It pills up terribly, clumps, and gets cakey. I've tried at least a hundred different sunscreens, but this one makes me wonder if it's even a real COSRX product. I usually like and use their other products well, but this one is just... disappointing.

There's absolutely nothing good about this. It's a complete waste of money. It clumps on my face, pills up, and I had to wipe it all off. I ended up just throwing it away.

알로에 54.2 아쿠아 톤업 선스크린 [SPF50+/SPA++++]

You need to apply it over a solid skincare base. It's not an extremely hydrating or rich product, so a good skincare routine beforehand is essential.

It's not as hydrating as I expected. I used it after using Hera's brightening moisturizer. I consider the Dalba brightening moisturizer to be the most hydrating, followed by Hera... I didn't have high expectations, but I still thought it would be more hydrating, so that part is a bit disappointing. I'm not sure if it even brightens the complexion well...? I have fair skin so I wasn't expecting a dramatic change in skin tone, but if you're looking for a product that really evens skin tone, I definitely wouldn't recommend this.

I think it's thinner than most other brightening moisturizers on the market. The value for money is great, it's quite affordable. I've used many COSRX basics, cleansers, cushions, etc., and they've always been good, so I bought this brightening sunscreen to use as a foundation-free option. I was surprised by the low ratings, but maybe because I didn't have high expectations, it's not bad, though it doesn't seem to have any major advantages. (The top one is the Hera brightening sunscreen, the bottom is COSRX). It seems suitable enough for those with oily skin (those with dry skin might want to think it over).

If you're expecting a significant brightening effect, you might be a bit disappointed.

I loved how easily it applied, almost like an essence. The scent is nearly fragrance-free, the ingredients are great, and the brightening effect is subtle and not overdone - it's exactly what I was looking for.

I'm satisfied with it and have no particular complaints. I recommend it.

This brightening sunscreen is refreshing and nice. It's great for daily use.

I appreciated that it wasn't a thick, heavy sunscreen that sits on the skin.

For a brightening moisturizer with SPF, it goes on quite sheer. There's hardly any effect on evening skin tone.

As described, it has a watery texture that applies thinly like a lightweight moisturizer.

The downside is that if you apply even a little too much, it tends to pill like clumped foundation.

I frequently use this when I'm going out without any other makeup, just applying sunscreen.

It's disappointing that the sunscreen tends to clump together too much. If you can apply it without clumping, it should be fine.

The brightening moisturizer seems to give a natural look. It also applies smoothly.

In sunlight, it slightly shows that you're wearing makeup, and I wish it absorbed just a bit better

The complexion correction and mixed sunscreen formula definitely made it absorb well on the skin

I found it's best to keep the skincare steps as light as possible. Applying cream immediately causes pilling. Here's a method I discovered: after light skincare, apply this sunscreen. If it pills, spray some mist or toner on your face and gently pat it in circles to smooth it out. Alternatively, mix it 1:1 with your cream from the start for almost pill-free application. Of course, this might reduce the brightening and sun protection effects.

The application is terrible - it pills no matter how you apply it! I've tried various methods, but it mostly ends up clumping. It's especially incompatible with aloe gel or hyaluronic acid products - it pills like crazy. Also, it's a bit too rich for oily skin. It goes on moisturizing at first, but quickly becomes greasy. Strangely enough, it doesn't cause blemishes. What an odd product.

The natural brightening effect is great, making it perfect for a foundation-free look. When I'm going somewhere nearby, I just use this sunscreen and conceal any blemishes - it gives a clean, bare-faced appearance that I love. Even though I have oily, blemish-prone skin, it didn't cause any breakouts.

Under strong lighting or direct sunlight, it's noticeable that you're wearing something more than just sunscreen - it looks a bit like makeup. However, in normal conditions, it appears quite natural.

As someone with combination skin, I love how smoothly this applies and naturally evens out my complexion. It's able to cover pores and minor blemishes. Perfect for those days when you want a natural look without full makeup.

It caused my skin to break out. I struggled with constant blemishes

It brightens the complexion well, feels moisturizing, absorbs nicely, and the brightening effect lasts for a long time
