Pros
Although I prefer Anessa because I dislike sticky products, I was a bit hesitant about the gold version as it seemed too dry. However, this product is much more moisturizing than the gold version while still providing a soft, smooth finish.
Cons
Compared to other sunscreens, this one seems to absorb quickly and doesn't leave much of a noticeable application, so I'm a bit concerned that the UV protection may not be as effective.

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 Annette-specific non-sticky finish combined with added moisture means I've been using it well throughout the entire second half of the year without any dryness. The spreadability is a bit less than the yellow one, but still good - I apply about the size of a 10-won coin every day. When sunscreen is applied unevenly, there can sometimes be a whitish cast on the beard area, but this product has never had that issue, even when applied haphazardly. Lately I've been mainly using gel creams, but this product doesn't feel dry at all when applied right after the gel cream, so it seems to live up to its name.
Cons
Since this product emphasizes moisture more than others, there is a tendency for some oiliness to come up in the afternoon. Wearing glasses, there is also a slight tendency for it to slide down in the afternoon. Other than that, I don't have major complaints, and I think it would be fine to use as long as it's not combined with extremely oily/acne-prone skin in the height of summer. For those with darker complexions, there may be a slight whitish cast immediately after application, but that disappears quickly, so there's no need to worry.

Pros
It's so moisturizing! The milk type is really great, as my makeup doesn't smear at all.
Cons
I didn't have any dissatisfying points... The gold color was also nice.

Pros
While the formula may appear thin at first glance, it applies smoothly and has good spreadability. It also seems to have good staying power and does not slide around.
Cons
It seemed to have few apparent shortcomings at first glance, but I'm not sure about its lasting power.

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
Those with dry skin will fall in love with the moisturizing properties. The cream-like texture glides smoothly across the palm and applies evenly.
Cons
You usually apply a sunscreen before your base makeup, right? While this product does make the skin feel moisturized, it causes my foundation and BB cream to slip. And after checking the ingredients on the Hwahae app, I was quite surprised - I thought the ingredients would be better. But I didn't experience any breakouts or issues while using it.
Tip
I was using the yellow Innisfree sunscreen before, but after testing this on the back of my hand, I found it to be incredibly moisturizing. However, for days when I'm just looking for sun protection without makeup, the yellow one works better. This has a velvety finish that allows my makeup to apply nicely. It's a great daily sunscreen for its moisturizing properties.

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
I applied it when going out to the outdoors in the midsummer. It was not chalky, moisturizing, and provided good protection. The areas where I applied sunscreen did not get tanned.
Cons
The ingredients are very poor. It is waterproof and not chalky, so it's not burdensome, but I'm wondering if I should use it again.
Tip
Just apply it when going to a place with water in the midsummer. It does not dissolve or run off in the water.

Pros
I really hate sunscreen, ugh, I hate it so much. Even the Lancome sunscreen that everyone says is so good is greasy, sticky, and stuffy, and I'm so worried about not being able to wash it off when cleansing that I just didn't wear it at all. But then I tried a sample and after using it, I bought it a second time. It doesn't whiten like a tone-up cream, but it has a moisturizing cream-like texture that applies so smoothly and makes my skin look a bit brighter. And the best part is that it washes off easily with just a cleansing foam. I used to hate sunscreen but worry about my skin, but now I apply it diligently to my face and neck every day. And even though I'm prone to breakouts, I haven't had any since using this sunscreen, I'm so impressed. The price is also quite affordable considering the quality, so I really like it!
Cons
Maybe because it's called 'Aqua', it does leave a bit of an oily residue. Other than that... oh, since it's a Japanese product, I'm a bit worried about radiation, haha, but there doesn't seem to be any issues.
Tip
If you apply it before your base makeup, it's amazing! If you put a little extra around your under-eyes and lip area, it doesn't feel dry at all, just nice and moisturizing like a cream!
