True to its "sun serum" name, it glides on smoothly without stickiness and the hydration absorbs quickly into the skin. Feels like a hydrating cream + brightening moisturizer, with minimal pilling even when reapplied. • Subtle tone-evening effect makes skin look clearer Almost no white cast, but provides a natural brightening effect that diminishes dullness. Great for bare skin and blends well as a makeup base. • Contains actual brightening active ingredients Includes niacinamide, arbutin, and glutathione, so it not only protects from UV rays but also helps improve skin tone and target dark spots. • Gentle hybrid sunscreen (mineral + chemical) that doesn't cause blemishes No irritation or burning sensation even on sensitive days, and absolutely no eye stinging. None of the stuffiness of chemical sunscreens or the dryness of mineral ones → Exceptionally balanced formula! • Not completely colorless → Provides a natural brightening effect May appear slightly lighter depending on your complexion. Could look a bit ashy on darker skin tones, so testing is recommended. • Average longevity, frequent reapplication needed for outdoor activities Reapplication every 4-5 hours is necessary if you sweat a lot or are out for long periods. (Not waterproof!) • Tube packaging makes controlling the amount slightly tricky The soft texture means it can easily overflow if you squeeze out too much → Recommend dispensing carefully! • Can skip moisturizer and use this product alone! Provides enough hydration that those with dry or combination skin can apply it right after toner. Simplifies pre-makeup routine and saves time! • Gently pat around eyes and nose Apply thinly on oily areas and layer lightly on areas prone to creasing to minimize makeup breakdown. • Pair with a brightening serum (e.g. TXA/Vitamin C) for a complete dark spot-fighting routine! Use an intensive brightening serum at night and this Mela Return sun serum in the morning for a seamless tone-evening routine. - 5c********Combination SkinSensitive SkinAcne SkinBrightening/Dark SpotsSebum/BlackheadsInner DrynessWrinkles/ElasticityEnlarged PoresRednessDead Skin CellsRecommendedJul 1, 2025Reviewed by The Hwahae Testers

The liquid texture absorbs well and doesn't feel sticky. It's quite hydrating and spreads easily on the skin. On makeup-free days, using this as a sunscreen worked well for me. It claims to help reduce skin temperature and pore size. I did notice a slight cooling effect on my skin. As for pore reduction, I'm not entirely sure about the results. For those with super sensitive skin: You might experience a slight tingling sensation. For less sensitive skin: No irritation reported. When worn under makeup, there's a bit of pilling that occurs. It's said to help with dark spots and blemishes, so it might be suitable for those looking to even out their complexion. - su*******Combination SkinSensitive SkinRecommendedJul 1, 2025Reviewed by The Hwahae Testers

But when summer hit, the combination of sweat and pore-clogging led to blemishes - not fun! This Mela Return Sun Serum feels like you're applying an extra layer of skincare rather than just slapping on sunscreen. It's truly like putting on a hydrating serum - the texture reminds me of a soothing cream I have at home. It doesn't seem to block my pores at all. With the current humid and hot weather, I'm constantly peeling my hair off my sweaty face. But with this sun serum, my skin feels moisturized without any stickiness - absolutely love it! Another huge plus is that it doesn't leave a white cast. We all know the summertime struggle - you want sun protection, so you layer on the sunscreen, but then your face looks ghostly pale. You try to pat it in, but you're already sweating again, and it's just frustrating. This sun serum doesn't have that issue at all. You can reapply multiple times without feeling suffocated, and it's so gentle that I can easily touch up my face and neck throughout the day. Highly recommend! Due to its unique formula, it absorbs naturally into the skin like skincare, without creating an artificial glow. In summer, when your skin tends to get oily on its own, this sunscreen is perfect for the weather. It's not overly rich, so it doesn't clog pores. I found it great for use in summer without causing any blemishes! For dry skin types, this is more of a summer sunscreen. In winter, it might work well applied over a richer moisturizer. - hj*******Dehydrated SkinSensitive SkinAcne SkinBrightening/Dark SpotsSebum/BlackheadsDark CirclesInner DrynessWrinkles/ElasticityEnlarged PoresRednessDead Skin CellsRecommendedJun 30, 2025Reviewed by The Hwahae Testers

