If your skin feels easily irritated by the sun or you dislike the heavy feeling of traditional sunscreens, this sun stick is your perfect match. It's a hybrid (chemical + mineral) sunscreen that delivers powerful SPF 50+ PA++++ protection in a mess-free, portable format. Formulated with soothing Centella Asiatica (Cica) and hydrating Hyaluronic Acid, it calms the skin while defending it from UV rays. It applies without a white cast and leaves a comfortable, natural finish that isn't heavy or sticky, making it ideal for the Mauritian climate and for reapplication on the go.

• Product Type: Sun Stick
• Key Benefits: High SPF protection, soothes irritation, hydrates without greasiness.
• Finish: Natural, non-sticky
• Ideal For: All skin types, especially sensitive, combination, and those needing convenient reapplication.

1. Cleanser: Start with a clean face.
2. Moisturiser (Optional): Apply a light moisturiser if your skin is dry. Oily types may find the sun stick hydrating enough on its own.
3. MIXSOON CICA HYAL SUNSTICK (AM): As the final step of your morning routine, glide the stick liberally over your face, neck, and any exposed skin. Reapply every 2-3 hours during sun exposure.

Note: Already own a sunscreen? Finish that first to avoid waste (substitute, don’t stack).

Sunscreen is the most critical step in your morning routine to protect your skin and the results of your other products.

• Minimalist (3 steps): 1) Cleanser → 2) Hydrating Serum/Light Moisturiser → 3) MIXSOON CICA HYAL SUNSTICK.
• Optional: If you have very oily skin, you might be able to skip moisturiser and go straight from a hydrating toner or serum to the sun stick.
• Wait times: Allow your moisturiser or serum to absorb for 1-2 minutes before applying the sun stick to ensure a smooth application and prevent pilling.

Initial Application (AM):

• Amount: To achieve the full SPF rating, you need to apply a generous amount. Go over each area of your face with 3 to 4 passes of the stick. Don't forget your ears, neck, and the back of your neck.
• Method: Twist the base to reveal about 1cm of the product. Glide it directly onto the skin. Gently pat with your fingertips to ensure even coverage if needed, especially around the nose and eyes.
• Frequency: Apply every morning as the last step of your skincare routine, 15 minutes before sun exposure.

Reapplication:

• Frequency: Reapply at least every 2-3 hours, or more frequently after swimming, sweating, or towel drying.
• Over Makeup: The stick format is excellent for reapplication over makeup. Gently glide the stick over the skin without pressing too hard to avoid smudging your makeup. Pat lightly to blend.

Watchouts: A common mistake with sun sticks is under-application. A single quick swipe is not enough. Be thorough and apply multiple layers to ensure you are properly protected.

Safety: Avoid direct contact with eyes. For external use only. Discontinue use if irritation occurs.

This sun stick is a daily essential, not an alternating active.

• Daily (AM): Apply the MIXSOON CICA HYAL SUNSTICK every single morning, without fail, as the final step of your skincare routine.
• Reapplication: Reapply throughout the day as needed, especially during peak sun hours (10 am - 4 pm) in Mauritius.

Mauritius Note: With the high UV index year-round in Mauritius, daily and consistent sunscreen application is the most important step for preventing pigmentation and premature aging.

• Immediate: Skin is protected from UV rays with a comfortable, non-sticky finish. You may notice an immediate soothing sensation and a subtle, hydrated glow without a white cast.
• 2-4 Weeks: With daily use, skin may appear calmer and less prone to sun-induced redness, thanks to the Centella Asiatica extract. Skin feels consistently more hydrated due to the hyaluronic acid.
• 4-8+ Weeks: The long-term benefit is prevention. Consistent use protects the skin barrier, prevents the formation of new sun spots and fine lines, and helps maintain a more even skin tone.

• Why use a lab-tested sunscreen, not DIY mixes or natural oils? Natural oils like coconut oil offer an SPF of less than 5, which is insufficient protection. Lab-tested sunscreens like this one are formulated to provide a specific, reliable SPF and PA rating, ensuring your skin is properly shielded from harmful UVA and UVB rays that cause aging and burning.
• Why apply multiple passes, not just one quick swipe? A single swipe of a sun stick does not deposit enough product to achieve the labeled SPF value. Experts recommend at least four back-and-forth passes over each area to ensure adequate coverage and protection.

As the final step in your morning routine, this sun stick is compatible with virtually all skincare ingredients.

