☀️ Product Overview

Celimax’s Dual Barrier Watery Sun Cream is a physical (mineral) sunscreen that uses non-nano zinc oxide to offer broad-spectrum protection (SPF 50+ PA++++). It’s specially formulated for sensitive and dry skin, delivering hydration and barrier defense while leaving a lightweight, dewy finish.

🚿 Texture, Ingredients & Feel

• Texture: Creamy-moist and lightweight, absorbs quickly without greasy residue or chalkiness.

• Scent: Mild herbal/mineral scent that lingers slightly.

• Hydration: Contains a complex of 5 ceramide types, Aquatide peptide, and sodium hyaluronate to moisturize and support skin barrier integrity

🔬 Key Ingredients

• Non-Nano Zinc Oxide – mineral SPF protection without being absorbed into the skin.

• Ceramides NP, AP, AS, NS, EOP – essential lipids for barrier support and moisture retention.

• Aquatide™ – a patented peptide complex designed to promote hydration and barrier repair.

• Sodium Hyaluronate – low‑molecular hyaluronic acid to lock in extra moisture.

• Additional ingredients: Tocopherol, adenosine, Rosemary leaf oil, and hydrogenated lecithin. Full IL lists available on product sites.

👤 Best For Skin Types

• Dry, sensitive, or barrier‑compromised skin – hydrates and protects gently.

• Combination to oily skin – works well, though some report slight dryness over time.

• Might be too moisturizing or heavy for oily skin in high-humidity climates.

🗣️ Community Feedback

From Reddit users:

“The only sunscreen that actually is MATTE without pilling or having a nasty white cast… there is an initial white cast that fades after about 10 minutes.”

“I’m using the Celimax one right now and I LOVE it… once I apply the Celimax sunscreen after, it balances PERFECTLY.”

Also note

• Good oil control, especially on reapplication.

• Initial white cast generally fades, but may be noticeable on darker skin. Some users with dry skin found it non-hydrating on reapplication, and it could feel slightly drying over time.

• Mixed feedback on texture: it’s more creamy/thick than gel sunscreens, but absorbs fast for many.

User experiences from Hwahae:

• Accepted well by dry and sensitive types—hydrating initially, but could feel tight after a few hours. White cast mild but perceptible.
