It can be applied smoothly and evenly. The stick format makes it easy to apply on the arms.
ConsThe formula is firm, and the flat application surface makes it difficult to apply it evenly on the face. As it's a sun balm, it has an oily feel, which can be burdensome to use in the summer when sweating. The excess sun balm at the end of the stick is difficult to use, which is a waste.

Being a balm type, it's really easy to apply.
ConsThere's not much to dislike... If you apply too much, it might feel a bit sticky and unabsorbed, but that's not really an issue.

There was no white cast, and it wasn't very sticky after application. It was moisturizing and I really liked it.
ConsThe volume is small. It applies easily, so I think I end up using more than expected.

The stick format is nice because there's no clumping.
ConsThere's nothing particularly bad about it. It's convenient for travel too! My only wish is that the very last bit could be used up cleanly when I finish the product.
TipI apply it after my skincare routine and it absorbs nicely. If I don't do that, it can feel a bit like it's just sitting on top of my skin.

It also has the characteristic of blasting away oil, and this product is on the drier side! ☺️ I was very satisfied and used it. If the drawbacks were addressed, I would have repurchased it many times. But the downsides were more significant to me, so I hesitated to repurchase it ㅠ
ConsThe amount seemed very small. Also, due to the stick-type, it's quite troublesome to use up the remaining product stuck inside after finishing the product. Given the small amount, the price seemed rather steep.
TipThere's no special way to use it ㅋㅋ Just swipe it on your face. This one didn't irritate my eyes, so I even applied it under my eyes to take care of my freckles, and it seemed to work fine :)

It's great for quickly reapplying sunscreen when you're in a hurry or out and about. The scent is like a light herbal fragrance, almost unscented, which is not overbearing. The application is also satisfactory.
ConsThere is a certain degree of stickiness and oiliness, so it's good to keep that in mind when using it.

But through the Hwahae Trial Reviewer program, I got to try a product that is neither mineral nor cream-type. This product turned out to be non-irritating and convenient to carry around, so I used it all the time - on sunny days, rainy days, and whenever my skin felt dry, applying it for a moisturizing effect. Although I had some concerns about the ingredients, I ended up using it without any issues like pilling or other problems. The stick type is a great advantage as it doesn't get on my hands and I can apply it directly to my face. Applying with hands can sometimes feel sticky and stuffy, you know.
ConsThere wasn't really anything I was particularly disappointed with. I wish there were more gentle mineral sunscreen products that those of us with sensitive skin could use without worry. (I'm not sure if a stick-type with the right formulation would be possible.😂)
TipFor people like me who sweat a lot in the summer and struggle with a different kind of dryness compared to winter, I think it's best to apply a light moisturizing cream first, and then use this product on top as a portable option to reapply throughout the day!

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.

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. Easy to apply Compared to applying lotion or cream, it glides on smoothly without leaving any residue on the hands. It was great for reapplying on areas like the nose bridge where my makeup had completely melted off on very sweaty days. The previous rectangular sunstick was hard to apply precisely on delicate areas, but this one was easy to apply gently. 2. Less oily formula The typical balm-type formula tends to be quite oily, but this one has less oil content. I didn't experience any slippage or greasiness when applying it before my makeup. 3. Long-lasting amount Like applying Park Jin-young's lip balm, I generously applied it back and forth, and after 2 weeks of use, I had only used about a quarter of the product. It should last over 8 weeks with regular use. 4. Additional inner cap for more hygiene Regular sticks sometimes have the outer cap come off, causing the product to roll around and dry out over time. This one has an extra inner cap to prevent those issues.
ConsI didn't really feel the cooling sensation as described on the detailed product page. Also, the application area is quite narrow, so it's better suited for the face rather than the body.
TipIt's great to keep at home to finish off your skincare routine, but the compact size also makes it convenient to carry around and reapply when your makeup starts to wear off from sweat. (Reapply on top of makeup, don't use it to remove makeup - use makeup wipes for that!)
