While it's often recommended to apply sunscreen generously, some products can feel heavy. Even after wearing it for a long time, El'sol Sun Cushion feels comfortable. The ingredients list speaks for itself. It contains zinc oxide, excellent for UV protection, along with many skin-beneficial components. No eye irritation either. It meets all the essential requirements for a sunscreen. ✔️ Skin appearance and adherence Provides a natural brightening effect. Seems to refine skin texture as well. Depending on your base skincare, it applies smoothly without floating. No pilling or stickiness. While not ultra-hydrating, with proper base skincare, it doesn't feel drying. Even when I rushed my skincare routine or my skin was prone to dryness, it still performed well. Good staying power too. Being a cushion format naturally gives it an edge over regular sunscreens, which is definitely a plus. ✔️ Ease of use The cushion format makes application convenient. As someone who doesn't like heavy makeup, this is perfect for those lazy days when you want a quick, simple solution.
ConsThe price seems a bit high for daily use. If I'm wearing makeup, I might opt for a different sunscreen. However, I'm considering purchasing it for those times when I want to even out my skin tone and brighten up without full makeup.
TipRecommended for sensitive skin. Use with the puff. I tried applying it with my hands, but the puff definitely provides a better experience. The benefits I noticed when using my hands were less pronounced. From personal experience, I once struggled with eye irritation from a well-known brand's product. I didn't even realize it was the sunscreen causing it, thinking I had developed an allergy. It took time to identify the cause, which is why I now appreciate Hwahae's thorough ingredient analysis. After that incident, I stopped using products from that brand altogether. It wasn't just a personal reaction, but a genuinely harmful ingredient, which made me lose trust. For long-term use, I believe ingredients are crucial even for non-skincare products.

No eye irritation As someone who always tries to apply sunscreen, I've tried various products. Usually, after 1-3 hours of wear, my eyes would start stinging. But with this one, there's absolutely no eye irritation! I can make it through the workday without using artificial tears. That's a win! 2. No blemishes Even with products claiming to be gentle or mild, I'd usually end up with small bumps by the end of the workday after applying sunscreen. But with this one, I'm using it without any blemishes appearing. As expected from a vegan product, it's less irritating and has good ingredients, making it gentle on the skin! 3. Great portability It can be a hassle to carry sunscreen around all the time, but this compact form makes it easy to take with you. The case is also adorably pink! 4. The puff Honestly, the puff is both a pro and a con... The puff itself is nice and firm, but it's not ideal for spreading this product. However, I've put it in the pros because its firmness makes it great for patting the product in! 5. Natural brightening It's great that it brightens my complexion when I'm just wearing sunscreen to work. But remember, moderation is key - you don't want your face to look disconnected from your body!
Cons1. Pilling If you don't pat it in with the puff, it absorbs slowly. (The puff doesn't work well with this product, making it difficult to apply) If you try to spread it, it pills and peels off! So while it's fine when you're just wearing sunscreen, it's not suitable for applying makeup over it. 2. Color It would be nice if it came in a pink tone too! For people with slightly darker skin, even a light application might create a noticeable difference between face and neck.

The moment you apply this to your skin, it feels moisturizing, and as time passes, it becomes powdery and feels like it's adhering to your skin! It has a light and fresh feeling rather than a heavy one. There's no stinging sensation at all! When used before makeup, it gives the impression that your skin tone has brightened. Being in cushion form, it's more convenient to use than a tube, and I love that it's small enough to carry in my bag without being cumbersome! I'm really pleased that it's a mineral sunscreen and vegan product, with ingredients safe enough even for babies to use! When I first used it, there was no irritation even on my sensitive skin. As for longevity, if you apply it in the morning, you only need to touch up around afternoon!
ConsThe downside is that the scent didn't quite agree with me, which was a bit disappointing. However, due to its good ingredients and effectiveness, I plan to continue using it. Also, the quantity was a bit small!

