It's so moisturizing, I almost thought it was a chemical sunscreen. The lightweight texture isn't as thin as an essence, but more like a hydrating emulsion. It feels incredibly hydrating and fresh on the skin. There's even a slight cooling effect when you apply it :-) While there's a bit of a white cast, it's not enough for coverage. You'll need to use it as a makeup base and finish with cushion foundation or liquid foundation. It's not heavy as a base, so you can layer it without feeling suffocated. It doesn't leave a drying film on your skin, so it feels comfortable to wear. √ Application The soft, lightweight emulsion formula spreads easily. Just gently pat it in with your hands. It leaves a slight glow after application, but doesn't provide any coverage. Reapplication is fine, but it's not strong enough to use as your only sun protection. √ Gentle Formula I didn't experience any itching, blemishes, or eye irritation. Even some products with good ingredients can cause issues, but this one didn't. √ Easy to Remove It comes off easily with regular cleansing water. You don't need to cleanse aggressively since it removes well :) Cleansing water + foam cleanser / oil cleanser + exfoliating toner or foam cleanser work well
Cons√ Longevity ★★☆ Unfortunately, due to its light texture, it tends to come off easily with water or sweat. It seems more vulnerable to water than sweat. The white cast isn't too strong, so it's easy to apply lightly, but it leaves an awkward skin tone, necessitating a tinted cushion or foundation. Zero coverage, purely sunscreen functionality. It can clog pores slightly. Compared to others, this mineral sunscreen has very few drawbacks. While I can't judge its actual sun protection, it's a good product that offers some relief from dryness. Over time, there's a very slight dryness, but it's so minimal that it feels almost like a chemical sunscreen. +@ It doesn't adhere tightly to the skin, which makes it comfortable, but it tends to break down quite a bit in summer;; √ Scent I don't see any added fragrances, but there's a slight ink smell when applying. It might be hit or miss for some, but personally, I don't mind the ink scent. The smell is quite strong during application but seems to dissipate quickly. It was fine even when wearing a mask after application. √ Price It's not widely available outside the official website, which limits accessibility. It would be nice if it was sold alongside the toner in Olive Young too. Compared to similar products in terms of volume, it feels a bit pricey, but considering it's a hydrating mineral sunscreen, it's reasonable. Being quite runny, you use more product compared to others, so it runs out faster.
TipIf you're only using sunscreen, just powder your T-zone and oily areas to finish! It's great to use the sunscreen as a base and finish with a light foundation or cushion ;-) If you have dry skin and want a hydrating and fresh mineral sunscreen! Pick this if you need a sunscreen with good application and no tint~! Application ★★★★ Hydration ★★★★ Longevity ★★☆ Cleansing ★★★

Application? It feels moisturizing when applied, and it's as refreshing as an emulsion. The lightweight texture, similar to an emulsion, doesn't feel heavy on the skin. It gives a natural glow all over the face. It's slightly rich, but even with my dry skin, I didn't feel any dryness after 8 hours. 2. White cast? There's a slight whiteness right after application, but it gradually clears up to match your skin tone. It provides a very natural brightening effect, which I liked. There was no ashy appearance. 3. Eye irritation? Blemishes? It suited my sensitive skin well without any itching. I even slept without washing it off last night, and there were no blemishes or itching. It seems to be quite gentle. 4. Scent? Just a typical sunscreen smell, not overwhelming. Compared to my usual sunscreen, the scent was less noticeable, which was nice. 5. Easy to remove? (Staying power?) When I tried to remove it with cleansing water after 8 hours, there wasn't much residue. It seems to fade away over time.
ConsIt only provides a natural brightening effect, so it doesn't cover blemishes or anything like that. Therefore, it might be difficult to use for a foundation-free look. Other than that, I'm satisfied with everything!
TipFor those with oily skin, I think it would be good to use a light base and then apply this sunscreen.
