I had no issues when I finished the first bottle, but as the weather got warmer, I noticed tiny blemishes appearing. I'm not sure if it's due to the slight oiliness or if I'm breaking out. I'm still using it, but I'm keeping this in mind.

The absorbs wonderfully. It feels just like a hydrating serum. Cleanses effectively in one go. While it's not quite a brightening moisturizer, it does give the skin a subtle luminous effect.

시카 수분 선세럼 [SPF50+/PA++++]

This product works well for those with combination skin, absorbing easily and providing a seamless finish. Its smooth texture allows for effortless application, making it a pleasure to use in your skincare routine.

For combination skin types, the application feels so nice that there's really nothing to complain about.

For combination skin types, it applies smoothly without leaving any white cast.

No matter how much I think about it, I can't come up with any downsides. I even like the fact that it's an easy-wash product.

It didn't sting my eyes at all, and after a while, it evens skin tone beautifully. I really like that!

There's nothing to dislike about this product! I have a feeling I'll be using it consistently for a long time to come.

I'm currently on my fourth bottle of this product. It applies smoothly with a lightweight feel, and despite being an organic sunscreen, it provides just the right amount of complexion enhancement. I'm absolutely loving it!

I'm so pleased with this product that I don't have any real complaints. The only slight drawback might be that the regular price is a bit steep.

I'm currently on my third bottle of the Organic Sunscreen Serum.

# Minimal Eye Irritation
While I've experienced eye irritation with most organic sunscreens, this product stands out. It's so gentle that I only start to feel a slight irritation after about 6 hours of wear. This low irritation factor really sets it apart from other organic sunscreens.

# Pleasant Scent
The product has a unique fragrance, but I find it quite pleasant and not at all bothersome.

# Absorbs Well
Being a sun serum, it absorbs much better than typical creams and works well for multiple applications. While it might feel a bit rich initially due to its organic nature, don't worry - any oiliness disappears after about 10-20 minutes.

Since it's for the entire family, I wish it were more affordable.

The gentle ingredients make it suitable for the whole family. It absorbs well and doesn't leave a white cast, which is great.

The review highlights the importance of effective UV protection in sunscreens, especially for those concerned about hyperpigmentation. While the product has some positive attributes like a smooth application and hydrating properties, its failure to provide adequate sun protection is a significant drawback. This emphasizes the need for consumers to prioritize sun protection efficacy over other features when choosing a sunscreen.

Unfortunately, it falls short on the most crucial aspect - sun protection.
The recommended amount for one application is about the size of a 500 won coin. I applied foundation after the sunscreen, but when I washed my face in the evening, I noticed dark spots had appeared.

I won't be repurchasing this product.

1) Glides on smoothly and 2) hydrates well, but 3) isn't sticky, and 4) I was looking for a sunscreen with good UV protection, so I carefully read the reviews.

I like that it doesn't irritate the eyes and has a lightweight texture. It's very gentle and moisturizing, though not completely free of stickiness. Still, it's less sticky compared to other brands.

While it doesn't cause any blemishes and has many positive qualities, the one drawback is its high price point.

Great for oily skin types! It's convenient and leaves your face feeling clean with just one wash. Overall, I'm quite pleased with it.

While it's a bit disappointing that the quantity is somewhat small, the texture is nice. It's great that it doesn't seem to run or drip even when you're sweating in the summer!

As it's organic green tea, it applies smoothly and doesn't leave a sticky finish, which I really appreciated!

Tips? Just don't apply this...
It takes too long to recover from skin damage...

Sometimes I only get small pimples on my forehead, but when I apply this product, my cheeks feel like they are burning hot in the afternoon. It's like my cheeks are on fire.

I'll honestly and sincerely list the pros and cons! I usually don't take the time to write these kinds of things, but I think an honest review is necessary!!

1. It applies smoothly like a moisturizing lotion, not a cream, and is very hydrating.
2. Even though I'm sensitive to eye irritation, there's no stinging at all even when applying a lot around the eyes.
3. It's not rich, heavy, or stuffy. It just feels like applying a basic skincare product.
4. There's no particular scent, so there won't be any strong likes or dislikes about the fragrance.
5. The lightweight, moisturizing formula makes it great for layering.

However............the main downside is.....

There's a slight artificial scent that's characteristic of the product. It didn't bother me much, but those who are sensitive to fragrances might want to keep this in mind.

The best part was how smoothly and moisturizing it applied. My skin is super sensitive, but I didn't experience any blemishes after using it.

It has a somewhat rich texture, so if your skincare routine is already heavy, it might feel a bit much. However, for those with dry skin, I highly, highly recommend this!

The downside is that it has a slight medicinal scent, similar to some sunscreens. If you're sensitive to fragrances, you might want to consider this aspect.

As someone who always used mineral sunscreens, I discovered Benton's Cica Moisture Sun Serum and decided to make the switch, given my sensitive skin. I was concerned about the irritation from double cleansing required for mineral sunscreens, but this product is easy to wash off. A single cleanse is enough to remove it thoroughly, and those pesky little bumps I used to get have all disappeared!
