Finding a sunscreen that protects without causing irritation or breakouts can be a challenge. This gentle, physical (mineral) sunscreen uses Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide to create a protective barrier against UV rays, making it ideal for sensitive, oily, and acne-prone skin types.

• Texture: A lightweight cream that blends with minimal white cast.
• Finish: Natural, satin finish without feeling greasy.
• Best For: Sensitive, acne-prone, and oily to combination skin.
• Core Benefit: Provides high-level, broad-spectrum sun protection while soothing the skin with ingredients like Mugwort.

1. Cleanser: Start with a clean face.
2. THIS PRODUCT (AM): Apply the two-finger amount to your face and neck as the final step of your morning routine.
3. Moisturiser (PM): In the evening, use your regular moisturiser after cleansing.

Mindful Tip: Already using a sunscreen you like? Finish it before opening a new one to reduce waste. This sunscreen is a substitute for your current one, not an addition.

Sunscreen is the most important step to protect your skin and the results of your other products, especially in Mauritius.

• Minimalist Routine (3 Steps): 1) Cleanser → 2) Moisturiser (optional, if your skin feels tight) → 3) THIS SUNSCREEN.
• Expanded Routine (4-5 Steps): 1) Cleanser → 2) Hydrating Toner → 3) Targeted Serum (e.g., Vitamin C) → 4) Lightweight Moisturiser → 5) THIS SUNSCREEN.

Wait Times: Allow moisturisers to absorb for 1-2 minutes before applying sunscreen to prevent pilling.

Do not use sunscreen at night. Your evening routine should focus on cleansing and repair.

• Minimalist Routine (3 Steps): 1) Double Cleanse (Oil Cleanser to melt sunscreen, followed by a Water-Based Cleanser) → 2) Serum (optional) → 3) Moisturiser.

Why Double Cleanse? Physical sunscreens are designed to sit on the skin and can be stubborn to remove. An oil cleanser is essential to break them down effectively, preventing clogged pores.

[Amount]

Use the "two-finger" rule: squeeze a line of sunscreen onto your index and middle fingers from base to tip. This is the approximate amount for your face and neck.

[Method]

• Apply as the very last step of your morning skincare routine, 15 minutes before sun exposure.
• Dot the sunscreen evenly across your face, then gently blend and pat it in. Do not rub aggressively, as this can cause pilling.
• To minimise white cast on deeper skin tones, apply in thin layers and pat until absorbed.

[Frequency]

• Apply once every morning, even on cloudy days or if you are indoors near windows.
• Reapply at least every 2-3 hours during prolonged sun exposure, or immediately after swimming, sweating heavily, or towel drying. A sun stick is a convenient option for reapplication.

• Daily: Use this sunscreen every single morning (Monday through Sunday) as the final step of your routine.
• Reapplication: If you are outdoors for a beach day on Saturday, remember to reapply every 2 hours. If you are in the office all week, one morning application is sufficient unless you sit directly by a window.

Consistency is the key to effective sun protection and preventing long-term sun damage.

• Immediate: Your skin is protected from UVA and UVB rays. The skin may appear slightly brighter or "toned-up" due to the mineral filters. Redness may be slightly calmed.
• 2-4 Weeks: With consistent daily use, you may notice that your skin feels less irritated and new sun-induced dark spots are less likely to form. If you have acne, you may notice that post-acne marks are less dark.
• 4-8+ Weeks: The preventative benefits become more apparent. Skin tone may appear more even, and the signs of photoaging (fine lines, sun spots) are actively being prevented. The full benefit of sunscreen is long-term, healthier skin over years of use.

[Why use this, not that?]

• Instead of thinking "the sun will dry out my pimples"... understand that UV radiation actually worsens acne in the long run. It can cause inflammation and lead to darker, more persistent post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH). A non-comedogenic sunscreen like this one protects acne-prone skin, allowing blemishes and marks to heal more evenly and preventing future damage.

• Works Well With:
  • Vitamin C Serums: Applying this sunscreen over a Vitamin C serum in the morning is highly recommended. Vitamin C provides antioxidant protection that boosts the effectiveness of your sunscreen.
  • Hydrating Layers: Works well over lightweight toners, essences, and gel-moisturisers. Having a hydrated base helps it blend more smoothly.
• Use Carefully With:
  • Heavy/Oily Moisturisers: Applying this over very rich, oily creams without sufficient wait time may lead to pilling (when the product balls up). Allow heavy creams to fully absorb before sunscreen application.

• Sensitive: Excellent. Physical filters (Zinc Oxide, Titanium Dioxide) are known to be much gentler and less likely to cause irritation than chemical filters.
• Acne-Prone: Excellent. This formula is non-comedogenic. Mineral filters are often preferred for breakout-prone skin as they are less likely to clog pores.
• Oily/Combination: Very Good. The formula is designed to be lightweight with a natural, non-greasy finish, making it suitable for managing shine in Mauritius's humidity.
• Dry: Good. While not intensely moisturising, it is not overly drying. Very dry skin types should layer a good moisturiser underneath to ensure comfort throughout the day.

• Sun Protection: Provides robust, broad-spectrum protection against both UVA (aging) and UVB (burning) rays.
• Skin Sensitivity & Redness: The gentle mineral formula and soothing ingredients like Mugwort help protect sensitive skin without causing irritation.
• Preventing Hyperpigmentation: Diligent use is crucial for preventing sun spots, melasma, and the darkening of post-acne marks (PIH), especially on melanin-rich skin.
• Acne-Prone Skin Protection: Offers safe and effective sun protection for skin that reacts negatively to many chemical sunscreens.

