Pros
Hwahae applies smoothly and softly. It glides on like a lotion, and even when applied generously, it is quickly absorbed without any stickiness.
Cons
At first, when applying it, there is an alcohol smell, so I'm like 'Is this okay..?' haha. Since I have a slightly sensitive skin, an adaptation period is needed, but it didn't turn over or anything! And as usual, when I apply it, it gets pushed out like a stain on the edges of my face (jawline).. haha. If it gets in my eyes, it stings a lot, and it's also quite oily.

Pros
This is an organic sunscreen in a white, moisturizing gel-type formula. It applies smoothly like a light moisturizer, but sometimes there is a slight gritty or granular sensation when applying. You may need to shake it before use. If you apply a generous amount, it can feel like it's sliding or pilling up on the skin. It's better to apply it in two thin layers. Avoid the eye area as it can cause stinging. When applied, it has a cooling sensation, making it good for use on the arms and legs.
Cons
If you cannot control the amount, it will pile up like a paste when applying foundation on top. And after applying sunscreen, it can be drying, so it's not recommended for dry skin.
Tip
After applying sunscreen, the skin can become dry, so the base should be moisturized but applied thinly.

Pros
I have been using several bottles of the Biore products I purchased during my overseas trip. They are moisturizing, have good spreadability, are non-sticky, and do not cause any skin troubles. It is a reasonably priced, decent sunscreen with good value for money.
Cons
Sometimes, due to the basic combination, the makeup base may slide, so a little caution is necessary.

Pros
The product absorbs well and provides good hydration. There is absolutely no white cast.
Cons
The sunscreen seems to have good moisture, so when I apply it and then do my makeup, the makeup tends to slide off. I need to wait about 5 minutes after applying the sunscreen before doing my makeup.

Pros
Surprisingly, my eyes don't feel very irritated. I bought this sunscreen at the Japanese Donki store without high expectations, knowing it was an organic chemical sunscreen that could potentially irritate my eyes. However, even when I applied it all the way up to my eyelids, my eyes didn't feel irritated. The sunscreen has a light, powdery fragrance and feels slightly oily right after application, but the oiliness subsides to an appropriate level as I continued using it and taking photos for this review. This suggests it could also work well for those with oily skin. Since it's an organic chemical sunscreen, there's no noticeable brightening effect, making it suitable for wearing alone on bare skin. It also pairs well with powder foundations. Great find! If you spot this at the Donki store in Japan, I'd recommend picking it up without much hesitation. It seems to have minimal downsides and could make a nice gift as well. Highly recommended!
Cons
At first, there is a strong alcohol scent. When applied, the alcohol scent is present but quickly disappears! And when blended, it slightly sheers out a bit! It was a Hera powder foundation, so it was already powdery, but it still sheered out a little. However, the degree of impact is not significant, and it actually seemed to work well with the oil-control powder foundation (powdery) that sets well. I think I'll likely use it again, except for special occasions. And besides the transparent plastic packaging on the outside, there was no seal at the opening, so when I opened it, the lid was already open, which was a bit surprising haha. But other than that, everything else is good!
Tip
It's great for wearing on bare skin when going out without burden, and it's also nice as a gift for the same purpose. I also recommend it to gentlemen!

It's not like sunscreen, it's moisturizing and has good spreadability, with almost no stickiness.

When applied before makeup, it feels a bit slippery, so I mainly used it when not wearing makeup.

Pros
I always buy the Biore sunscreen essence (organic) and gel type (inorganic) as a set... In fact, I practically have them stockpiled. Whether I buy them when traveling to Japan or through direct purchase at the lowest price in Korea (direct purchase is also cheaper), they are truly affordable and indispensable items. The essence (organic) type is certainly less irritating to the eyes compared to other organic sunscreens, but after about 2 hours, I start to feel a slight signal in my eyes, so I apply the gel type (inorganic) around my eyes and use this essence (organic) generously on the rest of my face, cheeks, forehead, and neck. It's been almost 4 years now. When I only lived in Seoul, I just thought all sunscreens were the same in terms of cost-effectiveness and used them that way, but after coming to live near the beach in Busan where the sunlight is the strongest, I realized that this sunscreen is an optimal companion beyond just cost-effectiveness. The #Aqua Rich essence is organic, so it doesn't leave a white cast and just feels cool~~ and moisturizing when applied.
Cons
The downside is that ㅋㅋ makeup absolutely does not budge. Since I only apply lip tint as my makeup, it's an advantage for creating a dewy, glowing skin look, but for full makeup, this product is not suitable.
Tip
While it has less eye irritation than other organic sunscreens, it does still give a slight signal over time, so I recommend buying the same brand's Aqua Rich gel (inorganic) to apply only around the eye area.

Pros
The color is like cream, and the application is very smooth (like a lotion texture). The tube packaging makes it easy to control the amount dispensed and use it hygienically without squeezing out too much. It absorbs quickly.
Cons
It's on the thinner side, so you'll need to be careful not to squeeze out too much. It has a very strong alcohol scent, so there's not much other fragrance. It's watery and absorbs quickly, but when applying makeup, the makeup tends to slide off and get patchy. Even when applying a lot, it's so thin that I'm not sure if the sun protection is effective enough.
Tip
It seems more suitable for applying generously to larger areas like the neck or body, rather than the face. There's no white cast.
