I've been suffering from severe acne and oily skin since upper elementary school, so my skin is sensitive and prone to redness. I've been going to a dermatologist for redness treatment lately, and while my skin still gets a bit shiny after applying sunscreen, I was satisfied that the redness was reduced. - As a mineral sunscreen, it provides UV protection immediately after application, so I can quickly apply it before going out. And the subtle tone-up effect means that when I go out with a bare face, it looks a bit more polished. - Thanks to the centella ingredients, my skin feels soothed and calmed.
Cons- Since my skin is so sensitive, it often ends up reacting badly after a week or two, so I'm a bit worried. - I have seborrheic dermatitis and very oily skin, but I also sometimes get severely dehydrated. After a while, this sunscreen makes my skin feel oily, but also a bit tight and dry. + Oh no, it ended up irritating my skin :( The usage experience was good, but...

However, even products containing Cica ingredients don't always work well for my skin. I also needed sunscreen, and there were a few reddish marks, so I was hoping for a 'Cica' or 'Tone-up' sunscreen. And a trusted Real Barrier brand. That's why I really wanted to be selected for the trial. Fortunately, I was able to try it out. But unfortunately, it didn't work well for me. ㅠㅠ I prefer a more moisturized feel rather than a powdery finish. This sunscreen was moisturizing right after application, but it became drier over time. So it felt a bit dry for me, and I had to apply an additional moisturizer. And the tone-up function was also less effective than I expected. ㅠㅠ My poor physical condition during the trial period may have had some impact, so I think I need to use it more to know for sure.
ConsIt became drier over time, even though it was moisturizing right after application.
TipI think it would be better to use this around summer rather than winter.

I have super sensitive skin that gets easily irritated by any mismatch in products, and sunscreens also require thorough cleansing! I double cleanse on the days I use this sunscreen! 🤍I used this when going out for a quick meal or a short walk near my house, and the coverage from the concealer over any trouble spots was great! I think this will become a staple product for me. Sunscreen replacement.
Cons🖤For dry skin types, if you don't properly do your base skincare, there might be some tightness. Be sure to apply moisturizer properly and then use the sunscreen!

Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThis product excels in both sun protection and tone-up functions. 🍀As I have sun allergies, sun protection is a priority for me. I've been applying it without any issues. 🍀I'm satisfied with how it conceals freckles and blemishes. Compared to using a sun cream without a tone-up function, the difference is quite noticeable. 🍀The texture applies smoothly without feeling thick or sticky. 🍀I was worried that my face would look unnaturally pale when wearing just this, but it turned out fine and looked more natural over time. 🌸Overall, I'm very satisfied with both the sun protection (SPF PA++++ 50) and the tone-up function. 🌸Especially in the summer when layering multiple products can feel heavy, I can just use this one and it will conceal imperfections and make my complexion look brighter, so I think I'll be using this quite often.
Cons🌻 After using it for about 2 months, I'm almost out. Since my skin is dry, I've felt a bit of dryness using just this product. I've been mixing it with another sun cream without a tone-up function.
Tip🌼In the winter, when my skin tends to be drier, I think it would be good to mix this with a moisturizing or nourishing cream as well.

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThis sunscreen seems suitable for those with sensitive skin. It is a mineral sunscreen and has gentle ingredients, so there were no issues with irritation, stinging eyes, or the like. It is said to contain ingredients that help soothe the skin. While I didn't personally feel a calming effect, I do think it helped prevent my skin from becoming more sensitive. The tone-up effect is natural and pretty. I really dislike sunscreens that leave a whitish, floating tone, but this product has a natural tone-up that I liked. It applies moisturly, but the finish is on the drier side. So I'd recommend this to oily-skinned or those who prefer a more matte finish.
ConsFor extremely dry skin, it's too drying. After it's absorbed, the finish feels dry, so it gets even drier over time. I wouldn't really recommend this to those with very dry skin - it would be better to use an organic sunscreen instead. On days when I didn't do a thorough skincare routine and just used this sunscreen, I felt a lot of dryness. It's also quite pricey. The sunscreen I usually use is almost half the price... Especially in the summer when I use sunscreen very frequently, a sunscreen at this price point would be quite burdensome.

