Pros

This sunscreen has been my go-to and holy grail sunscreen...(but it's currently discontinued) I've tried various sunscreens without any harmful ingredients or pore-clogging components, but strangely, I would get small bumps or whiteheads on my skin. Uniquely, this sunscreen didn't cause any breakouts at all, and even when I applied it thickly, it didn't feel sticky or suffocating in the least! There is some white cast, but as someone who only uses sunscreen for skin makeup, the white cast is just right. However, it lacks coverage, so a concealer is a must for dark circles.

Cons

It said 'waterproof' on the back, but it doesn't seem to be at all..Over time, it gets oily on my face + mask moisture causes it to slide and break down..But it's still good to reapply since it doesn't clog pores and isn't stuffy This is truly my holy grail sunscreen, so why did they have to discontinue it?!

Pros

It has a moisturizing and smooth application, with no whitening effect, but it does brighten the skin tone after application. It also blends well with basic makeup products (such as foundation).

Cons

I've been using sunscreen for about 15 years, and I've never found one that doesn't cause me breakouts. This product is no exception, although the breakouts are not too severe.

Pros

I only used it once, so I didn't really feel the benefits much... But it was good that there was no white cast.

Cons

After using it, I went out, and after about 1-2 hours, my face started to itch. At first, I thought it was just because of the heat, but when I looked in the mirror, my entire face was covered in bumpy hives.. ㅠㅠ I do have sensitive skin and am prone to sunscreen allergies. I'm not sure exactly which ingredient caused the reaction... So I bought the Avène product from the pharmacy, but on the day I bought it, my face broke out in hives all over, and I'm so upset about it ㅠㅠ If you also have sensitive skin, please do a patch test before using it!

Pros

It felt quite refreshing, and it didn't seem as sticky as other sunscreens.

Cons

When I first applied it, it stung a little, but after using it for a day or two, the stinging sensation went away.

Tip

At first, it may feel a bit irritating, but as you apply it, that feeling goes away, and it doesn't feel sticky at all, which was great.

Pros

The product had a smooth and fluffy finish, and there was no visible white cast, which I liked.

Cons

My skin is sensitive and prone to redness, and it can feel slightly dry. While it applies smoothly, it may feel a bit too lightweight, bordering on drying.

Pros

I used the sample I received a while ago and loved it so much that I bought it! First of all, the UV protection index is of course excellent, and the application is incredibly smooth. There's also a slight toning effect, so this sunscreen alone is perfect for light outings.

Cons

I personally didn't have any issues, but those with extremely oily skin might want to test it out first before purchasing.

Pros

I've been using the same product for 3 bottles now, as recommended by an Olive Young employee. It doesn't have much of a scent and is hygienic to use since it's a squeeze-type. It whitens my skin to an appropriate degree and doesn't cause any breakouts, so I'm satisfied with it. The amount is also manageable.

Cons

After application, it seems to give a glossy finish...? I did like that it's a dry formula, but the tightness goes away and there's a bit of an oily feeling, though not to the point of excess. And the glossy, oily look requires blotting paper. My makeup also seems to slide off a bit, and my flaky skin is still noticeable.

Tip

There seem to be many alternatives to replace this sunscreen.

Pros

The advantage is that the ingredients are gentle. That's an obvious point, but it also has good UV protection.

Cons

It's quite oily... It's shiny and greasy. When I apply this and do my makeup, it cakes up.