I was lucky enough to be selected as a Hwahae Tester and got to try this product. Let me start by saying I'm 1000% going to repurchase this! When choosing a sunscreen, I look for key factors: it shouldn't feel heavy, cause pilling with makeup, be sticky, leave a white cast, or cause blemishes. This product not only meets all these criteria but also provides excellent hydration. It's perfect! Moisturizing finish without stickiness: It's incredibly hydrating... I almost used it as a night cream! I don't usually rave about products in reviews, but this one is truly exceptional. At first, I was surprised by the light yellow, condensed milk-like texture. But once applied, it absorbs instantly with no stickiness at all. Despite its slightly rich texture, it feels fresh and moisturizing on the skin. It's light enough for summer and hydrating enough for winter. Luxurious packaging: When I first received the product, I thought it looked like a chic hand cream. The black and white design reminds me of Chanel hand creams, making me want to use it sparingly! The compact size is perfect for touch-ups on the go. No white cast, no eye irritation: There's absolutely no white cast, so it's great for both makeup and bare-faced days. Sometimes sunscreens can irritate my eyes, but this one doesn't sting at all, even when applied generously around the eye area. The price point in the 30,000 won range might seem a bit steep, but it's available for under 20,000 won during sales. It's worth stocking up when there's a discount. This sunscreen's moisturizing yet non-greasy formula should suit all skin types. I used to get stressed when my skin would become oily after applying sunscreen, but this product maintains a hydrated state without any greasiness, making it especially great for summer use. The product quality is so impressive, it's almost as if they've put a moisturizer in a sunscreen bottle. I'm truly impressed with its effectiveness!

No worries about leaks or bursts. The pointed tip allows for precise application, making it easy to dispense just the right amount and use cleanly. The formula is light and watery, making it easy to apply. It spreads smoothly like an essence without leaving a white cast, gliding on effortlessly. After application, it leaves skin feeling hydrated. Unless you have extremely dry skin, you could probably skip your regular skincare and apply this product directly. It stays put well after makeup application, with no lifting or pilling. The scent is mild and pleasant - not overpowering. It's a universally appealing fragrance suitable for all ages and genders. There's a slight stinging sensation when applied to the eyelids. The stinging disappears when wiped off with a wet wipe. In summer, it provides enough hydration that you could skip your regular skincare routine and apply this product directly. It should work well under makeup too! - se********Oily SkinSensitive SkinBrightening/Dark SpotsSebum/BlackheadsDark CirclesInner DrynessWrinkles/ElasticityEnlarged PoresRednessRecommendedJun 29, 2025Reviewed by The Hwahae Testers

It applies so smoothly with a hydrating feel, yet doesn't leave any oily residue. It truly feels like I'm just applying a basic skincare step, so I find myself reaching for it every morning without fail. What makes this product stand out: • Perfect match for my combination dehydrated skin! • No pilling whatsoever when I apply makeup right after using this • Gentle formula with zero irritation, making it ideal for daily use Compared to other sun serums I've tried before: • They would leave my skin feeling greasy, with oil pooling on the surface by afternoon • The heavy feeling on my face ultimately made me avoid using them But this product? • None of those issues - it strikes the perfect balance between fresh and hydrating • The more I use it, the better my skin looks, so I've switched to using this instead of regular sunscreen every day I wholeheartedly recommend this to anyone with combination dehydrated skin or those searching for a sun serum that works well under makeup! The hydration without any heaviness makes this my current daily essential. There wasn't a single thing I disliked! I'm completely satisfied with this product.

(I only use one moisturizer as my base skincare.) That's why when I look for sunscreen, absorption and oil content are my top priorities. I was excited about Derma Elravie's sun serum because, as the name suggests, it's a sun 'serum' rather than a sun 'cream'! When I first opened it, the product's appearance gave me a light and simple impression. It even reminded me a bit of Chanel, haha! They say applying sunscreen frequently throughout the day is most effective, and this seems perfect for carrying around! When I tested it on my hand, the texture felt thin and seemed to be a hydrating type. Applying it to my face, it went on smoothly thanks to its thin consistency. True to its name, it really felt like applying a serum! There was no white cast, which I loved, and it didn't sting my eyes. The scent wasn't overwhelming either. The disappointing part was that while it applied moistly, the finish wasn't as fresh as I expected. My face had the glow of having applied a generous amount of moisturizer. It might be difficult for those with oily skin to use in summer. It seems perfect for winter use though. I'm planning to keep it stored and use it in winter! This review highlights the importance of texture and finish in sunscreen products, especially for those with sensitive and oily skin. The reviewer appreciates the serum-like consistency and lack of white cast, but notes that the finish might be too dewy for oily skin types in summer. This feedback could be valuable for consumers with similar skin concerns looking for a suitable sunscreen option. - ji**********Oily SkinAcne SkinSebum/BlackheadsEnlarged PoresRednessRecommendedJun 17, 2025
This is truly legendary. Considering the price, I think it's an exceptional value. Hmm, the only downside is that the texture feels a bit firm. That's about the only drawback I can think of.
