The application is smooth and moisturizing, like a lotion. There seems to be a slight whitening effect, but it's not overly burdensome and provides a nice tone-up. It's a great product to use as a base without any concerns.
ConsThe smooth application like a lotion makes me slightly worried about its sunscreen effectiveness, and it gets used up faster than expected. If you only use sunscreen, this product alone may not be sufficient.
TipUsing this as a base and applying another product on top works well, as using just this sunscreen alone may be a bit challenging. Considering it as a lotion-like base, this is a good product.

I bought it because the ingredients are gentle and the price is too good to pass up. The application is smooth and there's no eye irritation.
ConsApart from the low price... I keep getting breakouts. I tried switching to other products, but the problem seems to be this sunscreen. I used it again today and got pimples right away in the evening. The Madecassoside line foaming cleanser also doesn't seem to agree with me.

There is nothing else to mention.
Cons1. Odor It has an odor, not a fragrance. It has the scent of bursting ginkgo nuts. When applied during poor condition, it makes me feel like I might vomit. Can a cosmetic product really have such an odor? It's to the point where people with a weak stomach should reconsider using it. 2. Granularity For the first week, I used it really well. I thought this was the sunscreen of my life, so I bought 2 more. I only use it as a sunscreen since it's makeup-free. It was that good. But from one day in the second week, the area around my nose started to sting. From the moment I applied it, I could see signs of trouble breaking out on my cheeks. I kept using it for one more week, hoping against hope, but when I looked in the evening, my cheek skin had risen. It became bumpy and swollen, and even after cleansing, it still felt hot. It's like the feeling of going outside in the winter and then coming back inside. I quickly applied a cica stick to cool the heat, but it seems I can't use it anymore. I wonder what to do with the remaining 2 bottles. It seems to be because of the PEG ingredient. Those with extreme sensitivity should consider this product carefully. 3. Flaking It is not very suitable for those who want to use it as a makeup base. I would rather recommend the Goodal Citron Tone-Up Cream. I switched to that after breaking out, but as I mentioned, I have extreme sensitivity... So if I used it well for about 2 months, most people would probably be fine with it. Anyway, to continue the story, there is a lot of oil content, so you have to powder it, but no matter how you do it, it turns whitish. It seriously flakes. The powder clumps and becomes dirty and spotty. I regretted not switching it out even though it suited me well. If you feel it doesn't suit you, you should stop using it right away.

I bought it along with a cream, but since I have oily skin, I've been continuously using only the sunscreen as it feels greasy and heavy. I think I've already gone through three tubes. The application is good - it's the right consistency that I like. When applying, it turns white for a short time, but that disappears quickly. I didn't experience any whitening or white cast.
Cons1. The scent is not great. 2. I'm not sure if it's effective for acne, but it doesn't seem to be making it worse, so I've been continuing to use it. But after checking the ingredients on Hwahae, I think I'll switch to a different product. 3. The amount feels small to me - I finish a tube without realizing it.

It applies well and doesn't cause dryness! I bought it based on a random recommendation during a 1+1 promotion, and it's become my holy grail sunscreen! I've used up 2 bottles and need to buy more, I wonder when the next 1+1 sale will be... Wearing this and then a semi-matte foundation is perfect in the winter! In the summer, a light layer of this is also great!!!
ConsThey don't do 1+1 promotions often enough... Please do them more often...
TipAs I mentioned above, for dry skin types, wearing this sunscreen and then a semi-matte foundation is a perfect combination!!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

It's not too dry or too oily, just right. I bought it on a 1+1 deal, so it was really cheap and I'm very satisfied.
ConsThe scent is a bit unpleasant. It's only noticeable when applying, but then it goes away, so it's okay.
TipI have a 100% intention to repurchase~

I used to use a daily ㅁ ㅣ ㅅ ㅑ product, but it was just too thick and stuffy, so I switched to an expensive milky product (but that was also thick...). Luckily, Apieu was having a 1+1 sale, and they were promoting the madecassoside ingredient, so I decided to order it on a whim ㅠ The result is extremely satisfactory - the application is gentle, and even after some time, the stuffy or thick feeling is significantly less than other products. I now apply it every day before going out. I've learned that mineral sunscreens can actually be moisturizing. (Is it the centella effect? ♥ There are plenty of moisturizing products out there. But it's rare to find one that doesn't leave your skin feeling stuffy or dry over time. The price is also incredibly affordable, especially during sales, so I'd recommend this to daily users, students, and anyone looking for a great value.
ConsHmm.. it doesn't feel stuffy or clogged, but it's a bit too oily, maybe because of the madecassoside ingredient or the 40% centella content. It wipes off easily and has a tendency to slide around, so for someone like me who always applies the full recommended amount of sunscreen, it was a bit tricky to work with. About 8 hours after application, the oil just comes gushing back. I ordered it during the winter when my skin was very dry and tight, so I was satisfied with it then. But now in early summer, it's a bit too much for my skin. I'd recommend this more for dry skin types in the winter, rather than oily skin in the spring and summer.
TipIf you apply the full recommended amount, it will 100% slide around and leave a mess if you don't blot it. The best way is to gently massage it in (patting will cause it to pill) and build up the layers. A couple of oil blotting sheets in the afternoon should take care of the oil breakthrough.

ConsThe volume is small I wish the UV protection level was stronger It's too moisturizing while applying, so I wonder if it won't be easily wiped off by sweat in the summer, and if the UV protection will be effective
TipIt seems good for those with dry skin, but if you have oily skin, you'll need to powder it It would be great to use in the middle of winter when it's very moisturizing

The price is also reasonable. Even with mineral ingredients, there is no white cast and the application is good There is also no pore clogging when using mineral sunscreen It's not greasy
ConsThe protection factor is low, perhaps because the ingredients are gentle and it can't be increased. But it's fine for daily use, so it's not a major drawback.
TipThe nozzle is pointed, so it's easy to apply. Dot dot dot dot on the face and then rub in~ There's almost no white cast, the ingredients are gentle, it's mild on the skin, and it's not drying - everything is good.

Without any white cast, it has just the right amount of moisturizing and refreshing finish. There's no oiliness or stickiness typical of sunscreens, so I keep repurchasing this as my daily essential! The entire Madeca line is great!
ConsEven though there are pimples, I would give it 5 stars if I could ㅠ It would still be a great product even without them :)
TipWhen it's on sale for half off, you can get it for half the half price by using a coupon from social media!
