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.
Cons1. May feel slightly greasy. 2. The scent may be divisive.

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^^
ConsPersonally, 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 review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. 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.ProsThe fragrance is just like that of cosmetics. I didn't find it too bothersome, but it might have a bit of a love-hate vibe. The texture is more like a watery, moist ampoule-like lotion, rather than a gel. The usage experience was good. It felt cool and moisturizing when applied. The finish has a slightly radiant effect. At first, it may make your hair stick a bit, but it gets absorbed after a while. There were no whitening or tone-up effects. At first, the cool and moist feeling was nice, but for my combination-oily skin, the oil started coming back after about 2 hours. So I wouldn't recommend using it directly on the face for combination-oily skin types. A good option would be to use it before makeup and then apply a mattifying cushion or powder to control the oil. I'll try this method and update my review later. The product itself is decent, but the oiliness that came back was a bit disappointing for my skin type. However, it finishes nicely and refreshingly on the arms and legs, so it might be better to use it as a body product.
ConsFor me, who has combination skin, the sebum content rises quickly, which is a bit of a shame. Especially in the summer, the sebum content seems to rise very quickly. In the winter, it should be a bit less.
TipIt would be better to apply it before makeup or use it as a body product rather than applying it alone.

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. 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.ProsIt's really moisturizing and the makeup applies well when you apply it. I'm not sure exactly what the scent is, but it has a subtle fragrance that's nice. If you don't like fragranced products, you might not like it, but it's not overpowering, so most people probably won't strongly dislike it. I really don't like sunscreens that are chalky and a bit thick, but this one is very moisturizing and doesn't have any white cast, so it's great to apply generously in the summer and wear around. The fluid, moisturizing formula is easy to apply without feeling heavy or sticky.
ConsIt's moisturizing, but it leaves a slightly greasy feeling when you apply it. It doesn't seem to be an overly oily product, but there's a sense of being in between moisturized and shiny when you put it on. In the summer when I sweat a lot on my face, if I don't put powder on top, I can literally see my face melting in real-time.

I really dislike the heavy, sticky feeling that is typical of sunscreens. This sunscreen doesn't have that, and just leaves a slightly oily feeling. And the absorption is incredibly fast! It's like it just whooshes in. There's also not much residue left behind. ✨️Skin Type I have dry skin, and aside from the shiny exterior, I felt a slight inner dryness! Even in the summer, I'm the type who doesn't use powder at all and barely sweats, so if you tend to get a bit oily, this sunscreen can help control that a bit. I felt it would be good for both dry and combination skin types. ✨️Fragrance Personally, I was very satisfied with it. It's like they've amplified the faint floral scent that comes from tissue paper. It's an inoffensive, neutral fragrance. Kind of a Tony Moly-ish scent? I dislike the stuffy scent typical of gentle sunscreens, so this fragrance really pleased me. ✨️Eye Irritation I'm not extremely sensitive to eye irritation, but in general gentle sunscreens don't cause me any issues. This one didn't irritate my eyes either! ✨️Breakouts I tend to get breakouts more on my arms and neck when applying sunscreen, but I didn't experience any breakouts with this one! The application is smooth, so I could quickly spread it over a large area. It also has minimal tinting, so I found it good to apply on my body without worrying about it. ✨️Makeup Compatibility Wearing this didn't make my makeup apply particularly well, but it didn't interfere with it either! Since it absorbs so well and doesn't cause any pilling, there's no need to worry about that. Personally, I got a similar feeling to the Laneige Sunscreen.
ConsI have dry skin so it was fine, but there's a bit of a shiny, oily look to it. As it's a sunscreen, some oiliness is unavoidable, but if you dislike the oily feel, this could be a downside. Compared to other sunscreens I use, the oiliness is about the same, so for dry skin types it might just be like 'Oh, it's glowy!'
TipIt's great for applying on the neck and arms! The minimal residue left behind also makes it good for reapplying throughout the day. It's a good lightweight option to apply before makeup as a sun protection base.

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. 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.ProsTexture: Out of all the sunscreen products I've tried, this one is the most fluid (more fluid than a gel). ✅It's as fluid as a lotion, spreads easily, and absorbs quickly! It's easy to apply with a quick swipe, and since it's so lightweight, it feels great on the skin! Scent: The scent is quite strong - it's reminiscent of a men's skincare scent, but also similar to a common sunscreen scent. ✅The scent isn't unpleasant, but ☑️those sensitive to strong fragrances should take note! ✅No white cast, stickiness, or eye irritation!
Cons🫥Oiliness (usage): Despite the lightweight texture, the usage experience wasn't as light as I expected. I find all sunscreens to be somewhat oily, but ☑️this one felt particularly more so. ✅There is some oiliness, but the skin still felt comfortable. Caudalie Sunscreen vs. Tony Moly: Compared to the Caudalie sunscreen that people say is lightweight, I also found the Caudalie to have some oiliness, and ✅the oiliness was similar to the Tony Moly. However, the Caudalie made my skin feel smooth and allowed makeup to apply well, while ☑️🔴the Tony Moly felt a bit slippery, reducing longevity and adhesion. -Conclusion: The texture is more fluid and lightweight than the Caudalie sunscreen, but it falls short in terms of oiliness and as a makeup base.
Tip🟡For oily skin types, it's not bad as a pre-makeup sunscreen, but it's quite far from being an ideal makeup-friendly sunscreen! I recommend it for body use. It spreads easily with a quick swipe, and the oiliness isn't as intense on the body as it is on the face. 🟡For dry skin types, I recommend it as a pre-makeup sunscreen as well as for body use!

It does not feel heavy or sticky after application, so it is not burdensome to use as a base product. The whitening effect is not very noticeable, which makes it suitable for everyday use.
ConsThe formula has a lot of oil content, so when used as a base for other skincare products, it can make the sunscreen application feel heavy and shiny. The oily finish leaves a sticky and tacky feel on the skin.
