During the past few months of using the Tokoboo sun care, I haven't experienced any breakouts, itchiness, or stickiness and I've been using it really well😊 And the most important thing in sun care, the white cast!!!! There's none at all Another thing is that there's no eye irritation when applying it~ The experience may vary for each individual, but I didn't have any issues with it!
ConsThe sun serum was all good, but the stick broke easily, which was a bit disappointing
TipWith a 3-second heat-activated soothing formula and a non-sticky, refreshing texture, this is a vegan product! The fluid-like texture allows me to use the Tokoboo sun care alone as a makeup base, and after my skincare routine, I don't need to apply a separate base product as I can use the Tokoboo sun care as a makeup base.

It doesn't feel like the product is clinging to the skin at all. And when applied, there is a very slight cooling sensation, but as it sets, an even more refreshing feeling emerges! There is no suffocating or heavy feeling as it goes on, and the finish is fresh and luminous. Even though my skin is on the drier side and foundation tends to cling and emphasize flakiness, with this product as a base, my makeup applies smoothly without any patchiness or emphasizing dryness. And when I use this serum before makeup, there is no slipping or pilling at all - the absorption is incredibly fast, so it doesn't feel like I've even applied a product. I will definitely be incorporating this serum step before makeup from now on!! There is no noticeable brightening or tinting effect, but the overall feel is very soothing, almost like a cooling cream. ☑️ White Cast and Eye Irritation Absolutely no white cast whatsoever, and the formula does not contain any color correcting agents. And there was no eye irritation at all. My eyes are very sensitive and prone to stinging from certain products, but this one didn't cause even a single tear. It's amazing. ☑️ Breakouts When I use a product that doesn't agree with my skin, I usually get little blemishes popping up within a few hours. But I've had no such issues with this product - no stinging, no itchiness, nothing. I'm very satisfied. ☑️ Packaging The packaging is great for on-the-go use - it's slim and compact, doesn't take up much space, and has a nice, comfortable grip. ☑️ Scent There is a slight scent, with a bit of an artificial note, but it's not at all overpowering or unpleasant. As someone who generally prefers unscented products, I didn't find the scent to be bothersome. ☑️ Overall Impression I used to only use sunscreens, as I found them to be heavy and pilling under makeup. But this serum is a total game-changer! It's amazing and I'm so impressed.
ConsThe only downside is the price - it's almost 20,000 won, which is quite expensive. But when it comes to an important skincare step like this, I'd rather invest in a quality product than settle for something with a better price-to-performance ratio. Since this is such a game-changing product for me, I think it's worth splurging a bit. At the end of the day, it's an essential part of my routine, so I'm happy to pay a bit more for something that works so well.
TipI definitely recommend trying it out before makeup - it pairs so well and really preps the skin. It works great on its own, but also makes an excellent makeup primer. It's been a long time since I've found a product that I'm this excited about. And that's a shame the before-and-after photo didn't come through clearly - I would have loved to see the difference. But I'm really intrigued by the sunscreen stick from the same brand, so I think I'll have to give that a try as well! This has been such a fantastic discovery.

The finish is refreshing, so there is no oily feel. As described, I can also feel the cooling sensation. 🌱Fragrance The fragrance is aromatic and slightly reminiscent of watermelon? There is a herbal note. Personally, I like the fragrance, but since it is quite strong, those who prefer fragrance-free may not like it. ✅️Product Comparison The Tobocos has a slightly greenish tint, while the X product is white in color. When applied on the back of the hand, Tobocos spreads more transparently and smoothly. When applied to the face, the feel is quite similar. The key difference is that Tobocos feels more hydrating, while the X product has a slightly more oily texture. So I think I'll use Tobocos in spring and summer, and the X product in fall and winter. I much prefer the fragrance of Tobocos!! Applying the X product and then doing makeup doesn't cause any pilling or issues, but the slight oily feel means it doesn't absorb as well if not properly worked in (though this is useful in winter). But the more hydrating Tobocos texture would likely work better for summer makeup application.
ConsI'm still satisfied, so I don't have any negatives to add yet. I'll update if any issues come up.

This one was great - not too rich, but still hydrating and focused on moisture, so my skin didn't feel stuffy. It helps replenish skin moisture and contains aloe leaf extract, which seems to help soothe the skin, so it's a good option for those with problematic skin. On the cooling aspect, I did feel a slight cooling sensation on my cheeks, where I often have heat, but the rest of my face felt the same. The absorption is decent - it starts off a bit tacky but doesn't stay that way once absorbed. No eye irritation, no white cast, and the SPF protection is satisfactory, so I think this will work well as a daily sunscreen. I imagine I'll reach for it often, especially in the summer! 💚 Formulation It's not a pure serum texture, but more of a gel-essence feel that spreads easily. It's more hydrating than I expected, but still has a lightweight, comfortable feel on the skin. 💚 Fragrance It's about 90% aloe scent with a 10% diluted cosmetic fragrance.
ConsThose who dislike the aloe scent may not enjoy this. While it's a well-performing sunscreen that meets my needs, if you don't require the soothing or watery benefits, the price may feel a bit high.
TipFor those looking to transition from a traditional sunscreen texture to more of a sun serum, this lightweight, gel-like formula could be a great introductory option.

