Pros
First of all, since my skin type is dry and oily, I usually don't like to apply sunscreen because it feels sticky. Instead, I use foundation or cushion products with UV protection, and I really liked that they didn't feel sticky at all!! Moreover, there was no white cast, so it just expressed my natural skin tone like I had just applied lotion, and I felt it was great that I could use it before my regular makeup without any issues.
Cons
However, the downside is that it feels like it's sliding off when I apply it... I've never had that experience with sunscreen before. You might think it's a basic problem, but I applied my usual skin lotion and didn't have any sliding issues even after applying foundation. But after finishing my skincare routine and applying the sunscreen, the sliding phenomenon occurred, and I was quite surprised. I think it's because the oil control and primer-like function of the sunscreen is blocking my pores, so if I apply too much, it starts to slide.
Tip
I found that using just sunscreen and concealer for my makeup routine reduces the sliding issue!!

Pros
It's not sticky and feels fluffy. I liked that it didn't turn white when I applied it.
Cons
I used it for about a year, but at some point, it started to peel off like flakes and visible flakes started to appear. Even after exfoliating and moisturizing sufficiently, it's still like that, so I'm going to switch to a different product.

Pros
Light. Refreshing. Moisturizing. Oil-free. More fluid than a lotion, truly a serum-like formula.
Cons
It just slides off, slides off. The makeup just slides off like a layer of grime.
Tip
I only applied it to my dry cheeks.

Pros
This is really great! Whitening - Zero! There's none at all. Oiliness - At first, there's a bit of oiliness, but once it's all absorbed, it becomes nice and smooth~ Stickiness - There's absolutely none!! Heaviness - It hardly feels heavy at all. Eye irritation - None at all~ Moisture - Fully moisturized! Smooth on the outside, yet supple and hydrated! It's 16,900 won for a 30ml bottle, I think it was at Lohbs? It's currently on sale.
Cons
When I use it with the Peach & Sake Pore Pack, there seems to be some kind of residue that comes out ㅜㅜ

Pros
The good thing was that I applied sunscreen, but it felt like I didn't apply it. It's very light and not sticky at all.
Cons
The ingredients are not great. It's like a pimple bomb. After applying the sunscreen and rubbing my face, it came off like dirt. Terrible. I couldn't even apply makeup on top of it.

Pros
First, it has a high SPF. Compared to other sunscreen products I have at home, this one has the highest SPF. It also has a slim packaging. It's thin and elongated, making it easy to carry in a pouch. There's no white cast either. (This seems to be because the product is a chemical sunscreen, not a physical one.) It applies thinly. And it doesn't feel greasy and absorbs quickly. (This was the best part for me.) Personally, I liked that it doesn't have an artificial or irritating fragrance!
Cons
Ugh...it pills up sometimes. Since my skin type is oily, when I applied it after just a basic skincare routine (toner, moisturizer), it started pilling up. And the cost-effectiveness is low... The 30ml size is not very affordable. (Nowadays, drugstores are having a lot of 1+1 promotions.)
Tip
1. For those of us with oily skin like mine, applying it after a very simple skincare routine and letting it absorb fully can help prevent the pilling issue. 2. Even though it's marketed as oil-control and for oily skin (was it just me?), I think it could actually work well for dry skin too. When I tried it on my dry skin, it absorbed quickly and smoothly without any pilling.

Pros
The packaging is conveniently shaped like a container, which is a plus for a sunscreen product that requires reapplication. The touted 'oil control' function also seems to be a benefit, as it can help absorb excess oil for those with oily or shiny skin types.
Cons
First, there is an issue with pilling. Even when applying the same amount and allowing for proper absorption as with my previous sunscreen, the next makeup layer ends up sliding and peeling off. It seems I'm not the only one experiencing this. Secondly, the ingredients are a major concern. The product was introduced as suitable for sensitive skin, but I don't understand how they could use such a combination of ingredients. As a sunscreen, it apparently triggers a reaction that can cause cancer when exposed to sunlight, so I don't think I can even use it on my body.
Tip
I had high expectations after being selected as a Hwahae Trial Reviewer, but I was greatly disappointed by the ingredients even before using the product. As soon as I saw the cancer-causing component, I was shocked. The usage experience wasn't terribly bad, but it wasn't good either. I'd be better off sticking to my usual product. Nivea will need to be more mindful of their ingredient selection going forward.

Pros
Here is a Hwahae Trial Reviewer review from winning an event. - The fragrance is not unpleasant after applying it all. - The feeling when applying and after applying is quite light. It even feels a bit cooling... There is no greasiness at all as described.
Cons
Except for those two, the rest can be considered as disappointments... - Even if you rub it just a little after applying, it immediately comes off like a stain. This is the first time I've seen a cosmetic product come off so severely! - The ingredients are the worst: avobenzone. It's meant for UV protection, but reacting with sunlight generates reactive oxygen species??? If they had just removed the avobenzone and released it as a makeup base, it would have been better... - The smell is unpleasant when applying, but it's fine after applying. This is understandable since there are no fragrances... Putting everything else aside, because of the avobenzone, I'm afraid to continue using it. I don't understand why they use this ingredient. It's quite disappointing.

Pros
A small amount of this sunscreen applies well without feeling greasy. And when I use sunscreen, there's usually a tendency for it to feel heavy, but this one applies smoothly without that issue.
Cons
If you apply even a little bit too much, it just slides right off like a mask. When I used a lot and then applied foundation, it all just slid off in a mask-like way, which really flustered me. Controlling the amount is essential.
Tip
Use just a small amount

Pros
- The finish is very refreshing and leaves no residue, which is very good for oily skin - There is absolutely no white cast. While I'm not sure about the differences between organic and inorganic sunscreens, since they said that white cast is a sign of inorganic sunscreens, I think this product must be organic
Cons
- After checking the ingredients, some of the top ones seem a bit concerning. It doesn't seem to be very good for sun protection, but I'm not sure if the ingredients used are still safe to use as a sunscreen - When applying the proper amount, it tends to slide off like a mask - The price-to-volume ratio is extremely low. I received a 15ml sample through a raffle and even with just testing use, it was used up very quickly
Tip
- I would recommend using this product on its own (not with cushion or BB creams)
