Brightening Effect - Even though I don't have severe whitening, the natural brightening effect felt good due to individual differences. 2. No Oily Feeling - There is no way for sunscreen to have absolutely no oily feeling, but this one has a non-sticky finish. Highly recommended for oily skin types! 3. High SPF - Great for outdoor activities not just in winter, but also in spring and summer!
Cons1. Has a somewhat rubbery(?) scent... It's not unpleasant, but the smell itself is not very pleasant. 2. Pilling... Sometimes you can see clumps of leftover sunscreen on the face, and when you apply makeup on top, you can feel it pilling. 3. Doesn't Absorb Well - It's gentle and oil-free, which is good, but it doesn't absorb well and leaves a lingering feeling.

And there's one PEG, but the ingredients seem fine The tube packaging color is so pretty This was a good sunscreen for me, a dry-skinned person When I go out for a quick walk around the neighborhood, it provides a nice tone-up and UV protection
ConsOn the brand's website, it's available for around 17,000 won with a 10% discount, but in my opinion, anything over 15,000 won is a bit pricey I think it's slightly overpriced There is some pilling when I apply additional layers It also gets cakey But it can't be helped since it has a high mineral sunscreen content!
TipThose who used to use organic sunscreens may find this inconvenient But those who used mineral sunscreens before will be able to use this well +A tip to avoid pilling when applying additional layers is I don't layer this on top, but instead use a cushion to apply it Applying it with a cushion results in almost no pilling When first applied, there is a slight glow, but it disappears in 15-30 minutes

When I first used it, I mistook the sun lotion for regular lotion and applied it all over my face, and I was surprised to see my face become so pale. It definitely brightens the complexion. On my skin, it gives a more natural tone-up effect compared to the pink-toned sun creams, and I'm satisfied with that. The application was also satisfactory to me personally. I've tried the tone-up products from Cha & Park, Dr. G, and other famous sun creams, but this one applied the best. I could apply it well even without looking in the mirror. (I have a history of slathering it all over my hands when I mistook it for lotion.) And the lasting power is good. I was out for 8 hours after applying this (and faced strong winds), but my complexion was still maintained to some extent. So I'm very satisfied with it.
ConsIf you don't control the amount, your face can become unnaturally pale. And since the tone-up effect is quite strong, if you apply foundation on top, your face can become one or two shades lighter than your usual complexion. If you already use a foundation that is a half or one shade lighter, I absolutely do not recommend this product.

It provides a moderate tone-up effect rather than a stark whitening. The formula is not too thin or thick, and it does not feel heavy or sticky after application. It leaves a refreshing finish. The price is not burdensome. The amount you get is quite good for the price. It is relatively gentle. It does not have the typical sunscreen scent.
ConsEven though the formula has moisture, it feels slightly drying upon application. It has a tendency to clump if you apply multiple layers. It provides no coverage. It is too drying to use as a base before makeup. After applying it, the cushion or foundation I used on top ended up peeling off. It becomes uneven and patchy.
TipApply in thin, multiple layers.

It allows me to achieve a naturally radiant complexion. In that aspect, I felt significant satisfaction with this product. It doesn't appear chalky or unnatural, and the tone-up effect was so good that I could even use it as a base substitute! ⛤ Excellent Adhesion Typically, the combination of mineral sunscreen and foundation doesn't work well. However, this product seems to be a blend of mineral and organic sunscreens... And that's why when I apply this product and then foundation, I get a seamless, adhered finish. I've tried various foundations while using this product, and they all applied smoothly with good staying power. Satisfied! ⛤ No Eye Irritation or Discomfort Among sunscreen products, many contain ethyl ingredients that can cause eye irritation. But this product didn't cause any eye discomfort whatsoever. Since the sun protection factor isn't extremely high, it didn't irritate my skin or cause any breakouts either! ⛤ Smooth Application The application may be a matter of personal preference, but I liked it. It has a sorbet-like texture, so you need to apply it in small amounts and spread it evenly. Rubbing it between your palms is not recommended! I suggest squeezing it out and gently tapping and spreading it in thin layers. ⛤ Finish The finish of this product is between dewy and semi-matte. Even for my dry skin, it wasn't drying and had a nice, refreshing feel to it!
Cons⛤ The PA++ rating is a bit disappointing. I always use products with PA+++ or higher. ⛤ The presence of fragrance in the ingredients! I really dislike fragrance ㅠㅠ If they do a product renewal, please remove the fragrance~~~~ The fragrance is why I'm giving it 4 stars!
Tip⛤ Since I believe sunscreen is the most important cosmetic product, I tend to apply it quite generously. However, for products that are heavily opaque and slightly greasy, it can be quite uncomfortable to apply a lot. Not only does it make me look overly white, but it also applies thickly. So, I first apply a generous amount of an organic sunscreen with good application and no white cast, and then I lightly layer this product on top. This way, I can enjoy both the sun protection and the tone-up effect!! ⛤ Honestly, the more sunscreen you apply, the more it can slightly reduce the staying power of your foundation. So when I apply sunscreen, I also make sure to press it in perfectly with a sponge before applying foundation. Spread the sunscreen and then pat it in with a sponge!! Then apply your foundation on top. ⛤ I usually apply sunscreen to my neck and ears as well, and this product is great for that. When I apply it to my neck, it not only provides sun protection but also doesn't make my face and neck look mismatched. Don't forget to apply sunscreen to your neck and ears as well!

