It’s been some time since I did a sunscreen review, but I’m very excited about this one. The Cell Fusion C Laser Sunscreen 100 SPF50+/PA+++ is actually very popular in Korea. This is a combination sunscreen including both inorganic (physical) and organic (chemical) filters. It comes in a 50ml tube, but I got this 10ml sample to try from Stylekorean.
How does the Cell Fusion C Laser Sunscreen 100 SPF50+/PA+++ perform
• Protection:SPF 50+, PA+++
I used this two times in very hot weather (36°C) and direct sunlight when I HAD to go out and not only I didn’t get greasy, but there wasn’t even a drop of sweat on my face, which surprised me. Also, I didn’t tan and my face wasn’t red or feeling hot either. So, I’d say the protection power is really good.
• Texture:The texture is creamy, but doesn’t feel heavy at all. And it absorbs pretty fast into the skin.
• What’s the finish like?It dries down to a semi-matte finish with a subtle sheen, and you’d think oily skin wouldn’t like that, especially considering the creamy texture. BUT, it has this powdery feel to it that keeps the skin grease-free – for a long period of time! There is zero stickiness so hair won’t stick to your face. Mattifying as time passes, but non drying and doesn’t make my face feel tight.
• Does it contain alcohol?No.
• Fragrance/Scent?Yes, it does contain fragrance. I personally actually really like how this smells. It has a mild floral scent.
• Does it leave a white cast?The whitecast is very noticeable upon application! But my skin is fair and it disappears on me within 15-20 minutes. I do notice a bit of a tone-up effect afterwards which means it doesn’t go away completely. Hence, I strongly feel this won’t be suitable for darker skin and wouldn’t recommend it.
• Irritation or breakouts?Not only this wasn’t irritating, but I felt the redness on my cheeks subside. I’m always getting a pimple here and there, and recently I had only 2 new litte bumps on the skin, but cannot say with certainty if it’s the sunscreen or not. So, I will continue using it for sure.
• Easy to re-apply?Whereas with some sunscreens I need to blot the skin and others are almost impossible to re-apply, this one was the easiest for me.
• How does it work with makeup?There are sunscreens that I don’t even bother to test with makeup, because maybe they feel a bit heavy or look a bit more shiny than I’d prefer. Because this one sits very well on the skin I’ve tried it with concealers and I love how it looks. It kind of gives a blurring effect on the skin.
• Does it sting the eyes?It doesn’t sting my eyes. To clarify, I do not apply sunscreens on my eyelids, but very close to the lower lashline and both corners of my eyes, as well as on my brow bone.

Final Verdict
I truly wasn’t expecting to like this sunscreen so much. When I first applied it I thought it would feel heavy and greasy, but on the contrary, it doesn’t feel occlusive on my oily skin. I love the non-sticky semi-matte finish. This reminds me a bit of the Avene Very High Protection Dry Touch Fluid SPF 50+ due to that dry touch quality, but I prefer the Cell Fusion C much better! I so enjoy using it in hot humid weather as it keeps my skin grease and sweat-free. But, at the same time it doesn’t feel drying on me (I usually hate the tight skin feel so much that I’d rather look shiny/dewy to be honest). This is the easiest sunscreen I’ve tried so far to re-apply which is kind of a big deal. However, this would only work on pale/fair/light skin, unfortunately.I highly recommend this and would definitely purchase it! It has become a HG for me.
