How to Use SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Hyalu-Cica Water-Fit Sun Serum Set (50ml+50ml+15ml)
- Since it's a pump, a tip is to measure the amount with 1–2 pumps and, because it's runny, layer it thinly to apply enough
- When carrying it in a bag the cap can open, so there's context about using the 15ml mini as the travel size
- If you're worried about eye sting, a recurring piece of advice is to try it under the eyes in store first
- Some reviews say they used it in place of the skincare cream step, so there are comments that you can cut a step in summer
