As someone with extremely sensitive, blemish-prone skin, I'm incredibly picky about cosmetic ingredients. I've been trying various sunscreens to find one I can use consistently, and I was intrigued by this sun serum. The ingredients and reviews looked promising, so I bought it with high hopes. The best part is that it applies smoothly like a good serum with an incredibly lightweight texture and absolutely no white cast. It's hard to believe this provides sun protection! The ease of application is definitely a plus.
ConsUnfortunately, my face started stinging intensely right after application. Despite the positive reviews, I felt like the odd one out and considered washing it off immediately. The burning sensation was shocking, and I thought I'd wasted my money again. I had to leave for an appointment, so I applied makeup over it. Surprisingly, despite the stinging, my makeup went on well. When I got home and removed my makeup, the washing process was incredibly painful, and I desperately wanted to scratch my cheeks. Even now, as I write this review sitting on my couch, my cheeks still feel hot, stingy, and tingly. I'm baffled as to why my skin reacted this way, given the good ingredients and positive reviews. I suspect it might be irritating the acne-prone areas on my cheeks, as that's where the stinging and itching are concentrated. For those with blemish-prone skin, be aware that it might not suit you either. I'm really disappointed about wasting money on this.
TipSince it didn't work for me, I don't have any tips to share...

Cons- After using this product, I realized that my super sensitive skin can't tolerate products containing citric acid. I loved the Hamel sun serum so much that I bought the mist, emulsion, and cushion too, but when I apply it, it stings a bit, causes redness, and leads to blemishes. - The opaque container makes it difficult to check how much product is left

Just squeeze some onto your hands and slather it on - no clumping or uneven patches - As a pregnant woman, I'm extra cautious about skincare, but I use this worry-free since it's vegan - The size is perfect for travel - toss it in your makeup bag without a second thought - Minimal oil build-up and pilling - Being fragrance-free is a huge plus for this pregnant nose
Cons- On days when my super sensitive skin is acting up, it can feel slightly tingly - While it could be seen as a pro, it leaves absolutely no visible trace - stepping out with just this sunscreen on is basically going bare-faced

Usually, glow sun serums have that characteristic heavy and suffocating oiliness, so I'd only apply a small amount. But this product doesn't have that at all! The instructions say to use a 500 won coin-sized amount, but that was too much for me. Still, even with a generous application, it doesn't feel heavy! Absorbs well: Often, products with high oil content don't seem to absorb well, and I end up using oil blotting papers to remove excess. But this one just sinks right in! Glow: True to its name, it gives a beautiful glow after absorption. It creates a radiance that wasn't there before... Compatibility with cushions: I usually use two cushions (one for initial makeup, another for touch-ups), and this product works perfectly with both! Typically, when I apply oily sun serums/sunscreens and immediately follow with cushion foundation, it pills and feels heavy. Sometimes I'd skip sunscreen altogether. But this product actually feels like a luminous primer, so I can't help but use it... It's become an essential part of my routine!
ConsTingling sensation..? I feel a slight tingling on my skin when I apply this product. It doesn't happen every time, and it doesn't cause blemishes. I continue using it because I like its effectiveness, but I think there might be an ingredient that doesn't quite agree with me. Still, I'm going to keep using it...
TipMake sure to let it absorb fully before applying your cushion foundation!

And that emulsion-like texture? It's fantastic, really. It didn't pill at all when I applied makeup over it...! Unfortunately, since it didn't suit my skin, these are the only positive points I can mention. It's such a shame...
ConsThe main issue I had was the burning sensation I felt immediately upon application. I experienced this even when I only applied toner and emulsion before using this. The ingredients themselves are supposed to be very gentle... why doesn't it work for me? Sigh... this super sensitive skin of mine. I really wanted to find a sunscreen that worked well for me this time. I wonder which ingredient doesn't agree with my skin?
TipI have combination dehydrated and sensitive skin!
