Tage Cica Tree Water Jelly Sun Serum
Ingredient analysis and how the ad lines read
Read on 2026-09-21
What is this product?
A water-light jelly sun serum built on 50.47% tea tree leaf water with five UV filters, niacinamide and 1,000 ppm centella extract, suiting oily or sensitive skin that wants hydration and soothing in one sunscreen step.
What makes it different?
Tea tree leaf water, not plain water, is the first ingredient at 50.47%, and a printed 1,000 ppm centella extract concentration backs the cica positioning. Five UV filters including Terephthalylidene Dicamphor Sulfonic Acid and Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine sit in the front half of the list, suggesting broad UVB and UVA coverage. Niacinamide at position 8 and adenosine at position 25 add brightening and soothing support. The formula is fragrance-free with no essential oils or drying alcohols detected.
