclusion of advanced UV filters like Tinosorb S and Uvinul T 150 provides stable broad-spectrum protection, and the fungal acne safe formula is a major advantage. However, the SPF 35 rating, lack of water resistance, and relatively low UV filter concentrations mean it's best suited for everyday indoor/urban use rather than intense outdoor activities. If you need higher protection, consider the SPF 50+ version from the same line. For a comfortable, affordable, J-beauty daily sunscreen that doubles as a makeup base, this is a top-tier choice.

Understanding Simple Alcohols
Alcohol ingredients are widely used in cosmetics and come in different types. For the most part alcohols are not problematic at all. However one type of alcohols, simple alcohols can be quite drying to the skin because it evaporates very quickly. This can cause irritation which can also lead to other skin complications. These alcohols should never be used alone on your skin, but combined with other cosmetic ingredients, they are normally without issue. However, for some people with sensitive and easily irritable skin, avoiding products with these simple alcohols may be beneficial.

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.
Note, that this does not include all ingredients part of the Silicone class of ingredients.
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 «promises» 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

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.
