You might feel some small particles when applying, and if your skin isn't in great condition, it can sometimes flake off like powder. Also, it's quite runny, so you might end up using more than intended. Oh, and currently this product is out of stock domestically. I'm almost out and have no idea when it'll be back in stock!

No blemishes! Among the sunscreens I've tried, this one feels the least greasy. There's a slight white cast initially, but it fades over time, which I actually found quite nice.

While it's a bit inconvenient to shake the product before each use, the results make it worth the extra effort. The only other downside is that it's somewhat pricey.

As someone with oily skin, I often find sunscreens leave me greasy. However, this product applies beautifully with a matte finish and no white cast. The best part? I've been using it for over six months without any blemishes. It's absolutely top-notch!

As expected from a sunscreen, it can leave a bit of shine, but patting it down with a cushion puff helps.

I love that it applies lightly and has a tint, making it feel like a CC cream and sunscreen in one.

There's no white cast or stickiness, which is great, but unlike other sunscreens, it's hard to tell if you've applied enough. This leads to using more product than usual.

The watery texture absorbs quickly into the skin with a refreshing feel. It's much easier to remove compared to other sunscreens.

I recommend testing it out before making a purchase!

The downside is its high price point and runny consistency, which means it gets used up quickly. It's more convenient to buy it at the dermatologist's office.

Also, it may vary from person to person, but during my adjustment period of about two weeks, I experienced some burning sensation and slight itching.

I have dry skin but severe whiteheads on my forehead, so I've been regularly visiting a dermatologist. Unless it's a special occasion, I usually avoid makeup besides sunscreen and concealer. Even when I do wear makeup, I stick to BB cream. My blemishes were so bad that I was extremely picky about sunscreens. Eventually, on my dermatologist's recommendation, I tried this product.

Its main advantages are that it applies very thinly and moisturizes while providing sun protection and subtle coverage.

I started using it because of its gentle ingredients, and it definitely causes fewer blemishes than other products that claim to be mild. Occasionally, I notice some pore clogging around my nose area even when using this product alone.

When using this as both sunscreen and BB cream, if you don't pat it in well to ensure absorption, you might experience some pilling.

The way it absorbs isn't great. It feels like there are tiny particles on the skin...

I love that it's tinted. When applied, it feels surprisingly light, making it a comfortable product to wear.

Apart from the high price and limited availability, there's not much to complain about.

For someone like me who can't use foundation or cushion compacts, this product is great as it has just the right amount of white cast to brighten and even out my complexion. It absorbs well and is suitable for sensitive skin without any issues. I started using this sunscreen on my dermatologist's recommendation.

While it gives a slight glow on the surface, I still feel some deep dryness underneath. Maybe it's because I have naturally dry skin.

It absorbs thinly while smoothing out the skin texture. I love how it makes my skin look more refined after application.

The scent might be a hit or miss for some people. I personally didn't think it smelled like typical cosmetics and didn't mind it, but my friend described it as overwhelming.

I started using this product on my dermatologist's recommendation, and it's amazing! Even with just this sunscreen on, my complexion looks noticeably better.

Remember to shake well before use. When applying, don't spread it but gently pat it onto your skin for the best results.

As I have dry skin, it can feel a bit dehydrating by the afternoon. Being a physical sunscreen, it has tiny particles that don't make for the smoothest application.

I've been using this for 4 years now, as recommended by my dermatologist for its physical sun protection.

For combination dehydrated skin types:

The shininess of this sunscreen depends on your skincare routine.
Physiogel or oil-rich base + this sunscreen = oil refinery open for business
Slightly oily + hydrating base + this sunscreen = Tolerable. Slight glow but not quite oil refinery level. Looks and feels okay.

In conclusion, those with skin like mine will be somewhat satisfied if they apply a hydrating base cream before this sunscreen.
By the way, the hydrating cream I found is Dr. Jart+ Water Sleeping Mask. I haven't used it for long, but it's been good so far.

Note: I only use skincare + sunscreen.
I don't wear makeup, so I'm not sure how this sunscreen works with BB cream or foundation.

Also, it contains Zinc Oxide, so it covers both UVA and UVB. That's probably what the PA rating is about.

- Strange smell, somewhat metallic.
- Slight eye irritation. Especially for those of us with oily skin, the sunscreen may run and cause some eye discomfort.
- Transfers easily like foundation or BB cream (be careful with white clothes).
- Always feels a bit tingly when applying. However, I haven't experienced any blemishes yet.

By afternoon, others say my face has a glow, but I feel like my skin has turned into an oil refinery. For those with skin like mine:

Pros:
- Creates a natural skin tone (slightly reduces redness).
- Less shine compared to other sunscreens I've tried.
