  Pros

  This is a Hwahae Trial Reviewer review. I don't usually wear makeup often, but I always make sure to apply sunscreen. I didn't use stick-type sunscreens before because they can be visible and it's hard to check if they're applied evenly. But through this Hwahae Trial, I started using the Sanda Hwa Sun Stick. It's really convenient to reapply while on the go! The size fits perfectly in my hand and small bag. This could be an advantage over regular stick products. I have dry skin and don't have problematic skin. I get the occasional pimple about once every few months. Even when I use gentle skincare products, my skin sometimes reacts negatively. But since using the Sanda Hwa Sun Stick, my skin has been fine, even with daily use. My sister has combination/sensitive skin and usually reacts to anything she applies, but the only issue she had with this product was that it felt a bit sticky. It's a mineral sunscreen, but there's almost no white cast, which is great... or is it? I double-checked and confirmed it is indeed a mineral sunscreen. The lack of white cast is surprising. The plastic dome-shaped protective cap on the lid is also a nice feature. My sister used another brand's sun stick, and the plastic cover had to be put on all the way, which was inconvenient. This product has SPF50+ PA++++ protection and is water-resistant, so I can apply it before exercising outdoors. But lately, it's been too hot to go running outside, which is a shame.

  Cons

  The scent is similar to a natural lip balm. I never really thought much about fragrance in cosmetics before. I didn't understand why they would add artificial scents if it's not perfume. But as soon as I opened the product, the scent hit me, and I thought "Ah, that's why fragrance is important too." Luckily, the scent doesn't linger on the face after application. Even my sister, who has a sensitive nose, was a bit startled by the scent at first but didn't have any issues once she applied it. The feel on the face is thick and sticky. Likely due to the beeswax or water-resistant formula, it doesn't apply as thinly. It's not an "oil explosion" feeling, but more like a thick, oily film on the skin. As someone with dry skin, I think this texture might be a bit much in the summer, but could be a great benefit when the weather is a bit cooler. My sister, who has combination/sensitive skin, also tried it and said it was too sticky for her to use. Since her skin reacts even to slightly rich products, she's hesitant to use this.
