1. There's a difference between patting it on and rubbing it in... The more you pat, the more it seems to glow. 2. When stored upright, the product seems to clump at the bottom of the cushion. It might be better to store it upside down after use.

It doesn't fit in my small purse for going out. But on days when I'm not carrying a tiny bag and need to quickly apply sunscreen before heading out, or when I'm too lazy for a full makeup routine, this will be my go-to!

I love that it doesn't have that typical sunscreen scent. There's a slight fragrance at first, but it's supposedly allergy-free, so... I couldn't really notice it after the initial application. The puff is nice and big too, allowing for quick and easy application. And somehow it gives a natural glow - how does it do that?

쏘리 선쿠션 [SPF50+/PA++++]

While sun cushions are convenient, I personally prefer to carry Balon Blanc for touch-ups and use cream-type sunscreens in the morning, especially during summer.

The downsides, as mentioned earlier, are the slight white cast on darker skin tones and the possibility of dryness for those with extremely dry skin. However, as I have relatively resilient skin, I didn't experience any significant irritation.

With a texture lighter than sunscreen, this product applies thinly and evenly, providing hydration without feeling heavy, making it comfortable to use. My morning skincare routine consists of toner, vitamin C, niacinamide, and sunscreen, and this product layered perfectly on top without any pilling. Although my complexion is on the darker side (darker than shade 23), and like most brightening moisturizers and sunscreens, it did leave a slight white cast, I believe most people with lighter skin tones won't have any issues applying it. For two weeks, I alternated between this and my usual Numbuzin Porcelain Skin Tone-Up Beige. While Balon Blanc may not be as natural-looking, it's far superior in terms of convenience and lightweight feel. I'd recommend this for oily and combination skin types. For those with extremely dry skin, it might work well in summer, but could potentially cause tightness or flaking in winter unless paired with an intensive skincare routine.

You need to apply it with some pressure on your fingers, literally patting it on!

- Personally, I found the lingering scent after application a bit bothersome and unpleasant. 
- The product size was surprisingly large when I first received it. It's big enough to fill your whole hand! While the puff design is pretty...

- I have super oily skin and always deal with blemishes big and small. Because my skin is so greasy, I usually avoid sunscreens or cushions with high oil content. At first, I was worried the Sorry Cushion might be too oily, but when I applied it, it briefly sat on my skin before absorbing and leaving a matte finish! It felt great even on my oily skin and didn't cause any blemishes!

You can confidently go out wearing just this! It gives such a natural-looking complexion.

The main drawback was an itchy sensation when first applied. This is why I couldn't write a review immediately. But after using it for 3 days, it doesn't seem to itch anymore. Apart from that initial slight itchiness, there are no other cons!

Size: First off, I absolutely love the size! Usually with sunscreen cushions, the small size and puff make it uncomfortable to pat for long, so I end up buying products I can apply with my hands.

Brightening: It has a natural brightening effect, allowing me to go out with just this sunscreen cushion on. I'm really impressed with how it evens my skin tone.

Skin appearance: It gives a nice, polished look to the skin.

Scent: While the fragrance isn't unpleasant, it's not something I'd want to smell for extended periods. That's probably why some people aren't fans of the scent.

To be honest, my first impression reminded me of old-school Banana Boat sunscreen due to its rich texture and scent. However, the true value of this sunscreen becomes apparent after you've applied it and gone out!
The subtle brightness it provides has good staying power, and your skin looks better as time passes!

I recommend this for its large, convenient size and as a sunscreen for no-base makeup looks.
It's a product that grows on you over time, becoming more appealing than your first impression.

1. The scent... It has that strong, distinctive sunscreen fragrance that's hard to tolerate these days.
2. The ingredients... It's a bit disappointing considering how many sunscreens with great formulations are available now.
3. There's a slightly sticky, rich feeling.

My skin type: Dry

1. Both the cushion and puff are really large, allowing for quick application.
2. It's quite moisturizing.
3. The natural white cast makes it great for a no-base makeup look.

As mentioned earlier, the size is a bit inconvenient, and I don't think it can fully replace a regular cushion foundation.

I'm posting this a bit late due to being sick and running behind schedule. My apologies!

Texture: Once fully applied, it feels comfortable and leaves a subtle Inner Glow. I didn't notice any stickiness, and it didn't feel oily at all.

Scent: I can't pinpoint the exact fragrance, but it seems floral? It's not overpowering or bothersome.

Size: This is both a pro and a con. The large size makes it easy to see in the mirror and apply generously, but it's less portable. Check out the comparison shot with the Espoir cushion to get an idea of the size difference!

