I find it great for reapplying after my morning sunscreen routine - just pop it in my bag and I'm good to go. It's especially reassuring when I'm out for a swim in summer. I love that it doesn't leave any white cast. You know, using this feels less like applying sunscreen and more like giving yourself a little Hwahae treat!
ConsWhile there's nothing particularly disappointing about it, I can't really say if it does anything special for my pores or whatnot.

The scent isn't irritating and it glides on smoothly. I love that there's no white cast. It's great for carrying around - it won't get on your hands when you're out and about, and it's perfect for touch-ups. I quickly apply it when I'm stepping out or taking the kids to school. The best part is you can use it up to the very end! I really love products like this.
ConsIt feels a bit sticky. I was hoping for a more powdery finish. When I went out after applying it and letting my hair down, my hair kept sticking to my face in the wind... ugh. I couldn't really feel any cooling effect. As for pore tightening? Didn't notice that either.
TipAfter my skincare routine, I apply this product and then layer on a more powdery product. It feels like double protection!

Centella & Panthenol Surprisingly, I usually get blemishes from centella and panthenol, but not this time. Maybe because the centella isn't high concentration, it suited my skin perfectly. The ad claims high panthenol content, but I'm puzzled why it didn't cause issues. My guess is the centella and panthenol are masterfully balanced, probably not as high concentration as advertised. Thanks to this, I can finally enjoy these great ingredients! 2. Stickiness Some reviews mentioned it was sticky, so I tried to apply it lightly all over. There was no residue like glue, so I ended up applying 2-3 swipes directly. The stickiness level is similar to when you apply plenty of regular chemical sunscreen. It wasn't overly sticky. 3. White cast Seems to be a chemical sunscreen, so naturally no white cast. 4. Powder is a must for makeup After applying 2-3 swipes, I did my usual makeup routine. It felt similar to wearing chemical sunscreen. In this summer heat, setting powder is absolutely necessary. As expected, oil started to shine through after being out and about. When I got home and reapplied powder, it went on smoothly without caking. Should work well under makeup too!
ConsNo pore tightening effect No cooling sensation (Had to write 20 characters...)
TipRaising it 2mm at a time made application easy and just right. Other reviews mention it breaks if you twist up too much. Great for touch-ups when sweating or rubbing off during outdoor activities.

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.ProsFirst off, it's in stick form, making it super convenient to carry around. With the intense UV rays these days, relying on just one application of sunscreen feels a bit risky. This product is perfect for reapplying on-the-go throughout the day. 1. Design Features: Unlike other stick products, this one has an inner cap inside the lid, which gives it a more hygienic feel and shows attention to detail. 2. Application: It's neither too soft nor too hard, gliding smoothly on the skin without causing irritation. 3. Hydration: With about 63% essence content, it provides a moisturizing effect and gives a nice glow. On hot days when layering skincare and sunscreen feels heavy, this essence sun stick can be used alone, skipping other steps for a quick and easy application. 4. Ingredients: The ingredients seem superior compared to regular sunscreens. Instead of purified water, it contains Jeju volcanic sea water. It also has a cooling effect that helps soothe the skin and reduce heat. What sets this apart from other sun sticks is its portable size and design, along with its high essence content that provides hydration without feeling heavy. The cooling effect is great for calming the skin when it feels hot. With its gentle formulation and good ingredients, it seems suitable for all skin types - oily, dry, or sensitive. I'd recommend this to anyone looking for a mild, non-greasy, and hydrating sun protection product!
ConsWhile it does have a cooling effect, I wish it felt a bit cooler on the skin. It claims to tighten pores, but I couldn't really notice that effect. Also, I found it inconvenient that once you twist up the stick, it doesn't retract back down.

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.ProsThis is a review from The Hwahae Testers. I evaluated the product honestly and transparently without any specific guidelines. For an accurate review, I refrained from using any other skincare products (masks, peels, scrubs, etc.). I wasn't familiar with suncare products containing essence, but thanks to The Hwahae Testers, I had the chance to try one for the first time. While some suncare products left my skin feeling dry after application, iRecipe's Watery Touch Essence Sun Balm instantly moisturized my skin and felt like it added an extra layer of protection to my skin barrier. I could feel a cooling effect right after application, and the subtle, fragrant herbal scent made it comfortable to use without any aversion. Being in stick form and leaving no white cast, it's easy to reapply frequently, so I think I'll be using it often this summer. When hot weather starts, I tend to keep my skincare routine very light. The Watery Touch Essence Sun Balm is packed with six hydrating essence ingredients, allowing me to conveniently combine sun protection and nourishing care at once. I've tried several stick products before, but this was my first time using one with a double cap. I really appreciated how this feature helps keep the product cleaner and in better condition. While many high SPF products often require double cleansing, this product washed off cleanly in one go. It's easy to apply with a quick swipe and removes effortlessly, so I recommend it to those looking for quick and easy sun protection.
ConsWhile I definitely felt the benefits of sun protection, skin cooling, and combined sun and moisture care during use, the pore-tightening effect wasn't particularly noticeable for me. I think I'll need to use it consistently for a longer period to evaluate this aspect.
TipPlease note that once you twist up the stick, it doesn't retract, so only turn the dial as much as needed for each use!

Recently, I've been working 7 days a week, so I've been too tired in the mornings to do a proper skincare routine. I often skipped sunscreen because it took too long to apply. Thanks to this product, I can now apply sunscreen before heading to work. It contains essence, so I can get away with using fewer base products, which saves me time. It also seems to cause less tightness on my face compared to other products. Of course, it's not as hydrating as dedicated skincare products, so make sure to apply your regular skincare thoroughly before using this. 2. Even when I'm too busy to apply it at home, I love that it's in stick form. I can apply it anytime during my commute, at work, or outdoors. Now that masks aren't mandatory, there's no discomfort from wearing a mask over sunscreen either. 3. It absorbs quickly, so it doesn't transfer onto masks or hands, which is great. 4. I love that there's no white cast. It doesn't leave a pale appearance. Some products with white cast tend to clump up into little particles when you repeatedly lower and raise your mask, sticking to your face or chin, or falling off. This product doesn't do that, which is fantastic. 5. It's compact enough to fit in one hand, making it easy to carry around and apply on-the-go.
ConsIt claims to help with pore reduction, but honestly, I'm not sure about that. I'm just satisfied that pores appear less noticeable when it's applied.

Applies smoothly with a moisturizing feel and minimal stickiness. Thoughtfully designed to use every last bit of product. Generous with samples (which feels both nice and potentially wasteful).
ConsWhile it's a limitation of stick formulas, the waxy ingredients might clog pores, so application requires caution. Contains octinoxate, which is a concern for some.
