Take the skin testThe Dr. Ceuracle Tea Tree Purifine Green Up Sun is a multi-functional sunscreen that provides powerful sun protection while working as a makeup base at the same time. Its tinted base with a green shade helps to correct skin redness, resulting in a natural complexion. Infused with Tea Tree Extract, this sunscreen soothes blemish-prone skin with its anti-inflammatory properties while purifying and softening pores. Its low molecular weight Hyaluronic Acid replenishes ample moisture deeply into the skin, leaving it feeling hydrated and refreshed. Additionally, Niacinamide helps even out skin tone and reduce dark spots, restoring clear and bright skin. The Dr. Ceuracle Tea Tree Purifine Green Up Sun has an eco-friendly formula that is safe for the marine ecosystem, making it an excellent choice for the environmentally conscious consumer. It is free of harmful chemicals such as parabens, sulfates, and mineral oils, making it gentle and safe for all skin types.
Tea Tree Purifine Green Up Sun is a lightweight sunscreen from Dr. Ceuracle, a brand based in Korea. Its job is UV protection, with the rest of the formula working on hydration and soothing. The ingredient list runs to 53 ingredients, each broken down in full below.
By its ingredient list the formula reads as light: water and humectants lead, with emollients kept lower in the order. Silicones in the formula tend to give a smooth, blurred finish and help it grip under makeup. Hydration is handled by Butylene Glycol, Propanediol and Methylpropanediol, humectants that pull water into the upper layers of skin rather than sealing it there.
It is a mineral sunscreen, filtering with Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide. Between them those filters cover UVB, UVA II and UVA I, so the formula is broad-spectrum in the meaningful sense: it reaches past 340 nm, where the ageing wavelengths sit. Every filter in the formula is photostable, so its protection does not fall away over the first hour in the sun — reapplication is still about sweat, water and rubbing rather than degradation.
Hydration: High. Ingredients that pull and hold water in the upper layers of skin, and here that comes from Butylene Glycol, Propanediol, Methylpropanediol and Ethylhexylglycerin.
Soothing: High. Ingredients aimed at visible redness and reactivity, and here that comes from C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate, Isononyl Isononanoate, Zinc Oxide and Niacinamide.
Oil control: Moderate. Ingredients that moderate sebum or absorb shine, and here that comes from Zinc Oxide, Niacinamide, Silica and Aluminum Hydroxide.
On richness alone it suits Balanced, Combination (oily) and Oily skin best, and is the least natural fit for Dry and Combination (dry) skin. Nothing in the list is flagged as a common irritant, which is a reasonable starting point for reactive skin — though a patch test is still the only way to know.
The formula contributes little or nothing on antioxidant protection, cell renewal and firmness signalling. That is not a fault — most products are not meant to do everything — but if one of those is your priority, this is not the product that will address it.
Reading the full list, the formula is fragrance-free, no drying alcohol, paraben-free, sulfate-free, dye-free and oil-free. Those claims come from the ingredient list itself, not from the packaging. It does contain essential oils, worth knowing if your skin reacts to any of them.
Use it in the morning. In a routine it goes final morning step, before makeup. Apply about two finger-lengths for the face and neck — under-application is the single most common reason sunscreen underperforms. Reapply every two hours of sun exposure, and after swimming or towelling off. Let it set for a couple of minutes before makeup so it does not pill.
This summary is generated from the product's ingredient list. It is not a review, it is not the brand's own marketing claims, and it does not replace advice from a dermatologist.
Drawn purely from the ingredient list
Scored on how rich or light the formula reads from its INCI order.
No ingredient in this formula carries a common-irritant flag, making it a reasonable option for reactive skin. A patch test is still recommended, as individual skin reactivity varies.
Based on the curated benefits documented for this product's ingredients.
Attracts and locks in moisture to keep skin plump and dewy
Calms redness, irritation, and inflammation for sensitive skin
Boosts collagen and cell turnover to reduce fine lines and wrinkles
Regulates sebum production to reduce shine and greasiness
Tightens and refines the look of enlarged pores
None of the ingredients in this formula are associated with these benefits. This is not unusual, as most products are designed to target a limited number of concerns.
Mineral filter system · broad-spectrum through UVA I
The only single filter that covers the whole UVB–UVA1 range on its own. Scatters and absorbs rather than purely absorbing, and can leave a white cast at high loads.
Strong UVB and short-UVA protection, but it stops before UVA I — a mineral formula leaning on titanium dioxide alone needs zinc oxide beside it for deep UVA.

At the last step of skincare, apply a generous, full layer before sun exposure. Re-apply regularly.
Judged on how rich the formula reads from its ingredient list, it suits Balanced, Combination (oily), Oily skin best. It is the least natural fit for Dry, Combination (dry) skin.
No ingredient in this formula carries a common-irritant flag, making it a reasonable option for reactive skin. A patch test is still recommended, as individual skin reactivity varies.
6 ingredients could feed malassezia: Polyglyceryl-10 Oleate, Melaleuca Alternifolia Leaf Oil, Cetearyl Olivate, Sorbitan Olivate, Polyglyceryl-6 Polyricinoleate, Polyglyceryl-6 Polyhydroxystearate. That describes the yeast's food supply, not a prediction that they will cause a breakout.
Nothing in this formula is on the standard pregnancy-caution list. That is not medical clearance — check anything you use daily with your doctor or midwife.
Yes. Reading the full ingredient list, this formula is fragrance-free.
No. Reading the full ingredient list, this formula is no drying alcohol.
No — it contains Dimethicone/vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Caprylyl Methicone, Polymethylsilsesquioxane, Dimethiconol, Trisiloxane.
Yes — it contains Melaleuca Alternifolia Leaf Oil.
Yes. Reading the full ingredient list, this formula is paraben-free.
It layers well with Vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid), Retinoids (retinol, retinal), AHAs (glycolic, lactic), BHA (salicylic acid), PHAs (gluconolactone), Benzoyl peroxide.
Use it in the morning, final morning step, before makeup.
It lists 53 ingredients, of which 4 are recorded as actives.
Dr. Ceuracle, a brand based in Korea.
It filters UV with Zinc Oxide (zinc oxide), Titanium Dioxide (titanium dioxide).
Yes. Its filters cover UVB, UVA II and UVA I, so protection reaches past 340 nm into the deep-UVA range associated with ageing and pigmentation.
Possibly. It filters with mineral UV filters, which sit on the surface and can leave a visible cast on deeper skin tones, especially at high SPF.
It contains none of the filters named in the Hawaii and Key West reef legislation (oxybenzone and octinoxate). "Reef safe" is not a regulated term, so treat that as a fact about the filter list rather than a certification.
Yes. Let it set for a couple of minutes before foundation so it does not pill, and reapply over makeup with a stick or powder rather than rubbing more in.
Every two hours of sun exposure, and immediately after swimming, sweating heavily or towelling off.
