It adheres perfectly to my skin! Free from 20 harmful ingredients and leaves no sticky residue. With SPF 50+, it offers high sun protection, which I'm really satisfied with. What I love most is the large ingredient list printed right on the product - it's so refreshing to see. These days, it's better to 'diet' with cosmetics too, right? Instead of layering multiple products, it's about removing unnecessary items and ingredients. This product gives my skin exactly what it needs. I think the design really captures the identity of the Fesslo brand well. It's a thoughtful product that truly considers me and my skin.
ConsThe cap is a bit thin, making it slightly annoying to twist open by hand.

I was looking for a physical sunscreen and this one is great!!
ConsThe smell is not strange, but I was surprised to be able to smell a diffuser-like herbal fragrance in the sunscreen!

Because of the pigmentation, I had to apply sunscreen every day, and I could only use sunscreen because of the acne..😭 🍎The best part was the non-sticky texture It had a fluffy, non-watery finish, so my hair didn't stick to it, and I felt good about it:) 🍎I'm very careful about ingredients these days due to my skin condition, and the ingredients seem gentle, and perhaps that's why I felt my breakouts were a bit calmed after using this sunscreen! (I'm just grateful it didn't get worse these days ㅠㅠ) 🍎White cast!! I preferred a bit of a brightening effect, and when I applied it, I felt it gave an appropriate, natural brightening effect! Even when I layered it, it didn't get cakey or unpleasant. 🍎The scent is similar to the Innisfree Jeju Volcanic Color line, and personally, I found it refreshing and nice, but it could be divisive. 🍎The packaging was so pretty that it felt like receiving a gift! I think it would also be good as a gift.
Cons🍏The scent could be quite divisive. 🍏The price seems a bit high compared to the volume.

Other cosmetics usually come in just the product box, but I was touched by the thoughtfulness of the gift-like packaging you sent. Until now, I had only used sunscreens that doubled as a base, but this was the first time I tried a product like the Safe Recipe Sun Essence that was selected for the Hwahae trial. .Texture When applied, it has minimal stickiness and, as the name 'sun essence' suggests, it doesn't feel like it's sitting on top of the skin and is quickly absorbed. It's not too thick or too thin, and I'd say it's closer to a lotion texture. .Usage Review My skin is sensitive and dry, so I think this would be more suitable for me to use in the summer rather than winter. After my routine of skin, regeneration cream, moisturizer, oil, Safe Recipe Sun Essence, Estee Lauder foundation mixed with oil, and Medicube cushion, my makeup would start to look uneven after 2-3 hours of office work. I didn't experience any itchiness or breakouts, but the dryness meant I had to stop using it after 5 days... I'll try using it again around early summer and add an additional review then.
ConsAs I mentioned earlier, since I work in an office with a constantly running heater, I often experience dryness. Inevitably, the winter dryness made this product difficult for me to use. On weekends when I didn't wear makeup and just used the basic skincare, I didn't feel the dryness, but when I applied makeup, my makeup would start to flake off.

I will write an honest and truthful review of my experience.🤗 1. Skin Tone When I apply the product, my skin tone becomes brighter. It doesn't make my skin look artificially white and ghostly, but rather it gives my skin a light, brightening effect, making it easy to wear and go about my day. 2. Spreadability The product is very light and not sticky at all. Many sunscreen products feel heavy and sticky when applied to the skin, but the Safe Recipe Sun Essence feels like a light, watery essence that absorbs into the skin nicely. 3. Moisture My skin is very dry, so I need to do a thorough basic skincare routine before applying anything else. But this product doesn't feel heavy or cakey when I just apply the toner and then this. It feels like I'm applying a moisturizing lotion without any oiliness, keeping my skin nicely hydrated. 4. No Whitecast I was really worried about potential whitecast, but I didn't experience any whitening or whitecast at all during the time I used this product. I even wore it to work and reapplied it throughout the day, but my skin stayed natural-looking without any white cast. You can see in the photos that the product is quite watery when squeezed out, and my skin looks brighter after applying just half of it on my hand. The brightening effect is so natural and lovely.😍
Cons1. Fragrance The fragrance of the product is too strong and not to my personal preference, so it was difficult to get used to at first. It has a natural, forest-like scent, but if that's not your cup of tea, you may need an adjustment period like I did. 2. Cleansing I usually just use a cleansing foam for a light cleansing, but I felt like the product didn't fully remove from my skin. So I had to first cleanse with a cleansing water, then use a cleansing foam, and finally wipe my skin with an essence to thoroughly remove the product. It doesn't seem to cleanse off easily. Make sure to do a thorough cleansing routine.🤣
TipThis product would be great to use when you want to lightly brighten your skin and go out. As long as you do a thorough cleansing routine, there shouldn't be any issues.

I really dislike when products leave a sticky finish that makes my hair stick, but this one didn't feel sticky at all and had a smooth finish, which I really liked. 2️⃣White cast There is a very slight white cast. I'm not a big fan of white cast, but this one has just a tiny bit, and it blends into your natural skin tone over time, so it looks natural. I could even just wear this alone and go out in front of my house. 3️⃣Fragrance The fragrance doesn't seem artificial and wasn't unpleasant.
ConsIt's a good product to use in the winter and fall. In the summer, I feel it's a bit heavy to wear a lot and do full makeup on top of it.
TipDuring the transitional seasons, the finish may feel drying (for those with dry skin). You can mix it with a richer moisturizer or a hydrating sunscreen.

When I applied it, my skin did become slightly whiter, but it still felt moisturized and had a tone-up effect. *Makeup Application* It absorbs into the skin without any stickiness, so my base makeup didn't slide off and fit well. Even after some time, my makeup didn't get dry or break down due to excess oil. Since it has a sun protection function in the powder, I didn't need to use a separate sunscreen, and it felt just like applying a moisturizer and then doing my makeup. *Ingredients* Who cares about the ingredients? It's a green-grade product, haha. Mineral sunscreens are usually safe, but they come with thick, sticky textures and white cast. But this product has great spreadability and only a very slight tone-up effect. It seems to have combined good ingredients, sun protection, spreadability, and tone-up all in one.👏🏻👏🏻 *Honest Review* I really hate sunscreens, and I never wore them even in the summer, but this one is great. The issues I had with sunscreens, like white cast, makeup sliding off, and getting greasy, are all gone. It just feels like applying a moisturizing tone-up cream. For those of you who, like me, hated sunscreens because of the white cast, makeup issues, and greasiness, I recommend this Seon Essence that has passed my 'no sunscreen' test.🙋🏻♀️
ConsSince I really dislike sunscreens, this was like a revolution for me, so I didn't have any disappointments!
TipI found that mixing it a bit with my tone-up cream helped the slightly heavy tone-up cream apply more smoothly. Mixing it into my foundation also made the application more moisturizing and nicer!

And usually organic and mixed sunscreens cause eye irritation for me, but this one had great application without any stinging or skin irritation. I've been using it really well and it leaves my skin feeling moisturized at the final step of my skincare routine. There's no stickiness either!
ConsSince it's a squeeze type, I need to be careful with the amount I use. The price is a bit high compared to the quantity, but I understand that's because the ingredients are of good quality.

ConsHowever, when using it as a base and layering foundation on top, it felt a bit too powdery, causing the foundation to slip.
