It's a mineral sunscreen that feels as moisturizing and silky as an essence. I've heard that mineral sunscreens are less irritating than chemical ones, so I did some research. While mineral sunscreens can sometimes feel a bit heavy or leave a white cast, this product absorbs well, feels light, and doesn't leave any residue. I'm absolutely thrilled with how gentle and effective it is!
ConsIf I had to mention one drawback, it would be the slight fragrance. I checked the ingredient list on Hwahae, and it does mention that the fragrance could potentially cause allergic reactions. However, it's not overpowering, and compared to other products, the overall ingredient list is quite good. Most importantly, I haven't experienced any skin irritation or breakouts, so I'm still very satisfied with it.
TipWhile it's not exactly a secret tip, when applying sunscreen, it's better to pat it in rather than just rubbing it on your skin. After spreading a thin layer with your hands, gently pat it all over your face for better absorption and effectiveness!

It's so hydrating that there's no risk of your base makeup pilling! Unlike other sunscreens with their distinctive scent that I disliked, this product doesn't have that smell and actually has a pleasant fragrance. It seems perfect for applying before makeup, especially in this hot summer with strong sunlight. I definitely plan to repurchase it in the future. For those who dislike oily sunscreens in summer, I highly recommend this product as it's moisturizing and absorbs well.
ConsSo far, I haven't found any drawbacks while using it! Even though my skin has been quite sensitive lately, I've been using it without any blemishes.
TipIt's best to apply a thin layer after your skincare routine and before your base makeup.

After using Dr. Elcia's moisturizer and mask, I gained trust in the brand and decided to try this. First off, despite being a mineral sunscreen, it absorbs well and doesn't leave a white cast. Initially, I felt it might be too rich, but I decided to give it a try. Right after application, it felt as moisturizing as an essence, true to its name. It then absorbed quickly, leaving no discomfort. It also provides a nice brightening effect, so I applied it not just on my face but also on my neck to even out the skin tone after makeup. Lastly, I love the product packaging - it's beautiful, clean-looking, and most importantly, convenient to carry. I've tried various sunscreens and sun sticks before, but I think I'll be sticking with this one from now on!
ConsEven though I have super sensitive and combination dehydrated skin, this product didn't cause any blemishes, proving it's gentle. However, it's not completely oil-free, so those with oily skin might want to test it first before committing to regular use!

The packaging is also quite attractive.
ConsThe only downside might be that there's less product than I expected. Other than that, I haven't noticed any issues so far.
TipIt works great as a final step in your skincare routine before makeup. It absorbs well without pilling, and its lightweight texture doesn't interfere with your foundation. You can easily transition to your makeup routine without any problems.

However, they often have many drawbacks that made me stop using them, but this product has overcome all those issues! First off, it absorbs incredibly well!! While using it, I kept thinking, 'Is this really a mineral sunscreen?' The way it absorbs is just... amazing. Next, what really satisfied me was the absence of white cast! It's not a stark white cast, but rather a subtle brightening that evens skin tone beautifully. There are days when I go out wearing just this product without any other makeup! Especially since this product is super hydrating, I highly recommend it for those with dry skin as a moisturizing sunscreen. It's hard to find a product with 4+ in the market, but this one is PA++++, which means excellent UV protection. The fact that it's also easy to cleanse and is a low-irritation sunscreen made me fall in love with it even more.
ConsThere weren't really any downsides! If I had to nitpick, maybe it's a bit rich for those with oily skin due to its intense hydration? I truly recommend this for people with dry skin!

I've used various types including sunscreens, sun cushions, sun ampoules, sun gels, sun serums, and more. Among them, the Dr. Elcia product applies smoothly without any stickiness, feels moisturizing, and absorbs well, making it perfect to use before makeup. I've finally found my holy grail product! I'm leaving this review hoping it becomes popular so they don't discontinue it. Plus, it's a functional cosmetic that also works as skincare, which might be why makeup applies so well over it, hehe.
ConsI haven't discovered any drawbacks yet. I'll update if I find anything disappointing.
