My skin is combination with some redness and is slightly sensitive. I've been using the product for about a month and it hasn't caused any issues or discomfort. It has a hydrating formula with a high moisture content, so my skin feels comfortable and supple after application. When choosing a sunscreen, I look for ones that don't cause flakiness, stinging around the eyes, excessive white cast, have a mild fragrance, and aren't too sticky. 1. No flakiness: Some sunscreens can cause pilling and white flakes, but this one has a soothing gel-like texture that applies smoothly without emphasizing dry patches. 2. No eye stinging: Sunscreen around the eyes is a crucial point, and this one doesn't cause any irritation over time. 3. Mild fragrance: The fragrance is subtle and not overpowering, which I appreciate as I'm quite particular about scents. 4. Not sticky: As a essential summer sunscreen, it's important to have minimal stickiness. This sunscreen absorbs quickly without leaving a tacky feeling, so it doesn't interfere with makeup application. I was hesitant to write a review (due to laziness), but this product has turned out to be better than expected, so I've provided a detailed account. I hope this is helpful.
Cons
Hmm... there doesn't seem to be anything...? Ah... it has too little capacity, woe is me...
Tip
Those of you with dry skin!!! I highly recommend it

There is no white cast. It applies smoothly with a moisturizing and soft feel.
Cons
It has an oily texture, making it slightly heavy and greasy. It doesn't provide enough coverage.

It's great that it's gentle and trouble-free. It seems to be non-whitening and provides good UV protection.
Cons
There may be a slight sense of bundling. Those with oily skin may find it slightly heavy.

The gel formula absorbs quickly after application, making it great for use in the summer. It spreads smoothly and just needs a few pats to finish, so you don't have to touch your face too much, reducing the feeling of heat. I was satisfied that it didn't make my cheeks too red, which is a common issue for me in the summer. While sunscreens can easily cause breakouts, this product's gentle formula hasn't caused any trouble for me. I prefer mineral sunscreens, but some sting my eyes, so I don't try new products often. Luckily, this one didn't irritate my eyes either!
Cons
Since it dries quickly, I did feel a bit dry after using this sunscreen and then applying makeup a few hours later. Dryness is always an issue with gel-type products, but it was less noticeable compared to other sunscreen gels I've tried. Still, it's great for a light outing, as I can just swipe it on and go.

It applies smoothly and absorbs incredibly quickly! Also, it's a great formulation for those who don't like stickiness, and for oily-skinned individuals:) Those who like a powdery, non-chalky feel after application will likely enjoy using this product!
Cons
Dry-skinned individuals may find it a bit drying ㅠㅠ Also, the fragrance is quite strong, so you'll need to be careful when using it on an empty stomach or while drinking tea, as it may cause headaches!
Tip
I found that just applying sunscreen left my skin feeling dry, so I tried different methods and found that applying a moisturizing base before the sunscreen worked well for me! Those with dry skin who still prefer a powdery finish may also find this product suitable.

To begin with, I'll let you know about the condition of my skin. First of all, I have sensitive skin. The T-zone is an oily, sebaceous area, while the U-zone has dry, sensitive skin, so it's a combination skin type. What a blessed skin type! The T-zone is prone to a lot of milia, while the other areas rarely have any, but sometimes I get pimples or breakouts when I wear a mask. That's why if I apply something oily or powdery to the T-zone, a lot of milia just pop up. So I usually avoid using acids or powders! When I first received this product, especially the sunscreen, I immediately checked if there were any acne-causing or pore-clogging ingredients, and unfortunately, there were two of them. However, they were quite low on the ingredient list, so I thought it might still be okay. 1. Gentle Ingredients Except for the acids, this is a really gentle product. It has ingredients that won't burden even those with sensitive skin. And in the organic sunscreen, there are no ingredients that often don't agree with people, like ethylhexane or linalool. Even those who usually get breakouts from organic sunscreens can use this without any issues. I did get some milia on my forehead due to the acids, but there were no other breakouts, which shows that apart from the acids, this is really gentle and suitable for most people. 2. Refreshing Texture Organic sunscreens are often sticky and greasy, which many people dislike, but this has a refreshing finish without any of that. Applying makeup on top didn't cause any pilling or hair sticking issues. 3. No White Cast Since organic sunscreen users often dislike white cast, the lack of any tone-up effect is not a downside but rather a positive in my opinion. 4. No Eye Irritation Organic sunscreens can be really irritating to the eyes, but this one didn't cause any stinging or watering, which was great, especially in the summer when I'm exposed to a lot of fan wind. There was almost none of that.
Cons
Acid reflux, there was only one for me. ㅠ If I can't remove them all, please remove at least one. Sob, ㅠ
Tip
Always do a double cleanse thoroughly when washing your face! Applying sunscreen is just as important as removing it, you know!

The application is really smooth! The texture is almost at the level of skincare, so those who find it annoying to apply sunscreen and dislike the typical stickiness after application will likely be 100% satisfied with the feel of this product!
Cons
The sunscreen has a very strong characteristic fragrance. While I am not particularly sensitive to scents, this distinct sunscreen fragrance may be a downside for those who dislike it. Additionally, there was some facial irritation upon use. My mother and sister also tested it, and they experienced a slight stinging sensation on the skin. I did not have any eye irritation, but my sensitive mother did feel a bit of it. I felt that it may be somewhat irritating for those with sensitive skin.

I've tried the Blue Agave Soothing Sun Gel. Sunscreen should be used all year round, but in the summer, I tend to go for mineral-based sunscreens rather than organic ones. This time, I got to try an organic sunscreen through the Hwahae Trial Reviewer program. As my skin is combination and sensitive, with a tendency for breakouts, I paid close attention to the following: 1. Oiliness 2. Acne 3. Redness First, 1. Oiliness: Compared to regular organic sunscreens, this one has a bit more moisture, so oily-skinned individuals may feel a bit greasy by the afternoon. However, there was no dryness or emphasis on flaky skin, which I was satisfied with. 2. Acne: This part was hard to assess as it coincided with my menstrual cycle. 3. Redness: My skin can get red and irritated when I'm tired or using incompatible products due to seborrheic dermatitis, but this sunscreen did not cause any redness or discomfort at all.
Cons
1. May feel slightly greasy. 2. The scent may be divisive.

I have combination/sensitive skin!! I always apply sunscreen without fail, 365 days a year, so I've tried a lot of sunscreens. This Tonymoly Mild Blue Agave Soothing Sun Gel was truly mild. Since I have sensitive skin, if a product doesn't suit me, I usually get breakouts the next day, but I didn't have any breakouts even after using this for several days. That's the best part. And there was no white cast, so it was easy to apply. I also felt like I was applying a moisturizer! It wasn't sticky at all and finished with a refreshing feel. My dad, who is a man, also said he liked using it together with me~ It's a sunscreen that the whole family can use well, so I'm considering repurchasing it^^
Cons
Personally, I have extremely oily skin... Definitely, it felt like the oil came up faster than mineral sunscreens. But this is a highly individual aspect. Anyway, since I apply makeup on top, it gets covered to some extent!

The gel formula is lightweight and the fragrance is a bit strong. It's a formula that can be applied lightly without any white cast, so I used it as a pre-makeup product. Due to the physical sunscreen properties, there was a slight sheen, but it was fine to use on its own.
Cons
Everything else about the usage was satisfactory, but there were days when the fragrance was a bit strong and gave me a headache...
Tip
I would recommend this as a lightweight sun product to use. If you are sensitive to fragrances, please consider the fact that the fragrance is a bit strong.
