However, when melted with body heat, it applies smoothly without these issues. - Low stickiness The low stickiness made reapplication comfortable, especially on sweat-prone areas like the neck (in my case). It seems perfect for body use in summer. - Gentle formula I've used Dr.G Mild Up Sun for quite a while, and this product seems equally gentle. I used it without any skin issues and didn't need to visit the dermatologist (I have sensitive skin prone to contact dermatitis and often visit dermatologists). - Air pressure-reducing case(?) Inside the cap, there's a thin, movable inner case(?). While I'm not entirely sure, it seems designed to block external air and reduce internal pressure. This attention to detail in the case design was appealing, though I could be mistaken. - Braille labeling The Braille labeling for visually impaired users is thoughtful. I believe stick formulations are likely the most convenient for those with visual impairments, making this feature even more sensible. While there are many cosmetics for non-disabled individuals, few cater to those with disabilities. It made me wonder if Dr.G could become the first Korean brand to create a line(?) for visually impaired users. Just a personal thought!
Cons- Texture While the application was a positive point, it was also a drawback. Although it has good adherence and spreadability when melted by body heat, the initial texture upon opening the case felt a bit stiff. It's somewhat like applying a glue stick, which might be polarizing. - Stick shape I wonder if the flat, round shape was necessary. A flexible, curved shape that conforms to the skin might have been better. While it's not difficult to apply on the body, the face has many contours and delicate areas that make even application challenging with this shape. - Case design Again, I question if this shape was necessary. After finishing skincare, hands are often moist and slippery with residual product, making this smooth case difficult to open and close. Even a slight difference in level between the cap and body would have made it easier to handle. It's a bit disappointing.
TipThis is a gentle sunblock suitable for both disabled and non-disabled individuals, as it doesn't leave a white cast and adheres well when melted by body heat. Its non-sticky formula makes it ideal for reapplication.

Unlike regular sunscreens that can be a hassle to apply with hands or puffs, the stick format is a great feature. When applied to dry, parched skin, it provides a bit of hydration, making flaky and dehydrated skin feel slightly more moisturized. Despite having sensitive skin, it doesn't cause any blemishes. I appreciate that it's free from allergens, allowing for worry-free use.
ConsIt feels a bit pricey. There's a slight burning sensation when first applied (for reference, I have sensitive, extremely dry skin). You need to apply multiple layers, and because it's somewhat solid, it can break into small particles when rubbing the stick on your face. This means you might need to blend it in with your hands afterward. I don't think I'll reach for it very often.
TipApply this after your basic skincare routine of toner, emulsion, and moisturizer. Don't rub it too vigorously on your face, as the stick's contents can crumble and leave residue on your skin.
