Description
The ANUA Zero Cast Moisturizing Finish Sunscreen is a high-performance broad-spectrum facial sunscreen offering SPF 50 / PA++++ coverage, formulated for everyday use with a lightweight, hydrating texture and a finish that leaves no visible white cast. According to the brand and trusted sellers, the formula is enriched with skin-care-benefit actives like niacinamide, panthenol, hyaluronic acid (sodium hyaluronate) and glycerin to hydrate, soothe and support the skin barrier—making it more than just a sunblock.
The product is designed to work under makeup, feel comfortable in everyday settings, and suit a variety of skin types, while giving reliable UV protection.
Size: 50ML
Skin Type
Normal skin — fits well as a daily sunscreen with added skin-care benefits.
Combination skin — hydrating yet not heavy, suitable for zones that may feel dry and zones that may feel oilier.
Sensitive skin — the finish is lightweight and the brand claims “non-comedogenic” and fragrance-free for sensitive compatibility.
Skin that is dry or has barrier-stress — because the formula includes humectants and barrier-supporting ingredients (important given your reported dry/flaky barrier).
Makeup-wearers — the “no white cast” claim and moisturizing finish make it a good base under makeup
Key Benefits
Broad-spectrum UV protection (SPF 50 / PA++++): Helps shield skin from both UVB and UVA rays in daily exposure.
Zero white cast finish: The “zero-cast” name reflects the formula’s ability to blend into various skin tones without leaving a ghostly white film.
Moisturizing & barrier-friendly texture: Including humectants (glycerin, sodium hyaluronate), along with niacinamide and panthenol, supports hydration and skin-comfort—not just protection.
Comfortable everyday use: Lightweight feel, suitable under makeup, non-greasy finish, claimed non-comedogenic—making it more “skin-care meets sunscreen”.
Supports skin with barrier stress: Because your skin barrier is compromised, this dual-function sunscreen (protection + hydration) aligns especially well with your needs.
Key Ingredients
Niacinamide: A multi-functional skincare ingredient—supports barrier, even skin tone, sebum regulation.
Panthenol (Pro-vitamin B5): Known for soothing and improving skin comfort/hydration.
Sodium Hyaluronate (Hyaluronic Acid): Provides hydration by drawing in moisture; supports plumper feel.
Broad-spectrum Chemical UV Filters (e.g., Avobenzone, Homosalate, Octisalate, Octocrylene): Provide the sun-protection backbone of the formula.
Glycerin: Humectant to help support hydration and barrier recovery.

How to use
Final step of morning skincare: After cleansing, toning, serum/moisturiser as usual, apply this sunscreen as the last step (or immediately before makeup).
Apply an adequate amount: Use a generous amount (for face/neck) to ensure full SPF coverage. A general rule: ~¼ teaspoon or 2 finger-lengths’ worth; or follow brand-specific measurement guidelines.
Allow absorption: Let the product absorb for a minute before applying makeup or going outdoors. The lightweight texture helps with make-up layering.
Re-apply regularly: Re-apply every 2 hours when exposed to sunlight, outdoors, sweating or after towel-drying. The brand mentions water-resistance (≈80 minutes) in some listings.
Evening removal: Use a gentle oil or micellar cleanser (especially if wearing makeup/sunscreen) then follow with your barrier-repair cleanser + hydrator + barrier cream (this is important given your barrier condition).
On barrier-weak nights: If your skin is feeling especially flaky or stressed, ensure you still use your barrier repair moisturiser after this sunscreen (on mornings you use), and if needed you might pair with extra hydrator.
Make-up priming tip: Because the finish is described as “moisturizing” not “matte”, you may set with a powder if you have oily zones; if your skin is dry/flaky, you’ll appreciate the finish as is.
