1004 Sunscreen

Centella-style facial sunscreen for daily wear on sensitive, breakout-prone, or redness-prone skin.

Introduction

Shoppers searching this term usually want a lightweight Korean-style facial sunscreen formulated around centella asiatica, worn daily under makeup rather than only at the beach.

  • Read the SPF and PA rating together, since PA plus signs describe protection from longer UVA wavelengths.
  • Check whether the filter system is chemical, mineral, or hybrid, because that drives white cast and finish.
  • Scan the full ingredient list for alcohol and fragrance if your skin reacts easily.

Check the listing for the seller, size, and batch details you expect, and compare finish notes before adding a bottle to your routine.

FAQs

It points to a Korean skincare line built around centella asiatica, often written as cica. Shoppers use the number as shorthand, so read each listing carefully to confirm the exact product and formula you want.

Centella formulas are usually lightweight and aimed at calming visible redness, which many people with congestion prefer. Patch test on your jawline first, because individual reactions to filters and emollients vary widely.

Dermatology guidance commonly cites about a quarter teaspoon for the face and a similar amount for the neck. Applying noticeably less reduces the protection you actually receive from the stated SPF.

Chemical and hybrid filters typically sink in clear, while zinc-heavy mineral formulas can leave a pale film on deeper skin tones. Look for swatch photos on varied tones in the listing images.

Compare packaging photos, listed volume, and ingredient text with the brand's own published details, and review the seller information shown on the listing. Ask the seller directly if the batch or expiration marking is unclear.
