These days, there are many moisturizing sunscreens, but this texture feels a bit more dense. 👉Fragrance It's fragrance-free! You can use it without any fragrance concerns. 👉Usage Since it has a somewhat waxy feel, there is an oily finish. Those with oily skin may find it a bit unsuitable. As I have dry skin, it was fine for me, but right after application, there is a slightly heavy feeling.
ConsThe product feels a bit heavy, so the lightweight finish is not quite there, but I think it's a suitable sunscreen product.
TipStart with a light base! Finishing with this sunscreen will help your makeup apply well.

It then adheres smoothly to the skin surface. While there is a slight whitish cast from the mineral sunscreen, I was worried it might feel greasy and heavy, but unlike other nourishing formulas, it leaves a finish that feels like just skincare products without any unpleasant sensations. The slight whitish cast creates a clean and natural tone-up effect without looking blotchy, and it provides a pretty glow without being excessive.
ConsFor dry skin types, the usage experience was satisfactory, but for oily skin types, it may feel a bit heavy and greasy, especially during the summer.
TipThe packaging is convenient and portable.

At first, I thought it would be whitening based on the texture, but as I applied it, the whitening effect became very subtle. I really liked that. When I apply it, my face has this beautiful, glossy glow that just flows across my skin. It's like a moisturizing cream in terms of the skin finish, even though it's a sunscreen. The texture is very creamy and thick. It feels quite dense when you squeeze it out, but it spreads very easily when applied. I haven't experienced a texture this creamy before. The fragrance isn't overpowering, so I didn't have a strong positive or negative reaction to it. Overall, I really enjoyed using this and highly recommend it. The only downside is that the glow it gives is a bit oily, so it might feel heavy for those with oily skin, especially in the summer.
ConsThe downside is that it's too creamy, making it difficult to apply. But once it's on, it spreads well. It's more suitable for winter than summer, as it feels a bit oily, despite the thick, creamy texture.
TipYou don't need to apply a thick base layer, as this sunscreen provides a moisturizing feel on its own, so you don't have to focus too much on the base before applying it.

The fragrance was undetectable, and if you have sensitive skin like me with no oiliness at all, you'll likely be very satisfied..!
ConsEven for my sensitive skin, it didn't cause any breakouts or bumps! The only downside is that despite my preference for a creamy texture, the Ectoin product has an extremely rich formula, so it can be a bit difficult to apply if you don't have a well-hydrated base. But for me, it's hard to find a sunscreen with the right balance of creaminess, oil content, and long-lasting moisture, so I gave it a solid five stars!!!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🙂↕️
TipBe sure to have a well-hydrated and nourished skincare routine before applying the Ectoin sunscreen..! That will help the sunscreen glide on more smoothly✨And for those with oily skin, you may want to use a light dusting of powder after applying the sunscreen and makeup to control any shine.😌

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.ProsSkin type: extremely dry, redness, large pores, sensitive I prefer mineral sunscreens for my sensitive skin, and the Ectoin Essence Sunscreen was great as it contains mineral filters and SPF 37, so it's not irritating. The formula is slightly rich, so it feels a bit thick when applying, but it leaves a subtle dewy glow and my skin feels moisturized, so I don't need to use a heavy moisturizer before applying the sunscreen. It's thick but doesn't interfere with my base makeup. There's a very faint fresh scent, but it's practically unscented, so it should be fine for those sensitive to fragrance. No stinging in the eyes. ⭐️ The subtle dewy glow lasts throughout the day, keeping my skin feeling hydrated. ⭐️ The sunscreen doesn't get cakey or dry out over time, and there's no creasing around the eyes.
ConsI didn't have any issues using it, but those who prefer a more matte, powdery finish may find it less suitable.
TipAfter applying the sunscreen, you can lightly powder just the outer areas of the face to achieve a beautiful, dewy, natural-looking glow.

