It applies smoothly without feeling heavy, leaving a light and moisturizing finish. Perfect for hot weather! The transparent, thin layer makes it easy to reapply throughout the day. Gentle on skin: I was pleased that it didn't cause any irritation, tightness, or itching. There was no stinging sensation in my eyes either. Scent: The floral fragrance is subtle and pleasant, not overpowering at all. It actually made me feel relaxed. Plus, the scent fades away shortly after application, so it's not a bother. Ease of use: The narrow opening and squeezable bottle make it convenient to dispense just the right amount. Results: While it's not a brightening moisturizer that gives instant results, after using it for over a week, my complexion looks clearer and more radiant. I didn't find any significant drawbacks. However, if you're sensitive to fragrances, the subtle floral scent might be noticeable to you. - ch***********Normal SkinSensitive SkinRecommendedJul 10, 2025Reviewed by The Hwahae Testers

I was pleasantly surprised when I first tried this sun serum. The incredibly hydrating formula won me over! 2. The standout feature is undoubtedly how well it applies. It's absolutely top-notch! 3. This sun serum is the best choice as a makeup base. It's truly an outstanding product - we all know how crucial a good base is for makeup! 4. I distinctly remember how great the finish felt. Both the application and the finish have a really nice texture. 5. Longevity is important, and this product excels in both staying power and durability! 6. It might just be the best anti-pigmentation sun serum out there. 7. I highly recommend this product for your base makeup routine. 8. It worked especially well during summer. I strongly recommend this sun serum for the hot months! 9. The ampoule-like formula provides exceptional hydration, which I really appreciated. 10. I loved that it tackles both pigmentation and blemishes, making it great for addressing skin discoloration. 11. I was impressed by the clinical trials on skin clarity and texture improvement. It really boosted my confidence in the product. 12. I believe consistent use will yield good results. Though my trial period was short and I don't have pigmentation issues, my husband (who has blemishes) has been using it too, and his skin seems a bit brighter! 13. Unlike typical sunscreens that feel heavy and sticky, this sun serum doesn't feel suffocating or tacky at all. 14. What I truly loved was that it caused zero irritation. I'm grateful to the creators of this product! 15. I highly recommend this sun serum for those with sensitive skin prone to dead skin cells during seasonal changes. 16. I'd also like to recommend this sun serum to those with dry and sensitive skin. 17. For those who struggle with makeup caking or clumping, you must try this sun serum! Its adherence and application are unparalleled. You really should experience it for yourself! Areas for improvement: There's nothing particularly disappointing to mention this time! My personal tip: Apply the product with your hands at body temperature for better adherence. You'll quickly notice how well it adheres and how smoothly it applies. - es*********Combination SkinRecommendedJul 10, 2025Reviewed by The Hwahae Testers

My husband can't use anything that irritates his eyes even slightly But when I applied this, he said it was very comfortable It's hydrating without feeling oily So it's not burdensome to apply even in this tropical weather After application, it doesn't exactly feel powdery But it does leave a hydrated feeling I haven't noticed any brightening effects after two weeks But I love this serum-like sunscreen And knowing it might brighten my skin makes it even more enjoyable to use I think I'll stick with this sunscreen I'm really pleased with it I took it on vacation Used it comfortably with no regrets Before makeup I skip moisturizer And apply this generously - ke*******Combination SkinSensitive SkinRecommendedJul 10, 2025Reviewed by The Hwahae Testers

