It's moisturizing and absorbs well into the skin.
ConsIt 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.
TipAlways use water-based products for your base skincare routine before applying sunscreen. Otherwise, you'll experience pilling.

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.
ConsThere weren't any particular issues. Maybe a few small blemishes appeared?
TipRecommended for oily skin types

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!
ConsThe 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!

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.
ConsPrice: 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!

Just peel off the seal to use! - It doesn't cake up when applying makeup. I used it with the Hera Silky Foundation and there was no pilling at all. - The texture is lightweight yet moisturizing. It has a fluid consistency between an emulsion and an ampoule, with a slight beige tint. - There's no white cast. Since it's not a mineral sunscreen, you won't get that chalky look. - It doesn't cause blemishes on the face. It seems to be free of pore-clogging ingredients.
Cons- Be careful as it's quite runny and can drip easily! You don't need to apply much pressure. - The scent might be polarizing. Personally, I wasn't a fan. It has a somewhat plastic-like smell.

I feel like it's really helping to soothe my skin! It applies like an emulsion - feels fresh yet moisturizing. It's just fantastic! This is such an amazing sunscreen for summer!!!! I tried it for the first time through The Hwahae Testers, and I think I'll definitely repurchase when I run out!
ConsIt would have been perfect if it were completely unscented... There's that peculiar sunscreen smell, you know?
TipDon't use a heavy cream! Just finish with a light moisturizer before applying this, and you'll get a beautiful glow. Your makeup will go on smoothly too. Highly recommended!

I decided to try this one because it's marketed as gentle on the skin. I'm impressed! It applies smoothly without leaving any white cast, and has a lovely watery texture that absorbs well into the skin. There's no stickiness at all - I even wore it on my feet and ankles with black sandals, and it didn't transfer or leave any residue. I've tried various sunscreens from Ol*** that were supposed to be good for acne-prone skin, but they only made my blemishes worse and were difficult to remove. The Banobagi sunscreen's watery formula is much more appealing to me! +30 day update: I absolutely love this sunscreen! I rarely update my reviews, but I had to share how amazing this is. The more I use it, the more I adore it. I often wear sleeveless tops in summer, and this sunscreen glides on effortlessly from my shoulders down to my hands and fingers without any stickiness. It's unbelievable! Once I finish my other sunscreens, I'm definitely sticking with this product.
ConsThe scent isn't particularly pleasant, but those who aren't sensitive to fragrances should be fine using it. +30 day update: I just wish they could improve the fragrance a bit. I'm somewhat sensitive to scents, and even when lending it to friends, I find myself saying, 'This sunscreen is amazing, but the smell is a bit off.' I think it would be even better if it were fragrance-free. The scent is hard to describe, but if they could address this issue, it would be perfect. Everything else about this product - the packaging, the formula - is excellent!
TipThe scent isn't particularly pleasant, but those who aren't sensitive to fragrances should be fine using it.

Even with slight irritation, I usually develop inflammatory acne and red marks, but this product was so gentle that I reached for it consistently for two weeks, even with my super sensitive skin. After morning cleansing, I finish with toner-essence-moisturizer-sunscreen, and when I apply cushion foundation, it doesn't pill and creates a dewy, hydrated complexion that I'm personally very satisfied with.
ConsWhile it's fragrance-free, I detect a slight scent reminiscent of an eraser...? However, this dissipates after application and absorption, so it's not a problem.

The extremely thin texture, which makes it absorb well, seems to be its biggest advantage. (The 2nd photo shows immediately after application) ▪︎ True to its name 'Repair Cica Sunscreen', it felt gentle on the skin. While I usually break out badly when using organic UV filter sunscreens incorrectly, this one didn't cause any new blemishes after application.
Cons▪︎ Perhaps due to my oily skin, I found it difficult to use because of the sticky feeling. I even considered using it on my body, but it was far too sticky for that. ▪︎ The amount is too small for the price, so I couldn't justify buying it at full price. I don't think it has enough standout features to warrant paying that much.
TipIf you have oily skin, applying some powder after the sunscreen helps reduce the stickiness and makes it more comfortable to wear.

The formula is incredibly hydrating, so it absorbs beautifully! 2. It's great as a base before makeup, and when followed by a primer, it helps makeup adhere well. 3. A little goes a long way, so I can even apply it to my neck. The excellent absorption also makes it perfect for applying to arms without feeling heavy in summer. 4. There's no white cast.
ConsWhile it was great for my sensitive skin and didn't cause any blemishes, I was a bit disappointed that it left white marks on dark clothing when applied to my arms.
