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.

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!

Leaves skin feeling firm, creating a great base for makeup
Cons# Blemishes Strangely, while applying it, I felt like blemishes might appear, and sure enough, a few large inflammatory ones did pop up :( # Tingling There's a constant slight tingling sensation when using it Especially when your skin barrier is compromised or you're not in good condition, it really stings.. # Shininess It's on the oilier side..? Especially those with oily skin probably can't use this in summer It's okay if you apply matte makeup over it, but if you use this sunscreen alone, the oiliness is no joke..
TipAlthough it's marketed as a gentle product, it stung for me personally, so those with sensitive skin should patch test Not recommended for oily skin types unless it's winter

With no scent and no white cast, I wonder if there's a sunscreen out there that's as convenient to use as this one.
ConsI was satisfied with every aspect of this sunscreen except for one thing. The ingredients don't seem to agree with my skin. I looked it up and found it contains organic UV filters. Could I be sensitive to those? Unfortunately, every evening after applying it, I'd notice one or two blemishes on my cheeks. It's such a shame that it causes breakouts.

ConsI have dry skin, so I bought this hydrating sunscreen. However, when I went out on a slightly windy day after applying it, my skin became extremely dry and itchy. It doesn't seem like a truly hydrating sunscreen. I think it might be more suitable for use in the peak of summer when you're sweating a lot.

ConsThe eye irritation is too severe. I'm not sure if it just doesn't suit my skin, but the eye stinging is really intense. Sometimes my skin feels tingling and I even shed tears.
