Since the sunscreen is the first step in my skincare routine, the compatibility with the foundation is important, and I also wear it on days when I don't wear makeup, so it's important that it's not irritating and provides the right amount of tone-up. Everyone knows that sunscreen is a must 365 days a year, right?! The tone-up effect is not as strong as you might think, and it fades away over time without any white cast. Anyway, while searching for sunscreens, I came across a Realbarrier sunscreen that contains a green base, which I had used before when I had severe seborrheic dermatitis and saw great results, and I was able to purchase it at a low price on Bungaejangter. When I used it...this product is really transparent...haha It's really, really transparent...haha The texture when I first applied it and the texture when it went on my skin were somewhat different, but this product is consistent...haha It's a product that contains both oil and moisture, and it goes on smoothly with a slightly oily but very moisturizing texture, so it doesn't dry out or get patchy, and it adheres well when I apply foundation on top...haha It's a bit...very oily....😇
ConsThis product is quite oily. When you see the oil paper, you can confirm that it is all soaked...😭 It needs powder treatment...haha Compared to other sunscreens, it is quite oily...but it also contains a lot of moisture! And in my opinion, the green color is minimal. (Referring to the photo, the green color is definitely lighter compared to makeup bases) This means that this product absolutely does not cover redness, but rather, it should be approached with the idea that it gently blocks UV rays. And... Mineral sunscreens usually contain two types of zinc + titanium, but this product only contains zinc, so I had a little doubt about its UV blocking ability. It's surprising that such a good application can be a mineral sunscreen...but since it's the Real Barrier line, I guess it can be trusted!
TipIt's incredibly rich...😇 Photo verification is a must.... But it also has a lot of moisture, so it seems like it would be good for those with dry skin~ I use this on the U-zone and the Cosnorin tone-up sun cream on the T-zone!

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...

I used it well during the Hwahae Trial Reviewer period without any skin troubles. 🌿Ingredients The ingredients are gentle, and it contains calming centella ingredients, so even sensitive skin can use it comfortably. 👍🏻 🌿Fragrance-free It is a low-irritation, fragrance-free sunscreen. 🧡❤ Since there are no fragrances in the ingredients, it's good. The fragrance-free formula makes it suitable for daily sunscreen use. 🌿Texture Although it's a mineral sunscreen, the texture is not thick and sticky but rather smooth. The initial feeling is moisturizing, and it becomes pleasantly powdery over time. 🌿Green-based It helps to some extent with redness on the face and can provide tone correction. This was my first time using a green-based tone-up sunscreen, and it suited my skin well. 🌿Tone-up Depending on skin tone, skin type, and personal preference, opinions may vary a lot. There was a slight white cast initially, but it absorbed naturally over time. It seems useful for going out with just tone correction on bare skin.
Cons🥲The price is a bit burdensome. Please sell it on Hwahae more often with sales/set offers (1+1). I didn't feel an immediate calming effect while using it. There was a bit of pore clogging and some stickiness around the nose, so you need to do a good basic skincare routine before using this sunscreen. Make sure to have a solid moisturizing & hydrating base. While not severe, I felt a slight dryness and oiliness increase over time.
TipApply in small amounts and multiple times! This is a product where portion control is important, so don't apply a lot at once. Apply it in several layers and let it absorb.

Natural Tone-Up When I first used it, the creamy texture with a greenish tint spread smoothly, and it felt whiter than expected. It's like the organic sunscreen texture is mixed with the white cast of the mineral sunscreen. After 1-2 minutes, the white cast gradually gets absorbed, and the color becomes a bit more natural, resulting in a quite natural tone-up. Definitely, the skin tone looks whiter than before application. 2. Extremely Moisturizing Texture There's no feeling of drying or thickening as you apply more. From start to finish, it remains very moisturizing and smooth, so there was no discomfort at all when applying it all over the face. 3. Fragrance-Free There's no scent of the ingredients at all - it's completely fragrance-free. Those sensitive to fragrances can use this without any issues.
Cons1. Oily Finish Since I have oily skin, I've been preferring more mattifying products, especially as the weather gets warmer. This product does become gradually more matte over time, but if you go out right after applying, your face will look shiny. The photo was taken right after application under LED lighting, so you can see the level of oiliness.

