I carefully checked the ingredients and read reviews before purchasing, but unfortunately it doesn't suit my skin. The application is very smooth and it works well under makeup, but it causes small bumps to appear. The fragrance is pleasant. I recommend those with sensitive skin to patch test first.
ConsI'm prone to pustules and folliculitis, and this product causes a lot of small bumps to appear.

This sunscreen feels just like applying a moisturizer - incredibly lightweight and refreshing. I highly recommend it for use during the peak of summer. The scent is pleasantly subtle too. There's a slight stickiness right after application, but it's minimal. The quantity you get for the price is quite reasonable.
ConsThere's nothing particularly negative to mention. The product performs exactly as described when you use it.
TipSince I actually prefer a slight white cast, I found it works well when mixed with Missha's Cotton Sun for an ideal finish.

It feels incredibly hydrating, like applying a moisturizer. It does have a rich texture, but the absorption is excellent, making it easy to apply.
ConsIt might feel a bit greasy, and those who dislike scented products may not enjoy it. The formula seems too thin and rich for summer use.

ConsThe downside is that the chemical sunscreen stings my eyes. As a student, I'm mostly indoors, so it's only occasionally bothersome when I go out. However, I wouldn't recommend it for those who spend a lot of time outdoors. Even I switch to a mineral sunscreen when exercising outside.

It's white with a slightly moisturizing feel - just your basic sunscreen consistency. ❗️Scent -The scent is also typical of regular sunscreens, so unless you generally dislike that kind of smell, it shouldn't be polarizing. 💖It's truly a back-to-basics, no-frills sunscreen.💖
Cons❗️Oil content -First off, my skin type is super sensitive and dry. As mentioned above, true to its basic nature, it's quite rich in oils. However, it doesn't feel excessively greasy. ❗️Eye irritation -Sigh... It really stings my eyes. While most regular sunscreens do sting, this one is no exception. If you have sensitive skin like mine, you might want to be cautious.

I'm satisfied because it has the texture and absorption I was hoping for! It feels like I'm just applying a moisturizer without the typical sunscreen sensation, which I love. It didn't clog up around my nose, and there were no issues when applying makeup over it. The scent is pleasant too. Overall, it's a product that works well for everyday use!
ConsEven after applying powder on top of my makeup, the product's high moisture content seems to cause a slight oil breakthrough.
TipFor best results, first dispense an appropriate amount onto the back of your hand or palm, then dab it onto different areas of your face before spreading. This method helps it absorb well and creates a nice, thin layer!

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.ProsFor dehydrated oily skin Texture: Much thinner compared to other sunscreens Scent: Reminiscent of a floral fragrance Slight cooling effect No white cast, and being an aqua sunscreen, it's thin and hydrating. It applies smoothly, feeling like you're putting on an emulsion! I have combination dehydrated skin, and when I apply this sunscreen before my matte cushion foundation, the combination works great! I usually avoid aqua sun gels due to stickiness, but after trying this, I'll keep using it because it pairs so well with my cushion! The price is very reasonable. I've been using it consistently for about a week, and it hasn't caused any blemishes or small pimples.
ConsThe distinctive scent might be polarizing. There's a slight stickiness, probably due to the moisturizing oils, which is more noticeable compared to mineral sunscreens. For oily skin types like mine, if using this alone, it's best to finish with a no-sebum powder.
TipApply this hydrating sunscreen before a matte cushion foundation. When using alone, finish with a no-sebum powder!

I thought my previous sunscreen was moisturizing, but this one feels like applying a cooling emulsion. There's no pilling either. The name 'Aqua' really suits this product! There's no white cast, so it's perfect to use before applying base makeup. Scent: While others mentioned disliking the fragrance, I'm not particularly sensitive to scents, so I didn't find it overpowering. Oil Content: There's a slight richness to it. As someone with dry skin, I often feel a bit of dryness after applying sunscreen, but I didn't experience that with this product. I recommend this for those with dry skin who need that extra moisture! Overall: Compared to other sunscreens that felt a bit heavy, this Aqua Sun is truly hydrating and refreshing. There's no white cast, and it absorbs smoothly without pilling. I recommend this for those with dry skin who need that extra richness!
ConsDrawbacks: While it doesn't sting my eyes as much as my previous sunscreen, I have very sensitive eye area, so I felt a slight tingling. I asked my sister and mother to try it, and they didn't experience any stinging sensation.

As someone who's always loved moisturizing skincare, I have to say this product is incredibly hydrating and so easy to apply. Some people mentioned the scent, but I personally found it quite pleasant. It absorbs so well that even though I usually dislike applying sunscreen, I've been able to use this faithfully every single day. Highly recommended!
ConsAfter using it for a week, I've noticed a few drawbacks, though not many. Given how hydrating it is, it can feel a bit rich over time. When wearing just the sunscreen without makeup, my forehead tends to look a bit shiny, especially with my bangs. This might be less noticeable for those without bangs. Unless you're as fond of super-hydrating products as I am, you might find this more suitable for winter use when the extra moisture and potential shine are less of an issue.
TipAs mentioned above, this product might produce more shine in summer, so it's likely to be even better suited for fall and winter use!

Fragrance It's not completely fragrance-free, but has a light cosmetic scent. The fresh, subtle fragrance is quite pleasant. 💡 2. Texture and User Experience - This product feels exactly like an emulsion. It has an essence-like texture that's slightly rich, but absorbs well over time, making it great for applying all over the face. - As you can see in the photo, I'm a firm believer in applying 'at least a 100-won coin sized amount' of sunscreen, so I tend to squeeze out a lot and keep reapplying. It spreads smoothly without any pilling, leaving the skin feeling moisturized. It's perfectly fine to use in summer, and would be ideal for winter use. - After using it for a week, I found it to be light and refreshing rather than heavy, making it perfect for going out or heading to work. 💡 3. Price 50ml for 13,000 won seems reasonably priced - neither expensive nor cheap. 💡 4. Expiration Date I received the product in mid-May 2022, and it expires on March 22, 2025, giving it about a 3-year shelf life. The long expiration is nice, but I'll use it up before the end of this year anyway. 🌼 Overall Review 🌼 With my extremely dry, combination dehydrated skin, I absolutely can't use no-sebum sunscreens. On days when I try using no-sebum products hoping for a brighter complexion, the area around my nose and mouth turns white, and no amount of hydration helps - no-sebum products just don't suit my skin. That's why this hydration-rich product seems perfect for my skin type. If you have oily skin, you might find it too moisturizing and heavy, but it's great for combination dehydrated skin like mine. Even though it's very moisturizing, it absorbs over time, leaving a fresh feeling. I'm using it well now, but I think it would be perfect for winter use.
Cons🌞 There weren't really any downsides. I used it for a week without any blemishes appearing, so I applied it confidently. While many people dislike the white cast, I actually think a slight brightening effect would be even better.
Tip🌞 With sunscreen, frequent reapplication is crucial, regardless of the amount. This product doesn't pill even with multiple applications, so it's great for reapplying during long outings when you're not wearing makeup.
