Hwahae skin, but the longevity is a bit disappointing, so it would be good to apply an additional layer.

I applied other products and my eyes were irritated all day, but with this product my eyes are no longer irritated, so I'm using it for the second time.

레스온스킨 비건 쉴드 무기자차 선크림 [SPF50+/PA++++]

The double-layering process results in severe whitening and a particularly strong feeling of clogged pores.

It doesn't seem to have many good points other than the fact that it spreads well on the face.

I feel like the amount is a bit low.
I'm not sure why, but the amount seems low... about half full in the container?
I'm a little worried it might be discontinued haha.

This product has good spreadability and is lightweight.
I have an allergy to mugwort, and I was using Dr. G for a long time, but I was shocked to find that it was recently reformulated to include mugwort in the ingredients, so I stopped using it. I then went through a period of being a 'sunscreen nomad' for a while, but I've been using a product I purchased after checking the ingredients for over a year now.
Even though I have sensitive skin, I haven't had any major issues. It also washes off well during cleansing.
Since I've only been using mineral sunscreens, I've felt that it was a bit difficult to remove with cleansing water, but this product feels less sticky when removing it.
However, I feel like it may not stay on as well when I sweat (could be just my perception).

The average volume is 50ml, but for some reason it feels like even less. Oh well, that's probably just my imagination!

The sunscreen has only advantages and no drawbacks.
The dense formula applies very smoothly, without any dryness or whitening. Even when worn all day, it does not feel dry.
While it lacks tone correction or coverage, the oily finish gives the skin a slightly luminous and healthy appearance.
Even without cleansing oil, just using the foam cleanser alone effectively removes the sunscreen.
I feel like I've tried at least 50 different sunscreens in my lifetime, but this is one of the best products I've come across, and it will likely be a staple in my routine for some time.

If you have extremely sensitive skin, I would advise against purchasing this product.

Even though the ingredients seemed fine and the reviews were good, I was greatly disappointed. After applying, my face felt a bit irritated, and over time, an itching sensation developed. I tried to ignore it, but the real problem came when I tried to wash my face in the evening. My skin had become so sensitized that even gently touching it caused a stinging, burning sensation, as if the skin had been scraped raw. My face was so painful and inflamed that I immediately threw the product in the trash.

The texture is not as thick as typical sunscreens, so it applies smoothly and evenly like a cream. After application, my complexion is nicely brightened, leaving my skin looking clear and healthy. I did not experience any eye irritation.

I have acne-prone skin, so I'm really diligent with my skincare routine.
It's especially important to take extra care with your skincare when using sunscreen.
Be sure to use a toner to thoroughly hydrate and calm your skin, then definitely use an acne-targeted cream before applying sunscreen. Otherwise, your acne may worsen!!
(+This is just TMI, but my acne has definitely decreased since I switched from just using toner to using a toner mask. Those of you who just use toner, you should try a toner mask once!)

✔️ Stings my eyes
(I've felt eye stinging with every sunscreen I've tried so far, so I'm not sure if it's just me or if there's really an issue. Anyway, my eyes kept watering🥲)

I bought it because the reviews were so good, but it didn't really work for me.
(Even with good reviews, I've often had to throw away products that didn't suit me after using them a few times)
✔️ Has a slight whitening effect (applies with a slight brightening effect)
✔️ No greasiness
✔️ Doesn't stick to hair on my face (just slightly sticks like when using skincare and in daily life)
✔️ No unevenness, pore clogging, or clumping
✔️ Has a scent (I'm very sensitive to scents and get migraines, so I really dislike sunscreen scents. This one has a scent but not as strong as regular sunscreens. So I can still use it. ⚠But when I get in the car after applying it, I feel nauseous)
✔️ Moisturizing (I haven't used many sunscreens before, so I'm not sure yet. I'll use it a bit more and update the review)

The only downside is that it feels a bit pricey. I'm not sure if I'll continue using it.

It's not a sunscreen, but among sunscreens, it was very moisturizing and had good application. There was some white cast, but it wasn't too severe. The tone-up effect was just right.

 Choose skincare products with little to no silicone oil.

 I have no complaints or disappointments about the product itself!

●It is a W/S formula with a silicone oil base.
Therefore, I think it would be better to use products with little or no silicone oil in the skincare routine.

These days, many people have oily or combination skin types, and since this is the last step in the routine,
it would be great if the product description clearly indicated the formula type upfront.

It seems that not all sunscreens provide this kind of detailed information, which is a bit disappointing.