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.Pros💙 Texture, Color, Application The cream formula applies smoothly and evenly! The sunscreen itself has a light greenish tint, but when applied to the face, it appears white and provides a slight tone-up effect. 💙 Blemishes, Oiliness There is a slight oily feeling right after application, but gently patting with a blotting paper prevents excessive shine. After using the product for about 10 days, I didn't experience any major breakouts or worsening of my skin condition. 💙 Makeup Compatibility, Recommended Skin Type The slightly oily formula seems to work better with matte-finish base products. Using a dewy cushion foundation caused the base to break down faster. Oily skin types may find this suitable for use in the winter, while dry skin types can use it comfortably year-round.
Cons💚 Oiliness, Slight Breakdown As my skin type is on the oilier side, when the weather gets warmer, I tend to experience increased sebum production. Yes, my skin does produce quite a bit of oil... On hot days, the sunscreen can cause a slight shiny appearance, but this is an inevitable issue for oily skin types. I would recommend this more for dry skin types!
Tip🧡 Using a spatula to apply the sunscreen helps distribute it thinly and evenly, without any uneven buildup. The smooth, creamy texture makes for a great application. 🧡 For oily skin types, after applying the sunscreen, you can use a blotting paper (folded in half to create a thinner layer) to remove excess oil from the face. Followed by a light dusting of powder, this can be a great routine!

Since I don't usually wear makeup, I prefer products that can cover my main skin concern, which is enlarged pores. The Cica sunscreen satisfies me as it covers my pores right after application. It covers my skin complexes well. It doesn't completely hide my pores, but it's much better than not using it, and I like that it makes my pores less visible. The Cica sunscreen's green-tinted formula suits my reddish skin perfectly. It covers the redness and brightens my skin tone, which I really like. It may appear white at first, but if you pat it in well, it blends naturally into the skin without any unnatural look. I think this sunscreen would be great for those with reddish skin. It controls the redness and provides a tone-up effect, so I'm very satisfied with it. I didn't experience any stinging or discomfort when applying it. There's no issue with it being sticky or difficult to apply, and the texture is soft and blends well into the skin. If it applies too white, you can just pat it in to make it absorb better. There's also no unpleasant scent or adverse reaction. So I've been using it very satisfactorily. Since the texture has a green tint, there's also hardly any transfer onto my mask! I didn't feel my skin becoming stuffy or dry even in the afternoon. I used it with great satisfaction. I'll definitely repurchase it when I run out.
ConsThe price is a bit high, so I hesitate to repurchase it. If there's a discount, I'd consider buying it again!! After some time, my skin starts producing a lot of oil and becoming shiny, and then my pores start enlarging and I can see some blackheads appearing ㅜ This seems to be an issue with my skin type. Those with dry skin might not experience this. The sunscreen dispenser hole is a bit large, so a bit too much comes out ㅋㅋ But it's not a major inconvenience or disappointment.

I usually use a color corrector, but I didn't need to use a separate green corrector since this one worked well on its own 😋 ✔️ Natural tone-up It was great that it provided a natural tone-up. I usually use a little tone-up cream on my neck, but I didn't need to use it separately when I applied this sunscreen ☺️ However, those who dislike any white cast may not prefer this.
Cons✔️ Slight stickiness and oiliness Due to the mineral sunscreen properties, there was some stickiness and oiliness. Those with dry skin types may want to build up a strong skincare base before using this!The oiliness may be something to watch out for in the summer.
Tip✨Mineral sunscreen features: : No eye irritation / Reduces pores and breakouts⬇️/ Low irritation/ Slight stickiness+subsequent oiliness/ Absorbs quickly so it's fine to apply before going out

ConsThe oily feel and moisturizing properties may feel a bit shiny on oily skin types or during the summer.

It spreads well without any clumping, which I found very satisfying. 💭Tone-up With its green base, this sunscreen is great for those with redness or ruddy complexions. It helps to cover some of the redness on the face, but in a natural way rather than making the skin look unnaturally pale and blotchy. 💭No eye irritation Mineral sunscreens can sometimes cause stinging in the eyes, but I didn't experience any of that with this product. As it's a non-mineral formula, it didn't irritate my eyes at all. 💭No breakouts True to its calming ingredients, this sunscreen did not cause any breakouts or aggravate my skin. However, I'm not sure if it has any noticeable soothing effects.
ConsIt has a slightly oily texture, so those with oily skin may find it difficult to use on its own, especially in the summer. It would likely work better as a primer under a matte foundation or cushion compact.
