I prefer products with a bit of moisture since my skin is quite dry, and this one isn't too oily while also providing a slight cooling sensation, which I really like. It's also convenient because it doesn't leave any residue on my hands when I apply it.
ConsThe amount is quite small. Around the time I'm about to finish it, the contents suddenly fly out and fall to the ground...haha

And the adhesion was great, and there was even a cooling sensation, so I think it's good.
ConsIf I had to point out a downside, it would be that the amount is a little small, but other than that, there doesn't seem to be anything.

The finish is a bit sticky at first, but it absorbs well and becomes smooth. It's quite moisturizing, so I think it's a good product to use before makeup. It doesn't leave any residue on the hands, so it's easy to apply. The formula is a bit firm, so it doesn't easily become soft, so I think it will last a long time. But the application is a bit firm, so you need to apply it with a bit of pressure. If you don't like sunscreen getting on your hands, I'd recommend this. I don't like that feeling either, but with this I can just swipe it on easily. Oh, and it has the typical sunscreen scent.
ConsThe formula is a bit firm, so you need to apply it with a bit more force, but that means it probably won't get used up as quickly.

Interestingly, it's not an alcoholic cooling sensation like the product name suggests, but rather a gradual, gentle coolness that melts into the skin and adheres to the face as you apply it. This helps to slightly lower the facial heat, allowing for better adherence. ✔️Appropriate moisturizing like an essence Even in summer, I tend to avoid thick, dry sunscreens, so I mainly use essence products. While I'll have to see how it performs in dry seasons, for summer it provides adequate moisture without being oily, making it a great summer sun stick recommendation for dry skin! ✔️It feels comfortable, like applying a night cream without being oily Even with my extremely dry skin, I dislike oily products when going out in the summer. There are quite a few sticky sun sticks, but this product has a powdery (?) texture, so it doesn't feel very sticky. Of course, it will be sticky if you rub it in, but even if you heavily apply it over your other skincare, it doesn't slide around.
ConsThe product is pretty and convenient, and there's not much to be disappointed about.🥲 I'll be using this throughout this summer and early fall.
TipI haven't done a lot of makeup testing, but I think it's best to apply the base using a method that doesn't involve a lot of touching. It won't slide off, but the product and base may mix, reducing the effectiveness of the base.

I felt a slight cooling sensation, and it was so easy to reapply that I carried it with me and reapplied it whenever I remembered to while going out with a bare face. 💛 Effectiveness 💛 The biggest advantage is that you can easily apply the sunscreen without having to rub it onto your hands first. When applied, it leaves a slight glow.
Cons🤍 Heaviness 🤍 Since it's not a moisturizing type of sunscreen, there is a sense of it being applied on the face, and it feels slightly heavy right after application. However, it's not overly uncomfortable, and the feeling goes away over time. 🤍 No Makeup Application 🤍 This seems to be an inevitable issue with the stick format. ㅜㅜ 🤍 Fragrance 🤍 It has the typical sunscreen fragrance. It seems they didn't add any additional fragrance, and there are pros and cons to that. 🤍 Dry Stick 🤍 When the stick is a bit dry, the application becomes much less smooth. It even feels like it's stripping away my base makeup, which is disappointing.

Nowadays, UV rays are so severe. Also, as a hybrid sunscreen suitable for the portable purpose, it provides sun protection effect right away, unlike organic sunscreens that require at least 30 minutes. The improved spreadability compared to mineral sunscreens is also a plus. Moreover, there is no white cast, which is a common issue with mineral sunscreens, so I think this is the most suitable ingredient for a portable product. 🙂 Hygienic packaging : The double-cap structure allows for more hygienic usage, which is also good. 🙂 Portable stick type in a small size : Tube-type sunscreens are not that convenient to carry around, and most of the existing stick-type sunscreens in the market are for the body. So the size, a bit larger than a lipstick, which allows direct application on the face and incorporates skincare benefits, was good in terms of portability. Especially when traveling, it was very easy to reapply it intermittently outdoors. 🙂 Skincare benefits + Good for dry skin : Even in the hot weather, the skin can easily get dry indoors due to the strong air conditioning. In such cases, having an essence-containing sun balm was good to apply on the dry areas. 🙂 No greasiness after application : As I have dry skin, I would have disliked it if it felt dry, but I think it's suitable for oily skin types too, as there is minimal greasiness. It has a medium-level finish. There was no pilling or sliding when applied over makeup.
Cons🙁 Short-lived cooling effect : While you can feel an immediate cooling sensation, it disappears quickly without lasting on the skin. Therefore, I think it's difficult to expect the effect of lowering and soothing the skin temperature on very hot days. 🙁 Small usage amount : The short usage amount seems to be the most disappointing aspect. Since I understand the retail price is in the late 20,000 won range, it feels quite expensive. You end up using it up quickly with just a few swipes. 🙁 Slightly sticky initial application : Personally, I didn't find the initial application feel that great. There was a slightly thick, sticky sensation, but it became more familiar to use as the stickiness went away over time and it didn't feel greasy.
TipWhile not a game-changing tip, the ingredients are decent, and there's no eye stinging, so it was quite nice to apply around the eye area like a balm when outdoors.

I apply it to my face and lightly swipe it across my neck before going out, and there's no unpleasant stickiness, just a refreshing cooling sensation and a moisturized feel, so it's not burdensome. Afterward, it finishes off nicely and doesn't feel slippery even when I sweat. It's not drying or anything like that either. Since it's fragrance-free, it would be good for people sensitive to scents as well. It also doesn't crumble or flake off easily, which is great.
ConsThe only downside is that it's a bit small, so it takes some effort to apply it quickly to areas like the neck.

Usage Experience It applies smoothly and feels incredibly lightweight, as if I haven't applied anything. It is moisturizing and there is no tightness. It is not sticky, so there is no burden when applying it to the neck, arms, or legs. 2. Cooling Effect The moment I apply it, I feel a refreshing sensation, and the heated skin is slightly soothed. 3. One-hand Sized The size is suitable for using on the face.
ConsSince the application area is circular, it is a bit inconvenient to apply around the nose.

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.ProsI prefer cushion-type and stick-type sunscreens because applying them with my hands gets messy and inconvenient. This overnight suncare product has a cooling effect, and I've been using it for a week and it's been wonderful :) In the summer, I carry sunscreen with me and reapply it frequently. This product is the perfect size to fit in my pouch, and with its powerful SPF50/PA++++ protection, it can effectively block UV rays, so I use it often. *It can block both UVB rays that irritate the skin in summer and UVA rays that penetrate deep into the skin in winter, so I can use it comfortably all year round. There's no white cast, and it has a moisturizing feel, but the cooling sensation isn't very strong. However, it does have a cooling effect and instantly soothes any heat, making it great for summer use.
ConsIt's convenient to carry, but it feels like it runs out quickly. I guess that's because I've been using it a lot. I wish the amount was larger.
Tip• Since it's both a skincare essence and a sunscreen, I can easily take care of my morning routine with just this one product - it's the best! • If you turn it a few more clicks, you can use up the product left at the bottom cleanly.
