Press Sample (Affiliate Links)

Dr. Althea Aqua Glowing Sunscreen is the second sunscreen (the first is reviewed HERE) that I have used from Dr. Althea, a notable K-Beauty brand, and I really like it a lot. It is a very lightweight and non-sticky chemical sunscreen, with an SPF 50+, that is hydrating and sinks into the skin without leaving behind any sort of white filmy residue. It actually feels more like a serum than a sunscreen, and it offers excellent protection from the sun. Of course, one has to reapply it frequently to benefit from it, but it is so pleasant to use that it isn't an issue having to reapply it.

Additionally, this sunscreen is formulated with "bamboo water, sea grape extract and vegan seaweed-derived PDRN to hydrate skin and accelerate skin barrier repair. Also enriched with panthenol to soothe irritated skin." Suitable for all skin types including sensitive and dry skin. 

According to Dr. Althea,

Aqua glowing sunscreen, a light, non-sticky sunscreen that hydrates and leaves your skin with a healthy glow while keeping it protected from the sun.

It offers a lightweight cream texture that applies easily and deeply hydrates, making it perfect for dry, unbalanced skin that required enhanced skin barrier restoration and sun protection.

With Panthenol and Caulerpa Lentillifera Extract, it instantly rejuvenates and locks in hydration through a moisture barrier, making it an excellent choice for those with dry skin.
