It's also more hydrating than I expected. While the birch one feels moisturizing with a bit of oil, this one feels hydrating with a water-based moisture.
ConsI switched sunscreens after a long time and I'm so satisfied that I don't have any complaints yet... Please keep selling this for a long time...

It's great for sensitive skin and feels wonderfully hydrating! It's also perfect to use before makeup as it doesn't cause pilling.
ConsIt feels quite moisturizing, which makes me wonder if it provides strong sun protection. I'd recommend using this as a sunscreen before applying makeup.
TipThe product seems to be a gentle, hydrating sunscreen that works well for sensitive skin types. It has a good texture that doesn't interfere with makeup application. However, the reviewer expresses some doubt about its sun protection efficacy due to its moisturizing feel. They suggest using it specifically as a pre-makeup sunscreen rather than relying on it for strong UV defense throughout the day.

There's no irritation, and it feels so comfortable on the skin.
ConsI bought this to use under makeup, but no matter what base I apply over it, it emphasizes my pores... Even when I try to control oil, it still happens... It's like magic that makes me look worse than bare-faced.

In summer, my T-zone gets oily quickly while my cheeks tend to dry out, so I prefer lightweight yet hydrating products. The Etude Soonjung Director Moisture Sun Cream lives up to its name with a hydrating texture that's perfect for daily use. After my skincare routine, I gently patted on a thin layer. It absorbed naturally without any pilling, which was great. Cleansing was a breeze too - it washed off easily with just water. The non-sticky, fresh finish makes it ideal for everyday wear.
ConsAfter using it for several consecutive days, I noticed small blemishes appearing under my chin. With my combination skin, I experienced some breakouts in the afternoon when oil production and sweat increased. For those with sensitive or oily skin, I'd recommend a mineral sunscreen instead.
TipI loved how much lighter this hydrating sunscreen felt compared to similar products, and I appreciated that I could use it even on days when my skin was feeling sensitive, without any irritation. However, on particularly sweaty days or when my skin wasn't at its best, I did experience some blemishes, so I tend to switch to a different sunscreen on those occasions. The soothing ingredients seemed to contribute to an overall gentle and mild feel. I was really satisfied with the comfortable texture and easy wash-off feature. It was so convenient that on days when my skin felt extra sensitive, I could even use it in place of my regular skincare routine.

Those with dry skin will likely appreciate how well it hydrates.
ConsAs someone with acne-prone skin that's sensitive and prone to blemishes, I was disappointed that I couldn't use this product. When summer arrived, it caused my skin to break out.

Its light and moisturizing consistency feels like applying a hydrating cream. With no white cast, it's perfect for generous application not just on the face, but also on areas like the neck. Despite being a mineral sunscreen, I didn't experience any stinging sensation in my eyes! While overly dry and matte sunscreens can cause my makeup to pill, this product actually helped my makeup adhere better!
ConsAt first, I thought it was incredibly gentle, but with continued use, I experienced some skin irritation. After changing my skincare routine and applying this Pure Essence sunscreen, my skin turned red and felt hot. It was the most intense tingling sensation I've ever experienced... It might be incompatible with certain ingredients. If you have super sensitive skin, it's probably best to avoid using this when your skin condition isn't at its best. There's a slight rich feeling and stickiness to it!
TipFor those with combination dehydrated skin or those looking to achieve an Inner Glow, this sunscreen might be a great option. It provides excellent hydration while evening out your complexion. However, if you're prone to allergic reactions or have concerns about pores and redness, it's advisable to patch test first. Remember, finding the right sunscreen is key to maintaining a healthy oil and moisture balance in your skin!

ConsWhen I apply this sunscreen, my entire face feels like it's burning. It's especially harsh around the eyes, causing redness and irritation. I thought my skin might be having a bad day, so I tried another sunscreen, which caused no issues. Despite claims of being gentle, this product is anything but mild on the skin.

Even with my combination dehydrated skin, it doesn't make me overly oily, which is fantastic!
ConsThe scent is a bit off-putting... It has this strange milk-like odor that's a bit disappointing. While the absorption and other aspects are fine, the unusual smell is a letdown.

ConsApart from the scent, everything else was great - it's hydrating and not at all thick or heavy.
TipThe product absorbs well and provides good hydration without feeling greasy. It's ideal for those who prefer a non-sticky sunscreen that doesn't leave a heavy residue on the skin. The lightweight texture makes it comfortable for daily use, helping to protect your complexion without clogging pores. While the fragrance might not be to everyone's liking, the overall performance in terms of moisture and texture seems to be a hit.
