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 small for such a high price. It's also a bit of a hassle to shake before use....

The way this absorbs is really fantastic. It's fine to gently pat it on over makeup with a cushion, and it brightens the complexion with almost no white cast. Sometimes I even go out without foundation. I love that it doesn't irritate my eyes!

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!

The sunscreen didn't last very long after application, and the price is a bit steep for us younger folks to use.

It naturally fades to a beautiful white and has amazing absorption. And this product is gentle, so I think it would be great for those with combination or sensitive skin.

It seems better to use this during drier seasons rather than summer.

The lasting power is weak. It has a slightly tacky feel on the face.

It has no white cast and is moisturizing. It's suitable for combination skin and is good to use during the dry seasons.
It seems gentle.

While it's nice that you can just wash it off with water, it also means the staying power is not that strong.
I got really lazy and found it a hassle to reapply it...

This is my second time using it!
It's moisturizing and not irritating at all.
It's so gentle that you can just wash it off with water!
It gives a nice, subtle brightening effect.
