Side-by-side comparison

Aqua Glowing or Green Tea Fresh?

Both are lightweight, fast-absorbing, vegan and fragrance-free. Use your skin type and preferred finish to make the final choice.

Dewy and moisturising

Aqua Glowing Sunscreen

A comfortable choice for dry, dehydrated-feeling or easily tight skin. It leaves a radiant finish that works especially well when you want makeup to look fresh rather than flat.

  • Bamboo water, panthenol, glycerin and sodium hyaluronate support moisture.
  • Ceramide NP complements a barrier-conscious skincare routine.
  • Niacinamide adds everyday tone and radiance care.
  • The dewy finish suits normal-to-dry skin and glow-focused makeup.
Choose this when: skin feels dry, air-conditioning leaves it tight or you prefer a luminous base under makeup.
Fresh and softly matte

Green Tea Fresh Sunscreen

A lighter choice for combination, oily or redness-prone skin. It settles with a fresher finish, making it an easy match for warm weather and a shine-conscious routine.

  • Green tea leaf water gives the formula its fresh, calming focus.
  • Centella extracts and madecassoside support comfortable daily wear.
  • Niacinamide complements an even-looking skin routine.
  • The fresh-matte finish suits combination-to-oily skin.
Choose this when: your T-zone becomes shiny easily or you want sunscreen to feel light beneath makeup.
