Key Benefits of SIRCUIT SKIN Sol-Avert SPF 30

 
These are the key benefits you can expect from using SIRCUIT SKIN Sol-Avert SPF 30:
 

🔵🔵 Moisturizer with the Right Occlusivity for Normal Skin

According to CreamScan analysis, SIRCUIT SKIN Sol-Avert SPF 30 is lightly moisturizing, with a moisturizing rating of 3.9 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Rather occlusive. It has a low humectancy of 2.6 out of 10 and a moderate occlusivity of 5.2 out of 10, primarily due to the high content of Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride (est. ≈6.0%) and Aleurites Moluccanus Seed Oil (est. ≈2.5%).

This type of product, when used as a standalone moisturizer, may provide some occlusive moisturizing that is adequate for normal skin.

Please refer to the Ratings section below for details of the moisturizing rating calculation.

☀️☀️ Moderate to High Sun Protection for Daily Outdoor Activities

With an SPF of 30, SIRCUIT SKIN Sol-Avert SPF 30 provides moderate to high sun protection, making it suitable for daily use during moderate sun exposure, such as commuting or light outdoor activities.

This level of SPF offers excellent defense against UVB rays, blocking up to 97% of harmful radiation. When labeled as broad-spectrum, these products also protect against UVA rays, which are responsible for skin aging and hyperpigmentation.

📌 For optimal protection, choose products labeled broad-spectrum to ensure defense against both UVA rays, which contribute to skin aging and pigmentation, and UVB rays that cause sunburn.

This level of SPF works well for skin types mildly prone to sunburn. It is particularly suitable for low-to-moderate UV index environments and non-tropical climates. However, it is not recommended for prolonged outdoor exposure or intense UV conditions. Reapplication every two hours is essential to maintain effectiveness.

📌 Please note that this is not a complete list of benefits. We are in the process of enhancing our model to incorporate anti-pigmentation, exfoliation and anti-acne ratings.

Things to Be Aware Of: SIRCUIT SKIN Sol-Avert SPF 30

 
CreamScan identified a few things to consider before adding SIRCUIT SKIN Sol-Avert SPF 30 to your skincare routine:
 

⚠️ Needs to Be Paired with Extra Humectants for Optimal Moisturizing Efficacy

An ideal moisturizer for any skin type should balance the right level of occlusivity (depending on skin type) with a significant amount of humectants, while SIRCUIT SKIN Sol-Avert SPF 30 contains a relatively low level of humectants.

People with normal skin would definitely benefit from adding more humectants to their moisturizing routine beyond what this product offers. If this is your only moisturizer, it may be worth including a humectant-rich product, such as a serum, in your skincare routine.

Pros & Cons of SIRCUIT SKIN Sol-Avert SPF 30

🟩 Pros:

Provides the right level of occlusivity to moisturize normal skin
Balanced texture, neither too light nor too heavy
Provides moderate to high sun protection, suitable for light outdoor activities in non-tropical climates
 

⭕ Cons:
