I have combination dehydrated skin. My nose and forehead tend to be oily, while my cheeks and chin are on the dry side. My skin has become super sensitive lately, so I've been extra careful when choosing products. When I first applied this one, I was pleasantly surprised by its texture - it's just my style! I absolutely can't stand greasy sunscreens or white cast. This one, however, isn't greasy at all and absorbs into the skin without leaving any white residue, finishing with a lovely matte feel. When applied to the face, there's no white cast, but it does provide a slight brightening effect that lasts for about an hour or two. Initially, it leaves a matte finish, but as time passes, a bit of shine does come through. To be honest, it's nearly impossible for a sunscreen not to produce any oil, as ones that are too dry don't absorb well and just sit on top of the skin. Most importantly, it applies very thinly! So I didn't have to worry about it pilling under makeup. Oh, and I noticed they used paper for all the packaging, even the sunscreen box was made without any additional coating. With environmental issues being so crucial these days, I got the impression that this brand pays attention to even the smallest details! Overall, I'm very pleased with this sunscreen.
ConsThere's nothing particularly disappointing, but if I had to pick something, it would be the scent. It's not strong, but there's a slight glue-like smell. However, it didn't really bother me!

I really liked the ingredients, how it applies, and the level of white cast. There are no harmful ingredients, so I thought even sensitive skin could use it, and I didn't break out once while using it! The application is smoother than my usual sunscreen. It looked a bit glowy when I applied it on the back of my hand, so I thought it would be moisturizing, but on my face, it becomes more matte over time! I went out all day wearing only this product on days when I used both heavy and light skincare, and honestly, I felt a bit of dryness on the day with lighter skincare. I prefer a moderate white cast, so right after applying it all over my face, I loved the natural brightening effect that made my skin look clear, but over time, the white cast fades to about 50%. This didn't bother me much though. Also, the packaging is very sleek, and the size is just right, making it convenient to carry around!
ConsThe dryness seems unavoidable due to the nature of mineral sunscreens... I usually apply toner, serum, and cream, but on days when I forgot to apply serum, my skin felt a bit tight. However, it might be fine in summer when it's hot, humid, and skin tends to produce more oil.
TipFor dry skin, it's best to apply skincare thoroughly, and if you need tone-up or coverage, add a brightening moisturizer or foundation! I don't need much coverage, so I love using a sunscreen + concealer combo! Applying concealer only where needed also reduces transfer onto masks.

This is my second time being selected, and interestingly, I received sunscreen last time too. However, that one was so drying that after testing it for the review, I never used it again. So, I didn't have high expectations for this mineral sunscreen, but I was pleasantly surprised! First off, the silky texture feels amazing when applied. It's neither too oily nor too dry. When layered over a well-prepped base, it leaves your skin with a subtle matte finish while maintaining hydration. As someone with extremely dry skin, I usually can't use mineral sunscreens because they dry out quickly, but this one doesn't feel like it's going to crack even after extended wear. As for the white cast, it's minimal - maybe half a shade lighter? It's not completely invisible, but it's so slight that it's barely noticeable, just giving a hint of brightness. I'm thrilled that I'll likely use up the entire bottle this time!
ConsIt's not exactly a downside, but I found the scent a bit strong for my liking. It has a slight cherry candy-like fragrance - not unpleasant, but not particularly appealing either. Other than that, I don't have any complaints. Given that I have extremely dry skin, I'm satisfied with the level of hydration this mineral sunscreen provides. Some sunscreens are so drying that after half a day of wear with makeup, my skin feels like it's about to crack and flake off, but I didn't experience that at all with this one.
TipI have super dry skin! My routine involves applying a hydrating essence mixed with a drop or two of facial oil after toner, followed by a moisturizing cream as a base. With this solid foundation, the sunscreen feels less drying when applied on top.

Absorbs well without feeling heavy, great application 2. High-quality ingredients 3. No white cast, looks natural 4. Moisturizing but leaves a soft, matte finish 5. Didn't cause any blemishes 6. Easy to control the amount used
ConsEverything was fine, but if I had to nitpick: It has a slight rubber-like scent. And it's a bit pricey to buy with my own money.
TipFor best results, exfoliate to remove dead skin cells before applying. Also, make sure to cleanse thoroughly when removing it.

Though it doesn't show, there's a slight brightening effect, making it convenient to apply when I'm just popping out to the convenience store or supermarket nearby. I think I'll be using this quite often. It's all I need for this summer!
ConsIt becomes matte shortly after application, which might feel a bit drying for those with dry skin. Nevertheless, it's still really great!
TipWhen you apply makeup over this sunscreen, it gives a fresh, matte finish.

