Absorbs Well

It's a bit thin, so I had to reapply. There's also some white cast, which made me hesitant to use too much.

I loved using this generously because of its gentle ingredients and generous amount.

카카두 유스 글로우 비타 톤업 선 세럼 [SPF50+/PA++++]

While it seems to absorb well, there's something odd about it. It spreads easily like water, but feels heavy on the skin - almost like using a matte product. Could it be due to the zinc oxide? It feels quite dry. After application, my skin feels a bit suffocated, so I ended up mixing it with a very hydrating sunscreen. It's also quite rich in oils... In winter, it might be tolerable, but the oiliness is still challenging. I suspect the 'glow' it claims to give is actually just shine from excess oil. It leaves my hands feeling greasy too. As someone who applies sunscreen generously, I find the feel of this product, which also contains serum, quite unpleasant. When applying with hands, it pills and creates little bits that roll off. The scent isn't great either. I just can't bring myself to use this product.

I decided to try Aromatica because of its reputation for good ingredients. It comes out like a thin cream and applies with a watery, hydrating texture. When you put it on, it's not exactly lightweight - there's quite a bit of richness! It provides a fairly strong brightening effect, almost like you're wearing makeup. If you have a fair complexion, it shouldn't be too much of an issue. After some time, it settles nicely. The metal ball inside helps mix the product well for easy application.

Despite its thin consistency, it doesn't absorb well and feels heavy on the skin, which was disappointing.

I really liked how it naturally evens out my skin tone.

I personally don't mind the scent, but it's definitely not a pleasant fragrance.

It absorbs well and seems to even out my skin tone just right, which I love!

Unfortunately, it leaves a strong white cast. Despite its water-like consistency, it sits on top of the skin like a layer of powder, which is disappointing.

The ingredients are great. The water-like texture spreads easily when applied.

When you're almost finished with the product, the metal ball can sometimes block the opening, making it difficult to dispense. The bigger issue is that if you're unaware of this blockage and press too hard, it can spray everywhere. You always have to be careful not to get it on your clothes. I hope they can improve it so that while it mixes well, it doesn't block the opening.

This is my favorite Aromatica sunscreen so far. Unlike their previous products that always had issues with water separation, this one has a metal ball inside that helps mix everything well, preventing separation. I love how it provides just the right amount of brightening. With environmental consciousness in mind, I exclusively use this brand for my sunscreen needs.

It comes off easily with cleansing water, but soap doesn't work well for removal

The strong, ammonia-like scent lingers for a long time. Be careful, as it can sting your eyes if you're not cautious

It absorbs well and any white cast fades away after a while

Since the brightening effect is subtle, I use this as a base layer and then apply a brightening moisturizer with better coverage on top to complete my skin prep routine!

The brightening effect is immediate but only lasts about an hour. Even though I apply a generous amount (about the size of a dime), the upper part of my face (the exposed area) still develops freckles... I wonder if the formula comes off easily?

It doesn't trigger blemishes and provides a slight richness that feels comfortable on the skin (impressive for a mineral sunscreen! It doesn't feel tight or constricting). The subtle glow it gives makes your complexion look healthier.

First off, even after vigorously shaking it every time, the product still separated, which was disappointing. There were these gritty particles that felt like, well, imagine eating clams and getting a mouthful of sand - that kind of unpleasant texture. I feel bad for being so negative, but apart from having gentle ingredients for its price point, it wasn't great.

Well, considering the price, there wasn't anything particularly impressive. To be honest, it didn't feel much different from other products.

It's incredibly stubborn... you need to cleanse multiple times to get it off.

Unfortunately, there are more disappointing aspects. First off, the scent... it smells like animal urine. Why does it have such a urine-like odor? I was shocked when I first opened and used it. Then there's the white cast! This isn't brightening, it's just a straight-up white cast. The worst part is that it doesn't wash off easily, even after cleansing twice. Is that good for sun protection? Maybe, but honestly... I bought this for light, no-makeup days, but it's more difficult to remove than actual makeup.

I'm such a huge fan of Aromatica that I use their products for almost all my body and hair care basics. The good points of this product seem to be its ingredients. Also, the packaging is pretty cute! And there's no pilling, which is nice.

I find it works better when mixed with a hydrating essence, adding more moisture to the skin.

As others have mentioned, the smell is quite unpleasant. It's reminiscent of a mix between urine and sour milk, which is bothersome every time I apply it. I wish it were fragrance-free, aligning with the brand's natural image. For me, it feels a bit heavy on the skin, leaving my face feeling slightly suffocated after application. Also, rather than evening skin tone, it leaves a noticeable white cast - more pronounced than other products I've tried.

As someone with super sensitive skin, I appreciate that this product doesn't contain any harmful ingredients. It's gentle and doesn't cause any blemishes or irritation, which is fantastic for me.

If you have dry skin, make sure to build a very solid foundation with your skincare routine. When your oil and moisture balance is right and you don't have dead skin cells, this product works like a charm, absorbing well without pilling.

The scent was an issue at first. Now I've gotten used to it and don't notice any smell, but it took a few weeks to adjust. To me, it smelled like strong soy milk or like crushed pills - a potent, powdery medicinal scent.

The serum-like texture absorbs well. A few gentle pats and it sinks right in. I'm someone who's very meticulous about my skincare routine, and I love that this doesn't pill or slide around even with my thorough regimen. It's great that it stays put even when I put on a mask after application.
