Pros
It was rumored to be good at the time, so I bought it during a trip to Japan. However, there are no advantages compared to Korean sunscreens... really none.
Cons
I have dry skin, but it was so oily and shiny that I thought it would be moisturizing. But after a while, it became extremely dry inside. And the oil content is so high and it's so greasy that I got acne after using this product. I've never had any issues using just about any other cosmetics, but this product is so irritating that my skin turned all red.
Tip
It's a relief that it's been discontinued - the best tip is to just use a Korean product. K-beauty is the best!

Pros
I bought it with a duty-free chance. It has a thinner viscosity than gold. I thought it was a sun milk... But it applies well and has good absorbency. The moisture is great.
Cons
This product also stings the eyes a bit and makes tears come out involuntarily if it gets in the eyes. The tears that came out while yawning had sunscreen in them, so they were dripping.

Pros
The liquid formulation makes it easy to apply like a lotion, with a smooth and quick application.
Cons
After application, the greasy feeling lingered for a long time, which was inconvenient. As I have sensitive skin, I would often develop multiple small bumps on my cheeks and forehead when using it from morning to evening. It seems this product does not suit my skin type at all.

Pros
There is absolutely no white cast, and the application is very smooth. When applied before foundation, it helps the foundation go on well. It is also quite resistant to water and sweat, so it doesn't come off easily. When in contact with water, it beads up nicely.
Cons
But... the disappointing thing is that my skin is a bit sensitive and on the dry side... I'm worried this might dry me out and cause breakouts. My skin is thin and I tend to get blemishes easily, so I always wear sunscreen even when at home. The initial impression was great - it applied smoothly, had the right amount of oil, but as time passed, that oil seemed to disappear and left only dryness... And the breakouts, oh no. Tiny pimples kept popping up. Not a lot, but enough to be annoying and some even got inflamed and painful. So I ended up using this all over my body....
Tip
This is not a gentle product, so those with dry and sensitive skin should definitely do a patch test. Getting a sample and trying it for a couple of days is even better.

Pros
First of all, it's not sticky and as the name 'Aqua Booster' suggests, it's quite moisturizing. The application is also smooth. It absorbs into the skin quickly.
Cons
It seems oily, so it's probably not suitable for oily/acne-prone skin. Even though I have a normal skin type, after using this, I noticed increased oil production in the T-zone, which was a concern for me.

Pros
The product applied smoothly and felt moisturizing, but it caused skin issues...
Cons
I had never experienced any breakouts while using the previous Annessa sunscreen, but after switching to this reformulated version, I developed severe closed comedones all over my face. Since I normally have clear skin, I didn't realize it was a problem and continued using it for about 2 weeks. The breakouts were so severe that it took me several months to get my skin back to normal after I stopped using it. This sunscreen just doesn't agree with my skin.

Pros
Is the UV protection good enough? Is this the extent of it? It's actually better not to use it if you have sensitive skin.
Cons
I didn't realize that the sunscreen was an oil bomb, and I kept using it, but then I got a pimple bomb..... Ugh... My skin is acne-prone and inflamed right now, and I'm trying to calm it down... Ugh... I should have used a gentler, baby-friendly sunscreen, even if it provides slightly less protection... This was really strong and a bit stinging. I was so stupid to use this...
Tip
The tip is to just not use it if you have sensitive skin.

Pros
I purchased it because of its good spreadability. There is no white cast and the fragrance is not too strong.
Cons
It has an oily feel, so when I just apply sunscreen, it feels a bit greasy. I have oily skin, but it makes my face feel even more oily.. ㅠ After continued use, some kind of blemish appeared on my face.

Pros
As soon as I applied it, my skin completely flipped over. This is the first time I've seen such a harsh cosmetic product.
Cons
I only applied it once, and within half a day, my skin flipped over... It turned red, bumpy, and blisters came up, and even my eyes were irritated and in chaos. When I went to the dermatologist, they said it would take a long time to treat. I wish I could turn back time.

Pros
The product seems to have some waterproof functionality, but...
Cons
On the first day, I applied a small amount and it seemed to have good waterproof performance, and I didn't realize it since I applied foundation right after. However, on the second day when I applied sunscreen and did eye makeup, it turned out to be a complete disaster.. I would not recommend this to sensitive skin types, you'll end up wasting your money again ㅜㅠㅠㅠ