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThe Hwahae Testers Review Summary: Texture & Application: Applies smoothly and finishes with a soft, powdery feel Skin feels velvety to the touch where applied Brightening Effect: Minimal. I expected some whitening since it claimed to be natural, but there's hardly any. This aspect may vary for different users. Ingredients: Extremely gentle I happened to use this during my menstrual cycle when blemishes tend to appear, but it was similar to my usual experience. The ingredients are mild and don't cause irritation. I'll update after my cycle ends. Detailed Observations: Day 1: There's a noticeable sanitizing scent when opening, which is reassuring. Thanks to Hwahae or Anua, whichever brand it is. Applied this with a brightening moisturizer on top. It spreads evenly and smoothly, feeling quite nice. However, when cleansing in the evening: My cleansing routine: 1. Massage with Cetaphil Cleansing Emulsion 2. Rinse 3. Mugwort Cleansing Foam 4. Rinse Looking in the mirror - it didn't seem to come off completely. Similar to my experience with Make P:rem, which I bought for its good value but struggled to remove. I thought it might be due to not exfoliating. But I had many blemishes at the time and needed to calm my skin and exfoliate. So two days later, I exfoliated and used a Mediheal green mask. Second use: With sunscreen + a bit of cushion foundation Removed easily Next day: With sunscreen + Cosrx brightening moisturizer Didn't come off easily Conclusion: Great application, gentle, and feels good on the skin, but doesn't remove well when used with thick brightening moisturizers like Cosrx
ConsDon't apply brightening moisturizer over this. It seems to stick with sunscreen and becomes hard to remove
TipAvoid using with thick brightening moisturizers. It's difficult to remove. The photo below shows how this sunscreen leaves almost no white cast. The blemishes aren't caused by this product

Application (level of moisture) - Excellent The application is really great! It doesn't pill on me, and after applying, the finish feels soft and powdery! I think it's the best sunscreen I've used recently. Usually, my oily skin gets greasy right after applying sunscreen, but this one leaves a velvety, matte finish which I love. I was using Ampleur sunscreen and Missha Essence sunscreen before, and this feels slightly more powdery than Ampleur. (The Essence sunscreen is naturally more moisturizing, so it makes my skin a bit oily, but I have to use it up.) However, those with dry skin might find it a tad drying. It seems to get a little dry as time passes... but I hate excess oil, so I love it! 2. White cast - None at all When I apply it to my face, I usually follow up with foundation right away, so I thought there might be a slight white cast. Overall, it seemed fine with just a bit of brightening, but there was a slight whitening effect. However, when I applied it on my hand for this review and waited about 5 minutes, it absorbed into my skin and returned to my natural complexion! Though I wouldn't mind if it stayed brightening... 3. Other points It's a mineral sunscreen with good ingredients and great adherence, so I feel like it won't transfer even when wearing a mask! While I don't often get acne, I do get small bumps, but this sunscreen doesn't seem to cause them. The scent isn't bad... but it could be a bit milder. I wish sunscreens were unscented... they all seem to have some fragrance. Still, it's a tolerable, inoffensive scent.
ConsI've been using it for about a week now, and I don't have any complaints. As someone with oily skin, I think I'll stick with this for the summer!!!

However, mineral sunscreens can sometimes feel a bit thick and drying, which can be uncomfortable at times. But this sunscreen is surprisingly moisturizing for a mineral formula! When you first apply it, there's a slight stickiness, but as time passes, it leaves your skin feeling hydrated yet comfortably matte, giving your complexion a healthy-looking effect! What I loved most about this product is that a little goes a long way! This formula isn't thick at all, so you can easily spread a small amount over a large area. This means it'll last longer, which is great! Another plus is that this sunscreen has gentle ingredients, so you can use it with peace of mind. I used it continuously for about 5 days and didn't experience any blemishes or pimples! Lately, with constant mask-wearing, my skin has been acting up, but since using this sunscreen, I've had fewer skin issues! Also, I loved that it has a slight brightening effect! After application, your skin looks noticeably brighter! Lastly, the small opening of the tube makes it easy to control how much product you dispense! With my previous sunscreen, I often squeezed out too much and wasted product, but with this one, it's much easier to control the amount.
ConsIf I had to point out one drawback, it would be that the scent might be divisive. I personally prefer fragrance-free products and use them often. However, I didn't find the scent particularly off-putting! When I first smelled it, I thought it was unique, and I think many people might actually like it. It's not a scent that's likely to bother you too much!
TipSince it's a mineral sunscreen, make sure to double cleanse to remove it properly!

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsAs one of The Hwahae Testers, I can confidently say: ✔️ Not sticky at all ✔️ No white cast ✔️ No oily residue ✔️ Leaves skin feeling fresh and moisturized, not dry ✔️ Texture is just right - not too thick, not too runny ✔️ Adheres well to the skin ✔️ Feels lightweight compared to other sunscreens that can feel heavy ✔️ Makeup applies smoothly over it without pilling Plus, I experienced no tingling or itching after application.
ConsPotential drawbacks: - The scent is unique, reminiscent of fruit tea (personal preference, I didn't mind it) - Might be too drying for those with very dry skin
