Since there aren't many sunscreens on the market with only zinc oxide, I switched from Goodal to Real Barrier sunscreen for its tone-up effect. I'm thrilled with how the green base neutralizes redness and gradually blends into a natural shade that complements my complexion. The texture is surprisingly smooth for a mineral sunscreen, not at all like typical zinc formulas. As someone with super sensitive skin who couldn't even consider base makeup before, I think I've found my holy grail sunscreen in this product!
ConsThere's nothing negative to report! Though it's worth noting that, like most mineral sunscreens, it can tend to clump a bit when you sweat.
TipMineral sunscreens can become drying over time, so make sure to apply a generous layer of moisturizer before using this product.

Real Barrier sunscreen for soothing that green-tinged redness! 1. Glides on smoothly with excellent absorption 2. The green tint isn't dull and naturally neutralizes redness 3. Brightens without caking, love how it evens skin tone 4. Doesn't clog pores, and with Cica ingredients, it's great for sensitive skin too
ConsNo major drawbacks, though while it evens skin tone, the coverage could be better
TipI recommend mixing it with BB cream for enhanced results

I'm loving it! First off, as someone with blemish-prone skin, I'm really impressed with the ingredients! Since using this sunscreen, I haven't had any breakouts - it's working great for me! What I love most is how it naturally evens out my skin tone. I've been on the hunt for a brightening sunscreen, and Real Barrier's product really illuminates my complexion. It's perfect for those no-makeup days! While I usually go for super hydrating sunscreens, this one's more middle-of-the-road in terms of moisture. If you have dry skin, you might want to layer on some hydrating products underneath. It's fantastic as a makeup base - it evens out your skin tone and creates a lovely canvas. Plus, it's fragrance-free, which makes it even more pleasant to use!
ConsThe price point is a bit steep... Sunscreen is something you go through quickly, so it's hard to justify spending this much on a product that doesn't last long. It might be a bit too pricey for regular use.

Natural brightening effect When I first applied it, the light green, moisturizing formula spread smoothly. It initially appeared whiter than expected. You could think of it as a blend of organic sunscreen texture with the white cast of mineral sunscreen. After 1-2 minutes, the white cast gradually absorbs, resulting in a more natural color that evens skin tone nicely. It definitely makes your complexion appear lighter than before application. 2. Extremely hydrating application Unlike some products that start off moisturizing but become dry and stiff as you apply, this one maintains its hydrating quality from start to finish. It spreads easily and smoothly across the entire face without any discomfort whatsoever. 3. Fragrance-free There's absolutely no scent, not even from the raw ingredients. This makes it suitable for those with sensitive noses, as it won't trigger any likes or dislikes based on fragrance.
Cons1. Oiliness As someone with oily skin, I prefer a more matte finish, especially as the weather starts to warm up. This product takes some time to set to a less dewy finish, so if you head out immediately after application, your face might look a bit shiny. The photo shows how it looks right after application on the back of my hand under LED lighting, so you can see the level of shine.

Slight green tint: The sunscreen has a subtle green tint that helps neutralize redness! I usually use a color corrector, but with this, I don't need a separate green corrector, which is great. Natural brightening: I loved how it naturally evens skin tone. I usually use a brightening moisturizer on my neck, but with this sunscreen, I don't need to use a separate product for my neck. However, if you dislike any white cast, this might not be for you!
ConsSlight thickness and richness: Due to the nature of mineral sunscreens, it has a somewhat thick texture and feels rich. If you have dry skin, make sure to apply a good moisturizer underneath! As it can feel a bit oily, you might need to pay attention to oil control in summer.
TipMineral sunscreen characteristics: No eye irritation / Less likely to clog pores and cause blemishes / Gentle on skin / Thick texture with subsequent richness / Absorbs quickly, so it's fine to apply right before going out

First off, for context, my skin type is combination dehydrated, sensitive, and prone to blemishes. Color: The fourth photo shows my skin after application, while the fifth is before. As you can see, it provides a natural brightening effect. The subtle green tint would be especially beneficial for those with redness-prone skin! It's perfect for hot summer days when your skin tends to flush - great to use before foundation. Texture: I prefer mineral sunscreens that don't sting my eyes, and this one fits the bill! Unlike many mineral sunscreens that can feel thick, this one has a surprisingly pleasant texture. It's almost as hydrating as chemical sunscreens, gliding smoothly onto the skin with excellent adherence. Ingredients: As the name suggests, it contains cica ingredients known for their soothing properties. It also includes niacinamide, which is great for improving the appearance of blemish marks and hyperpigmentation. With SPF 50+ PA++++, it's perfect for those who prefer a foundation-free makeup look. Recommended for: - Those with redness-prone skin - Anyone looking for a soothing sunscreen - People concerned about acne scars That's my honest review of the Real Barrier Cica Green Tone-Up Sunscreen as a Hwahae Tester!
ConsThe regular price of 29,000 won feels a bit steep, so I'd recommend waiting for a sale to purchase 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.ProsThis sunscreen seems ideal for those with super sensitive skin. Being a mineral sunscreen with gentle ingredients, I didn't experience any burning sensation or eye irritation. It's said to contain ingredients that help soothe the skin. While I didn't personally feel a calming effect, I think it helped prevent my skin from becoming more sensitive. The brightening moisturizer effect is natural and pretty. I really dislike sunscreens that leave a ghostly white cast, but this product's tone-up effect is pleasantly natural. It applies moisturizing but finishes with a soft, matte feel. That's why I'd recommend it for combination dehydrated skin or oily skin types who prefer a hydrating product.
ConsIt's too drying for very dry skin. The finish feels dry after absorption, so it becomes increasingly dehydrating over time. I wouldn't recommend it for those with extremely dry skin; I'd suggest using a chemical sunscreen instead. On days when I skimped on my skincare routine and only applied this sunscreen, I felt significant dryness. The price is steep. Compared to my go-to sunscreen, it's almost twice the cost... Especially in summer when sunscreen is used frequently, this price point could be burdensome.

If you're okay with the slight white cast from mineral sunscreens, you'll find this looks natural :) - Texture: : It feels soft and hydrating without being too heavy! - Scent: : There's a slight typical sunscreen scent, but I didn't find it bothersome
ConsThe rich and moisturizing feel might make those with oily skin, or anyone during summer, feel a bit greasy..!

It spreads easily without clumping, which I found very satisfying. Tone-up effect: With its green base, it's great for those with redness or flushing. It helps cover facial redness to some extent. The brightening effect looks natural, not like a floating white mask on your face. Eye sensitivity: Unlike chemical sunscreens that often sting my eyes, this mineral sunscreen caused no eye irritation. Blemishes: True to its calming ingredients, this sunscreen didn't cause any blemishes. However, I'm not sure if it actively provides a soothing effect when applied.
ConsIt's a bit rich for oily skin types. It probably won't work as a standalone product in summer. You might need to use it under a matte foundation or cushion compact.
