I judged that the sensitive skin line could also be used. I continued to use it and there were no breakouts, which I liked. This sunscreen has no major drawbacks and I would recommend it as more suitable for oily skin in the summer. There is no greasy feeling! Many people prioritize avoiding white cast, and I liked that my skin was expressed naturally without any white cast. And the packaging was so pretty, which made me feel good^^!
ConsThe fragrance may be divisive. I was able to use the fragrance, but it was not my preferred scent. The description of it being matte and suitable for oily skin in the summer is due to this. Compared to other sunscreens, when applied to the skin, there is a slightly powdery finish, which made me feel it was matte. As I have dry skin, I found this slightly disappointing. However, I think it can still be used in the summer.
TipUsing the hyaluronic acid ampoule made it absorb nicely into the skin, and when I applied this sunscreen, it was great. For those with dry skin, this is how you could use it!

There is a slight white cast initially, but it disappears quickly, and it applies thinly. I have sensitive skin, and if I don't use gentle products, I usually get breakouts, but I haven't had any issues in the week I've been using this product! I apply it lightly before my base makeup. When I'm not wearing makeup, I just use this product and go. The product absorbs naturally over time.
ConsSince I have somewhat oily skin, the product becomes a bit matte over time. I think it's a perfect fit for oily skin types, but for dry skin, you may want to apply a moisturizer before using it.
TipAs I have dry skin, I apply the 7-skin method, followed by a moisturizer, and then the BB cream. For those with oily skin, you can apply this product lightly, and it will provide a smooth, powdery finish for your makeup.

Although I am a man with dry skin and atopic dermatitis, my T-zone and U-zone are oily, so I don't usually apply sunscreen diligently. However, the application of this product was remarkably smooth. It felt as soft and smooth as a mineral-based sunscreen, if not more so. I really like the Kiehl's brand and use their basic skincare products, but compared to Kiehl's sunscreen, this one had no tackiness, which makes it great for men to use. There was also no stinging around the eyes. Moreover, there was no typical white cast associated with mineral sunscreens, which I really appreciated. Although I received this product through the Hwahae Trial Reviewer program, I would definitely purchase it again. Nowadays, with the scorching summer heat, not managing UV protection can be detrimental to the skin. Haha. The ingredients are also gentle, so even minors can use it without concern. In fact, the application ease is something men can especially relate to, as the feeling of having something on your face, the ghostly white cast, and the greasy sheen can make us reluctant to apply sunscreen regularly, except when playing sports. This product seems to be a great solution to those problems. Of course, I'll have to use it more to know for sure! I tend to prefer organic sunscreens, but they often cause breakouts for me. In that regard, this seems to be a positive sunscreen option for me as well.
ConsSo far, I don't see any significant downsides. I think it will take about two weeks to really identify any issues. And since this is a sun essence rather than a sunscreen, it may be a bit matte, so for those with dry skin, it would be good to ensure proper hydration in your skincare routine before applying it!
TipWhen I first received it, the packaging was so pretty that I could even gift it to someone else! And the price seemed reasonable, but when I checked the website, I saw that it's available for around 18,000 won and they even give you extra volume! If I finish the product, I will definitely repurchase it. Gentlemen, if you're going to apply BB cream, be sure to apply sunscreen first! Haha.

Especially the cyclopentasiloxane, the 2nd ingredient, is a component that not only provides a smooth application, but also gives a matte and powdery feel in the summer. In short, when you apply it, it goes on creamy and doesn't slide, and then quickly evaporates, leaving a powdery, matte finish. The actual feel of use was just like applying whipped cream mixed with milk. And after about 3 minutes, it becomes the characteristic matte feel of a mineral sunscreen. Also, due to the nature of the ingredients, it's water-resistant, so it doesn't turn white and drip even when I sweat. (I sweat a lot, but so far it's been fine. I don't know how it would be if I sweated enough to pour out during exercise.) And the white cast is almost non-existent, even when applying the proper amount. You'd hardly know it was applied unless you were the one who put it on. I took a photo right after applying it, and just looking at it, you can't really tell what was applied (the photo is of my left arm and hand being the applied side). I applied just about the size of a fingertip to the back of my hand and wrist. So it's best not to expect any kind of tone-up effect with this. As the product description says, it's just a good daily sunscreen that can be used by anyone without any stickiness.
ConsBut as it's a mineral sunscreen, no matter how good the feel of use is, the finish is matte. I have an oily face and neutral arms and legs, and when I applied it to my arms, it was just slightly matte, which I think would be just right for oily skin. But for dry skin, it could feel a bit stiff after application. However, it's not an extremely drying cream with sebum control, so for dry-skinned women, if you have a solid skincare routine and apply a cream that forms a barrier like a cica cream, it would be just right. Oh, I forgot to mention that there's an aromatic oil in the middle of the ingredients list. Those who don't agree with that kind of thing tend to have their skin turned upside down no matter what they use (the same goes for those who don't agree with centella or hyaluronic acid). If you're using a good product but keep having to buy a new one every time because your skin gets irritated, check if you have an allergic reaction to things like that. They often use those to provide fragrance instead of adding artificial fragrances.
TipBy the way, if you buy this on the website right now, they're giving away a 15ml trial size. And they say you can get a 100% refund if you're not satisfied, so you can test it out and try it. If you like it, you can get the 50ml size plus the 15ml bonus, so 65ml for 20,000 won, which isn't a bad value.
