While many sunscreens these days offer hydration, this texture feels more intense, which I haven't experienced in a while. Scent: It's fragrance-free! You can use it without any concerns about scent. Application: Due to its richer texture, it does leave a slightly oily finish. Those with oily skin might find it a bit heavy. As someone with dry skin, I found it okay, though it felt a bit heavy right after application.
ConsThe product feels a bit heavy, so it doesn't have a light finish, which was disappointing. However, I think this makes it well-suited for its purpose as a sunscreen.
TipKeep your skincare routine light! Finish with this sunscreen and your makeup will apply beautifully.

It instantly adheres to the skin, creating a seamless finish. Despite containing mineral UV filters and having a slight white cast, it doesn't feel heavy or greasy on the skin. Instead, it leaves your complexion feeling as if you've just completed your skincare routine. While there's a subtle white cast, it provides a clean and natural brightening effect with a beautiful, subtle glow that's not over the top.
ConsFor those with dry skin, the feel is nearly perfect. However, if you have oily skin, you might find it a bit heavy and rich for use during the peak of summer.
TipThe packaging is conveniently portable.

What I really adore is how it gives my face this beautiful glow - it's like my skin just lights up! It's a sunscreen, but it gives that dewy cream effect, making your complexion look absolutely stunning. The texture is incredibly rich - when you squeeze it out, you might wonder how thick it is, but it's even more concentrated than you'd expect when applying. I think this level of richness is quite unique. The scent isn't overpowering, so I didn't have strong feelings about it either way. Overall, I had a great experience using this product and highly recommend it. Just keep in mind that the glow can feel a bit oily and heavy, so those with oily skin might not be fans.
ConsThe downside is that it's so thick it can be a bit challenging to apply. However, once you start spreading it, it does go on smoothly. It's more oily than I expected, so it might actually be better suited for winter rather than summer. It's rich but feels quite greasy.
TipYou don't need to layer on thick base products to achieve a moisturized feel, so you can apply this without focusing too much on heavy skincare beforehand!

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 texture is incredibly rich! I prefer thicker formulas over watery ones, so I absolutely loved this. There was no noticeable scent, and if you have sensitive, extremely dry skin like mine with no natural oils, I think you'll be very satisfied!
ConsEven on sensitive skin, it didn't cause any blemishes or tiny bumps at all! The only downside is that despite my preference for rich textures, the Ectoin product is really, really thick. If your skin isn't well-hydrated beforehand, it can be a bit challenging to apply. However, it's not often I find a sunscreen with such a rich texture, balanced oil content, and long-lasting hydration. So for me, it's definitely a five-star product!
TipMake sure to prep your skin with a thorough, hydrating skincare routine before applying the Ectoin sunscreen! This will help the sunscreen apply more smoothly. Also, if you have oily skin, you might notice some richness after applying makeup over the sunscreen, so setting with powder would be a good idea.

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, prone to redness, enlarged pores, super sensitive skin As someone with sensitive skin, I usually prefer physical sunscreens. However, I really liked the Ectoin Essence Sunscreen because it's a physical sunscreen with SPF 37, which isn't irritating. The texture is slightly rich and feels thick when applying. But the finish gives a subtle Inner Glow and feels hydrating, so you might not need to use a cream in your skincare routine before applying this sunscreen. Despite its thick consistency, it doesn't cause pilling with your skincare products underneath. There's a very faint, fresh herbal scent, but it's practically unscented. This makes it suitable for those sensitive to fragrances. It doesn't sting the eyes. ⭐️ The subtle Inner Glow lasts, making your skin look beautifully hydrated for hours. ⭐️ Over time, the sunscreen doesn't separate or dry out, and it doesn't settle into fine lines around the eyes.
ConsI didn't have any issues while using this product, but those who prefer a powdery or matte finish might find it less satisfying.
TipAfter applying the sunscreen, if you lightly dust some powder just around the outer areas of your face, you can achieve a beautifully glowing, natural look that's still hydrated.

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 member of The Hwahae Testers, I'm sharing my review after using this product for over a week. *Scent It's fragrance-free. I absolutely love that there's no scent. *Texture It has a white emulsion-like color with a rich, thick consistency. It spreads easily, and while I initially thought it might leave a white cast, it disappears completely after a few rolls. *Feel on skin Despite its thick texture, once fully applied, there's no white residue. At first, it feels slightly oily, but it's surprisingly non-greasy and hydrating. I have combination dehydrated skin with atopic tendencies, and I find it quite suitable. *Packaging The sturdy tube is great for dispensing just the right amount. However, like most tubes, it can be a bit tricky to squeeze out the last bits when you're running low. Other than that, I'm pleased with it. *Additional notes I didn't experience any blemishes after use. I've been wanting to try a product with ectoin, and it seems to work well with my sensitive skin. For an idea of how it looks after application, check the left side of my hand in the photo. There's a slight glow initially, but it absorbs quickly and settles nicely.
ConsThe thick consistency might feel sticky at first when applying. Make sure to roll it in well for even distribution.

