I haven't found a sunscreen that doesn't irritate my skin, so I either go bare-faced or only use non-irritating base products! Also, I have dry skin that's parched both inside and out..! Ingredients: The ingredients were definitely good! It was the least irritating among all the sunscreens I've tried! It's not completely irritation-free though. After some time, I felt dryness and itchiness on my forehead, chin, and cheeks where the mask touches... (I think it's because my skin gets itchy as soon as it becomes dry! Those who don't experience itchiness when dry might be fine with it) Natural brightening and application: It doesn't overly brighten but naturally evens out the skin tone! The sunscreen itself has a green tint, so it covers redness to some extent, brightens dark areas, and creates a uniform complexion! When applying, it's moisturizing and easy to blend quickly with a sponge. The finish is adherent and semi-matte! Longevity: Personally, I really dislike reapplying, but with this product, I wore a mask for about 13 hours without reapplication, and my skin tone remained even!
ConsDryness: Since I have extremely dry skin both inside and out, I gently exfoliated with a pad, applied toner in two or three layers, used a hydrating essence, an emulsion with oil, a moisturizer, a rich cream, and then applied this on top.... But after a while, I still felt deep dryness...ㅠㅠ The slight oiliness on the surface blends to create a beautiful glow, so it doesn't look dry, but in reality, it feels dry and my cheeks feel slightly tight..ㅠㅠ As I mentioned earlier, my skin gets itchy as soon as it becomes dry, so I always apply skincare diligently, but about 4 hours after applying the sunscreen, it felt dry...ㅠㅠㅠ This was the most disappointing aspect... If it weren't for the dryness, it would be my holy grail sunscreen...
TipIf you have dry skin, make sure to apply a thorough skincare routine to prevent deep dryness!!! It feels fine when you apply it, but it becomes dry after it sets and time passes!

As you can see in the photo, my skin has noticeable pores and redness. I'm writing this review hoping it'll help others with extremely dry skin. Those with different skin types might have different experiences! ■Features 1. BB cream-like texture Perhaps due to its pore-covering properties, the texture feels more like a BB cream than a typical mineral sunscreen. However, unlike BB creams, it doesn't give a grayish tone to the skin. ■Advantages 1. Natural brightening & evening of skin tone As someone with severe redness, I prefer sunscreens that provide some brightening effect. This product naturally conceals redness. Of course, it's not foundation-level coverage, but it does the job. 2. Smooth application It seems they've done their best to improve the typical stiffness of mineral sunscreens. Yet, it doesn't leave a sticky residue after application. I'd say it's probably the best texture you can get from a mineral sunscreen. It's great for daily use, except perhaps in winter. 3. Pore-blurring effect While it doesn't completely hide pores, it does give a slight blurring effect. I think this would be particularly useful for those who, like me, don't wear makeup daily and only apply sunscreen.
ConsRather than issues with the product itself, my main disappointment comes from how difficult it was to use with extremely dry skin. ■Drawbacks 1. Quick deep dryness Even with maximum moisturizing beforehand, you can feel your skin drying out quickly underneath. This makes reapplication a bit challenging. While it might be fine if you're only using this product, it wasn't suitable for use with foundation. It made my skin makeup feel excessively thick. 2. Clumping and breakdown I'm not sure if this is due to my dry skin or the nature of mineral sunscreens. After applying the sunscreen and going about my day, I'm shocked when I look in the bathroom mirror. The product breaks down and clumps like white powder in various areas of my face. It settles into wrinkles and around the corners of my nose. 3. Not for the lazy Honestly, I rarely wear makeup and usually just apply sunscreen before heading to work. I apply sunscreen with a 'just because it's necessary' mindset. So when my skin condition isn't great, this product really emphasizes dry patches. It's not suitable for casually patting on quickly. You need to approach it with a makeup application mindset. The advantages I mentioned are only achievable when your skin is in top condition. Of course, this might not apply to diligent users or professionals.
TipI don't have any special tips, but if you moisturize as much as possible, you can apply it with a dewy-yet-matte finish. Here's how I layered my skincare: Toner → Ampoule → Essence → Emulsion → Sunscreen

Decent improvement in complexion (no excessive white cast) 2. Provides a subtle glow effect 3. Comfortable grip for easy application Review after about 4 months of use: 1. Natural skin tone enhancement (no white cast, skin looks clearer) 2. Generous amount (still over half left after daily morning use) 3. Subtle glow (not overly shiny, but requires thorough base makeup)
Cons1. Initially feels moisturizing when applied, but a sense of dryness sets in immediately (I usually only use Dr.G Hydra Sun line due to deep dryness) -> As expected, deep dryness starts after about 3 hours. Oh no, my hydration! Review after about 4 months of use: 1. Actually, it's the opposite now. Feels slightly dry when applying, but becomes more moisturizing over time. (If Dr.G Hydra Sun feels like applying water, this feels like applying a hydrating cream) -> What was initially a drawback is no longer an issue
TipApply about a pea-sized amount of sunscreen. Make sure to reapply every 4-5 hours, even if you're not directly exposed to sunlight (UV rays are present everywhere, including from fluorescent lights and at night)

However, I decided to apply as a tester because it had no harmful ingredients. No harmful ingredients, can you believe it?! Packaging: The packaging is quite interesting! At first, I tried to open it from the top, but then I noticed a dotted line on the side. When I tore along it, I was surprised to see only white paper. Turns out you need to rotate it about halfway and tear completely along the dotted line. I just ended up opening it from the top anyway. It made me chuckle while opening it. Scent: I usually have an aversion to sunscreens with strong or strange scents. I once bought a department store brand sunscreen that a friend recommended, but the smell was unbearable. So I prefer sunscreens with no scent at all. This one is great because I can use it without any negative reactions. Application: It applies well. At first, I thought there might be a white cast, but after about 5 minutes, it had completely melded with my skin. No need to worry about that aspect. Redness Coverage: The product claims to cover redness, and it does give a natural brightening effect. The photo makes my skin look red, but in reality, it's not. Not sure why the photo turned out that way... Surface Feel: True to its sebum-controlling properties, it feels more like it's adhering to the skin rather than feeling moisturizing. Unlike products that get oily over time, this one doesn't. As someone with combination dehydrated skin who dislikes excess oil production, I prefer matte products, so this seems to suit me in that regard.
ConsInner Feel: While the surface feels matte, the inside feels quite dry. After some time, there's a dry feeling. I'm not sure how much skincare I should do beforehand. I usually avoid heavy skincare products for fear of makeup pilling, so maybe that's why it feels more tight. Sometimes I feel tightness even with just my basic skincare routine, so I tend to focus on that. What should I do if I feel tightness after applying sunscreen? Misting doesn't help as it makes my skin feel even drier over time. These days, with mask-wearing, I thought I could get away with just applying sunscreen lightly before going out, but I might need to rethink my approach. Pore Coverage: It works about as well as a pore primer. I don't have high expectations for pore primers... It covers small pores to some extent, and while larger pores might appear slightly more noticeable, they are still covered.
TipRecommended if you want to cover redness, Recommended if you're looking for a fragrance-free product, If you want to completely cover pores, use this and then lightly apply a sebum-control powder... but I can't vouch for the dryness!
