SEKKISEI Clear Wellness UV Defense Gel is a Japanese sunscreen gel for unstable skin.
The moisturising sunscreen gel is specially formulated to address skin issues brought on by environmental factors. The 70% beauty serum formula with Sekkisei’s proprietary ITOWA¹ botanical blend boosts the skin’s moisture barrier function to help the skin better resist environmental stressors such as dust and pollen. “Damage Resist” helps prevent dryness and roughness caused by UV exposure.
Ideally suited for everyday use during the hot season, it glides on smoothly and stays put to protect reactive skin from daily exposure to environmental stressors. Skin feels perfectly moisturised with no dryness.

Have you tried this product? If so, what did you think of it?
It spreads well, feels non-greasy, and leaves no white cast (at least not that I can tell on my light skin).
Do you wear sunscreen when staying indoors all day, especially when there isn’t any direct sunlight coming through the windows?
It’s up to you and your situation, but it’s easier to view sunscreen use as an integral part of your morning skincare routine.
UVA doesn’t behave like visible light and the distance from a window doesn’t necessarily mean you don’t receive any. It’s hard to compare to outdoors in your location without a spectroradiometer, but about a quarter of UVA exposure is supposed to happen indoors.
Where did you get the 1/4 UVA statistic?

Thank you for the interesting links. The first link measures UVA through glass from a 0cm distance from the source.
This study reports that UVA radiation is undetectable through glass from 50cm away. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/26678788_The_role_of_glass_as_a_barrier_against_the_transmission_of_ultraviolet_radiation_An_experimental_study
UVA from the sun when indoor highly depends on your location, distance from windows, and type/colour of glass you have. That study you referenced is interesting but it doesn’t translate to real-life situations. The types of glass used in their test aren’t used for window glasses in most homes and offices. It also used an artificial source in a lab for UVA radiation. 50cm is not even an arm-length. This is purely anecdotal but I’ve tanned sitting indoor in the past even though windows were definitely more than an arm-length away. If UVA was truly “undetectable” through glass, I shouldn’t have been able to tan.
If there’re windows and it’s daylight, you’re getting UVA exposure. Whether you think the amount is a concern or not is ultimately up to you and your situation.
