UV 프로텍터 액티브 선 밤 [SPF50+/PA++++]

Room for improvement:
- The size is slightly larger than a stick foundation, so it runs out quickly
- The price point

Review after using up the entire product:

What I loved:
- Absorbs like a dream
- No sticky feeling
- Perfect for quickly swiping on the back of hands while driving
- Great for touch-ups on the face when out and about

After testing various sunsticks at Olive Young, I found this one hard to beat in terms of how well it absorbs and its non-sticky texture. Among all the products I've tried, this one stands out. I'm planning to give AHC a shot next, as it seemed the most promising of the bunch.

I received the delivery today, just two days after purchasing, but when I opened it, I noticed the manufacturing date was quite a while ago, leaving not much time before expiration. I wonder if it's not very popular... Maybe that's why they have a lot of stock piled up...

I've been using sunsticks before, but I was curious about the Hera sunstick, so I decided to order it despite the high price. As expected from Hera's sun protection line, I feel confident in its UV protection. The packaging is very slim, clean, and cute. It seems perfect to carry around and use throughout the summer. I ordered it online, but I was a bit disappointed that the promotional package wasn't more generous. It would have been nice if they included a sunscreen sample as a gratis gift.

For those with oily skin, the level of shine is almost unusable. Ladies might describe this as dewy or glowy, but from the perspective of a man with oily skin, it feels like you've doused yourself in cooking oil. I received it as a gift, so I'm reluctant to toss it out and keep using it. But now, my skincare routine ends with an extra step of blotting papers after applying this suncare product.

The ingredients are excellent, and above all, the way it absorbs is top-notch. Plus, Hera's signature packaging aesthetic is absolutely delightful.

I applied this sunstick after my skincare routine and before my cushion foundation, and the cushion went on beautifully over it.

The amount you get for the price is quite small... I'd say that's its biggest drawback. But despite that, I'm very likely to repurchase!

This product has been a summer staple for me. My routine always includes applying this after skincare and before cushion foundation. The best thing about this sunstick is that it doesn't feel sticky at all - it leaves a nice, matte finish. That makes it so pleasant to apply. And talk about quick application - it literally takes 5 seconds! It's so much more convenient than cream sunscreens. Top it off with great UV protection, and you've got a winner. A sunscreen that's matte, ultra-fast to apply, and offers excellent sun protection? It's absolutely fantastic! Highly recommended!

The amount is a bit on the smaller side. It's a small but precious quantity. However, it's great for carrying around with you.

It applies thinly and lightly, which is absolutely fantastic. My mom usually can't wear sunscreen due to eye irritation, but since this is a stick form, it stays put nicely. It's solved her eye discomfort issue, making it super convenient. There's hardly any scent, and being a stick, it doesn't leave residue on your hands. It's so easy to use that even people who normally skip sunscreen might love it.

I especially love applying it generously under my eyes. It helps cover fine lines and keeps the area from getting dry.

As mentioned earlier, it has a fresh, cool cucumber scent, so those who dislike cucumbers might want to pass on this one. Also, the amount is a bit on the small side. It runs out quite quickly, so that's something to keep in mind.

I've been using this sun balm consistently since last summer. You can see how much is left - that's how much of my true love it's been receiving! As someone with dry skin, I really appreciate how it provides just the right balance of moisture and oil, keeping my skin hydrated without feeling greasy. I absolutely adore the refreshing cucumber scent too! I always apply it before my cushion foundation, and it's so easy to reapply. I'll definitely keep using this as part of my daily routine.

Due to its smaller size compared to regular sunscreen sticks, it can be a bit annoying to apply. You need to work your hands twice as hard as with other sunscreen sticks. Although it applies smoothly without leaving a white cast, it stings my eyes a little. My face also gets quite shiny, so I'm planning to use it daily, reapplying everywhere except around the eyes.

It's great for applying smoothly without getting your hands messy, and its small size makes it convenient to carry. I have dry skin, and while I'm not sure if it's the oil or moisture content, it doesn't leave my skin feeling tight. However, it does make my face quite shiny.

It has a slightly sticky texture. Because of that, I found myself not using it much and eventually switched to a different product.

I loved how simple it was to use and how gentle it felt on my skin! If I remember correctly, the scent was also pleasantly neutral.

The case might be a bit flimsy... When opening the cap, the twisting part comes up along with it. It's hard to explain, but imagine how a lip balm twists up - the entire inner tube comes up here. Apart from the case issue, I didn't find any other drawbacks!

• The sunstick has a unique silky texture without the typical white cast or greasy coating feeling! I've used several sunsticks before, but they often left an opaque residue, pilled due to their overly silky formula, or felt excessively oily. This one, however, glides on smoothly, leaving a fresh, moisturizing balm-like sensation. It didn't clog my pores or cause any blemishes where applied.
• It's convenient to apply. I found it particularly good for targeted protection around the eye area. I'm currently using it to protect a healing wound, and it's great for quick, targeted sun protection.
• The white case is pretty, so I don't feel self-conscious when taking it out to reapply in public. The packaging is lightweight and attractive!

This tiny thing costs 30,000 won. If it were priced in the early 20,000 won range, I'd recommend it without hesitation.

Hera's high price is justified for good reason. There's no white cast, it applies smoothly, has no scent, minimal slipperiness, and doesn't cause eye irritation or stinging. It's the perfect product for men who prefer a bare-faced look. Though I was initially concerned about the 10g size, it surprisingly lasts quite long. Its compact size makes it easy to carry and reapply anytime.
