I bought it because of Boo Seungkwan, but I can't recommend it.

When I applied it, it pilled like dead skin cells. Not recommended...
You'd need to do an extremely thorough base skincare routine for this to work.

When applied, there was no white cast and it felt moisturizing. Recommended for dry skin types.

워터리 에센스 선크림 [SPF50+/PA++++]

I noticed it seemed to cause some blemishes. Since I have super sensitive skin, I was a bit hesitant. But considering I hadn't changed anything else in my routine, I suspect this product might be the culprit.

This product absorbs beautifully into the skin. It has a slight white cast, so I used it as a substitute for a brightening moisturizer with SPF.

I didn't feel that way, but the friend I borrowed it from said it was sticky.

The moisturizing cream was so hydrating and pleasant to apply!
I'm currently using my nth tube of it.

At first, it seems hydrating, but later it becomes as dry as it was initially moisturizing. The biggest issue is that it doesn't really function as a sunscreen. Even though I tend to apply more than others, it doesn't perform its job well. I won't be repurchasing.

It feels moisturizing when applied. Other than that, I didn't notice any significant advantages... Maybe just that it doesn't feel heavy even if you apply a lot? Also, I have quite sensitive skin, but it didn't cause any blemishes.

Sadly, it causes small blemishes to appear. I'm not sure if this entire line of products doesn't suit me, but it feels a bit harsh on my skin.

It absorbs quickly when applied, and for my combination dehydrated skin, it provides a perfectly balanced finish that's neither too oily nor too dry. It's the first sunscreen that doesn't give me that typical suffocating feeling. The way it absorbs is truly excellent.

It's a bit runny, so I sometimes wonder if it's applying properly and if it's really providing effective sun protection

I usually only wear sunscreen, and this one absorbs beautifully and reapplies wonderfully

It was difficult to use around the eyes because it stung

It's great to apply before cushion foundation as it keeps skin hydrated and helps makeup adhere better

There's nothing particularly bad about it. Just be careful with the amount you use, as it can feel a bit rich if you apply too much.

As someone with oily skin that gets dry in winter, I find this product wonderfully moisturizing and hydrating. It might feel a bit rich in summer, but overall it's great. It doesn't cause any blemishes and is gentle on the skin.

Slightly rich feeling when used in summer.
Other than that, it's gentle and generally good

1. Feels moisturizing
2. Easy to apply
3. No white cast
4. Gentle on the skin

For those who want to use a brightening moisturizer but are hesitant to apply it thickly, try mixing it with a watery essence sunscreen! Alternatively, you could apply a layer of watery essence sunscreen first, then add a thin layer of brightening moisturizer on top - that works well too!

Since it's fragrance-free without any particular scent, those who dislike the artificial emulsion smell might find it a bit off-putting.

I used to dislike sunscreens that emphasized pores or dead skin cells and felt sticky, but this one feels moisturizing without sitting on top of the skin. With sunscreens that leave a white cast, you have to carefully apply them while looking in the mirror, but with this one, I can just quickly apply it on my way out - so convenient! I didn't use sunscreen much before, but since buying this at a pop-up store, I've been applying it much more frequently compared to before.

The scent is a bit like a mix of baby powder and emulsion, or maybe hand cream? Personally, the longer I smelled it, the more it made me feel unwell. Apart from this, I don't think there's anything else I'm particularly disappointed with!

Since it's an essence sunscreen, it applies moisturizing and feels smoother than other sunscreens I've used before, which I love! It's great that my skin doesn't feel dry even when I apply it right after an exfoliating toner. I also appreciate that I can put on my cushion foundation immediately after this essence sunscreen, which saves time on my makeup routine. The sunscreen itself feels gentle, so I've been using it regularly!

It has a bit of an artificial fragrance. When I wore a mask after applying it, the scent was quite bothersome to me. However, it probably won't be an issue for most people. Also, because it absorbs so well, I tend to apply more than necessary. Other than that, it was fine.

This review is based on a 20ml sample I received from winning a Hwahae giveaway. I applied the sunscreen after using my emulsion at home. The texture feels hydrating and spreads easily, just like applying an emulsion. It leaves a moisturized feeling without any irritation, tightness, or dryness. There was absolutely no white cast. The ingredients are also gentle, which is great!