• UV Filters: Zinc Oxide, Titanium Dioxide (100% Physical/Mineral/Inorganic).
• Protection Standard: SPF 50+ PA++++. This indicates very high protection against UVB (SPF 50+) and extremely high protection against UVA (PA++++), tested according to South Korean regulations.
• Finish & White Cast: As a physical sunscreen, it works by forming a barrier on the skin. This formula is designed to be lightweight to minimize the white cast often associated with mineral filters. On deeper skin tones, a slight tone-up effect may be visible, which can be minimized by patting the product in rather than rubbing.
• Amount (The 2-Finger Rule): For your face and neck, you need about 1/4 teaspoon of sunscreen. An easy way to measure this is to squeeze two full lines of the product onto your index and middle fingers. Using less than this will significantly reduce the level of protection.
• Reapplication Rules: Sunscreen is not a one-and-done application. You must reapply it at least every 2-3 hours of continuous sun exposure. Reapply immediately after swimming, heavy sweating, or wiping your skin with a towel.

[Key Actives Explained]

• Zinc Oxide & Titanium Dioxide: Gentle mineral UV filters that sit on the skin's surface to reflect, scatter, and absorb harmful UV rays, providing broad-spectrum protection.
• Mugwort (Artemisia Capillaris Extract): A traditional Korean herb known for its powerful soothing and anti-inflammatory properties. It helps to calm redness and irritation, making it ideal for sensitive and acne-prone skin.
• Niacinamide: A form of Vitamin B3 that helps strengthen the skin barrier, regulate oil production, reduce the appearance of pores, and brighten skin tone, including fading dark spots.
• Squalane (Plant-Derived): A lightweight, non-comedogenic moisturising ingredient that mimics the skin's natural oils, helping to hydrate and soften the skin without feeling greasy.

• EU Declared Allergens: This product contains Linalool, a component naturally occurring in Rosemary Leaf Oil. While generally safe, those with specific sensitivities should patch test.

[Safety Information]

• For external use only.
• Avoid contact with eyes. If contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water.
• Discontinue use and consult a doctor if a rash or irritation develops and persists.
• Keep out of reach of children.

[Patch Test Protocol for Sensitive Skin]

Even gentle products can cause reactions in very sensitive individuals. We recommend a patch test before first use.

1. Apply a pea-sized amount of the sunscreen to a small, discreet area of skin, like behind your ear or on your inner elbow.
2. Wait 24 hours to observe for any signs of irritation, such as redness, itching, or burning.
3. If no reaction occurs, repeat for a second day to ensure no delayed sensitivity.
4. If your skin shows any irritation, do not use the product.

• Texture: A smooth, lightweight cream.
• Feel: Spreads easily and feels comfortable on the skin, not heavy or sticky.
• Finish: Dries down to a natural, satin finish. It is not overly dewy or completely matte.
• pH: Not publicly disclosed by the brand, but sunscreens are typically formulated in a pH range that ensures filter stability and skin compatibility.
• Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Compatibility: This formula contains Squalane and Polyglyceryl esters which can be potential triggers for some individuals with fungal acne. Patch testing is highly recommended if you are prone to Malassezia folliculitis.

• If the product pills (balls up): This usually happens from applying too much product at once or not allowing the layers underneath (like your moisturiser) to absorb fully. Try using a slightly smaller amount and wait 1-2 minutes after your moisturiser before applying the sunscreen. Patting, instead of rubbing, can also help.
• If you see a white cast: As a mineral sunscreen, a slight tone-up effect is possible, especially on deeper skin tones. To minimise this, apply the product in thin, even layers. Dot it around your face first, then gently blend and pat until it becomes more transparent. Applying it to well-hydrated skin also helps it blend seamlessly.
• If your skin feels dry: While the formula is not overly drying, it's not a heavy moisturiser. If you have very dry skin, be sure to apply a dedicated hydrating cream before the sunscreen for all-day comfort.

• Humid Summers: The lightweight, non-greasy texture is well-suited for Mauritius's high humidity. Oily and combination skin types may find they can use this directly after a serum, skipping a separate moisturiser in the morning.
• Drier Winters/AC Environments: During the cooler, drier months or if you spend a lot of time in air-conditioning, ensure your skin is well-moisturised before application to prevent any feeling of tightness.
• Beach/Outdoor Activity: As a physical sunscreen, it forms a protective barrier that is effective immediately upon application. Its gentle nature is excellent for skin that gets sensitised by heat and sun. Remember to reapply after swimming.

Note: The following is aggregated sentiment from independent online communities like Reddit's r/AsianBeauty, not brand-sponsored reviews.

Aggregated sentiment suggests that users often choose this sunscreen specifically because it is a physical formula that is less likely to cause stinging or irritation, especially around the eyes. Many with acne-prone and sensitive skin report that it provides effective protection without causing breakouts.

The texture is frequently described as more elegant and lightweight than traditional mineral sunscreens. However, a common point of discussion for any physical sunscreen is the potential for a white cast. Users with deeper skin tones often share tips for application, such as applying it in thin layers and patting it in, to achieve a more seamless blend.

AXIS-Y is a climate-inspired skincare brand that puts community first. They create effective, high-quality formulas using natural ingredients to address skin concerns affected by modern life, particularly for those with oily, acne-prone skin living in humid climates. Their 6+1+1 line, which this product is part of, features 6 nutrient-rich base ingredients, 1 core goal-oriented ingredient, and 1 advanced technology for maximum efficacy.
