Make sure to shake the product well before use. For your skincare routine before applying this, use products that are hydrating but not oily.

The texture doesn't seem suitable for reapplication. In bright sunlight, you might need to mix it with organic sunscreen or apply it over a mineral sunscreen for better protection.

This product made me question the concept of clean beauty. Despite its not-so-impressive ingredients, it doesn't cause any blemishes even after 8-10 hours of wear. It makes my skin look amazing after application. However, if you apply too much, it can pill and leave finger marks when touched. It's also quite rich, so you need to apply it in thin layers.

Dry skin might find it a bit dehydrating. Just a heads up!

Great sunscreen for oily skin types. It's a solid choice.

I bought this as a 1+1 deal on a department store website, but you really need to time it right. Honestly, paying around $50 per tube is a bit much...

While it's hard to find mineral sunscreens with severe white cast these days, this product leaves an extremely noticeable white cast. It's so intense that it makes me question how other SPF50/PA++++ products achieve their ratings without such a strong white cast. I understand it's unavoidable due to its high protection, but still. Also, mineral sunscreen ingredients tend to be drying, so they've made this very oily to compensate. As a result, it's quite greasy and transfers easily. The texture and white cast aren't to my liking, so I'm considering compromising with a PA+++ mineral sunscreen instead. However, among easily available foreign products, this is the only mineral PA++++ sunscreen, so I'm torn. That's why I'm giving it 4 stars!

First off, I love how effective the sun protection is. I used it before the rainy season when the sun was strong, and it prevented sunburn perfectly. As someone who's skeptical of Korean sunscreens, I was looking for a mineral sunscreen among foreign brands. It's surprisingly hard to find a mineral sunscreen with PA++++. Despite being a mineral sunscreen, it doesn't dry out my skin. It feels like it's packed with oils, making it easier to cleanse compared to other mineral sunscreens. I think it'll be perfectly suitable for winter use too.

While I appreciate that it's a mineral sunscreen, the lack of coverage is disappointing as it doesn't offer much color correction.

It's great for acne-prone, sensitive skin - non-irritating, provides excellent sun protection, and spreads smoothly for easy application.

I wish the price was a bit more budget-friendly, but there's really no substitute for this product.

As someone with oily, sensitive skin, this is the only sunscreen that doesn't cause blemishes for me.

When mask-wearing became necessary, managing my blemishes became challenging, leading me to discontinue use. While there were multiple factors, the most significant issue was the development of inflammatory acne.

As someone with sensitive skin, I've always avoided products with oils and have been using Clinique since I was young. Although I had to stop using it when my blemishes worsened with mask-wearing, I was always satisfied with this product. It had just the right amount of richness, making my skin look great and my makeup apply beautifully. Even as my makeup wore off, it faded gracefully. The sunscreen effect was also excellent, so I didn't have to worry about freckles or other sun damage.

It feels a bit rich on the skin. The amount is somewhat small, and it seems difficult to get the last bit out of the container.

Great for dry, sensitive skin without causing blemishes. It brightens the complexion, so it's perfect to use on its own.

If you prefer a water-like texture, you might find this a bit thick.

It absorbs well and doesn't pill! It's also quite easy to wash off.

It makes my skin too oily and causes darkening, making my complexion look dull. While the minimal white cast is generally a plus, for me it's a drawback. When I wear this alone, I find the tone correction isn't strong enough, which is disappointing.

For a mineral sunscreen, it applies incredibly smoothly and doesn't leave a significant white cast.

Perhaps because I've been applying more due to the intense UV rays lately, there's a bit of a white cast.

My skin is prone to serious blemishes if I use sunscreen incorrectly. That's why I'm usually hesitant to apply sunscreen, but I use this one daily. It doesn't cause any breakouts and works perfectly for me.

Since it only uses mineral sunscreen, it's hard to find 100% mineral sunscreen, and I bought it thinking Clinique would be gentle.

1. I thought it would apply matte like Innisfree, but my skin looks shiny.
2. After a while, my face starts to feel slightly itchy.
3. The tone-up effect is too strong, making it look unnatural.
It might look more natural on very fair skin, though.
4. It pills. I usually apply an amount the size of my index fingernail, but after applying it all, it pills and accentuates flaky skin.

I've been trying various mineral sunscreens to replace the difficult Innisfree cleansing, but this one is a failure.

The texture is smooth and spreadable, likely due to its fluid consistency.
It also seems to be fragrance-free, so there should be no strong opinions on the scent.

The price is diabolical compared to the quantity ㅠㅠ
My face gets itchy sometimes, and when I scratch it, the sunscreen gets smeared, leaving white marks behind

It blends in beautifully and shines like natural light
A natural-looking tone-up!
