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.

It feels as light as a hydration cream, and you won't even realize it's sunscreen. There's no greasy feeling at all, but it's definitely not drying either. It's truly a hydration cream in every sense. I think everyone will love this, regardless of their preferences!
ConsThere are no downsides. Just buy it, folks! I have super sensitive skin too, and usually if I apply the wrong product, it's a disaster. But with this one, you can trust it completely.
TipDo you really need tips? Everyone knows how to apply cream. Just apply it like you would any moisturizer!

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!

It provides natural-looking tone correction without any white cast, making it great for daily use. The hydrating finish makes it comfortable to use even on dry days.
ConsOn days when my skin was sensitive, there was a slightly stinging sensation. If you have sensitive skin like me, I recommend testing it first before using. There were also times when applying it caused a stinging sensation in my eyes.
TipApplying skincare products immediately after cleansing can be more irritating, so it's better to wait until the base products have fully absorbed. Applying them 15 minutes before going out ensures a smooth, neat finish without any pilling. In the evening, thorough cleansing is crucial - the skin can feel moisturized with some residue left behind.

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.ProsGentle mineral ingredients: Perfect for sensitive skin, allowing worry-free application without causing blemishes or irritation. Minimal white cast: Despite being a mineral sunscreen, it leaves almost no white cast, making it ideal for daily use. Moisturizing finish: Absorbs smoothly without deep dryness, leaving skin hydrated. Works well even for dry skin types. Fragrance-free: Contains no artificial fragrances, making it suitable for super sensitive skin.
ConsLongevity: If you have oily or sweaty skin, you might need to reapply by afternoon, which is a bit disappointing in terms of staying power. Slightly rich texture: May feel a bit greasy in summer, so those with oily skin might need to follow up with powder. Small quantity: The price feels a bit high for the amount you get. It runs out quickly.

With my typically dry and sensitive skin, I used to always get blemishes and feel uncomfortable when applying sunscreen. However, this one has a moisturizing emulsion-like texture that keeps my skin hydrated without causing unnecessary oiliness or blemishes, even after hours of wear. I've been using it consistently for two years now, and I'm recommending it to all my friends who've experienced the same issues with sunscreen!
ConsI wish they would release a larger size so I could use it on my body too.
