somehow some local brands decided to launch sunscreens almost at the same time. after somethinc bombarded the market with their suncreens, then avoskin and finally skintific. i wanted to try them all but i have to finish my japan sunscreen stash first. so once i'm almost finish with my stash, i started to buy local sunscreens one by one starting from skintific. i actually was surprised when i received it. i intended to buy one by one, but then once i realized that the size is quite small, i decided to stash them at once. let's start from the ceramide one.

this is the translated description from their official marketplace site: sunscreen with main ingredients 5X ceramide that can repair and restore skin barrier. equipped with the newest UV filter that has been patented by BASF germany (tinosorb S/M) that can protect skin from UVA and UVB and blue light, with SPF 50+ PA ++++ without irritating skin. it has lightweight texture that can be absorbed quickly, not oily and gives moist end looks. with added hyaluronic acid that can return and lock moisture on skin.

the packaging: it comes in light blue box that's sealed with plastic sealing. there's description on the box. the sunscreen itself comes in light blue plastic tube with plastic screw cap. the bottle is almost flat and short since it only comes in 25 ml which is not much for sunscreen. usually my japanese sunscreen comes in 50 ml or even more. it has spout to dispense the product. anyway, recently skintific released a set that comes with a mini size of this sunscreen, which is only 5 ml which you can buy separately or in a set so it might not be much, but it's okay for retouch or for long haul so when you arrive at your destination, you can apply new later of sunscreen.

the scent: it doesn't have any scent, or at least not noticeably.

the product: it's a white creamy type that's has a slight gel texture in it. it's quite viscous but it's easy to spread around. it doesn't leave white cast at all once it's spread around.

the result: this one is definitely a more moisturizing type of sunscreen. it works well in terms of protecting as i didn't get any sunburn even though i hike to the mountain and walked under the bright sunlight during my trip to japan. this layers well under makeup and over my other skincare products.

| after blending it, no white cast |
i have to agree that this is a moisturizing type sunscreen so i don't think it'll be suitable for hot humid weather and oily skin. if you have oily skin and want to try this one, then i suggest you skip the moisturizer or opt for a lighter moisturizer instead. as for me, i don't think i like this type of sunscreen. it's heavier than the one that i've used to use, so i'd probably won't repurchase.
