An ampoule-like formula with zero stickiness True to its name, it applies like a water ampoule - moisturizing and lightweight. It's non-greasy and fresh, allowing for immediate makeup application! None of that heavy feeling typical of sunscreens. Highly recommended for those who avoid makeup due to skin discomfort. 2. Cica + EGF ingredients for soothing & regenerative care Beyond simple sun protection, it feels like it simultaneously soothes and regenerates the skin. Perfect for daily use, even on sensitive skin, with no irritation. 3. Vegan certified + gentle ingredients As a vegan product made without animal-derived ingredients, I could use it with peace of mind, and experienced no blemishes at all. Highly recommended for those who can't use sunscreen due to skin reactions. 4. A sunscreen known for playing well with makeup
Cons1. No tone-up or coverage function While the natural finish is nice, it offers almost no evening of skin tone or coverage. Those who wear makeup will need a separate base makeup. 2. SPF index feels slightly low On days with lots of outdoor activities, it might be better to use this alongside a product with stronger UV protection rather than using it alone. However, it's fine for reapplication as it's not burdensome!
Tip1. Apply like an ampoule as the last step of skincare Rather than applying it like a regular sunscreen, absorbing it like an ampoule at the end of your skincare routine allows for a more natural look and helps base makeup adhere better without pilling. 2. Use alone on sensitive days to give your skin a break On days when your skin feels sensitive or heated, applying just this product can soothe while providing sun protection, making it great for giving your skin a rest. 3. ZERO burden for frequent reapplication With no stickiness or white cast, it's very convenient as a touch-up product! It's light enough to layer over makeup, making it great to carry for outings.

The texture is lighter than a cream when applied, and it absorbs well without any stickiness, even allowing cushion foundation to go on smoothly without pilling. I love that it doesn't leave my face feeling rich even after hours of wear, and the fact that it's fragrance-free is a huge plus!
ConsThere's not much I'm dissatisfied with, but if I had to nitpick, the bottle is a bit heavy to carry around when traveling. Since I bought two, I might switch to a tube version next time, or it would be great if they offered smaller sample sizes! Also, it doesn't even out skin tone, but I prioritize skin comfort over complexion correction, so I'm okay with that.
TipJust pump it out and apply it evenly all over your face, and you should be good to go!

I'm definitely repurchasing this when I run out - I'm a loyal convert now! In my opinion, this is a flawless sunscreen that excels in every aspect. Actually, calling it just a sunscreen doesn't do it justice - it's so much more refreshing than that. First off, it's fragrance-free with a fluid, serum-like texture. What impressed me most is that it's essentially an ampoule or essence in itself! No need to worry about absorption - it sinks right in with zero white cast, and it even contains EGF. You can apply it just like you would your skincare. I tested this product alone to check for any stickiness after application. There's no greasiness, no stickiness - it truly absorbs like an ampoule and leaves your skin feeling fresh. It's a sensation I've never experienced before - I was honestly shocked. It feels just like applying your regular skincare. This product has made me instantly retire the sunscreen I've been using for years. From ingredients to texture, from feel to UV protection factor - this product is perfect for me in every way.
ConsIf I had to nitpick, I'd say it doesn't provide the skin tone evening effect that some other sunscreens with white cast do!
TipThe ingredients and texture are gentle enough to use as a daytime skincare base. No need to layer moisturizer and then sunscreen separately - it's a time-saver! I apply this right before my cream step.

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsAs a woman in her mid-30s with combination skin: 📍 Ampoule texture The best part is its unique texture compared to traditional sunscreens. It feels like applying an essence, giving a clear, bare-faced look - a huge advantage. (Traditional sunscreens often felt like an extra layer, creating a stuffy sensation.) 📍 Refreshing application I loved how it absorbs into the skin with a moisturizing feel and leaves a refreshing finish. There was no white cast. 📍 Ingredients It's made with worry-free ingredients, which is reassuring. 📍 No pilling After applying the sun ampoule, there was no pilling when layering other makeup products.
Cons✔️ Tone, pores, and elasticity improvement Although I haven't used the product for long, I didn't notice any immediate tone correction after application, nor did I feel any significant improvement in my pores. ✔️ Used like a traditional sunscreen To be honest, judging by the product name, I initially thought it was an essence with added sun protection. As I often go out bare-faced these days, I hoped it would be an essence that could provide UV protection without makeup. However, I was disappointed to find out it needs to be used like a regular sunscreen and requires cleansing afterward.

