수드 대나무 선 에센스 [SPF50+/PA++++]

There are no downsides! It's great to apply before makeup and works perfectly as an emulsion on its own.

This is my holy grail sunscreen! I absolutely despise greasy sunscreens, so I've always opted for completely matte types or the Holika sunscreen that was less shiny and slightly more hydrating. But after trying the Keep Cool sunscreen, I was amazed. True to its 'essence' name, it's incredibly hydrating. It genuinely moisturizes deep into the skin like an essence would. The absorption is remarkably fast - it delivers hydration while quickly eliminating any surface slickness. This leaves my skin feeling plump without any oiliness, which I personally find to be the perfect canvas for makeup. Of course, it's fantastic on its own too. I highly recommend it!

This might not be suitable for those looking for a brightening effect, as it doesn't provide that. Also, you might experience some deep dryness after a while.

I found this to be a gentle sunscreen. It's perfect for those who've had good experiences with bamboo-based products before. The lightweight formula feels soft and creamy, without causing any blemishes.

There's nothing particularly disappointing! It absorbs quickly without leaving any white cast

Despite having oily skin, I find the hydration level just right and really enjoyable

It's such a shame this product has been discontinued... It used to be sold on Amazon too. I wonder why it's been discontinued in Korea?

It's moisturizing, absorbs well, gentle, and just great all around. I honestly can't think of anything that compares. It's so mild that even pregnant women could use it safely.

Simple design, tube packaging, lightweight container, clean and sleek container design

It's unfortunate that it's been discontinued... It seemed to suit me the best, so I didn't have any complaints.

This product is really great, but it's a shame it's been discontinued. There's absolutely no white cast, so it's perfect for applying generously. I used to only wear sunscreen, but sometimes the distinctive smell would make me feel nauseous when wearing a mask. This one doesn't have that issue at all. Being a sun essence, I was worried it might be sticky, but after a while, the stickiness disappears, leaving my skin feeling perfectly matte and hydrated.

The quantity is a bit small, which is disappointing, but then again, that might actually be a good thing.

I love this sunscreen because it's gentle yet offers high sun protection

The value for money is a bit disappointing... The product itself is great, but 23,000 won for 50ml? That price might be a burden for students like me. When I received the product, the container wasn't even filled to the top (about half full..?). Personally, I wish they'd release a larger size at a lower price point.

Absorbs well: Unlike other sunscreens, this one feels incredibly fresh and hydrating. It truly absorbs like an essence, as the name suggests. Ingredients: I checked the Hwahae app and was satisfied with the ingredient list! UV protection: The SPF is high, and personally, I'm very happy with this sun essence! Application: It has an essence-like texture that glides on super smoothly! There was no white cast either!

It's a bit too light for me, so I'm layering it with an emulsion-type sunscreen for better protection.

I received this as a gift and tried it out. It absorbs completely and feels refreshing, which I really like. It also seems quite gentle on the skin.

Recommended for dry skin types, apply over your cushion foundation.

- It might feel a bit slippery for teenagers or those with oily skin.
- I find the volume insufficient for my needs as I use it frequently.
- Since there's no white cast, I tend to apply it generously, which means it runs out quickly.

- This is my daily sunscreen.
- It's absolutely perfect to apply before foundation or cushion.
- It glides on smoothly like an essence and absorbs cleanly without any white cast in just 10 seconds.
- There's no eye irritation, pilling, or stiffness at all.
- It's super convenient for those summer days when you need to quickly step out without much makeup.