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.ProsI'm posting this review after using the product for over a week as a Hwahae Trial Reviewer. *Fragrance It's fragrance-free. I prefer fragrance-free products. *Texture The texture is a white, creamy, and thick lotion. It spreads easily, and although I thought there might be some white cast, after rolling it a few times, it spreads without any white cast. *Usage Experience The thick texture spreads well, and once fully applied, there's no white cast. At first, there's a slightly oily feel, but it's not as greasy as expected and feels moisturizing. As someone with atopic dermatitis and oily skin, I find this product usable. *Packaging The sturdy tube allows you to dispense the right amount. The only downside is that when there's a small amount left, it can be a bit inconvenient to squeeze out the last bits, but overall, the packaging is good. *Other I didn't experience any skin troubles after using this. I was hoping to try an Eltopia product, and this seems suitable for my atopic skin. You can see the swatch on the left side of the photo to get a sense of how it feels after application. There's a slight sheen initially, but it absorbs well quickly.
ConsThe thick texture can feel a bit sticky when first applied, but keep rolling it to spread it evenly.

It seems suitable as a sunscreen for outdoor activities, especially water sports or swimming. While the heavy and creamy texture may be burdensome for everyday use, the oiliness can help the sunscreen stay on and last longer when exposed to water or sweat during outdoor activities.
ConsIt has a lot of oiliness, and instead of being absorbed, it leaves a sticky layer on the surface, so you should be cautious when using it on your face.

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. 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✔️ Usage Period: 21.6.24. - 6.28. ✔️ Design: Unlike regular sunscreens, the sturdy container was very pleasing to me, and the design is really cute 😆 ✔️ Spreadability: First, I tested it on the back of my hand, and the texture was thicker than expected, so I had to squeeze the container firmly to apply it! I was worried that it might be difficult to spread due to the thick texture, but after rubbing it a few times with my fingers, it spread quite easily, as expected. The same was true when I applied it to my face! As the name 'essence sunscreen' suggests, it seems to spread smoothly and moisturize well. ✔️ White Cast: I'm prone to freckles, so I applied a generous amount of sunscreen on my face. At first, it went on white and had a white cast effect, which made me panic. But I quickly patted and spread it, and it was quickly absorbed. After absorption, the white cast disappeared, and I could feel a nice glow on my face ㅎㅎ This was something I liked, as the natural glow helped my skin look prettier when I applied makeup on top 👍 ✔️ Breakouts: Sunscreen can sometimes cause skin irritation, but as this is a sunscreen suitable for pregnant women, the ingredients seem to be gentle, and I didn't experience any breakouts!! ✔️ Fragrance: The product seems to be almost fragrance-free! There was no unpleasant fragrance while applying it. ✔️ Overall: This is a truly amazing sunscreen 👍 I think this sunscreen is the best for applying before makeup. As an essence-type, it creates a beautiful glow on the skin, and the glow is well-maintained even after applying makeup! I'm very satisfied with this product ㅎㅎㅎ The gentle ingredients mean I can apply it without worrying about breakouts, and the UV protection seems to be excellent as well.
ConsI didn't have any particular disappointments while using it! If it was available in a larger size, I could keep it on my vanity and use it generously every morning before doing my makeup 😀
TipSunscreen loses its effectiveness after a few hours, so if you're spending time outdoors, you'll need to reapply it periodically!

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.ProsFirst of all, the packaging is so adorably designed, and the color is so beautiful! It's my style.🥹 The texture is a bit creamy, like a lotion! I thought it would be hard to spread evenly on my face because of the creaminess, but it actually applies smoothly and leaves a protective barrier (?) against the sun, which is really great. And at first, I thought my face would look too white when I applied it, but after a few minutes, it blended in naturally! Since it's a tube product, the right amount of sunscreen comes out when you squeeze it. (Of course, a lot comes out if you press hard.)
ConsPersonally, I don't have any complaints at all!!!
TipAfter applying the final moisturizer, I rub my hands together to warm them up, then hold my hands over my face for a few seconds to allow the skin to absorb the nutrients. When I apply the sunscreen after that, it spreads on smoothly and leaves a hydrated, refreshed feeling. I love it so much!!

Cons💛 Downsides - Not a lightweight, refreshing sunscreen, so may not be suitable for oily skin types or men - For the same reason, not ideal for those who want to use the same sunscreen on the face and body - I received feedback that on the days I used this, my makeup seemed to lift a bit (😅)
TipThis seems better suited for the fall/winter season rather than summer