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.ProsThe product had an incredibly smooth and creamy application that I really enjoyed!!! The formula was water-based, making it easy to apply, and the packaging was thin and lightweight, making it convenient to carry around!!! When applied, I also felt a soothing cooling effect that had a calming effect!! I was able to use it very satisfactorily.
ConsThe only downside was that there was a bit of slippage when I tried to use it as a base. When using a matte foundation, it would slide around, so I think it would work better if I just applied a light layer on top of the foundation.
TipSince this product has a soothing effect, I used it as a substitute for aloe vera gel when I didn't have any. It helped to manage the heat sensation, so I could use it instead of the inconvenient aloe vera gel when I was out and about with a bare face and my skin was heating up. It was truly an amazing and magical product!

I can immediately feel the cooling sensation, but it's not irritating at all. The scent is also great - a refreshing aloe and herbal fragrance. It feels lightweight and non-irritating, yet has a high SPF which I'm really happy about. I received this as a Hwahae Trial Reviewer, but I will definitely repurchase once I finish it. - No white cast: Completely transparent. - No eye irritation: Absolutely none. - Moisture/oil balance: More moisturizing, but with a slight oily feel. - Texture: Not sticky, with a slightly runny consistency. - Packaging: No inconvenience in using. Doesn't leak even when stored upside down. I'm really satisfied with the ingredients as well! I usually can't use products with propylene glycol (propanediol), as most of the well-known moisturizing products contain it, and I end up not being able to use them. But this one has great application while also having good ingredients. I hope they don't change the formula and keep it this way.
ConsThose with very oily skin may find it difficult to use this in the summer. And those who are used to using sunscreens with a white cast may notice a slight darkening effect when applying this as usual.
TipI use this product on my cheeks and eye area, while using a different, less moisturizing sunscreen on my T-zone and sides of the nose. This method works perfectly for me as someone with combination skin who likes a bright, glowing complexion. I recommend this approach if you have similar skin type and preferences.

It adheres smoothly to the skin. It also has a cooling effect when applied, so it's great to use before makeup during warm seasons when skin temperature rises. It does have a slight oily feel, so it's more recommended for dry skin types rather than oily.
ConsThere were no particular downsides! In fact, the lightweight formula makes it an easy product to reach for.

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 fresh-looking case seems to go well with summer, looking lush and refreshing. *Texture: I thought it was a skincare product. It's that moisturizing and spreads thinly like a serum. *Fragrance: It has a subtle herbal scent, not overpowering. It seems to be due to the cica ingredients. *Ingredients: It can be used safely even for acne-prone skin, and it contains soothing and cooling ingredients, making it perfect for summer use.
ConsMy skin has all kinds of issues like acne, oiliness, trouble, dullness, and sensitivity. As the weather changes, my skin has been acting up again. This is a personal and subjective user experience. *Texture: I felt it was a bit too oily. When I first applied it, I didn't notice, but after some time, it started to feel greasy. Recommended for dry skin! *Cleansing: Since the formula is lightweight, just water cleansing was enough, but when I used a cleansing oil, it emulsified and rinsed off completely white. I wondered if it was actually being cleansed away. *Packaging: The product packaging doesn't have a silver seal. It's slightly less hygienic, but looking at other sunscreens I received as gifts, they all had a silver seal on the dispenser.
TipIf you, like me, dislike the greasy feeling or have oily skin, you can apply a thin layer and let it absorb, then lightly press with blotting paper or touch up with a powder to minimize the oiliness, and you'll be able to use it comfortably.

Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsMy skin type! In the summer, my skin is extremely oily, but it's also very sensitive, so I can't use organic sunscreens and only use mineral sunscreens. When I use organic sunscreens, my face always gets irritated, so I use mineral sunscreens. It's been a long time since I've used anything other than mineral sunscreens. User experience! When I first squeeze it out and apply it to my face, it feels refreshing. The cooling sensation is really refreshing at first. It's temporary, but it helps reduce facial heat, which is great. It absorbs really quickly, almost like an essence. When I apply mineral sunscreen, I often get a white cast, but this just gets absorbed into my skin, so it looks like I'm not wearing anything at all. Oil and moisture? Since I'm oily, the oil balance is important, but the oil isn't too excessive. It absorbs like a moisture essence, so I don't feel dry or tight, and my skin stays hydrated. There's a slight oiliness, but it might just be my natural skin oil. Dry skin types might feel dry even with just this. Dry skin types should do a good skincare routine and apply it well. Oily skin types can just do a light skincare routine and apply this, and it will look clean! Stickiness! It's not sticky at all. After applying it, it gets fully absorbed in 1-2 minutes, and it doesn't leave a residue or interfere with my skincare routine. Many people don't apply sunscreen to their necks, but you should always apply it thoroughly to your neck as well. Your neck can age you prematurely if it gets sunburned. But with this, it absorbs smoothly without any stickiness, so even people who dislike applying it to their necks will find it comfortable.
ConsIt seems like you wrote that a bit too quickly... The presence of cica is good, as it has soothing ingredients while also providing sun protection, but since you have sensitive skin, you did experience one blemish coming up. Apart from that, everything else is good. If you apply foundation or cushion right after using this, it can get a bit patchy. Please wait about 2 minutes to allow the sun serum to fully absorb before applying anything else on top.
TipSince this is not a mineral sunscreen, it seems like your sunscreen-specific cleanser is able to remove it completely with just the first cleanse.
