I've bought it during every sale and I'm on my umpteenth bottle!
ConsAt some point, if it gets into your eyes, it stings so much that it makes them water. Is it just me who experiences this?

It's lightweight, has a pleasant scent, and is gentle on the skin.
ConsThe color is somewhere between purple and blue, but it doesn't provide much coverage when applied.
TipIt's great for a light application before going out. I'm satisfied because it absorbs well without feeling sticky.

I'm completely satisfied!!! Finally, I've ended my sunscreen nomad journey. The essence-like texture actually has a soothing effect - it felt cool and calmed my skin. It's moisturizing, absorbs well, and has a good balance of oil and moisture. It's a lightweight type too. I usually like to apply sunscreen thinly in the proper amount all over my face, and then layer it. When I applied this twice, using about a 100 won coin size each time, it felt like I'd just applied a light gel moisturizer - that's how little stickiness there was. With just one application, it feels as light as an essence. Anyway, it's hard to find this kind of texture among any drugstore sunscreens. Banila Co has always had great products, but it's a shame more people don't know about them. It's like a hidden gem... For me, it's like a second Clio (I'm glad Clio is doing well now). It absorbs quickly, so foundation applies well over it too. There was no pilling at all (I used a slightly rich and moisturizing foundation). Anyway, I really love this! Even though it's a gel type, unlike other sunscreens that can make your face red and cause foundation darkening due to oiliness, this doesn't do that at all. (Though I did use a setting spray, so that might have prevented oil from coming through. I'll know better in autumn? I'll add another comment after using it more.)
ConsIt's a bit disappointing that it's not a hybrid chemical-physical sunscreen, but I'm still satisfied with this. I'm going to stick with this forever, so please don't ever reformulate it!
TipThe color is purple, but it doesn't have any color-correcting properties.

The affordable price allowed me to use it for quite a while. Although it has a light purple color, it's almost invisible on the skin and doesn't cause any pilling, which made it easy to apply makeup over it.
ConsUnfortunately, the ingredients aren't the best, which is disappointing. While it didn't cause any specific blemishes, I have a motto to treat my face with good products just like I nourish my body with good food. I used it because it was a gift, but I wouldn't spend my own money on it.

But I do worry about sun damage, so I always make sure to use sunscreen. The one I was using felt too heavy and sticky, so I decided to switch. I was hoping for something that felt more like an essence or emulsion, just like the name suggests! Absorbs well: It was exactly the light, emulsion-like feel I was hoping for. Not sticky at all, and it just sinks right in! I love the slight cooling sensation when I apply it. It's so hydrating that I can skip my regular emulsion and just use this before heading out. The scent is a bit strong. It's hard to describe, but it smells like herbs you might find in medicine. If you're sensitive to cosmetic fragrances, you might not like it. But the scent doesn't linger like perfume, so it didn't bother me! As you can see, the color is purple. I'm not sure why, but maybe they wanted it to match the packaging? It doesn't have any whitening effects, but it looks nice!
ConsFunctionally, there weren't any real issues, but the amount you get for the price feels a bit small. If you're looking for the best value for your money, this might not be the best choice.

The scent isn't overpowering, and it doesn't feel heavy when applied. It's lightweight and gives a fresh feeling like an emulsion (the texture is essence-like as the name suggests, similar to an emulsion). There's no white cast, which is great. It works well under makeup without pilling.
ConsWhile not necessarily a drawback, it's worth noting that despite its purple color, it doesn't have any color-correcting properties.
TipGive it a gentle shake before use. As mentioned in the instructions, any leftover product may turn slightly blue, but this doesn't affect its performance.