• Works Well With: Vitamin C, Niacinamide, Retinoids (used at night), AHAs/BHAs (used at night), Hyaluronic Acid, Peptides. It is designed to be applied over your other skincare products.
• Use Carefully: To avoid pilling (the product balling up), ensure that your underlying layers of serum and moisturiser have fully absorbed (wait 1-2 minutes) before applying the sun stick. Applying to slightly damp skin from a hydrating mist can also help it glide smoothly.
• Avoid: Do not mix the sun stick directly with your moisturiser or foundation, as this can dilute the SPF and compromise its protective capabilities. Apply it as a separate, final layer.

• Oily/Combination Skin: Excellent. The finish is not greasy or heavy. Many users with oily skin find it comfortable and that it helps control shine without being overly matte.
• Dry Skin: Very good. The hyaluronic acid provides hydration, and the balmy texture glides on without dragging. For very dry skin, apply over a good moisturiser to ensure all-day comfort.
• Sensitive Skin: Excellent. The formula is specifically designed to be soothing, with Centella Asiatica (Cica) to calm redness and irritation. It has passed low-irritation tests.
• Acne-Prone Skin: Good. Its non-comedogenic and soothing properties make it a suitable choice. The Cica can help calm inflammation from breakouts.

• Sun Protection: Provides robust, broad-spectrum SPF 50+ PA++++ defense against both aging (UVA) and burning (UVB) rays.
• Soothing & Calming: Centella Asiatica extract helps to soothe skin irritated by sun exposure and reduce redness.
• Hydration: Features three types of Hyaluronic Acid to deliver moisture and prevent the skin from feeling dry in the sun.
• Convenience: The stick format offers hygienic, hands-free application and is perfect for easy reapplication throughout the day, even over makeup.

Who should use this: Ideal for all skin types, including those with sensitive, reactive, or acne-prone skin looking for convenient and soothing sun protection.

Who should use with caution: While formulated for sensitive skin, it's always best practice to patch test any new product, especially if you have a history of reactions to sunscreens or specific ingredients.

Patch Test Protocol:

1. Apply a small amount of the product by gliding the stick on a discreet area of skin, like behind your ear or on your inner jawline.
2. Wait 24 hours to observe for any signs of irritation, such as redness, itching, or burning.
3. If no reaction occurs, the product is likely safe for you to use on your face.
4. If irritation develops, discontinue use and wash the area with a gentle cleanser.

• Texture: A solid, smooth balm that glides easily over the skin without tugging or feeling waxy.
• Finish: Dries down to a natural, slightly matte finish. It is not greasy, oily, or overly dewy.
• Scent: Unscented.
• Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Compatibility: The formula contains Dibutyl Adipate and Polyglyceryl-4 Diisostearate/Polyhydroxystearate/Sebacate, which can be potential triggers for fungal acne. Individual responses may vary, and a patch test is recommended if you are prone to fungal acne.

• Issue: Product feels like it's dragging or tugging on the skin.

  Solution: Apply to well-moisturised skin. If your skin is very dry, the stick may not glide as easily. Apply over a light layer of moisturiser or a hydrating mist. Also, ensure you twist up enough product (about 1cm) so the plastic casing isn't dragging.

• Issue: Product is pilling or balling up when applied over other skincare.

  Solution: Wait 1-2 minutes for your serums and moisturiser to fully absorb before applying the sun stick. Pilling is often caused by applying subsequent layers too quickly.

• Issue: I'm not sure if I'm applying enough.

  Solution: Be generous. Go over each section of your face, neck, and ears 3-4 times in a back-and-forth motion to ensure you deposit a sufficient layer for full protection.

This sun stick is exceptionally well-suited for the Mauritian climate.

At Adilsons, we are dedicated to bringing you the best of authentic Korean beauty.

We guarantee that every product we sell is 100% genuine, sourced directly from the brands or their authorized channels in Korea. Your trust and skin health are our highest priorities.

1. Can I use a sun stick as my only sunscreen?
While you can, many dermatologists recommend using a traditional lotion or cream for your first application in the morning to ensure full, even coverage. Sun sticks are considered excellent for reapplication throughout the day due to their convenience.

2. How do I clean my sun stick?
After use, you can gently wipe the surface of the stick with a clean, dry tissue to remove any residue before replacing the cap. This helps keep it hygienic.

3. Will this sun stick melt in the heat in Mauritius?
It's a solid balm and is designed to be stable. However, like any balm product, it's best to avoid leaving it in direct, intense sunlight or a hot car for prolonged periods to maintain its texture and efficacy.

4. Is it suitable for children?
The brand markets it as "easy family sun care" and it has passed low-irritation tests. The gentle, fragrance-free formula with mineral filters makes it a potentially good option for older children. However, for babies and very young children, it is always best to consult with a pediatrician and use products specifically designed for their delicate skin.
