My skin is quite dry, so I usually layer on two moisturizers before applying sunscreen to avoid a heavy, sticky feeling. But this product is even more hydrating than my moisturizers, so it felt great to apply and wasn't at all heavy. It was especially wonderful to use during this dry, transitional weather season.
ConsAs an expectant mother, I'm sensitive to fragrances. This product has a slightly artificial scent that some fragrance-sensitive individuals may find a bit irritating.
TipAs I've seen in other reviews, those who dislike a shiny, glossy finish can lightly dab on some blotting paper to maintain the inner hydration while achieving a more matte look. On very hot days, I'd use a tissue to gently blot away some of the excess oil, leaving my skin feeling light and fresh.

It's been a while, hello. I'm grateful to have been selected for this event and have been using the product for a week. - Feels like a basic skincare product It's like an extension of my regular skincare routine! The product is very moisturizing and has a nice glide, so it feels like I'm just lightly applying a lotion. Sunscreen is a must before makeup, right? I've built a solid skincare routine, but sometimes the sunscreen formula causes my makeup to lift. But with this product, I felt confident applying my foundation right after - it didn't lift at all! The result was great. This product's formula and application are perfect for the intended purpose. The texture is also incredibly lightweight, so it spreads on smoothly. Previous sunscreens I used were thick and left a white cast, requiring a makeup sponge to apply, but this one just glides on with my fingers. - No white cast! It's often difficult to do a full face of glamorous makeup, so I end up going bare-faced a lot. But with this sunscreen, I can get sun protection without that heavy, obvious sunscreen look. I really believe sunscreen is the foundation of a good base makeup, and this one absorbs into my skin without any white cast, so I can apply a generous amount without worrying about it.
ConsAfter reviewing the full set of comments, it seems the main disappointment was around the fragrance - you really disliked it, to the point where you had to hold your breath when applying it during the later days of the trial. The strong fragrance that doesn't suit your preferences makes it hard for you to consider repurchasing, even though you otherwise really liked the product. Aside from the fragrance issue, the rest of the review is very positive. You were looking for a sunscreen that doesn't cause makeup to lift, and this product seems to have fulfilled that need well. Overall, it sounds like a good sunscreen, just the fragrance was a major drawback for you personally.
TipApply this sunscreen like you would an emulsion in your skincare routine. You can just apply it whenever, like anytime or throughout the day. Wearing sunscreen regularly is really important to prevent skin aging, sunburns, and is beneficial for your skin health overall, so be sure to apply it often. For oily skin types, you can even apply this sunscreen right after toner, before your foundation, and it should work well. Also, the packaging is really nice.

I liked the moderate amount of oiliness that I felt. Since it's colorless, it doesn't leave any marks on my mask or clothes. I'd recommend this to those who dislike a heavy, stuffy feeling!
ConsThere's a strong alcohol or artificial scent, and this fragrance lingers for a little while even after applying it to my face. Those sensitive to scents might find this difficult to use. Everything else is great, but the fragrance is a bit disappointing.
TipI'd recommend waiting a bit before applying your base makeup after putting on sunscreen, rather than doing it right away!!

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.ProsThe product was nicely moisturizing. It wasn't overly heavy or stuffy, just had a slightly thicker cream-like texture. I used to be a bit skeptical of watery sunscreen products because they sometimes lacked proper UV protection, but it seems like they've improved a lot now. I apply skincare essences, lotions, and creams, and then top it off with sunscreen, so in the mornings I sometimes skip the cream since the sunscreen is already quite moisturizing. That's how hydrating it is. I use a semi-matte foundation and dab it on with a sponge, and the combination seems to work well. But for those who use dewy sunscreens, I've noticed that the glow cushion foundation doesn't blend in as smoothly when applied with a dense puff.
ConsI tried to use the product for as long as possible before writing the review, and I don't think it caused any breakouts or issues, though my skin is already quite problematic. However, when I first applied it, there was a very strong alcohol or chemical smell that I didn't like very much. It does dissipate quickly, but still, I'm not the type to closely examine product ingredients, so sensitive users may want to take note of that. I received this as a trial product, and the regular price is quite high. I tried mixing it with another hydrating sunscreen, and in the short term I didn't notice a significant difference, so if the price is a concern, you could consider drugstore sunscreen options as well.
TipPlease refer to the photos for the size and texture of the product.

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 -The texture is light and watery, as the 'airy water' descriptor suggests. It applies like a moisturizing cream! -After application, it doesn't become as moisturizing as a regular cream, but it's sufficiently hydrating to allow for foundation application, without any stickiness. 👍Amount -Since the texture is thin, a small amount is enough to cover the face, so it should last a long time. 👍No Whitening -There is no whitening effect. It doesn't seem to have any tone-up function. You can see in the photo on the back of my hand that there is no noticeable brightening or whitening effect. I actually liked this, as it prevented my face from looking unnaturally bright.
Cons👎Scent -The scent is reminiscent of the white modeling clay we used as children... It's quite strong and has an artificial smell that can be unpleasant upon application. The scent may be a dealbreaker for many.
TipIt's thinner than expected. It spreads out thinly and widely, so you'll need to be careful with the amount you apply, or you may end up not having enough to cover your face.

