  Pros

  This product is what I've been using recently, after carefully considering it for a long time, as I wanted to use a non-drying product in the winter. Originally, I was going to buy the same company's Daeyrong SPF50 product, as it seemed to have very good blocking power, but then I discovered that buying this product along with it would be cheaper, so I ended up getting it. As expected, it performs better in terms of blocking power compared to the mediocre domestic SPF50+ PA+++ products. I'm currently only using this product. In fact, I've been looking for an SPF30 PA+++ product, but the problem was that there aren't any domestic products that fit that criteria. In Korea, people are obsessed with SPF and consider PA to be an additional factor. They recommend using SPF30 or above only in the summer, as anything higher doesn't make a significant difference in UVB blocking, but just increases skin irritation. Realistically, it's more effective to focus on the PA index, which indicates the protection against the aging-causing UVA rays. Personally, I don't like imported products, but I had no choice since there was nothing domestic that met my standards. Anyway, the main advantages of this product are its adequate self-dispersing ability and good lasting power. There's no conflict between the self-dispersing abilities. That's why I didn't do the self-dispersing breakdown test this time (even for the SPF50 one). The darker the photo, the better it blocks the fluorescence. The '30' written on the right side of the photo is for this product.

  Cons

  It seems to have less alcohol than Sunkaholic, so I bought it thinking it would be less drying, and as expected, it's not as drying as Sunkaholic. However, I'm still not fully satisfied with it. It seems they added alcohol for better application, but that has resulted in a lower viscosity, which is disappointing. The wide opening and the product's tendency to gush out make it difficult to control the amount. Alcohol isn't even good for the face. The fact that it has better blocking power than mediocre products means it likely contains a decent amount of self-dispersing agents. As a result, when applied, it makes the face extremely oily, like the state of the lips after eating fried food. Even if it doesn't cause any issues from the organic self-dispersing agents, most people may find it difficult to adapt to. Sadly, for oily skin types, it's likely impossible. It's always a hassle to open the lid, as it doesn't open easily, and the gushing product requires me to be cautious when opening it. Self-dispersing agents do require the user to adapt, but this product demands a lot of adaptation from the user. Sigh. I understand everything else, but I'm not happy about the inclusion of the antioxidant BHT. It also has tocopherol... The domestic promotional claims that it's free of emulsifiers are simply not true. The very composition of the product makes it impossible for it to be without emulsifiers. In simple terms, the claim of organic self-dispersing agents in an aqueous formulation without emulsifiers is likely an exaggerated advertisement. There are ways to do it, but for a company with a long distribution chain, it would be a risky venture. More downsides to the product tips.

  Tip

  The Daeyrong SPF50 product, which has '50' written on it, does have a whitening effect due to the presence of titanium dioxide (Tinosorb M). Based on the darkness and the ingredient composition, it appears to be an SPF50+ PA+++ or higher product.