At first, I was startled when I pressed the puff firmly and too much product came out, leaving patchy white marks on my face. However, after patting it in thoroughly with the puff and giving it some time, it blended naturally. There's no eye irritation or greasiness. It absorbs well and feels moisturizing when applied. After absorption, it has a slightly matte finish, but there's a subtle glow on the surface, and it doesn't feel dry to the touch. This isn't a greasy feeling, so when used alone, it looks natural. It doesn't have the strong scent typical of sunscreens. I was concerned about the fragrance being overpowering, but I barely noticed any scent. However, those sensitive to fragrance ingredients should be cautious.
ConsWhile the brightening effect from the white cast is generally good, when I sweat, it becomes patchy and white even without touching my face. This was especially noticeable around the philtrum and mouth area, causing a lifted feeling and some itching and stinging. - During testing, when I applied it to the back of my hand and tried to rinse it off with water alone, it beaded up and became even more noticeably white. This seems related to the issue mentioned above. It didn't wash off at all with hand soap, but it came off easily with an oil-based foam cleanser. I suppose this speaks to its lasting power.

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.ProsTexture: A white cream that glides on smoothly! Ingredients: No eye irritation and the ingredients are truly excellent!! I love that it provides immediate sun protection with zinc oxide, and there's hardly any white cast! The vitamin content is great, and the vegan certification makes it even more trustworthy! The only slight drawback is the fragrance, but even though I'm sensitive to scents, it's so natural that it doesn't bother me at all! Application: It applies smoothly, and when you pat it with the pact, there's a cool sensation as it absorbs quickly! After application, there's no stickiness or hair-clinging feeling - just a soft, matte finish >~< Packaging: While I adore the pink pact packaging, the cushion is really the star!! The cushion itself has a soft, powdery feel that allows for a light, even application! Brightening: The brightening effect is truly amazing! It's not even marketed as a brightening moisturizer, yet it naturally evens out the skin tone so well... After applying the El'sol Sun Cushion and finishing with foundation, you get a natural look with a great brightening effect. It doesn't look artificial or floating, but provides a flawless brightening effect without any white cast! It makes your complexion look naturally one shade brighter! Absolutely top-notch!
ConsIf I really had to nitpick, maybe the fragrance...? But even though I'm sensitive to scents, this one didn't bother me at all! It seems like they've used just enough to mask any medicinal smell that might occur without added fragrance. The puff is soft and applies product naturally, but because it absorbs some product, I found myself using it up quickly. It would be great if it came in a slightly larger size!
TipHere's a pro tip: apply the sun cushion and finish with foundation!!! It gives you a natural brightening effect that looks like your own skin, just better!! The sun protection and brightening effect are top-notch!

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 someone with super sensitive skin, I was worried, but this product is truly gentle. I've never experienced any skin reactions after using it. Even sunscreens claiming to be mild would irritate my eyes when I sweat after exercising, especially on my forehead! But with this product, I've never once experienced any eye irritation. It also has a slight cooling effect when applied to the face, which was great for soothing my skin when I felt hot. When applied, it brightens the skin, so if you have a fair complexion, it could double as a brightening moisturizer for going out. The compact is thin, making it convenient to carry, and it's so easy to apply sunscreen when you're out. Being in compact form means you don't have to get sunscreen on your hands, which was incredibly convenient!
ConsSince I recently returned from abroad, even shade 23 is a bit light for my skin tone. Perhaps that's why the brightening effect is quite noticeable, making my face look a bit floaty. I think it would work well for those with shades 19 or 21. For me, applying too much made my face look even more disconnected, so I couldn't use a lot each time.
TipIf you have a darker complexion like me and are worried about your face tanning due to strong UV rays, I recommend applying another sunscreen first and finishing with this product! The photo shows my skin after applying it once in the morning and once more in the afternoon. Since I didn't apply too much, it looks okay to this extent!

