It's easy to remove with just foam cleanser.
ConsIf you apply it too close to your eyes, you'll be crying all day long. On the bright side, it's great for waking you up in the morning when you apply it!
TipBe careful not to apply it too close to your eye area...

I usually dislike the typical sunscreen scent and rarely apply sunscreen despite having a sun allergy. However, this one is completely odorless - perhaps masked by the menthol fragrance. It's absolutely fantastic! There's no white cast or pilling. It applies smoothly, almost like a serum texture.
ConsI don't have any real complaints, but I do wonder if the strong menthol scent and intense cooling effect might be too harsh for the skin. That's my only concern.

It's moisturizing and smooth, making it the best in terms of absorption among all the sunscreens I've tried. Experience: Initially, there's a slight tingling sensation due to the menthol (though not too intense). This actually becomes a plus as it transforms into a cooling effect that lasts surprisingly long. It's perfect for hot summer days. What I loved most was how it doesn't leave an oily residue. At first, I worried it might be greasy, but once absorbed, it sinks right in, leaving skin comfortable. It doesn't feel like wearing sunscreen at all - more like a light emulsion. It's not heavy or suffocating. <Cooling Effect & Sensitive Skin-Friendly> Even hours later, my skin doesn't get greasy. Usually, sunscreen makes my skin sticky and slippery when I sweat, but not this one. As someone prone to redness, I'm very particular about ingredients. This product has safe ingredients throughout and even helps calm redness. If you typically experience hot, red cheeks after applying sunscreen, you won't with this one. It genuinely improves redness - I highly recommend it. <Overall> A hydrating, cooling sunscreen for those prone to redness. If you dislike heavy sunscreens and want one that absorbs well, you must try this. <Photo Review> The review photo shows my skin 8 hours after application. I only applied light powder over the sunscreen, yet it controlled oil well and maintained its effectiveness due to its excellent absorption. For someone prone to redness, maintaining this skin condition after wearing sunscreen is truly remarkable. I consider this an innovative sensitive skin-friendly sunscreen.
ConsBe careful when applying around the eyes. If it gets in your eyes, it will make them water.
TipThis sunscreen sets quickly, so you need to spread and absorb it rapidly. After applying, there's a slight oily residue left on your hands, but you can simply wash that off right away.

The consistency is light with a hydrating formula that applies smoothly and absorbs well without leaving any white cast. It doesn't feel cold when you apply it, but it has a menthol component that gives a refreshing sensation after application. I'm used to this feeling because I use Burt's Bees wax lip balm for both my face and lips, which has a similar cooling effect. The best part is that my face doesn't sweat when I'm doing my makeup. I love the cool, refreshing feeling even when I pat my face with a puff. In summer, I usually get sweaty and my skin looks hazy, but this sunscreen applies thinly and absorbs so well that my makeup doesn't pill. I have severe redness, and when I applied this to my flushed face after a mountain trip, it quickly cooled down my skin temperature.
ConsIt's not really a downside, but try to avoid the eye area. Since it contains menthol, it can cause some eye irritation.
TipIt's good to carry sunscreen with you and reapply it several times. It helps cool down heated skin and reduces sweating.

The vibrant color of the sunscreen perfectly matched the brand and full product name, setting it apart from typical sunscreens. I usually focus on cooling my skin during summer, so I was delighted to win this temperature-regulating skincare product. The application was smooth with a moisturizing emulsion texture, and I felt an instant cooling sensation. The finish was refreshingly light - perfect for the current season. My lips are typically sensitive, but this product was gentle enough not to cause any tingling. It's a relief that it didn't trigger any blemishes on my skin either. I'm definitely considering repurchasing!
ConsWhile I'm not usually sensitive to fragrances, the scent of this sunscreen reminded me too much of medicinal ointments, which was a bit disappointing. Other than that, everything else was fine.
TipI highly recommend using sunscreen after your moisturizer during summer. For those sensitive to fragrances, you might want to consider using this product on your body as well.

