I'm not overly sensitive, but as I have combination skin, sunscreens tend to make me feel heavy, so I only use it in the summer when UV exposure is high. My skin somehow became sensitive, and when I applied my usual sunscreen, it completely backfired. Severe redness, pore-clogging acne, and a burning sensation that lasted over a week before finally subsiding. So I switched to the gentle sunscreen my nieces use, but it still caused issues. I endured a month of no makeup, just aloe soothing and organic creams, wearing a hat everywhere, and finally started using this product again. Of all the products, this is the gentlest, so I can use it with confidence. It doesn't leave a white cast and brightens my complexion nicely. After my skin troubles, I've become extremely sensitive, so I avoid makeup as much as possible, and this is the only product I trust to use.
ConsAs a matte-finish product, it can be drying, even for my combination skin, in the winter. The coverage is minimal, so I almost thought it wouldn't apply well. This may be partly due to the puff not being great. But in spring, fall, and summer, this is a strength, as it's less sticky and has a nice, natural matte finish.
TipSince this is a collaboration product, it's difficult to repurchase, especially the shade 13, which is constantly sold out. The refills are completely out of stock, so I'll have to hunt for the full-size product or switch to a different one. The Bambicollection Micro Foam Cushion seems to have different ingredients and twice the amount of potentially harmful substances compared to other products, so it doesn't stand out.

I'm also glad that it didn't cause any breakouts. It does have some downsides, but I think I'll stick with it! And the case is so cute ㅜㅜ When my skin is in good condition, it gives me that glowing, healthy look. + I don't know how I'd live without this... It's a must-have, and it's not being discontinued!!
ConsI'm in shade 13, but it gives more of a bright 21 tone! There's also some darkening. The oil comes through, so I have to powder every 4 hours. There's some patchiness too. The coverage is on the lighter side.
TipThe built-in puff is for decorative purposes only.

It even had a slight darkening effect, so by the afternoon, my face would look quite dull. So I purchased the #13 shade instead. When applied, it does feel quite bright, but considering the darkening effect, it seems to be a good fit. I also have slightly oily skin (not fully oily, more combination), and I found that the product applies nicely - it's hydrating, but the finish is lightly powdery, which I like. The coverage is... hmm, it covers freckles and blemishes well, but it doesn't really conceal things like acne or dark circles. Since it's a hydrating product, the coverage isn't super heavy. But as my skin gets a bit oily later on, it actually looks better and I just use a bit of concealer to cover what's needed.
ConsThe weaker coverage is a bit of a downside, and I didn't anticipate the #21 shade would darken so much to match my skin tone exactly. If there was no darkening, it would have been fine, but with the darkening, my skin looked quite dull. On the other hand, the #13 is a bright pinky beige, so it feels like there's no in-between. Oh, and it does have a slight cakiness, but a little touch-up fixes that, and then it wears beautifully, so I can overlook that.
TipThose with extremely dry skin may find it a bit matte. And if you're worried about the matte finish, adding too many base products can cause it to cling. Hmm, what to do... I'd recommend using an appropriate skincare routine and applying the product in thin, multiple layers rather than one heavy application. And using a finely-milled powder just on the surface can help it not cling to any flyaways and make the makeup last well.

However, this can vary from person to person, so don't just buy it thinking "Oh, it didn't cause any breakouts for them, so I should get it!" - please just use this as a reference. The coverage is medium-to-light. Acne scars and enlarged pores are slightly concealed, but just a little. Even after a few layers, the coverage seems to be similar, so it might be difficult to expect high coverage. Due to this, the cushion looks very natural even after application. The adhesion is medium-to-high. I think it's good. When it first touches the skin, it feels cool and moisturizing, and there's a slight tackiness left after full application, but it's much better than other cushions. The application seems to be good, perhaps because it's a cushion product and you just need to dab it on. Even though I have quite a bit of dryness, it doesn't emphasize the flakiness too much. The biggest advantage of this product is that it makes the skin tone look very radiant. The #13 shade, which is a pink-beige, looks bright and glowy. If you have a fairer skin tone but with yellow undertones, I'd recommend the #21 shade. Even though I'm not too yellow-toned, the shade is quite bright compared to my neck area.
ConsFirst, the coverage is quite disappointing. Even though the ads and reviews made it seem decent, it's really not the case. Those with a lot of scarring or acne who want heavy coverage will need to look for a different product. However, if you only need light to medium coverage or have relatively good skin, I can still recommend this. Secondly, it tends to break down over time. It could be just my skin type, but after application, it starts to look very cakey and emphasized as time passes. When I first put it on, it looks seamless, but later on, it looks like I have a thick layer of makeup on, which is not the ideal look. This may be because I don't touch up my makeup often, but it's something to keep in mind. Thirdly, it gets quite oily. Even though it's not an extremely dewy finish right after application, the oil does start to come through quite a bit as the hours go by. So those with oily skin may need to powder or blot more frequently.
TipI would recommend this cushion for those with combination to oily skin types. For those with dry skin, I would suggest the white version instead of the mint one. I would recommend this product to those who don't want their makeup to look obvious and prefer a more natural finish. ☆If you are looking for heavy coverage, I would advise you to pass on this product.