As a member of The Hwahae Testers, I decided to try out this Melareturn Sun Serum in hopes of escaping the desperate summer situation where my skin breaks down, puffs up, and becomes a mix of sweat and oil under the scorching sun. I was only familiar with sunscreens, sun cushions, and sun sticks, so a sun serum was new to me. But it turns out you just apply it after your skincare routine, just like other sun protection products! I have combination skin prone to acne and blemishes. My forehead and nose are oily, but they get very dry and tight without proper hydration. Now, let me share the pros: 1. Scent In my opinion, the fragrance is incredibly gentle and soothing. I'm quite sensitive to scents, and usually, the first thing I do when opening a new product is to smell it. When I did that with this one, I was pleasantly surprised! 2. Hydration Being a serum, it definitely provides a boost of hydration. I usually moisturize before applying sunscreen to prevent dryness, but when I tried this product on slightly dry skin, it actually helped alleviate the dryness! 3. White Cast One of the most annoying things when applying makeup is having a ghostly white face. That's why I always choose sun protection products without white cast. This product applies smoothly without leaving any white residue. 4. Makeup Compatibility It doesn't interfere with makeup at all. In fact, it applies thinly and moistly, so it actually helps rather than hinders your makeup application. 1. Oiliness While it's a sun "serum" and definitely provides hydration, the accompanying oiliness is unavoidable. You have to choose one or the other! 2. Other Effects Perhaps due to the short testing period, I couldn't really notice the other promised effects like lifting and brightening. Maybe long-term use would show these results. Overall, this sun serum seems to be a great option for those looking for a hydrating sunscreen that works well under makeup. It's particularly suitable for those with combination dehydrated skin who struggle with both oiliness and dryness. The lack of white cast is a big plus, especially for those who wear makeup daily. However, if you have very oily skin, you might find the product a bit too rich. As for the long-term benefits like brightening and lifting, more extended use might be necessary to see results. - ql******Oily SkinSensitive SkinAcne SkinBrightening/Dark SpotsSebum/BlackheadsDark CirclesInner DrynessWrinkles/ElasticityEnlarged PoresRednessDead Skin CellsRecommendedJul 10, 2025Reviewed by The Hwahae Testers

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.This product has completed 6 clinical trials (for dark spots, hyperpigmentation, skin clarity, melanin reduction, skin brightness, and skin texture), so I felt confident using it! The watery texture is refreshing and hydrating without any stickiness. It applies like a moisturizer, feeling light and comfortable, which made me reach for it often. With 5% high-concentration brightening ingredients, I noticed my complexion becoming more radiant. This is actually the maximum concentration allowed by the FDA for brightening products, ranging from 2-5%! The 4X CICA formula (a complex of 4 centella asiatica derivatives) is gentle and great for calming the skin. It should be safe even for those with super sensitive skin! It's said to reduce melanin deep within the skin, improving clarity in just 4 weeks of use. Consistent application should yield great results. I highly recommend this for those who find traditional sunscreens uncomfortable or greasy! It's supposed to be great for improving areas of hyperpigmentation and evening out skin tone. The lightweight, watery texture that glides on smoothly without feeling heavy or sticky was what I loved most and why I kept reaching for it. While it claims to have a cooling effect that helps soothe UV-induced skin irritation, I didn't notice much of a cooling sensation. However, I really loved how it applies with a hydrating, watery texture like a moisturizer. It's supposed to go beyond sun protection to even tighten enlarged pores! While I'm not sure about the pore-tightening effects, I did appreciate that it didn't clog my pores at all. This seems perfect for men or children who dislike applying sunscreen. In this hot weather, you can frequently and comfortably apply it to your face, neck, arms, and body for a non-sticky summer protection! For those who often apply sunscreen indoors worried about fluorescent light exposure, this product's low oil content and hydrating formula make it great for indoor use too! - ma********Normal SkinSensitive SkinRednessRecommendedJul 10, 2025Reviewed by The Hwahae Testers

Hydrating formula, adheres without white cast! As a sun serum, the texture is incredibly smooth with excellent adherence. After application, it feels as moisturizing as a hydrating cream, with absolutely no white cast or pilling! It's perfect for morning routines as it doesn't affect your base makeup when applied beforehand. 2. Specialized ingredient blend for dark spots and blemishes I love that it contains niacinamide, tranexamic acid, and arbutin, which are effective for melanin care. It goes beyond simple sun protection, allowing for simultaneous brightening and blemish care. 3. Fragrance-free & low-irritation formula I could use it comfortably even on sensitive days without any tingling or irritation. I think it's recommendable for those sensitive to fragrances as it's free from artificial scents. 4. One sun serum completes your morning routine! It's perfect for busy mornings as you can go straight from toner → sun serum → cushion foundation. A smart product that tackles hydration, brightening, and UV protection all at once! There's nothing significant to mention! I'm using the sun serum well and it's great for daily use! 1. Layer it up on areas with blemish concerns! I applied an extra layer on areas with dark spots like cheekbones and around the nose. Gently patting it in before makeup can enhance the brightening effect on these targeted areas. 2. Use as a cooling sun serum by storing in the refrigerator When your face is puffy in the morning, applying the chilled sun serum from the fridge provides a cooling effect that's extra refreshing. It gives a sense of slightly lowering skin temperature, which is especially recommended for summer! 3. Pat gently for absorption Lightly patting with your palms seems to reduce the rich feeling while improving the absorption of the serum's brightening ingredients. I found it works well even when used as the final step in skincare. - cy****Combination SkinDark CirclesInner DrynessWrinkles/ElasticityRecommendedJul 9, 2025Reviewed by The Hwahae Testers

