I received the product on July 9th and used only the I Recipe sun balm daily (except for one day) until July 21st. Here's my take: ➰Convenience is top-notch! The compact size fits even in mini bags, perfect for reapplying on-the-go. I mostly travel by car and can easily swipe it on. ➰Texture has a slight stickiness. It's neither super fresh nor matte. I don't mind it, but it might not be for everyone. ➰No pilling whatsoever! I used this product every day except one, when I layered it over a different sunscreen to test - still no pilling, it worked great. ➰No eye irritation at all. ➰Sun protection seems solid. I usually layer multiple physical and chemical sunscreens, so using just this made me a bit nervous. I ended up applying three layers each time. So far, no signs of tanning when I check in the mirror after washing - just a feeling! The biggest perk of this sun balm is ✨applying without getting your hands messy✨ and being able to reapply sun protection easily! As someone who doesn't wear makeup and only uses sunscreen, this product was satisfying for me. The price is reasonable, and I would repurchase.
ConsBlemishes... well, I hadn't had any small bumps for a while, but while using this product, I noticed some appearing on my forehead and cheeks. It could be due to frequent reapplication and weather, but it happened. Also, because you reapply often, it might run out quickly.
TipI just noticed they included a lot of samples!

The stick is far too rigid for comfortable facial application. Having used Round Lab products before, the difference is stark and noticeable. I hate to keep comparing, but Round Lab's formulas glide on smoothly, almost molding to your face. With this product, I found myself having to prep it on my neck first just to make it manageable enough for facial use.
ConsNot only is it uncomfortably stiff, but it also leaves an unpleasant sticky feeling after application. To make matters worse, when I tried to see how much product was left by twisting it all the way up, the contents popped right out. After attempting to reinsert it, the product became a mess, smearing everywhere. It's been nothing short of a disaster.
TipIf you're hesitant about applying it directly to your face like I was, I'd recommend starting with your neck, arms, or legs to get a feel for the product before moving to your face.

ConsWhile there's nothing particularly disappointing, I wish it had a nicer scent. Also, I'm not sure if it's a coincidence, but I ended up getting some blemishes.

It's not heavy either, making it perfect for lightweight application. Although it's a balm, it's not overly oily, so it doesn't leave your skin looking greasy. Scent: It's nearly fragrance-free. There's a very subtle cool, almost minty scent, but it's barely noticeable. I appreciate the lack of overwhelming fragrance. Highly recommended for those who wear makeup frequently. As you can see in the last photo, it actually reduces shine in the light.
ConsOn first use, the surface felt too rough to apply directly, so I had to scrape it. This only happens initially; after two or three applications, it glides on smoothly. When applied, it's hard to feel like you've put anything on. This leads to repeatedly rubbing it in. After using it, I developed a pustular blemish on my philtrum. It appeared in the mask-wearing area, so the product might be a bit too rich there. Since then, I've avoided applying it to areas covered by my mask. While the scent is cool, there's no cooling sensation when applied.
TipIt can make your skin feel a bit dry. Make sure to apply your skincare products thoroughly before using this.

That's when I encountered this sun stick through The Hwahae Testers. It absorbs well, feels less sticky, and the best part? My skin doesn't feel dry even hours after application! I thought I'd finally found my holy grail sun protection product...
ConsUnfortunately, I developed red, bumpy blemishes and small pimples on my cheeks and chin. The only recent changes to my routine were this sun stick and one essence. I'm currently adjusting my usage to pinpoint the cause of these skin issues. Just when my skin was starting to behave... It's disappointing, but once I identify the exact cause, I'll update my review.
TipIf you don't like rubbing the stick directly on your skin repeatedly, try scraping some product off with a spatula for application.

It adhered well to my skin, so I could apply makeup over it without any issues.
ConsPlease make the stick more durable! When I first received the product and tried to roll it up, the entire contents fell out. Also, when I went outside after applying this, my skin got terribly sunburned. While I admit I should have reapplied, I probably won't be recommending this to others.

I liked that this product was moisturizing and didn't leave any white cast.
ConsTo be honest, when I first received the product and applied it to the back of my hand, I didn't like the scent. Considering my sensitive skin, I was hesitant to apply it to my face. So, I decided to test it on the inside of my forearm first. While it was hydrating, the finish wasn't as clean as I'd hoped, and I really disliked the fragrance. I reapplied every 4 hours, but by evening, the area where I applied it became itchy. When I touched it, I noticed small blemishes had appeared. Unfortunately, this product wasn't suitable for me.
TipIt's a good idea to apply this to the skin exposed by short sleeves to protect against sunburn.
