The stick format is great for applying to the neck, and there's no white cast.
ConsIt's a bit firm, so you have to apply it slowly to avoid stressing the skin.

ConsNone, but if I had to find something, the portability is good, but you have to move it around a lot when applying it!

So the review may differ from those who mainly use stick types. Spreadability: I thought it would be thick, but it spreads on smoothly. Fragrance: I don't like artificial floral scents or overpowering fragrances, but this stick has a nice herbal scent. I wish they had a lotion version as well.
ConsIt spreads well, so I feel like it will get used up quickly. After applying, I feel like my skin is coated with something.
TipNothing in particular!

There is no artificial fragrance, so I was able to apply it comfortably without any aversion. Although it is an essence-type sun balm, the texture is firm and dense, unlike some products that feel too runny and make you wonder if they provide adequate sun protection. It applies smoothly and feels substantial without being heavy or stuffy.
ConsAdmittedly, stick products can have the downside of collecting dust, but you can simply wipe it off with a tissue before applying.

Or it's close to the smell of mosquito repellent and grass, which they say is centella scent! Since I prefer sweet scents, the explanation is a bit difficult, but 😂 It's not unpleasant, but rather faint and soft. The formulation contains Jeju volcanic seawater instead of purified water, and with 60% essence, it's very moisturizing and has an oily feel, so it applies smoothly. It was good to use as a base before makeup on dry facial skin. If you apply a lot, the shiny glow lasts for a very long time. The formulation preference may vary, so those who want this type of formulation will love it, while those who don't may dislike it.
ConsThe absorption... seems a bit slow despite how moisturizing it is. When I went out and applied it to my face and body, the parts I applied on my arms and legs felt sticky and oily, leaving a greasy feeling every time they brushed against each other. It felt like it was all over the car seat. You need to be careful not to apply too much.
TipApply it to your face before makeup to create a moisturized base state 😅 But I definitely don't recommend using it on the body... Instead, you can lightly apply it over your makeup as well! I'm a bit worried that the sun protection function might decrease after some time, but that aspect seems really good.

I applied it once and gave it to my father to try, and he said it was so comfortable that he keeps using it. And the area under my eyes is extremely moisturized. The scent is not bothersome, and the part with the inner lid was good too.
ConsI avoided the areas with a lot of sebum under my chin. When I applied it generously for an extended outing, it felt a bit heavy. Other than the price, there don't seem to be many downsides.
TipAreas with no particularly large pores, like the cheekbones, forehead, and between the eyebrows, were good for layering. My skin was dry from the air conditioning, but it felt moisturized.

The moisture lasts for a long time. I often had to apply a lot of moisturizer underneath sunscreen because sunscreens can be quite thick, causing my makeup to slip. But this product is so moisturizing that I don't need to apply much moisturizer, and I don't have to worry about my makeup slipping. The fragrance is also really nice. I used to get breakouts just from wearing sunscreen, but this product doesn't cause any breakouts even when I apply it.
ConsNot suitable for reapplying🙌 Since it's a stick, it's not really suitable for reapplying.
TipI'd recommend this to anyone looking for a moisturizing sunscreen!

The solid form definitely provided better hold and a natural glow on my skin. Although I thought it would be very oily, it absorbed moisture well and felt comfortably hydrated. It's a great product to use as a pre-makeup step. I liked that there was no white cast and it had a subtle aromatic scent. The amount is just right, and the cost-effectiveness is good, so I think I'll continue using it well going forward.
Cons💙The sun balm's characteristic thickness and good hold were great, but if you prefer a softer, more spreadable texture like a sun cream, you may not like it.
TipUsing it before makeup makes my skin feel comfortably hydrated, and my makeup applies better. It was convenient to carry with me on vacation and I used it on my neck and arms as well. It definitely doesn't drip and run like a sun cream. For those who tend to get oily, using it together with a sun cream would be a good idea.

For the last bit of the sun stick, I used a tool to scrape it out, and I'm glad it was designed to be used up completely.😍 ✔️Texture The solid balm texture doesn't get deformed even when applied with pressure.😣 Luckily, as it's a solid balm, I could apply it without any issues. ✔️Spreadability It spreads smoothly and evenly without any clumping.🧹 ✔️Cooling Effect On hot days when I feel heat, applying it provides a refreshing 🧊cooling sensation. ✔️Reapplying It's great for reapplying throughout the day. It can also be applied over makeup without any problems. ✔️Eye Irritation & Skin Sensitivity No eye irritation. Even when my acne flared up due to the hot weather, it didn't cause any stinging or breakouts. ✔️Stickiness It's slightly sticky when applied, but the stickiness disappears over time. Even with 3 layers, it feels fresh and not heavy. ✔️Hygiene & Maintenance The double-cap design prevents any foreign substances from getting in, which is great. ✔️Makeup Compatibility It leaves a slight glow when applied, which pairs well with my cushion foundation.
ConsThe size is small, so it's good for the face, but I wish there was a body-sized version too. It gets used up quite quickly.
TipWhen using it for the first time, don't twist it all the way up. If you hear a clicking sound, it won't go back down again. Carry it with you on hot days. It provides a temporary cooling sensation, so it feels refreshing.🥰