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.After using it daily for two weeks, here's a quick summary - It's a gentle, skin-friendly sun serum that's perfect for summer use. *Texture and Application - Initially, it's a white opaque serum that applies moistly and quickly absorbs to become transparent. - After absorption, there's a subtle serum glow. - True to being a sun serum, it adheres well without the heaviness of a typical cream! *Formulation - As expected from a sun serum, it's absolutely not heavy like regular sunscreens. - The lightweight serum formulation ensures it doesn't sit on top of the skin but adheres exceptionally well. *Potential for Blemishes - The ingredients are so gentle that I didn't experience any blemishes! You can feel its mildness as you apply it. *Recommended Skin Types I'd recommend this for oily or combination skin. While heavy, sticky sunscreens can cause blemishes in summer, this product is light and pleasant to use. *Effects After applying this sun serum, my overall complexion became more even. It didn't whiten, but it did create uniformity. Even my bare face seemed cleaner, if that makes sense. I think continued use will show even better results. *Texture and Application The finish isn't exactly matte when applied. It wasn't an issue for me as I usually apply makeup over my sun serum, but it might feel a bit greasy if used alone. In the sweltering summer, it's crucial to keep your base light before makeup to prevent it from breaking down. However, skipping sunscreen can lead to a dull complexion. Make sure to apply this before your skin makeup! Apply a thin layer twice, then do your makeup - it works wonderfully for a flawless application. - so********Dehydrated SkinSensitive SkinAcne SkinBrightening/Dark SpotsSebum/BlackheadsDark CirclesWrinkles/ElasticityEnlarged PoresRecommendedJul 9, 2025Reviewed by The Hwahae Testers

Perfect for those worried about their sunscreen washing off in the hot summer! - A pleasant floral scent that puts you in a good mood (though it might be divisive). It's quite strong and lingers even after wiping with a wet wipe - Instant cooling effect upon application! Unlike some products that make your eyes sting or tear up, the Melaritern Sun Serum doesn't irritate the eyes and even has brightening properties. Such a smart product! - May not suit those sensitive to fragrances - Caution needed if you're using other brightening products during the day, or if niacinamide doesn't agree with your skin. Also be careful if you're using exfoliating, brightening, vitamin C, retinol, or retinal products in your skincare routine - As it's a serum formula, applying it over makeup can cause pilling or smudging. If you don't have cleansing wipes or touch-up kit, be extra careful when reapplying over makeup - The soft plastic packaging makes it hard to see how much product is left, and it's too hard to cut open to get the last bits out - Allow it to absorb while layering, then apply foundation - Oily skin types might find the combination of sweat, sun serum, and foundation creates an overly shiny effect. After application, it can feel a bit oily or glowy - For those with bangs, use oil blotting papers to remove forehead oil regularly, blow-dry hair, and use a hair fixer to prevent bangs from getting greasy - While it's recommended to reapply sunscreen every 3 hours, the serum formula is thinner, so be careful not to ruin your makeup. For best results, use a touch-up pad or cleansing wipe, then apply the serum and cushion foundation. Perfect! - yo********Dehydrated SkinSensitive SkinAcne SkinSebum/BlackheadsEnlarged PoresRednessRecommendedJul 9, 2025Reviewed by The Hwahae Testers

I tend to avoid them because they often feel heavy and leave a sticky residue. But the Melarithm Sun Serum's texture really surprised me! It's incredibly watery, which means it doesn't feel sticky when applied. In fact, it left my skin feeling hydrated. I think it would work great as a makeup base - it's definitely a product that plays well with others! And best of all, it doesn't feel suffocating on the skin, which I really appreciate. Ingredients I've heard it contains high concentrations of niacinamide, glutathione, tranexamic acid, and 4X CICA components. It also boasts 10 types of hyaluronic acid, so not only does it promise brightening effects, but it seems like it'll be great for overall skin health too. Packaging The packaging is a clean, white design. It's also compact, making it perfect for carrying around. You can easily slip it into your pocket and pull it out whenever you need a touch-up - it's just the right size! Sun Protection For me, the most crucial aspect of any sun care product is its UV protection. The Melarithm Sun Serum offers SPF50+ and PA++++. From what I've researched, the more plus signs and higher the number, the better the protection. So this sunscreen definitely scores high on sun protection! I haven't found any downsides yet. If I notice anything, I'll make sure to update my review.