The cooling effect is incredible. On a day when the sun was harsh, the areas where I applied this felt amazingly refreshing. 2. It has great absorption and the texture is light like an emulsion, so it doesn't leave much stickiness on the face. 3. It has minimal white cast. I have a bit of a sun allergy, so when I'm not wearing makeup, I apply sunscreen thickly, but this one had less white cast.
ConsAs it's a 'menthol-ish' sunscreen, it can be irritating for sensitive skin. I have a unique skin type that's prone to redness on the cheekbones and sensitive to irritating products. When I applied this, it caused a tingling sensation. Despite the great cooling effect after application, I continued using it, but my redness worsened, so lately I've been avoiding it on my face. However, I've been using it without issues on my neck and limbs!
TipThe best solution for hot summer days is to stay indoors, but when you can't avoid going out, try carrying this and applying a thin layer on your arms. Add a handheld fan to that, and you'll feel incredibly cool and refreshed.

It gives a cool sensation like menthol or mint when applied! It spreads easily without leaving any white cast. When I applied it to my face, the menthol ingredient was a bit intense. However, when used on the body, it felt nice and cool with almost no stickiness. It's perfect for use on the body during hot summer days. I'd recommend it for outdoor activities or exercise.
ConsWhen applied to the face, it was quite irritating and caused a burning sensation for an hour, which was quite uncomfortable. It felt like applying a cold patch to the face. It also caused severe eye irritation, making my eyes water. If you have super sensitive skin, make sure to patch test before applying it to your face!
TipApplying it to the back of your neck gives an instant cooling effect that feels refreshing! During hot summer days, applying it to the back of your neck can provide a cooling sensation for about an hour.

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. 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.Pros1. It truly fulfills its role as a sunscreen. My dark spots haven't increased or grown; in fact, they seem to have slightly diminished. 2. No eye irritation. Being a mineral sunscreen, it doesn't sting my eyes at all. 3. Brightening and color correction: It's white, giving a subtle brightening effect and seems to even out my complexion. 4. Not drying and applies well. Despite being a mineral sunscreen, it absorbs well without leaving a white cast. It creates a good base for makeup and doesn't dry out my skin. I have extremely dry skin, so I was pleasantly surprised. I didn't expect intense hydration, and thought it might be drying, but it exceeded my expectations. 5. Standout feature: Perhaps due to the menthol, it doesn't feel hot but gives a refreshing sensation that wakes you up instantly. 6. Suitable for sensitive skin: As someone with sensitive skin, I'm relieved and delighted that it doesn't cause any reactions. I'm very satisfied with its clean ingredient list.
ConsThe volume isn't particularly large. However, it's adequate, and with sunscreen, it's better to use up a smaller amount and replace it with a fresh one rather than using a large quantity for a long time. The size is convenient for carrying around.
TipApply it in the morning or when you want to wake up - it can help you feel more alert (it's not startlingly strong, but provides a subtle, natural awakening effect).

Hydration and moisturizing power: It applies smoothly to the skin like a milky emulsion. The hydration lasts quite long, making it great for applying base makeup without any flaking! Menthol scent: The cool menthol fragrance gives you a refreshing feeling when you apply it in the morning before heading out!
ConsEye irritation: Perhaps due to the menthol ingredient, I experienced a burning, stinging sensation around my eyes. I'm a bit worried about what might happen if sweat causes it to run into my eyes during summer. While the initial cooling effect was noticeable, as time passed, rather than feeling cool, it started to feel more irritating on the skin. It's almost as if it created a slight warming sensation instead. Personally, this aspect made me hesitant about using it continuously.

As a sunscreen nomad who prioritizes how well it absorbs, I can confidently say this has an excellent texture that would satisfy any skin type. It feels like applying an emulsion, leaves no stickiness, and absorbs so well you might forget you've applied it in the morning. That's how great the absorption is. It's a safe choice overall - good ingredients, no overwhelming scent, and the design and size make it perfect to toss in your bag.
ConsRedness? Heat sensation? To be honest, this sunscreen only pretends to be cooling. As someone with facial capillaries working overtime, redness is my biggest concern. After washing my face and drying my hair in the morning, I'm left with intense redness. Applying this sunscreen gives a cool sensation, like applying menthol or peppermint. However, when you actually touch your face, you don't feel any temperature drop, cooling effect, or reduction in heat. The redness and warmth remain unchanged. It only provides a cool feeling and impression. This is the most disappointing aspect. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone seeking immediate relief from severe redness or heat sensation. However, I would recommend it for its cool feeling, how well it absorbs, and its good ingredients. I've recently been testing 3-4 sunscreens consecutively for Hwahae, and this one had by far the best absorption (as someone with combination dehydrated skin who really dislikes stickiness).
