Feels refreshing and non-greasy, even in the hot summer, unlike other sunscreens that can make the skin feel heavy 2. No white cast, allowing for easy reapplication without looking cakey 3. Works well with other makeup products (base, color cosmetics) without pilling or separation 4. No sunscreen-like fragrance 5. No stinging or irritation around the eyes even with generous application 6. Maintains a good oil-moisture balance 7. Versatile (can be used as a sunscreen, touch-up, or even as a body product) ▶️Repurchase Thoughts Compared to my previous sunscreens, this one has better hydration and a more refreshing feel, so I would definitely repurchase it, rating it a 10 out of 10.

Additional Recommendation: On days when you're not wearing color cosmetics, it's recommended to apply a mineral sunscreen in the morning and then reapply this product in the afternoon. This will keep your skin hydrated and prevent it from looking overly pale due to the lack of white cast.

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.Pros- First of all, the sample size is quite... This is the first time I've received so many samples as a Hwahae Trial Reviewer. I'm grateful for the products alone... If I like it and it works well, I'll definitely spread the word and purchase it! 🥰 - I was a little worried that the product would be too much like a lip balm and not apply well, but it spreads so smoothly and softly! And it doesn't take long at all to cover my whole face! - The moisture lasts quite a long time! I applied it in the morning before work, and it was still hydrating and not dry by the time I got home. - It's not shiny or glossy like a lip balm, just the right amount of glow. I love it! - The size is perfect for carrying around!
Cons- You can pretty much say there's almost no whitening or tone-up effect. As someone who really needs that in a sunscreen, this is a bit disappointing for me. So I'm still using my regular tone-up sunscreen and just applying this product to the eye area and other spots when I do touch-ups in the afternoon.
Tip- I'd recommend this to anyone who wants hydration without white cast and a glowy skin finish. - I think applying this to areas that need wrinkle care, like around the eyes or other problem spots, could also help with smoothing fine lines.

But this essence sunscreen doesn't dry me out as much. It applies smoothly and lightly without any white cast, so it's great for busy mornings and easy to carry around.
ConsThis is a transparent sunscreen, so it won't provide any tinted coverage.
TipI apply it all over with the stick, then use my fingers to spread it evenly.

This product, however, did not make my skin look overly white, which I really liked.^^ The Airy Recipe sun balm has a smooth and creamy application. Since the application is so smooth, the adherence is also great. After applying the sun balm, I didn't feel like my skin was getting cakey or unnatural. While there is no toning effect, I really liked how it made my skin look dewy and radiant in a subtle way. When applying, I could feel a cooling sensation, but it wasn't an intense, harsh feeling - just a gentle, soothing coolness. I think this product would be suitable even for sensitive skin.^^ The design is also pretty, and it fits nicely in the hand, making it feel good to use. It's also very portable, so this has been the sun product I've been reaching for the most lately!
ConsThe lack of toning effect was a bit disappointing, though.
