Is it OK for sensitive skin?

Declared facts only, not a suitability verdict: no fragrance listed; no labeled fragrance allergens declared; no denatured alcohol listed. No irritation-related fact here implies suitability for any skin type.

Can I buy it outside Korea?

International shipping: StyleKorean, YesStyle; Sold in Korea only: Olive Young Korea; Shipping scope unverified: Benton official site (bentoncosmetic.com), Musinsa; Global price: US$11.00 (61% off list US$28.00, sold as "Cica Gel Sunscreen Serum") — StyleKorean.

Is the Korean version of Benton's Cica Moisture Sun Serum different from the export version?

No confirmed difference in formula, only in name. Olive Young Korea sells it as "Cica Moisture Sun Serum," while StyleKorean and YesStyle sell the identical 61-ingredient list, in the same listed order, under the export name "Cica Gel Sunscreen Serum." Its four UV filters (Uvinul A Plus, Uvinul T150, Tinosorb M, Uvasorb HEB) are not FDA-approved, so this remains a Korea-formula product wherever it's sold, checked 2026-09-04.

Is it vegan?

Benton markets this product under a "vegan" label on its own store site, but no specific certifying body or on-page certification badge was found on Olive Young Korea's listing or Benton's official site, checked 2026-09-04.
