Results you may expect from using Some By Mi Truecica Mineral Calming Tone-up Suncream SPF 50+ PA++++:

Based on the ingredient analysis by CreamScan, these are the key benefits you can expect from using Some By Mi Truecica Mineral Calming Tone-up Suncream SPF 50+ PA++++:

  • Light moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 3.2 out of 10.
  • Considerable anti-wrinkle efficacy: Some By Mi Truecica Mineral Calming Tone-up Suncream SPF 50+ PA++++ has an anti-wrinkle rating of 5.0 out of 10, indicating a moderate ability to reduce wrinkles.
  • Antioxidant protection.
  • Very high sun protection for prolonged sun exposure, such as spending the day at the beach, hiking, or outdoor sports.

How moisturizing is it?

Lightly moisturizing: Some By Mi Truecica Mineral Calming Tone-up Suncream SPF 50+ PA++++ has a moisturizing rating of 3.2 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Rather humectant. It has a low occlusivity of 0.8 out of 10 and a moderate humectancy of 5.6 out of 10, primarily due to the high content of Propanediol (est. ≈2.5%).

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

Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, Some By Mi Truecica Mineral Calming Tone-up Suncream SPF 50+ PA++++ has a moderate anti-wrinkle rating of 5.0 out of 10.

It contains 2 active ingredients with proven anti-wrinkle efficacy:

  • Asiaticoside (est. ≈0.3%),
     derived from the plant Centella asiatica, an ingredient with moderate anti-wrinkle efficacy confirmed by one study.
  • Niacinamide (est. ≈1.3%),
     one of the most effective and well-researched anti-wrinkle ingredients.
Among others, Some By Mi Truecica Mineral Calming Tone-up Suncream SPF 50+ PA++++ also contains some ingredients marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles, specifically Adenosine, Centella Asiatica Leaf Extract, Madecassic Acid, and Asiatic Acid. However, the studies supporting the anti-wrinkle claims of these ingredients provide insufficient evidence of efficacy according to CreamScan Research Evaluation Standards. Therefore, these ingredients do not contribute to the anti-wrinkle rating.
 
Moisturizers, when used regularly, are proven to prevent wrinkle formation and even reduce existing wrinkles. Therefore, this product, like any other moisturizer, could deliver additional anti-wrinkle efficacy through its moisturizing action.
 

Please refer to the Ratings section below for details of the anti-wrinkle rating calculation.

Antioxidant benefits

We estimate that Some By Mi Truecica Mineral Calming Tone-up Suncream SPF 50+ PA++++ is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Benzotriazolyl Dodecyl p-Cresol (est. ≈2.0%).

A key benefit of antioxidants is their ability to reduce oxidative stress caused by free radicals and therefore prevent accelerated skin aging. Studies also show that antioxidants can protect against environmental damage such as UV radiation and pollution, and help reduce inflammation and skin redness.

Sun protection

Some By Mi Truecica Mineral Calming Tone-up Suncream SPF 50+ PA++++ has an SPF of 50 and provides very high sun protection. This level of protection is ideal for activities involving intense or prolonged sun exposure, such as spending the day at the beach, hiking, or outdoor sports. It is particularly recommended for individuals with fair skin, those at high risk of skin cancer, or in environments with intense sun exposure. Remember to apply sunscreen generously and reapply every two hours or after swimming or sweating to maintain effectiveness.
