The menthol ingredient gives a slight cooling sensation that's definitely noticeable - perfect for summer use with its refreshing and subtle minty scent. There's no white cast, and it's gentle enough for daily use without irritation. I also appreciate that it's free from coral-harming ingredients.
ConsWhile it doesn't sting the eyes, the cooling effect might be a bit intense when applied near the eye area. It's best to avoid applying it too close to your eyes.

Highly recommended for those who experience facial heat during summer! Personally, I found it refreshingly cool without any eye irritation.
ConsI was slightly disappointed by the lack of a brightening effect. (I tend to prefer brightening moisturizers with SPF!)

Scent: A mild medicinal aroma. Effectiveness: In my experience, it gives a tingling sensation for about 30 minutes, and afterwards, you can still feel a slight tingle when touching your face directly. Application: It spreads smoothly and easily. Perhaps due to its effectiveness, it feels like it's penetrating the skin rather than just sitting lightly on top. You can definitely sense that something is on your face.
ConsPersonally, rather than feeling cool or cold, it gives a mild tingling sensation similar to a cooling patch.
TipTo sum up, it's a sunscreen with a cooling patch-like effect. I haven't tried it in winter, but I think it would work well in all other seasons.

The menthol scent isn't irritating. I was worried about the menthol since I'm sensitive to eye stinging from sunscreens, but I didn't experience any. There's just a slight cooling sensation that makes you go 'Oh, I see!' Even when it got in my eyes a bit, it felt cool but not stinging at all! The texture is close to liquid but doesn't run. It's so thin and free of white cast that I wondered if I'd applied enough. It didn't cause my makeup to pill and I love the matte finish. The cooling sensation lasted quite a while for me, but not to a distracting degree. It's just enough to feel non-irritating. It applies so thinly that I wondered about its UV protection, but if it works well, I'll use it often. I'm quite sensitive, but I didn't experience any blemishes. The scent is only noticeable when applying, which passes my sensitive skin test. While it's a bit unfamiliar and just shy of feeling potentially irritating, I think it's perfect for hot summer days! I plan to stick with this for a while.
ConsThe menthol-like cooling sensation is refreshing, but it might be slightly distracting for some.
TipTry applying a small amount under your eyes and wait for about 5 seconds if you think you feel irritation. It's actually not irritating. I used this as a base and then touched up with a sun stick throughout the day. I'd recommend not using a mist over this sunscreen.

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.Pros• Texture: Thin consistency that spreads easily and runs a bit over time. • Scent: Reminiscent of mint candy with a peppermint aroma. • Size: Smaller than a palm, making it convenient for on-the-go application. • Feel: After application, it's not exactly powdery, but it's not overly sticky either, which is nice. The thin consistency allows for easy and even spreading. • Effectiveness: I found it a bit intense for facial use, so I only tried it once on my face. When applied to the body, I didn't feel much cooling on arms or legs, but it provided a refreshing sensation on the back of the neck and shoulders. Seems suitable for summer use. I appreciated that it spread evenly without leaving any white cast.
ConsWhen applied to the face, there was irritation around the lips. The philtrum area, in particular, felt quite intense. It wasn't just a cool feeling, but more like applying a pain relief patch - it felt hot at first, then cooled down with a 'whoosh'. This intensity made it uncomfortable to use on the face. The sensation was similar to sweating and then feeling the coolness from a fan, but without actual perspiration. Initially, this effect was limited to the area around the lips (philtrum, nasolabial folds, slightly on cheeks and chin), but over time it spread to under the eyes and above the eyebrows. While some might enjoy this intense cooling effect, it wasn't for me. I was also cautious about getting it in my eyes, as I suspected it might cause stinging.
TipThis product seems better suited for body use rather than facial application. Since it contains ingredients that protect marine life, I took it on my trip to Nha Trang and used it up completely!

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.

It also has a subtle minty scent that I love. This fragrance might be a hit or miss for some people. There's no excessive packaging, no sticky feeling, and it doesn't sting my eyes.
ConsI mainly use brightening moisturizers. I don't use foundation or cushion separately, just sunscreen with strong brightening effects, or a combination of sunscreen and brightening moisturizer for milder effects. This one does have some brightening effect, but it's not very strong, which is a bit disappointing for me. It does even out the skin tone moderately.

Surprisingly, it had a firmer emulsion-like texture, making it easier to apply. There's a subtle menthol scent, but it's not overpowering when applied. The emulsion type spreads smoothly without leaving a white cast. As the weather gets warmer, the cooling effect from the menthol is really nice. It lasts longer than expected, making it perfect for the current weather. I've been rotating between 3-4 sunscreens depending on the weather and my skin condition, but lately, I've been reaching for this one exclusively. The moderate cooling effect isn't irritating, and it quickly reduces heat on the skin. It doesn't feel drying in the current weather either. I think I've found my go-to summer sunscreen.
ConsHowever, if you apply too much, it can look a bit greasy. On the skin, it feels like a thick layer of balanced oil and moisture, not an uncomfortable oily feeling. While it doesn't feel unpleasant on the skin, when touched, there's a slightly sticky texture that lingers for a while. Applying less helps, but then the cooling effect disappears quickly, which is a bit disappointing for me.
TipTo combat this, I've been applying a thin layer of a matte mineral sunscreen on top when using this product alone. This helps control the dewy finish, prevents dryness, and maintains that inner cooling effect with a matte exterior for longer. If you dislike the dewy finish of sunscreens, try layering a matte mineral sunscreen on top for a more balanced effect.

As soon as you apply it, you feel an instant cooling effect. No white cast at all! The texture is smooth and glides on easily, making it perfect for both face and body application. Since I have super sensitive skin, I was worried the cooling effect might be too intense for my face, so I've been using it as a body sunscreen instead. The affordable price makes it great for generous body application! Is this what you'd call a menthol scent? Anyway, I love that it doesn't have that typical sunscreen smell. Good stuff! Highly recommended for body use.
ConsThe cooling effect might be a bit intense for some people's skin. If you have sensitive skin, it might be a good idea to test a small amount on your face before full application. Other than that, I can't really think of any downsides. It's affordable, easy to control the amount you use, and comes in a nice container.

However, since it's a cooling sunscreen, you might sense a cool minty feeling which could be perceived as a scent, but I absolutely loved it~ *Stickiness: I was worried it might be very sticky since it's a hydrating product, but it's not sticky at all just a moisturized glow. It's perfectly suitable for summer use. *Hydration: Words can't do it justice... It's so hydrating that even for my dry skin, it's amazing. After finishing my skincare routine, I apply this and do my makeup - there's no pilling, and the hydration boost makes my skin feel plump and adhered, making it great for daily use. *Cooling effect Since it's a cooling sunscreen, it definitely brings down the heat in your face, which is fantastic. They say both UV rays and heat are really bad for skin aging, and this product tackles both, so I highly recommend it!! Also, especially in summer when skin temperature rises easily, applying this before going swimming or heading to work makes you feel even cooler!!!
ConsPersonally, I found almost no downsides, but if I had to pick one, it might feel a bit cold in winter...?
TipMake sure to use it in summer~! It's super cooling and a real gem
