I love that it's not sticky and doesn't leave a white cast. It's lightweight, so it doesn't cause my makeup to separate or pill when I apply it. It's great for use all over the body, and the affordable price makes it worry-free. The high hydration content seems to provide a cooling effect, making it perfect for hot days. After applying and waiting a bit, it feels like it sets, so I don't have to worry about it transferring onto my clothes.
ConsThe biggest drawback is the scent. On days I use this product, it's like announcing, 'I'm wearing sunscreen today!' The fragrance lingers all day... For me, the scent was too strong. Also, I wouldn't recommend this if you use a lot of skincare products. Due to its high moisture content, it tends to sit on top of other products rather than absorbing well.

It's gentle on the skin with no irritation, leaves no white cast, and doesn't cause any blemishes. It provides just the right amount of hydration without interfering with makeup application - no pilling or sliding. This is the perfect sunscreen for those who wear makeup regularly.
ConsThere's nothing to dislike about this product. I have no complaints whatsoever. Whenever it's on sale, I stock up and use it consistently.

It applies smoothly without causing any pilling with makeup on top. As someone with blemish-prone skin, I'm thrilled that it hasn't caused any additional breakouts. It's really fantastic!
ConsThere's a slight typical sunscreen scent, though it's definitely not as strong as many other products. However, those with super sensitive skin might still notice it.
TipI've been mixing this with an ultra-matte foundation, and the results are amazing! It gives a subtle glow while ensuring thin, even coverage. It also helps prevent the foundation from cracking or breaking apart as it wears throughout the day. I'm really impressed!

I'm not usually one to settle on a single product, but this is the only cosmetic I've been repurchasing non-stop for 5 years! I've tried other brands' sunscreens in between, but nothing matches this one's hydration and value for money. It's incredible - when I apply this, my makeup glides on for a dewy, smooth complexion. Plus, there's no white cast, so even a quick application spreads evenly. It doesn't irritate my eyes and absolutely no pilling!
ConsOf course, I wouldn't recommend this for those with oily skin or those who dislike a moisturizing feel. But that's exactly why I love using it!
TipUse this right after your toner and serum. It's so hydrating that it can double as a moisturizer, so you might not need a separate cream. Also, after applying the sunscreen, let it absorb for about 30 seconds to a minute before applying foundation for that perfect dewy look.

It's my go-to for spring and summer. The hydration is ample, and it has just the right amount of richness. I've simplified my morning routine by skipping emulsion and only using toner + this brightening moisturizer before makeup. My base doesn't pill, and I'm absolutely loving it!
ConsI wouldn't recommend using this alone in fall and winter as it lacks sufficient richness. Be careful on extremely hot summer days, as it might make your skin look a bit too dewy!
TipOn hot summer days, try applying this right after your toner, skipping other skincare steps in the morning.

It applied smoothly and evenly on my dry skin, leaving it feeling hydrated. The sunscreen held up well under makeup without any pilling, which was great.
ConsThe size is too small, almost mini. They claimed it wasn't sticky, but it actually feels quite sticky on the skin.

I've always found it challenging to apply the recommended amount of sunscreen, fearing it would cause my base makeup to pill. However, this product can be generously applied without any pilling whatsoever. It completely eliminates the typical heavy, chalky feeling associated with sunscreens. The product description '#MoisturizerSunscreen' on the packaging is spot-on. You can apply a substantial amount, and it truly feels like a moisturizer. I was thrilled that no matter how much I applied, it never pilled. As a Hwahae Tester, I used it consistently for two weeks during my makeup routine, and I'm 100% certain I'll purchase it with my own money once I run out! Usually, sunscreens with such a pleasant texture have a lower SPF around 30, but this one boasts SPF50+ and PA++++, making it perfect for summer use. Its hydrating properties also make it ideal for dry seasons. I initially tried this product through the Hwahae Testers event because I needed a sunscreen for summer, and it exceeded my expectations! I didn't intend to give such high praise, but it suits my skin so well that I can't help but write a glowing review. I gain nothing from giving only positive feedback - this is truly an honest review.
ConsAt first application, I thought it might be too moisturizing for those with oily skin. However, I noticed it does absorb over time. It's not a product with dramatic absorption. Often, when base skincare is too oily or moisturizing, it can cause makeup to separate or pill, but that doesn't happen with this. Instead, it creates a nice, firm base for makeup. The absorption time is a bit long, but that's partly because I applied a generous amount. Once it's fully absorbed, you can achieve a really satisfying base for your makeup. That's why it's become a must-use product for me, even on busy mornings.
TipTry using this with a cushion puff that already has some base product on it. Your makeup will adhere beautifully and firmly. There's zero skin flaking, and your skin makeup turns out really satisfying.

Texture: When I first applied it to my skin, it felt incredibly hydrating! It also felt lighter than a typical sunscreen, more like applying a really moisturizing hydrating cream. Application: It spreads smoothly without clumping and leaves a pleasantly soft finish! On my skin, there was a slight shine, which actually looked more like a glow, so I liked it! White cast: I was pleased that there was absolutely no white cast, despite it being a sunscreen. Blemishes: I have extremely sensitive skin, so while everything was fine for the first day or two, after a few days my skin reacted a bit. I stopped using it for a few days, and when I tried again after my skin calmed down, it was fine! The ingredients are gentle, and it is indeed mild, but I suppose it varies from person to person.
ConsBreakdown: After applying makeup and wearing a mask, I noticed some pilling and a bit of dead skin cells appearing in the butterfly zone. The way it breaks down isn't very attractive, which is disappointing. Oiliness: As I mentioned earlier, there was some shine, which probably means it's on the oilier side. Fragrance: This is by far the most disappointing aspect. The scent is quite strong and I think it will be very polarizing. To draw a comparison, it smells a bit like 'mom's cosmetics'? I'm quite sensitive to fragrances, and honestly, the scent gave me a bit of a headache. When you're applying something to your face, fragrance becomes a really sensitive issue. Honestly, while the feel of the product was good, because of the fragrance, I can only give it 3 out of 5 points. I really think the scent will be a love-it-or-hate-it situation.

I absolutely loved how it absorbs! Some aqua products can be sticky, but this one seems to have more hydration than oil. It's not sticky at all and feels moisturizing, making it great for body application too! After application: It absorbs quickly, leaving a moisturized feel. No pilling with makeup at all! No white cast and not sticky. Scent: I loved the scent right away, but surprisingly some people dislike it. I thought the subtle, pleasant fragrance would be universally liked, but I guess not! I personally adored it. Product effectiveness: The packaging is sleek and beautiful. I've been a long-time fan of Missha sunscreens, often stocking up during 1+1 sales. This one works great for me. With SPF50+ PA++++, there's no reason not to use it. This Aqua Sun especially suits me well, so I'm 100% going to repurchase. I've been a sunscreen nomad for a while, but I think I've found my holy grail. I strongly recommend this for those with combination dehydrated skin, who want a non-sticky feel even on the body, and a sunscreen that doesn't feel suffocating under a mask. The scent is subtle and pleasant, but since some people dislike it, test it before buying! <This is a Hwahae Testers review, but it's 100% my subjective opinion>
ConsIf I had to pick one downside, it's slightly disappointing that it's a chemical sunscreen. I wish it was a mineral sunscreen like the Cotton Sun Cream.
TipIt's perfect for applying on the body! It's not sticky at all and absorbs really well, which is amazing!

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.
