Even Better Dark Spot Defense [SPF45/PA+++]

Oily

Doesn't Give High Coverage

Doesn't Adhere Well

Sits on Skin

Causes Allergic Reactions

Doesn't Last Long

Unsatisfactory Scent

Doesn't Cause Breakouts

Not Irritating

Improves Skin Tone

Evens Out Skin Tone

No Caking

No White Cast

Easily Absorbed

The amount is too little for the price. It's also a hassle to have to shake it before using...

The application is really smooth. It's fine to just dab it lightly on top of my makeup with a cushion, and there's hardly any white cast while still providing a tone-up effect, so sometimes I even go out without wearing foundation. It doesn't irritate my eyes either, which is great!

이븐 베터 다크 스팟 디펜스 [SPF45/PA+++]

It doesn't seem to provide good sun protection. Even though it was summer, I got some freckles on my cheekbones.

It's great to apply it before putting on makeup - it absorbs really well and doesn't get pushed around at all. In fact, applying it first works better than doing makeup without it.

The color is yellowish... I usually consider myself a 21-22 skin tone, but when I apply this product, I look like a yellow-toned person, and after washing my face, my skin actually appears brighter.
It's extremely oily, and the T-zone area becomes a complete disaster, so it's not really suitable for summer use.

It's incredibly lightweight.
If your skin tone is on the darker side, the yellow undertone of the sunscreen itself would likely suit you well.
Although it's a mineral sunscreen, it has a similar feel to chemical sunscreens.

But it's too shiny, OMG. It looks too oily, ugh.

There's almost no white cast and it seems to block UV rays well.

Whenever it got greasy, I just blotted it with oil-blotting paper.
It seems like there is no sunscreen that doesn't get greasy.

The department store staff member gave me the wrong color.
They gave me a white one.
I asked for a skin-toned one, but they just gave me this one anyway.

There is no sunscreen that doesn't get greasy.
They all get greasy.
However, this one blends well with other foundations, so there is almost no chalkiness, and it looks relatively natural.

Compared to the same brand's City Block product, this one is more moisturizing, so it might not be the best for summer use. After some time, the surface of my skin gets quite oily, making it look a bit messy.

I have atopic dermatitis, sun allergy, and dry skin, so I don't use just any cosmetics. But during the 3 months I used this product, I had no skin troubles. Especially since I have sun allergy, I have to apply sunscreen even on my eyelids, but I didn't feel any strong irritation around my eyes. When applied, it provides a slight tone-up effect, so it's great for someone like me who doesn't do much skin makeup - I can just apply this and go. Even when I reapply it multiple times in the afternoon, it doesn't get greasy or look unnatural.

Why does it make the sebum in my nose seem to come up and assert itself so much when I only use this? Ugh.

It doesn't spread well, but it sticks firmly and feels great on the skin.

The amount is too little ㅠㅠ
 And it doesn't seem to cover as well as some other products.
 My skin sometimes peels, but I'm not sure if that's because of this product or not.

There's no whitening or streaking effect.
 My skin is oily and my makeup tends to get cakey, and I also have some acne, so I've struggled with that. But I tried this product and it worked well for me.
 It also seems to work well for applying makeup on top.

The capacity is small and there seem to be more harmful ingredients than I expected. I bought it because it's said to be safe for pregnant women too.

I'm pregnant and this is considered a physical self-care product, so I bought and have been using it. Personally, I don't feel any particular discomfort.

While there weren't any issues with how it worked on my skin, those with oily skin may want to consider it carefully.

I absolutely love this sunscreen!
It was discontinued for about 6 months, so I had to use something else, but I finally got my hands on it again.
I would constantly call the department store to check if it was back in stock. My friends in Jeju have also been raving about this product, and now I'm completely hooked on it!

 I can tolerate the lackluster fragrance, but the price is hell.

 I purchased it for 48,000 won for 30ml.
As a dry-skinned person, I liked it. It applies well, absorbs well, and has tone-correcting properties, so it was good to use it alone.

You'll need to exfoliate well so it doesn't look patchy and applies evenly
(Otherwise, the areas around blemishes will look flaky and emphasized ㅠ)
It comes in two shades, white and beige, and I got the white one, but trying the beige sample, the beige seems less chalky, so that might be a better option!

The fragrance is not great.
My cheeks are dry, and the rest is normal, but it feels like it's putting a greasy layer on top.
It's hard to describe, but it doesn't make me feel overly oily, yet the inside feels dry and suffocated.
And on the areas with blemishes and scars, it accentuates the flakiness.

If you have a normal skin type and apply this, it seems like you can achieve a natural, glowing bare-faced look with a brightened and moisturized complexion.
It does make the skin look quite fair, but in a natural way, like your original skin tone.
