  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.

  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

  Please consider my personal preferences and opinions! - Texture/Feel/Scent/Color The texture is thinner than a cream! As you can see in the first photo, it doesn't drip, but when shaken vigorously, it gently slides down as shown in the second photo. The feel is smooth and not sticky. There's a slight artificial scent typical of cosmetics, but it's not overpowering or bothersome. The color is milky white! - For my combination skin! It feels beyond hydrating, almost like there's a layer of water on my face! So moisturizing! Dry skin types will likely have a welcome party for this. However, since I always apply cream before sunscreen, it might feel extra moisturizing, but it's definitely not drying. - My usual skincare routine order! Toner - Serum - Cream - Sunscreen I sometimes add or remove an ampoule depending on my mood!

  Cons

  You need to apply it thoroughly and spread it evenly. It tends to clump a bit, so be sure to blend it well! I haven't experienced any blemishes while using this product, so it seems gentle. It stings a bit if it gets in your eyes... so be careful!

  Pros

  Here's my review of the Banobagi Milk Thistle Repair Cica Plus Sunscreen: As someone with acne-prone, super sensitive skin, I'm always cautious when choosing sunscreens. 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.

  Cons

  The 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!

  Tip

  The scent isn't particularly pleasant, but those who aren't sensitive to fragrances should be fine using it.

  Pros

  I definitely felt how gentle this product is! I had an open blemish, but when I applied it, there was no stinging or tingling sensation at all! I noticed it contains cica ingredients, which explains why it didn't cause any irritation or blemishes. At first, I thought it might provide a subtle brightening effect, but it doesn't do that at all. I really felt that the ingredients were high-quality! That said, I didn't notice any particular soothing effects. After application, it wasn't sticky at all, and it felt moisturizing without being too rich. The texture is very water-like, but it doesn't run easily. It's similar to Dal*'s waterfull essence version, but a bit thinner.

  Cons

  Please keep in mind that I have combination dehydrated skin! First off, this product didn't work for me. After applying, I noticed that it became oily after a while, so I didn't get that fresh feeling. As time passed, it started to feel a bit sticky. But setting aside these points, the most important issue is that it's not a good sunscreen for wearing under makeup. When I used this sunscreen alone, my base makeup kept pilling and seemed to float on my skin. I thought it might not be compatible with the cushion I was using at the time, so I tried it with others, but the result was the same - my base makeup always seemed to sit on top of my skin. I saw claims that it would make my skin look clear, but that didn't really happen either. Because it's a moisturizing sunscreen, it felt heavy on my skin. However, I think it might work well for those with dry skin! Also, the sunscreen tends to leak a bit around the cap (I'll attach a photo for reference).

  Pros

  Love that it's fragrance-free and gentle on the skin. As someone who doesn't like artificial scents, I appreciate that Banobagi products are close to unscented, so I have no hesitation using them. The application is smooth and it absorbs well. It provides hydration without feeling sticky. Sunscreen is a must in summer, but who wants to use a cream that feels tacky? This product spreads easily and isn't sticky at all. Plus, it doesn't sting the eyes!

  Cons

  After using it for two weeks, I honestly can't think of any downsides.

  Tip

  The light cream texture means you can reapply it when you're out without experiencing any pilling.

  Pros

  It's not too greasy! As someone with oily skin, I always avoided oily sunscreens, but this one applies smoothly and lightly! It's not very sticky, so it feels refreshing to apply. There's no white cast! It goes on naturally and cleanly, making it great to use as a base layer. Even if you apply multiple layers, it doesn't noticeably whiten or make your skin look shiny, so it's perfect for layering. I have super sensitive skin that's prone to blemishes, but I haven't had any breakouts while using this product! If you have sensitive skin, give this a try!

  Cons

  The amount is less than expected, so it might be disappointing if you're planning to use it for your whole body... For me, it was a good amount to carry around and use on my face. It's not very resistant to sweat and water. I used it before going to the beach, but it wasn't as strong against liquids like sweat and water as I thought. You need to reapply frequently!

  Tip

  If you're using this in winter or have dry skin, try mixing it with your moisturizer for a more hydrating and smoother application!

  Pros

  Texture: It has a white, fluid texture similar to a hydrating moisturizer! When squeezed onto the back of your hand, it's thin enough to slightly run. I prefer this lightweight cream texture over thicker sunscreens, which can be harder to apply and often cause makeup to pill. Usage experience: It applies as smoothly and moisturizing as a hydrating cream! There's no white cast, and it spreads easily without feeling heavy or sticky. Instead, it feels light and hydrating on the skin! However, it doesn't leave a greasy feeling either. Since there's no white cast, it won't lighten your face or adjust your complexion. Overall impression: Sunscreens often cause makeup to pill or lead to blemishes, but the Banobagi sunscreen didn't cause any skin issues, which I really appreciated! Since sunscreen is a year-round essential, I pay close attention to the ingredients. This one contains cica, which seems to make it less irritating for super sensitive skin.

  Cons

  While most sunscreens these days have an SPF of 50, it's slightly disappointing that this one only has an SPF of 45.

  Pros

  1. Absorbs well This sunscreen has the best absorption among all I've tried. It's smooth and moisturizing like an emulsion. 2. Gentle Recently, my skin has been prone to blemishes and became sensitive, so I've been cautious with sunscreens. This product is known for being gentle, and true to its reputation, it didn't irritate my skin at all! 3. Hydrating Some sunscreens can feel sticky after application, but this one leaves your skin hydrated without any stickiness. You can confidently apply makeup or wear a hat afterwards without worry. 4. Skincare benefits This sunscreen contains the active ingredients from the Milk Thistle Repair Cream, plus Cica. It offers both UV protection and skincare benefits in one product.

  Cons

  With an SPF of 45, this sunscreen isn't recommended for extended outdoor activities. However, it's perfect for brief outings or indoor use!

  Tip

  Did you know that even fluorescent lighting indoors can tan your skin? This product is ideal for indoor activities at home or in the office, or for short outdoor trips. Experts recommend using a sunscreen with at least SPF 30 in these situations. Moreover, with its PA+++ rating, this sunscreen offers very high UV protection, making it an excellent choice for indoor use.

  I love how it absorbs well without leaving a sticky residue! I'm using it with the hope that the cica ingredients will help with my redness. It's perfect for a foundation-free makeup look!

  Cons

  If I had to nitpick, sometimes it can pill a bit if you don't apply your base makeup carefully. Other than that, it's a great sunscreen to use!