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.Pros★★★★ I've been using this for almost a week since I received it. ★★★★ - It has a light, fresh cosmetic scent that's not overwhelming at all. - The puff is thin and holds the sunscreen well, allowing it to absorb smoothly onto the face. - Even when applied to the eyelids, there's no stinging sensation. - What's really amazing is that even as time passes, it doesn't feel dry, and when I blot with oil-absorbing paper, not much oil comes off. - After application, I didn't experience any blemishes, skin itching, or redness.
Cons- If you have a darker complexion, this product might make you look too pale. I have a slightly yellowish skin tone, and after one application, it made me look so white that the difference between my face and neck was noticeable. Using less product makes it look more natural, but I'm not sure if it still provides enough sun protection. - Sunscreen usually needs to be reapplied over time, but with this product, each reapplication makes your face look whiter. So if you don't have fair skin, it might only be suitable for short outings. - Like most sun cushions, the amount of product is small. If you use it daily all over your face, it'll likely run out quickly. - I would definitely repurchase if it matched my skin tone, but unfortunately, it doesn't, which is disappointing.

Pros: - Effectively evens skin tone for a radiant complexion. - Easy to apply. - No eye irritation. - Non-sticky texture. - Leaves skin feeling powdery soft. - SPF 50 PA 4+ protection. Packaging: - Multiple layers of protective packaging ensured it arrived undamaged. - The cushion compact has a pretty pink case. Formula and Application: - Non-sticky texture. - Sets quickly on the skin. Scent and Ingredients: - Has a powdery fragrance. - Contains added fragrance, so those with sensitive skin or fragrance sensitivities should take note.
Cons1. The price is on the higher side. 2. If you don't typically wear heavy makeup, using this product under foundation can make your face look a bit 'floaty' or disconnected. (This seems to be a common issue with most brightening sunscreens.)
TipPrice: At 30,000 won for 12g, it's quite expensive. For the same price, you can find sun cushion products offering 2x15g, 25g, or 2x26g, making this seem overpriced in comparison.

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.Pros1. First off, the light pink cushion packaging is not only pretty in color and shape, but it's also not too thick, making it super convenient to carry around! 2. I love the ingredients. It's great that vitamins A and C help inhibit melanin production! 3. The scent is just right - it's like a subtle floral fragrance. I don't like unscented products, but I also dislike overpowering scents. This one has a really pleasant aroma! 4. There's zero stickiness! 5. It doesn't irritate my eyes at all. 6. The mirror is generously sized, which is a nice touch.
Cons1. Downsides? Hmm, I can't really think of any. If I really had to nitpick... Maybe it would be nice if it came with an extra puff? 2. It doesn't offer any coverage...? (But then again, do sunscreens usually provide coverage?) 3. The amount seems a bit on the small side?? I think refills will be a must!
Tip1. While it may vary depending on skin type, here's my routine: I apply toner, serum, and then emulsion or a light moisturizer before using this sun pact. Don't dip too deep into the product, just press lightly and build up gradually! Gently pat it all over your face for even application! 2. Don't apply too much at once. Instead, use a moderate amount and reapply every 3-5 hours! 3. Use it every single day, 365 days a year. 4. Always double cleanse before bed after being out. 5. My overall verdict: I'm genuinely satisfied with its effectiveness, ingredients, absorption, portability, and scent. I'm considering purchasing it for myself, my family, and as gifts.

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.ProsThe size isn't incredibly small, but it's generally thin and compact, making it great for carrying around (the pink color makes it look like a toy compact!) What I consider most crucial in sunscreen, and what I'm most satisfied with in this product, is that there's no eye irritation! As someone sensitive to eye stinging and a contact lens wearer, products that irritate my eyes are really tough to deal with. The second best thing is that a tiny amount goes a long way, so it'll probably last longer than other products with similar expiration dates! Love the brightening effect... it's perfect on bare skin (just be careful with the amount you use ^.^) It's moisturizing without being sticky. However, due to its rich texture, it might be challenging for those with oily skin... (though it's not excessively oily)
ConsAs time passed, I felt deep dryness, and without using additional products like face mists, it led to skin tightness. Rather than clumping, it's more accurate to say it pills. It seems to vary depending on the cushion, but even when applying it all over my face, it happened a few times. I thought the cushion would be convenient and quick to use when in a hurry, but having to pay extra attention to this issue made it a bit cumbersome.
TipTo minimize pilling, avoid patting repeatedly in one spot. Instead, use a small amount and gently pat once or twice.
