Pros
1. No troubles 2. Good ingredients 3. Smooth application
Cons
1. Too oily 2. Available for purchase online only
Tip
I purchased a sun stick with good ingredients because applying sunscreen is a hassle and I tend to get breakouts. It doesn't cause any troubles and applies well, but it's way too greasy and makes my face feel stuffy. Even when I try to mattify it with powder, the brush just gets clogged. I don't plan to repurchase this.

Pros
1. Smooth Application Applies smoothly without feeling tight! 2. No White Cast Despite being a mineral sunscreen, there is no white cast, which I really liked! 3. Non-Irritating, Non-Toxic I always had issues with sunscreens causing breakouts and skin irritation, but this product is made with good ingredients, so there was no irritation or breakouts. It also doesn't sting the eyes. 4. UV Protection The protection level is excellent, suitable for outdoor activities. 5. Fragrance It has a fragrance. Some may like or dislike it, but personally I enjoyed the fresh, natural scent. 6. Easy to Wash Off I was able to remove it with just a cleansing foam, without needing additional cleansing oil or products. However, using a cleansing oil or balm beforehand would be even better.
Cons
1. Price The price is a bit on the higher side. I personally don't mind the cost, as I'll continue using it if there are no alternatives, but some may find it expensive. 2. Oily Residue After application, there is a slight oily residue. It feels like an extra layer on the skin.

Pros
First of all, I purchased it because the ingredients are good. It's also easy to apply and absorbs very well, so I'm extremely satisfied with using it. I have combination skin, but there's not much oiliness and it's not dry either. There's no pilling, and even though I have sensitive skin, there's no breakouts😀
Cons
When using it, I have to turn the bottom to raise the sunscreen stick (like a lip balm). It kind of sticks to the container.. The sunscreen stick gets shaved off to the side.😭
Tip
After my basic skincare routine, I apply it and wait a bit when it starts to get shiny. It seems to absorb quickly.

Pros
It seems that the non-irritating ingredients are the reason why I didn't experience any breakouts after using this product. Even though I usually get breakouts right away if something doesn't agree with my skin, this one seems to work well with my skin.
Cons
I only use sunscreen sticks and I'm particularly interested in sunscreen products. This one isn't bad, honestly... it's not bad, but while the ingredients are good, it was inconvenient to apply. The glide is good, but since I was using a stick-type sunscreen before, which was very convenient to apply, this round-shaped one requires me to apply it several times, especially on my nose, which was quite uncomfortable. I hope this aspect can be improved in the future.
Tip
There is some oil content, but it's not too excessive, so even with my oily skin, I'm able to apply it well. When reapplying outdoors, it's a good idea to keep a cleansing water-soaked cotton pad in the case and wipe off any sweat on your skin before reapplying.

Pros
This is a review from the Hwahae Trial Reviewer. Skin Type: Dry (not extremely dry) Doesn't get breakouts often. Design: The compact size fits perfectly in the pouch, so I've been applying it frequently while at work. It's really convenient to carry around, and it's been great to use it outdoors. Especially since I often spend a lot of time outside and work long hours, I sometimes forget to reapply sunscreen. So the sunscreen stick has been really useful! Performance: The high protection factor (SPF 50+, PA++++) means I don't have to worry about sunburn. What I was most worried about was it being heavy and sticky, but compared to the sunscreen stick I had tried from Saebyeok-nara, the formula is definitely more refreshing and smooth. The Saebyeok-nara sunscreen stick felt like I was just slapping something on my face, making my skin feel stuffy, but this one doesn't feel heavy at all and I can reapply it comfortably. I didn't know the ingredients would be this good, but it's really satisfying that there's no burden on my skin. Scent: The scent is my favorite part. The refreshing yet gentle fragrance makes me want to keep applying it... The subtle blend of citrusy and floral notes isn't overpowering at all. Overall: A refreshing, lightweight, and smooth-applying high-performance sunscreen stick / Carrying it around and applying it makes me feel good because of the pleasant scent I would repurchase this.
Cons
I don't have any particular dislikes yet. It seems to be an all-around reliable product with great performance.

Pros
The stick format was incredibly convenient! These days it's so hot and creams can feel sticky and unpleasant to apply, but I could just swipe this on easily. And since it's Hwahae, it's free of irritating ingredients, so I could use it gently without worrying about breakouts.
Cons
The oily texture did make it a bit stuffy to use on my face... Some other famous sunsticks can be quite oily, and while this one is definitely less so, it still felt a bit heavy on my face. The finish is also a bit tacky, so it might be burdensome to use before makeup.
Tip
I think this would be great to use on the days when I need to go out with a bare face! The size is perfect to carry around in a small bag, so I can apply it to my neck and arms as well.

Pros
This is a Hwahae Trial Reviewer review. It applies smoothly and is not drying!! The sunscreen I used before was mineral-based, so I had to be a bit more attentive to my skincare, but even as time passed, I didn't feel any dryness, which was great. The UV protection level is also high, and since it's a sunstick, it's convenient to carry around and reapply throughout the day. ㅎㅎ There's no trouble or white cast, so it would be a good option for those looking for a gentle, non-whitening sunstick!
Cons
While it's not drying, in this extremely humid and hot weather, it can feel a bit sticky at times. However, as time passes, it settles into a comfortable, powdery finish, so it's not overly burdensome! And since it's a sunstick, it's inevitable, but after applying, some dust-like particles do get picked up in the product.
