So it was just perfect - not as drying as regular mineral sunscreens, but also not overly greasy. 💘 No Breakouts: The ingredients are so good! Witch hazel water is the first ingredient, and it's free of high silicone content, so it's really gentle and non-irritating!
Cons🌶 Drying in Transitional/Winter Seasons: While this sunscreen is perfect for oily skin, even this 'oily skin' formula becomes a bit too drying during transitional seasons and winter. So I had to switch to a more hydrating sunscreen during those times. 🌶 Small Amount: Personally, I tend to use products for a long time, so 40ml felt a bit on the smaller side compared to typical sunscreen sizes. It seems like some newer sunscreen releases have been coming in smaller quantities. 🌶 Minimal Tint: The lack of a tint, which is both a pro and a con of this formula, means there's almost no color correction.
Tip🍯 If you still want to use it in the winter, mixing in some jojoba oil could help. Personally, I feel like I've found my holy grail sunscreen for oily skin! I'm so satisfied with the application, oil control, and ingredients. I'll likely be sticking to this sunscreen for spring and summer going forward.

I hope it doesn't get discontinued. I have skin that breaks out in acne whether I use mineral or organic sunscreen, so I only apply it when I'm going to be out for a long time and not on a regular basis. My face also gets very hot, so I prefer mineral sunscreens over organic ones, but I dislike the typical dryness of mineral sunscreens. After searching for a while, I purchased this product and I'm really happy with it. The pros are: 1. There's not a strong white cast (it's not completely gone, but it's similar to organic sunscreens) 2. The application is smooth (these days there are a lot of mineral sunscreens with good application) 3. There's no uncomfortable, paper-like dryness (even with good application, mineral sunscreens can become very matte and make the skin feel like it's going to tear, but this product only feels slightly dry without being uncomfortable) 4. It's a good base sunscreen to use before applying other products (the finish right after application is really similar to an organic sunscreen - it's hard to describe, but it's not greasy or completely matte, and the oil doesn't come through even after a long time)
ConsLately, I've been lazy about exfoliating, so there's a bit of visible flakiness. But I don't consider this a major downside.

I was worried about using sunscreen, but this one hasn't caused any irritation or breakouts so far! I really dislike heavy white cast, but this one barely leaves any. It may look a bit white when first applied, but it settles nicely over time. It's not unpleasantly visible at all! Also, I don't experience any dryness or tightness. The texture is smooth and pleasant to apply.
ConsI had the opposite experience from the other reviewers here. Depending on the amount used, it felt more like a 40% moisture, 60% oil balance? There was a strong stickiness, similar to the feel of mineral sunscreens. Surprisingly, it didn't cause an oil explosion, but the stickiness was more than I expected. Even after application, the oily feel remained and it didn't become powdery. In my opinion, those with oily skin types may not like this, especially in the summer... Adding more: The white cast is getting worse the more I use it. It's becoming patchy, flaky, and just a mess. It's oily, not dewy. While it's better than a drying mineral sunscreen, I'm not sure about the other aspects. If you apply makeup on top, it really emphasizes pores and makes the dark spots look worse. The application is uneven and blotchy.
TipI recommend trying a sample first when you order, to test it out.

When first applied, it spreads on like a sunscreen lotion, leaving a moisturized finish. But over time, it dries down to a soft, powdery feel. Yet, it doesn't feel dry at all - it's a peculiar, pleasant finish. The white cast is moderate, with a brightening effect, but not overly so. Even for men, the level of white cast isn't too burdensome. Despite having a sunscreen lotion-like texture, the SPF protection is surprisingly high, making it a great, refreshing summer sunscreen.
ConsThe value for money is a bit disappointing. 40ml for 18,000 won 😢 It's true that sunscreen is something we use year-round and even apply to the neck, so it can get quite expensive. This is the kind of price you'd want to stock up on during sales. But the product itself doesn't have any major flaws.
TipSlightly on the dry side. Recommended for combination to oily skin types! (The white product at the bottom is the Whitehealer sunscreen, and the one on top is the Bonjour Perfect Sun Cream.)

The result is quite satisfactory. It is much less drying than other sunscreens. However, that does not mean it is not drying at all. If you mistake this as a moisturizer and apply it lightly over a minimal skincare routine, your skin will end up feeling extremely parched and cracked later on. Always make sure to have a solid skincare base and apply it generously. Other sunscreens (e.g. Dr.G Green, 365 Ansim) can make your skin feel like a desert, drying it out and causing it to crack, even if you have a proper skincare routine. This product is certainly less drying, but for those with dry skin, please make sure to have a sufficient skincare base.
ConsBefore bed, I apply the Izand Tree Hyaluronic Acid Toner once and the Dr.G Red Blemish Soothing Cream once. I'm really curious to know how other oily-skinned people do their skincare routine. Please leave a comment to let me know.
TipBefore bed, generously apply to any areas that feel irritated or tight.