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.ProsThe package is quite smooth and clean. The sunscreen formula is not sticky and applies well in a moisturizing way, which I liked. However, the tone-up effect seems to be absent or minimal. Due to the moisturizing nature, this sunscreen could also serve as a makeup base in cool weather. Conversely, it may feel a bit stuffy in the summer. While moisturizing, it has a slightly richer feel than a lightweight texture, so it may slightly cling to the hair. When I need to go out without makeup, I personally prefer a sunscreen with a natural and moisturizing effect, so I think I will choose this sunscreen.
Cons1. It has a slightly rich feel, though it is moisturizing. 2. The fragrance is somewhat artificial and takes some getting used to... somewhere between a faint paint and candy scent. 3. The cost-effectiveness is disappointing. 4. It is stated that the non-irritation test has been completed, but everyone's skin is different. For me, there was a bit of a stinging sensation after application.

It applies like a moisturizing cream, just as the name 'water sunscreen' suggests, with good moisture. There was no white cast and I didn't feel any unusual eye irritation. I could apply makeup on top of it without it slipping, so it's good to use before makeup as well :)
ConsThe scent... was a bit like alcohol? It was not a very pleasant scent, which was disappointing...

The smooth and soft application is great for reapplying throughout outdoor activities.💙 𖤐 Product Scent I'm not sure if the plastic packaging or the product itself is the source, but the scent is too strong for my liking.😭😭 𖤐 Product Usage Review Frequent reapplication doesn't cause any pilling or white cast, and the moisturizing effect is great for daily use.😊 Since my T-zone is oily, I just lightly blotted with oil papers and finished with powder.
ConsI'm not sure if the plastic smell or alcohol scent, but the fragrance was too strong to apply on my face.ㅠㅠ
TipThe product is so moisturizing that mixing a small amount with BB cream or foundation works great for a light, everyday look.☺️👍🏻

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.ProsFirst of all, I have acne-prone skin, so I'm very careful when choosing sunscreen. 1. It applies very smoothly like a lotion, so the application is excellent (no irritation). 2. It applies like a lotion, so foundation can be applied on top without slipping or caking, and it finishes with a moisturized look. 3. Even with acne-prone skin, nothing breaks out. 4. The fragrance is decent. 5. Even when applied generously, it doesn't feel heavy or sticky at all!!
Cons1. It stings around the eyes ㅠㅠ 2. It has pore-clogging ingredients! 3. The price is evil...! 4. I said the fragrance is decent, but that's a subjective opinion - it has a slight artificial banana scent. 5. I wonder if it really functions as a sunscreen, as the lotion-like application is a bit too much.
TipThey say to apply sunscreen the size of a 500 won coin, but that's too little for most people who wear makeup. They recommend reapplying it frequently~!

After applying toner, serum, and moisturizer, I usually find my previous sunscreen to be a bit thick, but this product was much smoother to apply. Even when testing it on the back of my hand without any hand cream, it spread on very softly and smoothly. It's just like a regular moisturizer! ✅No White Cast Since the products I've used before had a really bad white cast, I didn't experience any white cast with this product. Lately, my skin tone has gotten much darker, so the foundation doesn't match and I've been mixing it with concealer, but even then, there's still a bit of a white cast. But I didn't feel that with this product. ✅Moisture As someone with dehydrated, oily skin, no matter how many layers of skincare I apply, my skin often still feels dry. But true to its name "Airy Water", I was able to get through the whole day without any dryness. I think this would be a good product to use in the fall and winter.
ConsI strongly do not recommend this product for oily, sensitive skin. It is too irritating. ✅Price I was shocked by the high price of around 40,000 won for 60ml. As a Hwahae Trial Reviewer, I was able to test it for free, but I don't think I would be able to purchase and use it myself. ✅Fragrance There was a constant floral-like scent that I personally disliked. It had a combination of baby powder and some other fragrance that gave a powdery feel. Even though I'm someone who likes to wear perfume, I didn't care for this fragrance. ✅Oiliness By the afternoon, my face became very oily, unlike when I used my previous sunscreen. The oiliness was so noticeable that I could feel it without even looking in the mirror. For oily and combination skin, powder and oil blotting papers are a must! But I just wanted to wash my face off - the oiliness was that uncomfortable for me. ✅Stinging & Irritation Strangely, the more I used it, the more my skin started to feel irritated, which is why I took off one star. And if it accidentally gets in your eyes, it stings them terribly. I had even applied lash serum, but I just had to wipe my eyes. They're still stinging... I'm going to use this product only below my face from now on.😢😢
TipFor oily/combination skin, this product is recommended for fall and winter! Those with dry skin can use it year-round.