Brightening effect: While it's hard to see in photos due to the fluorescent lighting, in person it gives a sheer, slight brightening effect. I found it difficult to use this sunscreen cushion as a replacement for foundation, but it's great for topping up sun protection throughout the day over makeup or a brightening moisturizer when you need extra UV defense outdoors.

While it provides a natural brightening effect and spreads thinly, making it great as a makeup base, I did notice some slight pilling. To combat this, I've started setting my skincare with powder before applying the sun cushion!

The package was just big enough to fit comfortably in one hand. The puff is generously sized, which is great for quick and easy application.

What I loved most was the texture. It applies smoothly with a moisturizing feel, without any slipperiness, and finishes with a soft, powdery touch. This formula works really well for my combination dehydrated skin.

The scent has a subtle powdery note. I've become particularly sensitive to fragrances lately, especially with summer sweat, and I usually prefer citrusy scents in sunscreens. However, this mild powdery scent is pleasantly tolerable.

Sun cushions are so convenient - they don't leave residue on your hands and make it easy to apply the right amount to your face. I find myself reaching for sun cushions more often than traditional sunscreens, especially on busy mornings.

Pro tip: Apply before makeup for better absorption.

It can be a bit tricky to control the amount that comes out, and some product tends to gather in the center of the dispenser! You'll need to be careful with how much pressure you apply.

Before I dive in, let me just say... for someone with dark, dry skin like me, this product is an absolute godsend. I highly recommend it to anyone with similar skin concerns!

1. Perfect brightening: For my 23-24 shade skin, it provides a natural brightening effect of about 0.25-0.5 shades! If you're looking for intense whitening though, you might want to try something else.

2. Texture: It has a cooling effect and feels lightweight, fresh, and hydrating as it goes on! There's no unpleasant stickiness, but your hair might stick to it slightly - it's hard to describe.

3. Generous size: While it's not the most portable, you can cover your face quickly. I've compared it to a tub of Vaseline for reference. Highly recommended as a sunscreen for busy professionals rushing to work!

4. Plays well with makeup: It seems to have great chemistry with foundation! I apply this, then follow up with a glowy foundation.

5. Slight pore coverage for those blessed with visible pores: I wasn't expecting any pore-blurring effect, but surprise!

You can purchase it online for around $20.

•Difficult to control the amount of product on the puff
•Ingredients could be improved
While I'm not an expert on this, I tend to consciously avoid products with certain concerning ingredients
•Portability
Great for use at home, but the size is a bit cumbersome to carry around

•Absorbs well
Large puff saves time + clean and adequately moisturizing feel
It's my first time using a sun cushion and it was incredibly convenient.

•Natural brightening effect

•Light cooling sensation

•Great for reapplication
When sunscreens are excessively drying or oily, reapplication can be uncomfortable, but this product was excellent for touch-ups. Despite its slightly bulky size for carrying around, I often took it with me specifically for reapplication.

1. As it's a sunscreen, I think a slight stickiness is unavoidable.
2. The scent seems artificial, like a typical sunscreen or cosmetic fragrance, which might be hit-or-miss for some people.

1. The product itself, including the mirror and cushion, is generously sized, making it convenient for quick application.
2. It has a brightening moisturizer effect, allowing for a foundation-free look when used with concealer.
3. The complexion-evening effect is subtle and not overwhelming.
4. I enjoyed the slight cooling sensation when it first touches the skin.

Make sure to apply your skincare products in thin layers. If you have clear skin without many blemishes, you can apply this sun cushion all over, then follow with a very thin layer of foundation or cushion for that trendy glowy look that's so popular right now. Alternatively, you could use it in combination with another sunscreen - just apply a thin layer of this sun cushion on top for a clear, luminous finish without any white cast.

If you apply thick layers of skincare underneath, it can pill a bit. Other than that, I had no issues with it at all!

First off, I loved how convenient it was to use this sun cushion instead of having to apply sunscreen by hand. Being a sun cushion, it's considerably larger than regular makeup cushions, so it should last quite a while. The puff is huge too - you can easily fit four fingers on it! However, you do need to dab the puff into the product several times to get adequate coverage, which can be a bit cumbersome. If you're using it mainly for brightening, you might want to apply your regular sunscreen first, then lightly layer this product on top. As for the tone-up effect, it brightens your complexion slightly, giving a clear, luminous glow. The more you pat it in, the brighter it gets. The internal sponge is quite firm, so you'll need to press down firmly and apply it to your skin multiple times. The texture is moisturizing, and while I can't pinpoint the scent, it's pleasantly subtle.
