  Pros

  Despite the lack of silicone, it has good spreadability and a moisturizing formula infused with aloe essence, so it doesn't dry out for a long time. It would likely be very satisfactory for dry skin. As a person with combination skin prone to dehydration, when I applied it, the oily shine was burdensome, so I lightly patted it with a tissue after about 5 minutes of absorption, and then applied foundation. It didn't cause any lifting or slipping issues, and the makeup went on well. Even after applying sunscreen and just using the Guemiri powder pact, the oiliness didn't intensify or become worse, and it maintained well for about 12 hours. It gives a comfortable feeling on the skin.

  Cons

  When applying, it feels a bit sticky and you can sense the oiliness, so it's a formula that oily skin types may dislike. As someone with oily skin, I find it burdensome each time I use it. The color has a slight bluish-white tone and there is quite a bit of white cast. Why do they keep claiming that all mineral sunscreens have no white cast? They should advertise that it has minimal white cast if that's the case. I wish there were no more false or exaggerated advertising. Unless it's non-nano, mineral sunscreens will naturally have some white cast. As a sensitive skin type, I think using a non-nano mineral sunscreen is the right choice for me, so I don't mind a certain degree of white cast. However, this product takes a long time to apply the proper amount and becomes patchy, making it difficult to apply. And it's weak against water and sweat. One of the advantages of mineral sunscreens is that they are sweat-resistant, but when water droplets or sweat appear, it turns whitish and wears off.

  Tip

  Due to the essence ingredients, it's essential to shake it well before use. It's difficult to apply the proper amount in one go, so it's best to apply an appropriate amount, let it absorb a bit, lightly pat with a tissue, and then apply another layer to get the right coverage. It's recommended for dry skin and during the fall and winter when it's dry, but not recommended for oily skin types or during the spring and summer when sebum production is more active.

  Pros

  It was good that it was aloe-based rather than purified water-based. Even though I use mineral sunscreen, the usual dryness doesn't happen with this one, probably because it's aloe-based, so there's no dryness.

  Cons

  For oily skin, it feels a bit too greasy and the application is a bit thick, so it doesn't spread well. It's fine to use with a matte foundation, but with a dewy one, the makeup will break down. There's also a slight scent, so when I wear this and do my makeup, there's a faint, almost savory smell that comes up from under my nose.

  Tip

  I recommend applying it with a sponge! Using a sponge helps it spread without any thickness, and the sponge seems to absorb some of the oiliness, so I suggest applying it with a sponge.