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.Pros★This is the 1st generation of the Hwahae Trial Reviewers★ • Tone Correction + Redness Coverage (Refer to Photo 1♥︎) If it's a sunscreen, there's bound to be some white cast, and while the white cast can provide a bit of tone correction, it usually can't cover redness... That's why we tend to look for green-based or color correcting products, but now it seems the era has come where sunscreens can also handle redness.♥︎ It's fascinating how the blue-toned color, which is in between green and purple, seems to also help neutralize yellow tones, making the skin look more even.♥︎ • Hybrid Sunscreen → Smooth Application (Refer to Photos 2,3♥︎) This is a hybrid sunscreen, combining mineral and chemical sunscreen filters. Mineral and chemical sunscreens each have their own pros and cons, so this is an ingenious product! It's comfortable on the skin but without the white cast worry of mineral sunscreens, and it applies smoothly without the eye-stinging of chemical sunscreens. Comparing it to the Apieu Mild Sunscreen (mineral) I used to use, even that had great application for a mineral sunscreen, but this one is even better. The hybrid formula is truly top-notch! • No Pilling, No Creasing (Refer to Photo 4♥︎) The harmony between base makeup and sunscreen is crucial for us who wear makeup. In fact, the issue of base makeup pilling is often due to the sunscreen, not the base itself. If that happens, try switching up your sunscreen.
Cons• Tr..ou..ble...... This was my first time using an organic sunscreen ingredient.. While there was no eye-stinging, it did irritate my sensitive skin... And that's how I ended up with a breakout... I wrote this review after calming my skin for 3 days and trying it again, but the breakout came back...ㅎ If only there was no breakout, as the makeup application and tone correction are great, but I'll have to stop using it with a heavy heart. (Last photo ㅠㅠ) • Headache-inducing Fragrance It's similar to the scent of insect repellent ㅎㅎ Seems like it can block both sunlight and mosquitoes...ㅎㅎ
Tip• Sensitive skin types should patch test before using. • Those who experience eye-stinging with organic sunscreens should also test it first. • Feel free to layer on extra for areas needing more tone correction! • Be sure to use a primary cleanser for thorough cleansing!

First of all, when I first received it, I was excited haha. When I squeezed out the sunscreen, I was really surprised to see that the color was blue. And after applying it, it feels a bit powdery and the scent is also nice. There's a bit of a whitening effect, so it evens out the skin tone naturally. Since the color is blue, this sunscreen also helps cover redness a bit. The ingredients are also good.
ConsThe reason I gave it 2 stars is because, first of all, the adhesion is not good for my dry skin type. It also stung sometimes, and the application was really bad... like applying toothpaste? The most important thing is that I broke out with pimples on my forehead after using this. I don't think I'll buy this again. It was a lot more disappointing than I expected, so I couldn't just write a short review and had to express my disappointment.

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsAs a Hwahae Trial Reviewer, here is my honest review. (Warm Tone 23 / Blemishes, Partial Redness / Combination Skin) *Texture - The texture is fluffy and resembles a rich cream. *Stickiness - When applied to the face, it becomes powdery and not at all sticky. *Spreadability - It applies smoothly and evenly. *Blemishes - I've been using it consistently since receiving it, and no new blemishes have appeared. *Effectiveness - It gives a luminous glow and effectively conceals redness. There is a slight cooling sensation. Over time, it leaves a radiant finish on the face.
Cons*Brightness - As a person with naturally darker skin, the whitening cream and mineral sunscreen make it too pale for me to use. When I tested it on the back of my hand, it was extremely bright. When applied to the face, the bluish tone makes my complexion look very sallow. Applying the full recommended amount gives a ghostly appearance. *Dryness - Once absorbed, the face feels powdery and dry. Dry-skinned individuals should be extra diligent with their skincare routine. *Fragrance - This product has a distinct scent that lingers for quite a while. Personally, I dislike it. *Makeup Application - When I apply makeup over this, it tends to peel or shift. Even with proper absorption, the same issue occurred. There was also emphasis on the pores around my nose. *Solo Use - This may work well for those with very fair skin. But for someone like me with a significantly different natural skin tone, it can look unnatural when used alone. As a sunscreen, it does not cover blemishes, pimples, or pigmentation.
TipI recommend using this product like a color corrector, applying a small amount only to the areas with redness. For full-face application, it's better to use a different sunscreen. When applied to the body, it provides a wonderful brightening effect!

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsOverall, the review is 'It's a divisive type, but I like it'. First of all, the texture is really fascinating. It has a fluffy, creamy mousse cake-like feel, and that's why the application is so smooth and blendable. The color is also very pretty, a delicate pastel blue? When applied to the face, this blue tone seems to provide a color-correcting effect. It doesn't have much coverage, but it definitely brightens the complexion and reduces redness. However, some previous reviewers mentioned that it makes the skin look too pale. But for me, since I already have a fair complexion, it didn't look unnatural at all... This is something to keep in mind. My skin type is combination, with both dryness and oiliness, but the product had a nice, balanced finish without feeling too greasy or dry. Personally, I really appreciate this balanced feel, as I often find sunscreens that feel too moist at first but then become overly drying or oily later on. There was also no stinging or pilling issues.
ConsAs many reviews pointed out, there is noticeable emphasis on pores and flaky skin. I generally don't have much trouble with skincare products, but this was an exception. Especially on the nose and nose tip areas where my pores are more prominent, the coverage seemed to accentuate them, and no matter how I tried to smooth it out, it just wouldn't cover properly, so I ended up just roughly covering it with foundation. And while it's not a dealbreaker for me, the excessive brightening effect that makes the skin look almost white could be a downside for some... After all, sunscreen should be applied generously.
TipIf you properly exfoliate and use a good moisturizer and nourishing cream regularly to manage your pores, the pore emphasis and flakiness from this product can be reduced to some degree with other oil/silicone-based sun protection products. Even though my skin is already quite fair, it made me look quite pale, so I think I'll just use it on my neck to match the tone with my face.
