ConsEvery time I apply it, it smears and feels uneven. This is the worst sunscreen I've ever used. I applied it a few times but ended up throwing it in the trash.

The Tocopherol Sika Calming Sun Serum is said to help cool down the heat on my face when I apply it, and I felt refreshed and good when I used it. It has a lightweight serum or lotion-like texture. It's definitely lighter than a cream, so it glides on smoothly and absorbs well. And I didn't experience any white cast, even though it contains organic sunscreen. It has a lightweight, moisturizing formula. Because it's so moisturizing, my skin felt hydrated and comfortable, and my base makeup applied well afterwards.
ConsThis has almost no tone-up function, so if you need a tone-up for light makeup, you'll likely need to use a different sunscreen.

It absorbed quickly and didn't leave any white cast, which was great.
ConsSince I used it in the summer, it seemed to melt off my face as soon as I went outside:( It got mixed with my sweat and my face didn't look as clean as I'd like ㅠ I'll have to use it more like a basic skincare product in the winter..

As a serum, it has a smooth application and absorbs into the skin without any sticky residue. It does not contain stearic acid, which makes it suitable for those with oily or problematic skin (an ingredient commonly found in most sunscreens). No irritation around the eyes.
ConsThere are no particular downsides to this product. It will likely become a staple in my skincare routine going forward.
TipUsing this product can replace the serum and sunscreen steps in my skincare routine, allowing me to achieve a lighter makeup application.

As I have an extremely sensitive skin, even a little bit of oiliness can instantly cause pimples and breakouts?! But as soon as I apply it, it absorbs completely without any heaviness, whitening, or stickiness. It just feels like I've applied one more serum. It has a subtle aloe scent and it's not at all burdensome to apply generously, so it seems perfect for summer. When my skin gets weakened by the heat and sun, I usually have to apply aloe gel, let it dry, and then put on sunscreen - what a hassle! But this product combines all that in one, which is great. I think I'll be using this a lot in the summer~
ConsThe packaging is not a tube but plastic, which is a bit disappointing. However, the packaging seems to suit the formula well.
TipIt's so gentle and moisturizing, I'd recommend it for sensitive skin! I also suggest using it as a moisture primer instead of your regular primer! It helps cool down the skin temperature and provides a dewy, smooth finish, so your makeup applies beautifully and has a radiant glow😍

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.

It's based on my 3-day experience - The degree of transfer was the best ❤️ Since there was no transfer at all, this part was very good to apply on the neck In the summer, when applying sunscreen on the neck, it would turn white or the organic sunscreen would be too oily, so the oil stain would come off on clothes But I found that this part is almost non-existent The final finish absorbed moisturizing (when applied in small amounts) When applied heavily, it becomes slippery and mixes with other products, causing a slight slipping effect - The scent!!! It's a refreshing scent similar to cucumber There might be likes and dislikes, but I was satisfied with it As it is a sun serum, it applies smoothly and has a moisturizing cream-like feel, so it seems best to apply the sun serum after perfectly absorbing the moisturizing cream I applied it thoroughly and I am very satisfied!
ConsThere were no disappointing points There were no poor ingredients according to Hwahae, and it even had a calming effect, which seems good for acne-prone skin
TipAs I mentioned before, as it is a sun serum, it applies smoothly and has a moisturizing cream-like feel, so it seems best to apply the sun serum after perfectly absorbing the cream step before makeup!

It seems to have a cucumber soap scent, but I was okay with it. It may seem a bit shiny right after application, but if you let it absorb for about a minute, it finishes off soft and velvety without any excess residue!
ConsThere's nothing disappointing about it!! As it's a non-sticky sunscreen, it seems good to use daily.
TipThe 5th photo is with the Cica sunscreen applied on the bottom, and the 6th photo is with the Tokoboo blue sunscreen applied on top! The blue one definitely has a more moisturizing finish. When I touched it again, I could feel the dewy glow flowing, while the green one just had a soft, glowy feel. I find the overly moisturizing texture of the blue one a bit burdensome, and the floral scent is not my preference, so I think I'll continue using the green one!

The scent is also not particularly polarizing, a pleasant fragrance, and not the pungent(?) sunscreen-specific scent, which I liked. It also applied very smoothly and softly. Especially since it's a sun serum rather than a sunscreen, it absorbs really well like a serum and is moisturizing. It absorbs right away. It doesn't get shiny or cakey, and absorbs naturally. Among sunscreen products, there are some that make the skin look white, but this product has no white cast and I'm using it really well!
ConsThe container is made of sturdy plastic, and there's no separate opening part, so it might be difficult to scrape out and use the product completely when it's almost finished.

It applies so lightly and smoothly, almost like applying a basic lotion. Even in the mornings when I'm in a rush, it glides on without any heaviness or clumping, and absorbs quickly without needing to layer it on. The consistency is just right - not too thin or too thick. Since there's no white cast, it's also suitable for men to use. It applies transparently without any tone-up effect. When I was using this product, I had some contact dermatitis issues, but applying the serum didn't cause any irritation, which has really built my trust in the ingredients and the soothing properties. The 50ml bottle has a slim design, so it doesn't take up much space on my vanity and is easy to travel with.
ConsI'm not sure if it's because of this product or other factors, but I've occasionally felt a slight pilling effect. I'll have to experiment with the application amount.