It would be great as a body sunscreen for those who enjoy outdoor activities, especially swimming or water sports. While it might feel heavy for everyday use due to its thick texture, this oiliness could actually be beneficial during outdoor activities. When you're in contact with water or sweating, the sunscreen is less likely to wash off and should last longer.
ConsIt's quite oily, and instead of absorbing well, it leaves a sticky layer on the skin. You should be cautious when using this on your face.

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: June 21 - June 28, 2024. ✔️ Design: Unlike typical sunscreens, the sturdy packaging is fantastic, and the design is absolutely adorable! ✔️ Application: I first tested it on the back of my hand. The texture was thicker than expected, requiring a firm squeeze. I was concerned it might be difficult to apply, but after gently massaging it a few times with my fingers, it spread surprisingly easily. The same was true when applying to my face! True to its 'essence sunscreen' name, it applies with a lovely hydrating feel. ✔️ White cast: As I'm prone to dark spots, I tend to apply sunscreen generously. Initially, when I applied a large amount, it seemed to leave a white cast. However, I quickly patted it in, and it absorbed rapidly! Once absorbed, the white cast disappears, leaving a subtle glow on the face. I love this aspect because when you apply makeup over it, the natural radiance makes your skin look beautiful. ✔️ Blemishes: My skin can react badly to some sunscreens, but this one didn't cause any blemishes! Perhaps it's because the ingredients are gentle enough for pregnant women to use. ✔️ Scent: It seems to be nearly fragrance-free! I didn't notice any bothersome scent while applying. ✔️ Overall: This is definitely a Hwahae favorite sunscreen! I think it's the best sunscreen to use before applying makeup. As an essence type, it creates a beautiful glow on the skin that maintains well even after applying makeup, without any pilling. I'm extremely satisfied with this product! The gentle ingredients allow for worry-free application without fear of blemishes, and the sun protection seems excellent.
ConsI didn't find any downsides while using this product! If it were available in a larger size, I could keep it on my vanity and use it generously every morning before applying makeup.
TipRemember, sunscreen's effectiveness diminishes after a few hours, so if you're spending time outdoors, make sure to reapply frequently!

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 off, the packaging is adorably designed and the color is absolutely gorgeous! It's totally my style. The texture feels like a slightly thick emulsion. I thought it might not spread well on the face due to its thickness, but surprisingly, it applies smoothly. It genuinely feels like it creates a protective barrier against the sun on your face! Initially, I was concerned it might make my face look too white, but after a few minutes, it blended naturally into my skin. I love that it's in a tube format, allowing you to control the amount of sunscreen that comes out (of course, pressing harder releases more product).
ConsPersonally, I didn't find any drawbacks at all!
TipAfter applying your final moisturizer in your basic skincare routine, warm the product between your palms. Then, gently press your hands onto your face and wait a few seconds to allow the nutrients to absorb into your skin before applying the sunscreen. This method helps it spread evenly and leaves your skin feeling hydrated and refreshed. I absolutely love it!

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: - Dry, without blemishes/redness Positives: - A mineral sunscreen that doesn't require frequent reapplication! - The texture is slightly thick and firm - The container has a unique, round shape that's cute and fits perfectly in one hand, making it great for carrying in your pouch - While it appears slightly white immediately after application, once absorbed there's no white cast. It gives the skin a radiant glow, making it look fantastic when worn alone (recommended for foundation-free days!) - It doesn't absorb instantly, but it does absorb quickly without feeling like it's sitting on top of the skin or not being absorbed - As someone with dry skin who often feels tightness under air conditioning, this seems to prevent moisture loss to some extent
ConsDrawbacks: - As it's not a light and fresh sunscreen, it's not recommended for oily skin types, and men might find it a bit heavy - For the same reason, it's not ideal for those who want to use a single sunscreen for both face and body - It didn't seem to pair well with my cushion foundation (JSM). On days when I used this, I received feedback that my makeup looked a bit patchy
TipThis product might be better suited for fall/winter seasons rather than summer