It doesn't appear too pale and adheres nicely to the skin. It's non-chemical sunscreen, but the formula is soft and smooth, with good application. It's more compact than expected. I carried it around with me. There's no fragrance and no irritation xxx
ConsIt gets a bit drying after some time. The tone-up effect also doesn't last very long. You have to double cleanse!
TipBuild a strong base...Absorb the moisturizer really well!

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsFirst of all, my skin is an extremely dry type with no moisture at all, and I often have peeling skin regardless of the season, so my makeup tends to come off easily. I have to constantly take care of my dry skin, and if I use cosmetics that don't suit my skin, my sensitive skin gets irritated right away. So when choosing a sunscreen, I have to be very careful. Fortunately, the Cica Green Tone-Up Sunscreen contains centella extract, which helps soothe the skin, so I was able to use it without any irritation! Personally, I don't like sunscreens that have a thick or sticky texture when applied, so the application aspect is also important to me. This sunscreen has a light texture and applies smoothly, almost as if I'm not wearing anything, and it absorbs quickly into the skin. Most importantly, the finish is refreshing and there's a slight tone-up effect without any white cast. The fragrance-free formula is just perfect, allowing me to use it comfortably without any aversion.
ConsThe price seems a bit high considering the amount. And while there is a slight tone-up effect when I first apply it, the effect doesn't last long... So if you're expecting a significant and long-lasting tone-up, this might not be the best option. Also, although it felt somewhat moisturizing when I applied it, it wasn't enough for my extremely dry skin, and my skin felt drier over time.
TipIf you prefer a sunscreen that applies lightly and doesn't feel heavy on the skin after makeup, this product could be a good option for you. :) However, for those with dry skin like mine, you may need to use an additional moisturizer to properly hydrate your skin while using this.

Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsAdvantages 1. It is a sunscreen with good ingredients that can be used even for sensitive skin! 2. It gives a naturally whitening effect.
ConsDisadvantages 1. It absorbs quickly, but it feels a bit oily and slightly greasy. I think I know what 'dryness' means! It has a slightly drying feeling. 2. Personally, I think it would be better for my combination skin in winter than in summer!
Tip*Photos - 1,2: Immediately after applying the sunscreen / After about 8 hours or more 1. From the reviews, some people feel it's drying, and for my combination skin, I also feel a bit of oiliness, but I think the degree of feeling depends on how you do your skincare routine and your skin type. For those with dry skin, it's best to have a solid skincare routine, and for those with combination or oily skin, using it lightly would be just right for the current weather, as it would create the right amount of sebum. 2. If you're using foundation or cushion in addition to the sunscreen, I recommend applying only a small amount of the sunscreen and then doing your makeup. For those who only use the sunscreen, having a solid skincare routine and applying the sunscreen moderately should work well.

Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThe product had a natural tone-up effect. First, I'm currently taking isotretinoin, so my skin is quite dry. The two products I've been using well recently are: 1) Dr.G Red Blemish Sun Cream 2) Round Lab Birch Juice Moisturizing Sun Cream Even when applied before makeup, they don't feel heavy and are gentle, with no irritation at all. The Real Barrier Sun Cream I received as an event prize is a mineral sunscreen, but it's still hydrating and has a slight tone-up effect. Using it as a base before makeup helped even out my skin tone nicely, and there's no stinging around the eyes either, even when applied liberally.
ConsThe makeup tends to come off around the sides of my nose and under my chin over time. It may be more noticeable since my skin is dry right now, but this product seems to be particularly problematic. It's hydrating when first applied, but gets a bit drying after a while. From what I've seen, this seems to be a common issue with most mineral sunscreens.
