The scent is quite strong. Much stronger than I expected. Also, it's a bit rich, so if you apply it right after your skincare routine, it pills. You need to apply it when your skin feels dry. Definitely not moisturizing!

It brightens up my complexion beautifully. I also loved how it made my skin look dewy and radiant.

포토덤 크림 [SPF50+/PA++++]

Unfortunately, it tends to pill when you apply foundation on top. It seems best suited for use on its own.

It absorbs well and gives a smooth skin finish. Great for wearing sunscreen alone!

Apply less around the eyes, and just 30 minutes after application, you'll get that perfect skin glow! Highly recommended for those with dry skin who prefer to go foundation-free.

The eye irritation is intense! I usually apply sunscreen generously, so when I first applied this as usual... oh my, the pain! It hurt so much, like something had gotten into my eyes. I couldn't even imagine it was because of the sunscreen. I almost went to the eye doctor. The severe eye irritation made me avoid it for a while, but the skin finish is so beautiful that now I carefully apply it, avoiding the eye area.

This is my holy grail sunscreen. I have combination skin leaning towards dry, and I only use hybrid sunscreens. I can't use purely mineral sunscreens as they're too drying, and I've been using La Roche-Posay's Melt-In line for about a decade before switching to this. I go foundation-free and only apply sunscreen, and the skin finish is incredible. It feels a bit greasy when first applied, but when I check the mirror after arriving at work, my skin looks amazing. Since switching to this, I've received so many compliments on my skin! It's more hydrating than La Roche-Posay, so it might not work for those with oily skin. If you have dry skin, you absolutely must try this.

It's too greasy and feels suffocating. I expected it to combine the benefits of both mineral and chemical sunscreens since it's called a 'hybrid', but it's just a regular chemical sunscreen. If you have oily skin, using this is like dropping an oil bomb on your face.

Nothing particularly outstanding... It's small, so it's convenient to carry around. Some reviews mention it pills like dead skin, but I didn't experience that. It's just like a regular chemical sunscreen.

The rich texture is way too intense! While those with dry skin might find it suitable, for my oily complexion, it was a definite no-go. As soon as I applied a thin layer, my face looked incredibly greasy. It felt sticky and heavy, with a sheen that resembled cooking oil rather than a healthy glow! Absolutely not recommended for summer use!

I'm sorry, but I don't have many positives to share... For me, it was just another sunscreen. However, I will say that it did adhere well to my skin! And I didn't really notice any white cast!

I think those with dry skin would be able to use this product effectively.

If you apply too much or layer it on, it tends to make your skin look overly shiny.

I have super sensitive combination dehydrated skin. This absorbs well like an emulsion, without any tightness, so it's less irritating when applying to the skin. If you use a moderate amount, there's minimal white cast and it seems to maintain hydration.

Make sure your skincare products are well absorbed before applying this for the best results!

The scent is typical of sunscreens, which is a bit disappointing. Those with oily skin might find it a bit greasy.

It absorbs well and has a high PA rating, making it great for summer use. The thin tube opening makes it easy to squeeze out. It doesn't pill when applying makeup, and it might be suitable for dry skin or when your skin feels rough in winter.

All review content reflects my personal opinions and experiences. Results may vary from person to person.

While preferences may vary, those who prefer a matte finish, especially in hot weather when wearing masks, might find this product a bit lacking if used alone. It doesn't dry down to a completely powder-like finish, which some may find disappointing.

I have combination skin with lots of blackheads on my nose and prone to pilling. Out of countless sunscreens I've tried, Bioderma's stands out as the best (definitely repurchasing!).

No pilling issues. My nose is a hotbed for blackheads, whiteheads, and dead skin cells, usually causing makeup to pill. But when I apply this sunscreen and follow with cushion foundation (currently using Rom&nd), it doesn't pill at all.

Makeup applies beautifully. As mentioned, when I use this sunscreen before my cushion, there's no pilling or emphasis on flaky skin. It makes my skin look flawless and improves makeup longevity. I barely need touch-ups.

Absorbs well. The emulsion-cream texture makes it easy to spread. Though honestly, most modern sunscreens have lightweight formulas, so it's not exceptionally unique in this aspect.

Convenient packaging. The narrow, elongated opening makes it super easy to control the amount dispensed. I personally love this feature.

No white cast. While the sunscreen appears white initially, it blends in seamlessly without leaving any chalky residue.

Summary: Great base for makeup, absorbs well, user-friendly packaging for easy dispensing, no white cast, and fragrance-free.

Sometimes I prefer to wear just sunscreen, so I actually like a slight white cast. It provides some tone correction and gives a matte finish, if that makes sense... But this is just my personal preference, so others might feel differently.

I loved how smoothly it applied. I usually use mineral sunscreens, but this one spreads like a cream without any white cast, making it great for reapplication! I already use Bioderma body cream and know the ingredients suit me well, so I'm happy this product worked for me too.

I initially thought this was a hybrid sunscreen based on the promotional images, but looking at the top ingredients, it appears to be mostly organic filters. On areas where I tend to get oily, there was some noticeable shine.

My skin type is combination leaning towards dry. I found the absorption of this product to be quite good. There was minimal white cast, which I personally prefer - though this may vary for others. Since the product claims to be water-resistant, it seemed to hold up well against sweat.

Make sure to let your emulsion or cream absorb well before applying this sunscreen! Also, using oil blotting papers twice should help remove any excess richness.

- If you apply it before a moisturizing cream is fully absorbed, it tends to slide around. 
- It's not powdery, but has a bit of a rich feel to it.

- The texture is neither too runny nor too thick, making it easy to apply. 
- Unlike some sunscreens with an overpowering cosmetic scent, this one has a pleasant, subtle fragrance. 
- I love the slight brightening effect it gives. 
- It's great that it doesn't pill even when I apply a thin layer and put makeup on top. 

Overall, it's a solid, reliable product!

Make sure to let it absorb fully before applying cushion or foundation to prevent your makeup from breaking down.

It's too moisturizing for oily and combination skin types. The oil kept coming through, so when used alone without a base, it wasn't great. I tried using it by itself on a hot, sweaty day, and it felt like the sunscreen was just sitting on top of my skin - I wanted to wipe it off. Not recommended for those with oily skin.

There was hardly any white cast! It's moisturizing, making it great to apply before a matte base. I recommend it for those with dry skin. The scent is almost fragrance-free, so it was easy to apply without any issues.
