It applies lightly and absorbs into the skin, providing a radiant glow (not shiny). The finish is neither heavy nor completely dewy, but somewhere in between. The biggest advantage is that it makes makeup apply well and improves longevity. The glow does come through, but it doesn't break down easily.
ConsIn the middle of summer, it was a bit burdensome for my oily skin (I used it well until early summer). The price is a bit high, but since there are many good sun essences these days, if they don't have many sales, I think I'll turn my eyes to other products...

Over the years, I've used many sunscreens. I've used both mineral and chemical sunscreens without distinction. As I have dry skin, I've been using only moisturizing ones, and I discovered this one and have been using it for 2 years! Moisturizing and smooth application As the name 'sun essence' suggests, the application is very similar to an essence. So when applied to the face, there is no heaviness at all, and it absorbs moisturingly. Even when applying multiple layers, it feels light and there is no white cast. I usually don't like the typical sunscreen scent, but the Hwahae sunscreen has almost no scent, so I can use it like an essence. Also, I usually apply sunscreen to my neck too, but some sunscreens feel sticky or uncomfortable on the neck. This one feels so light that I can apply it all over my body comfortably. No eye irritation I usually try to finish a whole bottle when I buy a sunscreen, examining its pros and cons. But I couldn't use some sunscreens because they irritated my eyes. But the Hwahae sunscreen doesn't sting my eyes at all, even if it accidentally gets in. If you've experienced eye irritation from sunscreens, give this one a try! Highly recommended for dry skin
ConsThere is absolutely no downside! Even though I am quite sensitive, it really suits me well.
TipIt is a good sunscreen that can be applied with the hands, a sponge, or a puff, without any special tips.

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.Pros✅ No eye irritation → Suitable for those who experience eye discomfort or stinging when using sunscreen. ✅ Moisturizing application → The essence-type formula is rich in moisture and applies smoothly. ✅ No white cast → Absorbs naturally into the skin, allowing for comfortable use. ✅ No stickiness → Lightweight and refreshing finish, without a heavy or stuffy feeling. ✅ Vegan product → Manufactured without animal-derived ingredients, making it environmentally friendly.
ConsDrawbacks ❌ Slightly oily feel → May feel a bit greasy for oily skin types. ❌ Relatively high price range → The 70ml full price is 42,000 won, which is more expensive compared to other products. ❌ Not a matte finish → May not be ideal for those who prefer a more powdery, dry-touch finish.
TipOverall, this sunscreen is recommended for dry and sensitive skin types, especially for those looking for a moisturizing sunscreen that does not cause eye irritation. For oily skin types, there may be a slight shiny/greasy appearance, so it is recommended to test the product first before purchasing. If you are looking for a natural, non-whitening finish, this is a highly satisfactory product.

Texture A moist, non-flowing, yet spreadable serum-type formula. 2. Application Adheres well and spreads smoothly, like applying an ampoule. Just a light rolling motion on the skin allows it to spread thinly and absorb quickly. 3. Stickiness No tacky residue at all. The skin feels pleasantly hydrated, with a fresh, non-greasy finish. 4. Color The color is a light, white tone that becomes transparent upon application. It brightens the complexion naturally without obvious whitening. 5. Skin Expression Applies moisturingly and absorbs cleanly, leaving no heaviness or stickiness. Imparts a healthy, glowing radiance to the skin. 6. Irritation Minimal irritation. 7. Longevity Maintains a smooth, luminous effect without drying out over time.
ConsIt's expensive..ㅠㅠ And when fixing it, I felt a bit of irritation

This was the sunscreen that I, with clumsy hands, used the most during the summer.
Cons1. While it applies moisturingly, it is quickly absorbed and finishes refreshingly, so those with dry skin may feel it is a bit drying to use in the winter. 2. I felt fine using other moisturizing sunscreens, but on the days I used this product, my T-zone seemed to have an unusually high amount of oil.

It applies smoothly and absorbs incredibly quickly. It feels like I'm not wearing anything at all!!
ConsThe price is way too expensive :( I really wish they would have a sale.
TipFor light outings, the sun essence (yellow) is good, and if you want to look a bit paler, I recommend the Atte sunscreen (ivory).

Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThe biggest advantage of this product is that it doesn't feel greasy like sunscreen. It applies very smoothly and gently, and it absorbs into the skin so well that you almost forget you've applied it. My partner, who dislikes putting on sunscreen, is very satisfied with this product as it doesn't feel sticky or greasy after application.
ConsHowever, the fragrance has a somewhat irritating feel to it. I think it would be better if there was no fragrance at all. Removing the fragrance would likely improve the ingredients even further. But aside from the fragrance, this sunscreen lotion is satisfactory in every other way, and I would consider repurchasing it.
TipApply it in thin, multiple layers.

ConsAs for the disappointing aspects, there doesn't seem to be anything particularly worth pointing out.

Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.Pros💛Texture: It really is an essence! The typical sunscreen texture is not felt at all, and it has a soft milk essence texture. 💛Usage: It spreads very smoothly and absorbs incredibly fast. It's not overly oily like some organic sunscreens, and it has a moisturizing essence-like finish. It works well under makeup, and when I wear it alone, the oil does come back over time for my oily skin, but it's not a major issue. On days when I don't want to use a mineral sunscreen or a tone-up sunscreen and do heavy cleansing, on days when I don't need makeup, or on days when I just want to quickly go out for exercise, I love being able to apply this lightly and go! 💛Eye Irritation: I've recently had issues with eye irritation from an organic sunscreen, so I was really worried, but this product didn't cause any eye irritation at all! I was thinking of just using a mineral sunscreen to avoid the irritation, but this product passes the test!
ConsI couldn't find any disappointing aspects!! Hmm...if I had to pick one, it would be that it's hard to tell how much is left...?ㅎㅎ But most sunscreen containers are like that, so it's not a big deal.
TipSince it has a light essence texture, I wouldn't recommend applying this sunscreen essence right after using a very thick and oily cream or oil. It worked fine for me when I used it after a moisturizer with a suitable consistency.
