What are the sunscreen ingredients?
| Active ingredient | Amount |
|---|---|
| Avobenzone | 2.7% |
| Homosalate | 13.6% |
| Octisalate | 4.5% |
| Octocrylene | 9% |
Avobenzone is also called butyl methoxydibenzoylmethane, and octisalate is also called ethylhexyl salicylate. Those are alternative names, not extra filters. The name says serum, but the product is broad spectrum SPF50 sunscreen, so the serum shelf has acquired a second job.12

What else is in the formula?
The three hyaluronic acid forms are hydrolyzed sodium hyaluronate, sodium hyaluronate and hyaluronic acid. The formula also includes panthenol, glycerin, centella, rice, oat and soybean extracts. Skin1004 describes a light, watery texture with a fresh, non greasy finish and positions the sunscreen for dry, normal and combination skin.123
If you are checking the Daily Moisture Routine Duo, read the Sun Serum UV list separately from the Moisture Cream list. Niacinamide and hydrolyzed collagen appear in the cream's list, not the sunscreen's. Buying them together does not merge their ingredient lists, despite the convenience of one checkout.2
Does Skin1004 Hyalu Cica Water Fit Sun Serum contain fragrance?
No fragrance or parfum is listed in this Sun Serum UV formula. Botanical extracts are present, including centella, green tea, rice, oat and soybean. If you are avoiding a particular ingredient, check its name against your own package's current list.13
How to apply it
- 1Finish your basic skincare first. Skin1004 places the sunscreen after the moisturizer in its duo routine.
- 2Apply liberally and evenly to exposed areas, including the face and neck, 15 minutes before sun exposure.
- 3Reapply at least every two hours.
Do not apply to damaged or broken skin. Keep it out of your eyes and rinse with water if it gets in. Stop using it and ask a doctor if a rash occurs. Ask a doctor before using it on children under six months.3
