But wow, it was like discovering a whole new world! The IPPO sunscreen is incredibly hydrating without feeling heavy at all. It's amazing how this sunscreen feels even better than my regular skincare products! I use it almost daily and haven't experienced any blemishes.
ConsThe price is a bit disappointing. While it's relatively affordable for an aesthetic product, it's still a bit pricey for daily use.

I love how the lightweight texture spreads smoothly when applied with hands. Even when used on arms or legs, it absorbs nicely without feeling too sticky. I apply it after my skincare routine and before makeup, and with just a light application, it doesn't cause my foundation to pill. Although it's a white cream, there's no white cast, so it's convenient as I don't need to do any additional complexion correction. I've been using it for about a week and haven't experienced any blemishes.
ConsI've heard you should apply sunscreen in an amount equal to a 500 won coin, and while I don't use quite that much, I do try to apply generously. However, with this product, a generous application leads to white clumping... So I end up applying just a little, which makes me feel like I'm not getting enough sun protection. Also, if you apply too much, it can look oily, especially in the T-zone and around the nose, making it appear like excess oil is flowing. This happens even though I have dry skin with severe atopic dermatitis...
TipIt's best to apply it in small amounts, making sure it doesn't clump or get caught in areas like the sides of the nose, around the jawline, or where there are baby hairs!

It didn't cause any blemishes. 2. It blocks UVB rays. I've seen many sunscreens that block UVA, but this is the first one I've encountered that also protects against UVB. 3. Moderate brightening effect It doesn't make you look unnaturally white, but rather gives a natural brightening effect that's slightly lighter than your original complexion.
Cons1. The price A shocking 42,000 won for 50ml... I don't think I could buy it with my own money. 2. It's a bit rich. When I apply a lot and put makeup on top, it tends to cause pilling or separation. Also, applying too much feels heavy on the skin.

It applies smoothly like a real moisturizer, with great absorption. While I mentioned the excess richness as a downside below, I'm pleased that despite its high oil content, it doesn't cause any blemishes!
ConsIt's really too rich... Now that summer's here, I think this might be better suited for winter use. Also, something seems off because occasionally when I squeeze it out, the product separates and oil comes out first, which makes me a bit uneasy.
TipI apply it in a thin layer...

Personally, I'm not a fan of overly thick formulas, but this one has an emulsion-like texture that applies smoothly and feels hydrating. The ingredients seem fine, and it's free from chemical preservatives, which is reassuring. Fortunately, I haven't experienced any blemishes while using it. To be honest, there might be a tiny bit of white cast, but it's minimal, making it satisfactory for everyday use.
ConsThe scent isn't quite to my liking. Also, considering there are many great sunscreens available at this price point, I find the price slightly disappointing compared to its performance and feel.

The best thing about this sunscreen is its excellent ingredients. It's really hard to find a sunscreen with good ingredients, but this one doesn't contain any potentially harmful components. I've used it for about 6 days and haven't experienced any blemishes. (My skin usually reacts quickly when I change products, but this sunscreen seems to suit my skin well!) Despite being a mineral sunscreen, I was surprised that it didn't leave a white cast. I have a darker complexion (I'm a full 22 in Korean foundation shades), but the white cast isn't noticeable. It does slightly brighten the skin, but it's more of a subtle skin tone correction rather than the effect you'd get from a brightening moisturizer. I really like this! If you're not a fan of white cast but want a mineral sunscreen, this one might be perfect for you.
ConsAs someone with oily skin, I prefer sunscreens that leave a matte finish. However, as you can see in the photo, this sunscreen leaves a shiny finish. Even after applying powder and makeup, I noticed my skin became oily faster than usual. It's not excessively greasy, but when you touch your skin after applying the sunscreen, it feels slightly tacky. Your opinion on this might vary depending on your preferred skin finish (those who like a dewy look might enjoy it). I also believe it's crucial to apply the correct amount of sunscreen (about two finger-lengths for the entire face, right? I'm as worried about skin cancer as I am about skin irritation). On the first day, when I applied the full amount at once, the sunscreen started to pill. This might be due to my oily skin. From the next day, I started applying half the amount, waiting a bit, then applying the other half. This definitely reduced the pilling, but it might be a bit of a hassle every morning!
TipI'm certain that once I finish this product, I'll either go back to my previous sunscreen or look for a different one! It's not because it causes blemishes or anything, it just doesn't suit my skin type or makeup preferences. As someone with oily skin who experiences makeup breakdown without touch-ups, I'm not a fan of sunscreens that leave a shiny finish. I prefer a matte look over a dewy one. The pilling issue is also a significant drawback. It's hard to start applying makeup before the sunscreen is fully absorbed, and having to apply it in two stages is inconvenient and increases my overall preparation time before going out! So, if you have oily skin and don't want to spend too much time on your makeup routine, I'd recommend a different sunscreen. However, if you have dry skin, this might work well for you! Anyway, I enjoyed being part of the Hwahae Testers! I hope my review helps you a bit in choosing your sunscreen!

As you can see in the photo, it doesn't provide any coverage, but it does give a subtle, luminous glow when applied~ The scent is not overpowering, just a light, pleasant fragrance! It leaves the skin feeling hydrated with a dewy finish, so when applied before your cushion foundation, you get that coveted 'glass skin' effect.
ConsThe finish isn't exactly matte, unfortunately. While it's not sticky, it does leave a slightly rich feel on the skin.

It seemed to be a perfect match for me, mainly because it contains Arctic glacier water, which is ideal for my sensitive skin. One of its major advantages is that it doesn't cause any blemishes. Unlike most sunscreens I've tried that feel sticky and don't finish well, this one leaves my skin feeling fresh and powdery soft, which I love. As someone who's sensitive to scents, I really appreciated that this product is fragrance-free. There's absolutely no white cast, and it actually gives my complexion a lively, healthy glow.
ConsThe only slight downside I found was that the cap was a bit difficult to twist open. Other than that, I can't think of any negatives.
TipFor best results, apply this after your moisturizer or emulsion!