It's incredibly lightweight, as if you're not wearing anything, and absorbs well into the skin, making it very easy to apply. Being fragrance-free, it doesn't cause any irritation. I was initially concerned about sun protection since it has an ampoule texture, but with SPF63 and PA++++, it actually offers higher UV protection than many other sunscreens. The ingredients are another strong point. It contains Centella Asiatica extract, which helps soothe irritated skin, and more importantly, it includes growth factors that promote regeneration and enhancement of epidermal skin cells, stimulating collagen and elastin production. It's also environmentally friendly, free from UV filters harmful to coral reefs, and uses vegan ingredients instead of animal-derived ones, earning it a vegan certification. I was impressed to see that the packaging includes Braille, showing consideration for visually impaired individuals.
ConsWhile the lack of white cast due to its chemical filters can be seen as an advantage, it also means there's no skin-perfecting effect, which might be disappointing for some. This won't matter if you wear makeup, but if you're only applying sunscreen, be prepared for a very bare-faced look. Another downside is the small opening of the container, which makes it unstable and prone to tipping over when standing. Also, the texture is somewhat runny, so even a gentle squeeze can dispense too much product, potentially leading to rapid use.

I made a mental note to try it once it was released, and I'm glad I got the chance! It applies just like a lightweight moisturizer - incredibly hydrating and smooth. It's perfect under makeup, with no pilling and great adherence. As someone with combination dehydrated skin prone to blemishes, I'm always cautious about new products. Happily, this didn't cause any breakouts. It was gentle and worked perfectly for my skin.
ConsMany reviews mentioned the heavy packaging, but I received the tube version so I didn't experience that inconvenience. It is on the pricier side, so I'd recommend purchasing during a sale. As someone who often only applies sunscreen, I found the lack of tone correction slightly disappointing.
TipLayering it while massaging it in could improve absorption and provide better sun protection!

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThis is a review from The Hwahae Testers. My skin tends to get oily when it feels dry from air conditioning and fans in summer. I also sweat a lot, so I only apply sunscreen when heading to work in summer. After using this product daily for a week, here's my take: 1. The scent is neither unscented nor typical sunscreen smell. It's slightly... fresh, but not overpoweringly so, which I found acceptable (I generally prefer unscented products). 2. True to its name, it feels like a serum. It's not too runny, so it doesn't drip, but it feels very hydrating and is easy to apply. 3. It feels moisturizing right after application, but over time it absorbs without leaving a greasy feeling, which I liked (this aspect reminded me of the G* sunscreen). 4. There's no white cast, so while it doesn't provide color correction, it makes the skin look smooth. 5. Lastly, I have sensitive skin and often get blemishes from sunscreens. I've bought over 10 different sunscreens (trying YouTube recommendations and researching ingredients on Hwahae), but many felt heavy and caused small breakouts by evening. I was a sunscreen nomad until I found the G* sunscreen two months ago. This reviewed sunscreen also doesn't cause any blemishes, so I'm happily alternating between the two.
ConsWhile the texture is nice and it doesn't cause blemishes, those who only wear sunscreen in summer might find the lack of tone-up effect disappointing due to zero white cast.
TipIf you apply a thin layer of sunscreen twice after your toner and moisturizer, your skin looks incredibly smooth.

Until now, when using sunscreens or sun cushions, I often avoided them if they felt sticky or heavy. This product doesn't have those annoying drawbacks, and it's comfortable for long-term wear, so I'm using it regularly like an emulsion!
Cons- It doesn't seem to even out the complexion at all - The glass bottle makes it heavy, reducing portability
TipIt might work well as a makeup base. (Since it doesn't even out the skin tone, it's probably best used before applying makeup.)

And even the ones that seemed to work at first would end up giving me a few big pimples or bumps after a few days...) While using this, I was completely convinced that the developer must have had people with sensitive skin like me in mind. I kept marveling at how perfect it was. Even after writing the review for the event, I'm going to keep using this. These days, I don't even bother with other sunscreens - I just use this one and carry it around with me. 😁😁
ConsFor those looking for tone correction, this might not be what you're expecting. ㅎㅎ
Tip- Even when I applied a lot, it didn't feel heavy or cakey. - I put this sunscreen on before doing my makeup, and my foundation didn't slide off or get patchy. - The glass bottle packaging is great for carrying it around. - The case fits well in one hand. The design is so pretty.

First off, I absolutely loved the packaging - it's gorgeous! Of all the sunscreens I've used, this one was by far the most hydrating. There was no white cast or eye irritation whatsoever! While it's great now, I think it would be perfect for winter use. I'm also really impressed with the brand's philosophy. They create vegan and barrier-free products, even including braille on the packaging. That detail really won me over!
ConsThis might not be the best choice for those looking for color correction. I don't usually wear much makeup, but I often find myself wishing for a brightening moisturizer when I have some extra time.
