This sunscreen is my first Heb Blue product, and I was selected as a Hwahae Trial Reviewer to leave a review. > Skin Type My skin type is combination, and I have had sensitive skin due to past skin irritation! > Application Other mineral sunscreen products can feel a bit thick, but this sunscreen, being a mineral sunscreen, has a smooth and comfortable application. It spreads evenly!! > White Cast As a mineral sunscreen, this product does have a white cast, but due to the guaiazulene ingredient, it has a slight blue tint. However, it's not overly noticeable, and those with naturally brighter skin tones may not even perceive it as a white cast. :) I have a neutral 21 skin tone, and it just gave me a slightly brightened, tone-up effect. > Product Design The slim, elongated design makes it easy to carry, and the tube-type packaging with a narrow opening allows you to dispense just the right amount. > Breakouts Even with my sensitive skin, I didn't experience any breakouts when using this product! > Fragrance It has a very faint, almost unscented fragrance, and it doesn't cause any discomfort when using. > Texture The texture is just right, not too thick or too thin, with a creamy feel that applies smoothly and evenly. > Pore Clogging It does not clog pores at all!!!!!
Cons> Dryness Since I have combination skin, I tend to experience some dryness on my cheek area. Initially, I felt the sunscreen applied smoothly and comfortably, but over time, I did start to notice some dryness. > Price I was fortunate to receive this product for free as a Hwahae Trial Reviewer, but considering that sunscreen is something I use daily, the price point might be a bit burdensome if I had to purchase it regularly.
TipIf you have a solid skincare routine and apply the sunscreen on top, it should be able to sufficiently cover the dryness. And I think the slight oiliness of the sunscreen is unavoidable. By having a well-established skincare routine and finishing with powder, you should be able to use the product more effectively. 🩷

Morning - Round A Round Green Tea Mild Cleansing Foam 2. Evening - Care Zone Calming Relief Acne Foam ✔The sunscreen I'm using Etude House Soonjung Director Moisture Sun Cream 👍Spreadability, texture Even though my T-zone is extremely oily, my U-zone experiences severe dryness in the summer no matter what I apply, but this sunscreen had pretty good spreadability. It doesn't feel like a mineral sunscreen. 👍Tone-up effect It has a natural tone-up effect, and I've been looking for a tone-up cream lately, so this could be a good alternative. 👍Volume The volume is quite large, so I think I can use it for a long time and apply it generously.
Cons🙃Moisture Although it doesn't feel like a mineral sunscreen, it still ends up feeling dry and I experience that dryness. I'll likely need to do thorough skincare to manage this.

Usually mineral sunscreens are thick and clumpy when applied with the hands, but this sunscreen spreads on smoothly and evenly when applied by hand! ✔️It says it's a half-tone color correcting product, but it brightens my skin in a non-overwhelming way, which I liked. ✔️The elongated and round opening makes it easy to dispense directly onto my face. ✔️The interior feels dry, but the skin finish is clean. It doesn't seem to leave a heavy or greasy look on the surface.
Cons✔️While it applies moisturized, the finish is powdery and a bit drying. Even with a solid skincare base, I could still feel some dryness. ✔️It says it can be used as a makeup base, but due to the dryness, my makeup ended up separating a bit. I think I'll use a more moisturizing sunscreen as my base going forward.
TipI compared this to the Espoir color-correcting sunscreen I've been using: ✔️Moisturization Espoir > Heb Blue ✔️Color Correction Espoir > Heb Blue (Espoir whitens more noticeably) ✔️Spreadability Espoir < Heb Blue ✔️Skin Finish Espoir < Heb Blue (Espoir has a slightly clumpy application) ✔️Use as Makeup Base Espoir Heb Blue ✖️ (Personally, I've never had good luck using white-cast sunscreens as a makeup base, so I don't recommend it.)

Usage: Soft and creamy, applies well No oiliness and not sticky, so great for summer use Has a tone-up effect, so it's good to use when going bare-faced! When first applied, there is a white cast due to the mineral sunscreen (Apply in thin layers) As shown in the second photo, after spreading it evenly, it absorbs well into my skin tone
ConsThe price range is there. Over time, it feels a bit drying ㅠㅠ Since it has little oil content, it might feel dry in the winter Need to have a solid skincare routine and apply it to feel less dryness A bit more oil content would be nice... ㅠ It's too drying
