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.
ConsThere'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.
TipSince 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.

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!

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!
ConsWhile 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.

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. 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.ProsLightweight Formula: The texture is great for everyday use. Especially in summer when sunscreen is a must for your skincare routine, this one applies lightly without causing your makeup to pill. Non-sticky Application: Many people avoid sunscreens or hand creams due to the sticky residue they leave behind. This one dries quickly like an emulsion, without any greasiness or stickiness. Highly recommended for those with sensitive skin who dislike heavy textures. Dewy Skin Finish: While I don't wear makeup daily, I always apply sunscreen. This one gives a natural dewy look, perfect for a light everyday glow. Best of all, it doesn't leave any white cast, so it applies beautifully. Hydrating Effect: It definitely provides good skin hydration. As someone with deep dryness, it feels like I've applied an extra light emulsion while protecting my skin from UV rays. High Sun Protection: It's rare to find facial products with SPF45 that aren't heavy or burdensome. Despite its high protection factor, this product finishes with a refreshing feel.
ConsScent: The fragrance is a bit disappointing. While I appreciate that it doesn't contain potentially irritating fragrances that could cause blemishes, those looking for a pleasantly scented product might not be satisfied. Packaging: The container seems designed for portability. However, it's quite thin and tall, and with the product being quite fluid, it can tip over easily if not stood up carefully after use. If you store it on your vanity, you might want to keep it in a separate holder or be extra careful until the product settles. Adjustment Period: You might experience a pimple or two at first. It's best to use it consistently until your skin adapts.
TipIf you already use multiple skincare products, instead of mixing your moisturizer with foundation, try mixing this product for a lightweight, protected base.

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.

When I heard about the sun protection line from the Banobagi brand, I really wanted to give it a try. I'm glad I got the chance to test it out! After a week of testing, the results are in: No allergic reactions! 👏 👏 I've found another sunscreen I can actually use! Here's my review: 1. Absorption: ★★★★★ 2. Scent: ★★★★☆ 3. Stickiness: ★★★★☆ 4. Hydration: ★★★★★ 5. No white cast It has a fresh finish that glides on smoothly without pilling, and it evens out my skin texture nicely. With its soothing, moisturizing, and firming ingredients, it's perfect as a base. Thumbs up!
ConsWhile I'm generally satisfied, if I had to nitpick, I'd say the scent isn't quite to my liking. It's not overpowering, but it's just not my preferred fragrance.

This is a huge advantage. It goes on so lightly! I appreciate that the quantity is generous and there's no white cast. Personally, I didn't experience any increase in blemishes.
ConsIt feels quite rich, which was more noticeable for me as I have oily skin. The scent is a bit odd, so when I first applied it, the experience wasn't... particularly pleasant. It's like you can really tell you're applying a cosmetic product.
TipI don't think this is a product I'd necessarily repurchase. It was just okay for me. As someone with oily skin, the downsides were more apparent, especially during summer. It might be worth trying in winter, but only if you're willing to blot away excess oil frequently.

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.ProsI love how it absorbs well with a smooth, emulsion-like texture! It's great that it's an organic sunscreen with skin-friendly ingredients, so I can use it without worry! Being a dermatological product, I can trust it and use it with confidence! I think it would be perfect for those with dry skin! There's no white cast, making it suitable for everyone regardless of age or gender! The small size makes it convenient to carry around and reapply on the go. I have acne-prone, sensitive, combination dehydrated skin, but I didn't experience any blemishes after using it! I appreciated that there was no eye irritation after applying this sunscreen!
ConsThe scent is hard to describe, but it has a chemical or artificial smell that might be off-putting for those sensitive to fragrances. While its moisturizing quality is a plus, especially in summer, people with oily skin might find it too greasy and may need to use it with a sebum control product. When I applied makeup after using this sunscreen, the excess oil caused my makeup to separate and wear off quickly. The sunscreen has a runny consistency, so be careful to control the amount when squeezing it out. It's quite expensive for the amount you get.
TipSince it's a hydrating product, it might be better suited for winter use. In summer, it's essential to pair it with a sebum control product for best results!

This sunscreen applied smoothly on my skin like an emulsion, with great absorption. Right after application, it felt a bit rich, but it became refreshingly light as time passed. I liked that there was no white cast, so it didn't feel artificial or like I was wearing anything at all. The first photo shows my skin before application, and the second photo is after applying the sunscreen.
ConsWhile everything else was good, perhaps because it's an organic sunscreen, it seemed to irritate my blemish-prone skin, causing small pimples to keep appearing. If I didn't have sensitive skin prone to blemishes and had skin of steel, I would use this sunscreen. Also, the fragrance was really unpleasant... It had an overly artificial cosmetic smell, if I had to describe it. That's why I'm giving it 3 stars.
