Pros
The sun protection is definitely strong, which is great. I used it before the rainy season when checking the sun, and it didn't cause any sunburns, which was nice. As someone who is skeptical of domestic sunscreens, I was looking for a mineral sunscreen among foreign products, but it's surprisingly hard to find mineral sunscreens with PA++++. This mineral sunscreen is not drying at all. The oily feel makes it easy to wash off compared to other mineral sunscreen products. I think it will be suitable for use even in the winter.
Cons
These days, it's hard to find other mineral sunscreen products with such severe white cast, but this product has a very severe white cast. It makes me doubt how other products with SPF50/PA++++ managed to achieve those numbers, the white cast is that severe. I understand that it's an inevitable part of the strong protection. And since mineral sunscreen ingredients are inevitably drying, they've made this one very oily to compensate for that. So there's quite a bit of greasiness and transfer. The texture and white cast aren't to my liking, so I'll probably look for another mineral sunscreen product and compromise with PA+++. But among the foreign products that are easily available, this seems to be the only one with PA++++, so it's a bit of a dilemma. 4 stars!
Tip
I purchased this from a department store website during a 1+1 promotion, but the timing has to be right. Honestly, around 50,000 won per bottle is a bit steep...

Pros
The five bottles seemed a bit bitter. However, this product is very sensitive, and there were many products that did not suit my skin, which is prone to breakouts. The application was smooth and it spread well. It was not dry and felt very moisturizing, so it was a good product to use in the winter.
Cons
It was all good, but there was a lot of oiliness, so while it was good for the winter, in the middle of summer it felt a bit too greasy and didn't suit me. The price was also too high, so I took off one star.
Tip
I recommend this to people with sensitive skin who have trouble using sunscreen. For those who find mineral sunscreens too drying, this could be a good option. The one I used was the white-colored version.

Pros
The product has excellent moisture, so it spreads very thinly and evenly. Even after application, there is no tightness and it remains hydrated, which is why I've been using this product for years. When applied, it gives a shimmering, glowing effect on the skin, so I highly recommend it for those who love a dewy makeup look.
Cons
Due to the dewy, moisturizing effect, the product may cause the hair to stick to the face, and there may be a slightly oily feeling. Therefore, it is more recommended for dry skin types rather than oily skin.

Pros
At first, I used Kiehl's sunscreen, but it seemed too oily and didn't suit me, so I switched to Lancôme's sunscreen. This one has great spreadability and moisturizing power, but after a few hours, the oil content becomes too high. So I've tried this new product! But this one naturally brightens my skin tone and leaves a slightly dewy, glowy finish on my skin. And it seems to suit me well, so I'm using it well. The ingredients also seem pretty good for a sunscreen.
Cons
But the fact that you have to shake it before using can be a bit annoying. And if you don't apply it evenly, it can clump up and leave white patches. You have to spread it out thinly and broadly. Also, it seems like the oiliness comes back after an hour or two, which is a shame. It doesn't seem to be the oil-free sunscreen I'm looking for. But it's still a good product!

Pros
I've been using this sunblock for years. The best thing is that there is no makeup smudging or dryness on the skin when used before makeup. There is no oiliness during use and I have not had any skin troubles. This is my lifelong sunblock. But it's often sold out, making it difficult to purchase. It's a sheer color. Please don't discontinue it....
Cons
Except for the frequent sellouts, there's nothing bad about it. I just hope it doesn't get discontinued...
Tip
Those with sensitive skin should just go ahead and buy it~^^

Pros
The best part was that even though it was a physical sunscreen, I didn't feel any dryness or tightness on my skin!!! As soon as I applied it, I felt like this sunscreen was a whole new world. I have sensitive and dry skin, so chemical sunscreens cause my skin to react badly, and the Make Prem sun fluid makes my skin extremely dry. (In fact, the Make Prem products themselves are too drying, so I only use them on my body.) This sunscreen was the result of a lot of research and ingredient study, and I'm really glad I found it because: 1. It solved the dryness problem that is usually an issue with physical sunscreens. 2. The formula is lightweight and spreads easily with just a small amount. 3. It provides a nice tone-up effect without the white cast or flaky residue that often occurs with other physical sunscreens. 4. Even though it's a physical sunscreen, it doesn't leave a powdery finish like the Etude House Airy Finish, and the solution doesn't separate without shaking, which I found very satisfactory.
Cons
The high moisturizing properties of this sunscreen mean I often apply it before blow-drying my hair to prevent skin irritation. However, unlike other physical sunscreens I've used that become powdery quickly, this product tends to make my hair stick to my skin, which is a downside. As someone with dry skin, I've been using this product a lot during the transitional seasons, but I think it might feel a bit oily for me in the summer. However, the other physical sunscreens I've used in the summer left my skin feeling very dry, even after applying a generous amount of moisturizer, and I would still get flaky skin around my nose and between my brows, so I plan to keep using this one. The price of 49,000 won caught me by surprise at first, but given how well this product suits my skin's needs, I'm 100% willing to repurchase it.
Tip
The mini size, which is about the size of two finger joints, is quite small compared to the 49,000 won price tag. Sunscreens are a one-time use product, so it would get used up quite quickly at that price point. I'd strongly recommend searching online and taking advantage of any discounts to try to get it in the 30,000 won range. That would make it much less painful to purchase. For those who find the product a bit oily, I suggest lightly patting on some powder, powder foundation, or shading around the hairline, nose sides, brow area, and sideburns after applying the sunscreen. If you just apply the sunscreen without that extra step, the powder/shading can get wiped away along with the sunscreen.

Pros
I had previously settled on this product as I am sensitive to organic sunscreen ingredients and struggled with contact dermatitis and skin troubles. When I first purchased it, there was hardly any inorganic sunscreen, and even the ones that did exist were usually too drying for my severely dry skin. But this one is not drying at all and works great for me.
Cons
I'm not sure, but it seems the product has been discontinued or is being produced in limited quantities for the past few years, as many stores have reported being out of stock. Whenever I see Clinique, I go and look for it, and last year I was able to find and stock up on a few while at a duty-free shop in Spain.

Pros
It's a physical sunscreen, but it doesn't feel dry and applies smoothly. There is a slight whitening effect, but it improves over time. Most importantly, it's gentle and doesn't sting the eyes.
Cons
I usually buy lotions or cosmetics once every 6 months or a year, but this product is used up in just two months. 😢 The amount is too little, and it's very difficult to shake and use. It feels thicker than Shiseido.
Tip
You have to apply it in small amounts multiple times. It's not completely oil-free, so if you apply too much, it can clump and feel greasy.

Pros
I purchased the most reliable and trustworthy over-the-counter product. It does cause quite a bit of white cast and is a bit oily, but it serves as a good base and doesn't make my makeup feel too heavy. I started using this product when my skin condition was at its worst, and since then, I've noticed my skin gradually improving. It seems like a decent product even for troubled skin.
Cons
The downside is the small size. It felt like it only lasted about a month, and then it was gone. I also wouldn't recommend this to those who prefer a more refreshing finish.
