I thought my eye irritation was due to dryness from contact lenses, but I learned it could be caused by sunscreen. Now that I wear a mask and rarely wear makeup, I'm also trying physical sunscreens. (For reference👩🎓) Brief comparison of chemical and physical sunscreens: ✔️Chemical: Chemically blocks UV rays, slightly oily, improves makeup longevity, may irritate sensitive skin, potential eye irritation. ✔️Physical: Physically blocks UV rays, immediate protection after application, tends to apply dry and stiff, may cause white cast. ✍️ Summary: Good absorption, gentle ingredients, brightening effect, moisturizing finish for a physical sunscreen, a cost-effective sunscreen for a fresh feel ✏️ Application: Medium, slightly stiff but spreads well. ✔️Comparison of physical sunscreens (personal preference): Dr.G Mild < Mediheal Sebum < Scinic Enjoy Safety Mild < Hygee Tone-up Sunscreen (Milky) < Cell Fusion C Laser Sun Screen (Creamy) ✏️ Finish: Powdery & moisturizing Interestingly, the Scinic Enjoy Safety Mild Sunscreen applies more moisturizing but finishes more powdery, while this product applies stiffer but finishes more moisturizing. It's not the oily moisturizing feel of chemical sunscreens, but a powdery yet moisturizing finish that's good for makeup. Overall, it has a fresh finish. ✏️ UV protection: High High SPF and claims to block blue light as well. ✏️ Texture & Color: Standard cream texture, light pink Similar to typical physical sunscreens. Like a regular cream? Similar to Dr.G Mild Sunscreen, while Hygee Tone-up Sunscreen is more liquid-like and unique. It has a light pink color. They say they added pink vitamin for a lively effect. ✏️ Eco-friendly & Gentle ingredients Made without ingredients harmful to marine life and with skin-friendly ingredients. The packaging uses soy ink and is FSC certified. I experienced no blemishes or irritation. ✏️ No eye irritation ✖️ This was the best part. As expected, physical sunscreens don't cause eye irritation. ✏️ Easy to wash off: Medium Not the type that easily comes off with foam cleansing. For physical sunscreens, thorough double cleansing is necessary to prevent blemishes.
ConsIt tends to emphasize dead skin cells a bit and can cake around the nose and eyes. Like all physical sunscreens, applying the recommended two-finger amount results in severe white cast.
TipIf you have time, try applying the recommended amount of sunscreen in small portions. After applying and waiting a bit, gently press with a tissue, paper towel, or napkin to reduce the white cast.

It doesn't get greasy even long after application, keeping the skin feeling fresh and matte. I also appreciated that it didn't cause any eye irritation.
ConsRight after application, it's hard to tell if it's a brightening effect or just white cast, which can make your face look a bit ghostly. Careful control of the amount is essential. Perhaps because it's a sebum-control product, the texture feels slightly thick when applying. It's quite different from emulsion-type formulas that spread easily and feel moisturizing.
