Pros

I loved how lightweight the texture is. It's moisturizing and absorbs well into the skin.

Cons

It keeps pilling and comes off like dead skin cells. It was hard to find products that work well with this before applying sunscreen, as it doesn't mesh well with other skincare products.

Tip

Always use water-based products for your base skincare routine before applying sunscreen. Otherwise, you'll experience pilling.

Pros

This is my holy grail product that I've used more than eight times. It's so hydrating! I think the SPF rating changed at some point, but it's still perfect for daily use. I love it!

Cons

There's absolutely nothing to complain about. I just hope it stays available for a long time. Please don't discontinue it!

Pros

Skin Type: Combination [Texture] It's a thin, runny type! While it flows easily, it's not as watery as an ampoule or toner, but rather slightly more fluid for a sunscreen. It's not without viscosity though. It applies lightly and freshly, and has a ⭐️powdery⭐️ finish!!! I think this is its biggest advantage. As someone with an oily T-zone, even when I apply the most mattifying products in summer, my skin still becomes an oil slick, but this one fared much better. From the moment you apply it, you might think there's powder mixed into the product. [Scent] It's fragrance-free~. [White Cast] None at all! It's like an emulsion that doesn't leave any visible trace.

Cons

There weren't any particular issues. Maybe a few small blemishes appeared?

Tip

Recommended for oily skin types

OK

Pros

It absorbs well, leaving skin hydrated without any white cast. Perfect for summer as it's lightweight and non-sticky! The great ingredients mean it holds up even when your pores open up due to sweat in the summer heat.

Cons

There's a faint scent that's almost unscented, but reminds me of tires or rubber. It's temporary, but you might be surprised when you first apply it.

Tip

Since there's absolutely no white cast, it's perfect for daily use in the strong summer sun. I often go bare-faced, so this works really well for me.

OK

Pros

It gives my face a beautiful glow - not like greasy shine, but more of an Inner Glow. It's like having skin that rivals a dermatologist's! When used alone over sunscreen without foundation, it looks truly amazing. The brightening effect isn't dramatic, but rather a subtle enhancement of the complexion.

Cons

If I were to buy this for personal use, it does feel a bit pricey compared to other brands' sunscreens.

Tip

If you're planning to use foundation or cushion over it, apply just a small amount. Using too much can cause pilling with the foundation. For a natural look, try mixing a tiny bit of this with your sunscreen and foundation. It balances out your overall complexion beautifully.

Pros

I have acne-prone, sensitive skin, and while most sunscreens usually gave me at least one blemish, this sunscreen didn't cause any. I really loved this aspect about it.

Cons

The absorption wasn't bad, but since I've been using only hydrating sunscreens until now, it didn't feel as moisturizing to me. (Of course, compared to other regular sunscreens, it was more hydrating)

Tip

There was a slight cooling sensation, so it didn't feel unpleasant to apply, but I think powder will be necessary in the summer.

OK

Pros

I've tried many sunscreens that claim to be non-white cast, but this one had the most refreshing finish! First off, it's fragrance-free. The texture is like an essence - moisturizing, thin, and applies smoothly, which I loved. There's absolutely no white cast, and it's so lightweight that it would be perfect to use before makeup. I didn't experience any blemishes while using it!

Cons

The downside is that although it's fragrance-free, there's a slight old cream scent typical of sunscreens? It's not exactly a pleasant smell. It's also a bit richer than I expected, and the oiliness increases over time... (based on bare skin, combination skin type). Of course, it's still less greasy compared to other products!

Pros

Texture and application: Unlike mineral sunscreens that can feel thick and leave a white cast, this organic sunscreen absorbs smoothly into the skin like a skincare cream. It's a pleasant surprise! Right after application, it feels fresh without any stickiness, which is a big plus. The moisturizing effect is fantastic, making it ideal for those with dry skin. Its hydrating properties make it an excellent choice for the base layer in your skincare routine!

Cons

While it feels moisturizing at first, over time it tends to pill, similar to dead skin cells rolling off. As someone with combination sensitive skin leaning towards oily, I unfortunately experienced some blemishes after using this product, which was disappointing. Although it seems to be fragrance-free, there's a distinct scent to this product that I personally didn't enjoy.

Pros

✓ I have combination dehydrated skin that's prone to occasional blemishes and sensitivity! ✓ I generally prefer mineral or hybrid sunscreens ✓ Lately, I've been loving the Cell Fusion C Toning Sunscreen Application: It glides on so smoothly and feels incredibly moisturizing! Now I understand why people use chemical sunscreens! The texture absorbs quickly like a hydrating cream, which I really appreciate. White Cast: I didn't notice any significant white cast! Eye Irritation: I usually opt for mineral or hybrid sunscreens because chemical ones tend to sting my eyes or cause a burning sensation. However, after trying the Admang Ampoule Sunscreen recently, I realized there are gentle chemical options out there! This product also didn't cause any eye irritation or tingling. Ingredients: My skin tends to break out easily when I change my routine or use products that don't agree with me. I was pleased to see this contains cica! While I haven't experienced any blemishes while using this product, I can't say I've noticed a strong soothing effect. Perhaps it's actually preventing breakouts? Scent: I didn't notice any fragrance! It seems to be nearly unscented. For reference, I'm not particularly sensitive to product scents.

Cons

Price: Personally, I try to keep my sunscreen budget under 15,000 won for 50ml, so the price point is a bit high for me. However, because the product is so good, I'd consider purchasing it if it goes on sale for under 20,000 won!

Pros
The Hwahae Testers' Experience Report As someone with acne-prone combination skin, I always have to be careful when choosing sunscreen for summer. Usually, sunscreens feel greasy, cause my makeup to pill, or trigger breakouts. I hadn't found 'the one' yet. But then I tried the Banobagi sunscreen, and I have to say, it's better than many well-known brands I've used. It has an emulsion texture that doesn't feel oily and leaves my skin with a soft, matte finish. It applies smoothly like an emulsion, and my makeup doesn't pill over it, which is great. It doesn't seem to irritate my skin or cause blemishes, so I'm considering purchasing it in the future. Even though I have other products, I find myself reaching for this one. The key point is its incredibly hydrating yet lightweight feel that doesn't leave my skin greasy.
Cons
I didn't find any downsides personally. However, if you're looking for brightening effects or additional features, you might find it lacking. For me, it was gentle and suited my skin well, so I'm satisfied.
Tip
I recommend this for those with blemish-prone skin. It's gentle and contains cica ingredients, so it doesn't cause breakouts. Especially for those who dislike greasy textures, I think this product would be a great fit.