 Lightweight and close-fitting, thinly and evenly applied without feeling stuffy! 
Unprecedented texture, non-nano
I have not experienced any acne from using this.

After reading the review, I bought this sunscreen even though I still had some left.
After using it, it was as good as I expected~!
My mom also repurchased it.

I want to stock up on it in case it gets discontinued or reformulated.
I plan to use this product throughout all 4 seasons going forward.
I highly recommend it.

-Review after 10 months of use-
It's early summer of 2024 now~I'm still using it without any acne issues~
It applies evenly and densely, shielding my face like a protective barrier, effectively blocking UV rays. I'm satisfied with its blocking performance.
However, during the peak of summer in July-August, it may feel a bit heavy, so I'll probably look for a more hydrating formula then.

These days, there are so many new sunscreen products, so I'm curious about trying others too.
I'm interested in using it as a makeup base, and as a tip, I've been mixing a small amount of the BB cream I usually use with this sunscreen on the back of my hand before applying it, which gives a makeupfree effect.
When I want more coverage, I first apply my organic sunscreen and then layer this product on top.

I'm not using it currently, but compared to the ✔️Dr.G Green Mild Up Sun that I used the most, Dr.G feels a bit more watery with a stronger tone-up effect, while Holika Holika is slightly drier.

Compared to the mineral sunscreen I'm currently using well,
✔️Atopalm Zinc Sun has the most moisturizing oily feel. ✔️I'm From Rice and Holika Holika have a similar white veil effect, but Holika Holika is much lighter and without any clumping. ✔️Missha All-Around Safe Block is the most watery in texture, with a feel similar to Atopalm + I'm From, and has more residue than Holika Holika.

The tone-up effect may be a bit weak for my standards, given the thin texture, but for those who don't like the white cast of mineral sunscreens, this could be a good recommendation... Holika Holika has a lot of great skincare products, and I hope they don't discontinue them as they become more popular.

Among the latest sunscreens I've tried, this is the one I like the most 👍Smooth and creamy texture👍 like a light whipped cream, applies smoothly and evenly without any discomfort. A light white veil is applied, but without any greasiness or clumping, making it easy to reapply. No accentuation of flakiness or dryness. With the recent drastic temperature changes, strong winds outdoors, and dry indoor air-conditioning, I've used it for over 8 hours for 4 days and am very satisfied. I didn't experience any acne breakouts either.

Here are the criteria I use when choosing a sunscreen!!
1. Organic or mineral?
For my extremely sensitive skin, mineral sunscreen!!
2. Ingredients & Fragrance
No fragrance that can irritate the skin and respiratory system, and no other sensitive ingredients besides the typical sunscreen ones (zinc oxide, butyloctyl salicylate).
3. Price & Brand
A well-known brand that many people use and can be used consistently for a long time, with a price that's not too burdensome.

Those who dislike the white cast may need to think it over.. I love that it seems to act as a tone-up cream, but if you really can't stand any visible cast, you may need to go for an organic sunscreen..!! As for me, who loves the white cast, there seem to be no downsides!

My skin type is acne-prone, sensitive, and combination. I have all the bad conditions... So I had to carefully consider and choose a sunscreen... (Please refer to the criteria below 😊)
While it's impossible to say there is no white cast, which is a characteristic of mineral sunscreens, it felt less noticeable than others~ It matched my face tone perfectly!!
The ingredients were so, so good~ It didn't feel heavy or cakey on my extremely sensitive skin, and even after 7 hours without any touch-ups, the oil came through! (I always have to powder my face no matter what I use).(Dry-skinned people won't need to powder and won't have any transfer issues either)
It seems to provide excellent sun protection!! 
Not only did my face not tan, but my skin also gradually looked brighter and healthier..(It sounds like an ad, but this is my own money, not an ad from the Hwahae Trial Reviewers 😅)
At first, the volume felt small, but even when I applied a generous amount (about two finger-widths) to my face, it didn't run out quickly!! I used it on my neck as well and it lasted about a month!!
I'm just afraid of it being discontinued, so I'm stocking up diligently.

When my skin condition is poor or I use something incorrectly, my seborrheic dermatitis/rosacea flares up... Now that my skin symptoms have subsided, I'm testing sunscreens and found this to be the least irritating, with no major breakouts, so I've settled on this product.

I'm afraid it might be discontinued since it's not very well-known... It's much better than Dr. G, so Holika Holika, please promote this product more.

This is the best non-comedogenic product I've used so far.
It has good spreadability and is less drying.
It doesn't cause any breakouts (for those with sensitive skin, this product is a pass just for not irritating the skin).
