Pros
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.

Pros
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.

Pros
My skin is very sensitive, so I've been stubbornly using only mineral sunscreens. But this time, I've opened my eyes to organic sunscreens. It applies so smoothly and there's no white cast! It was a whole new world. Texture: It was an incredibly soft and creamy formula! Fragrance: It had a powdery scent that was almost fragrance-free. Moisture: It was incredibly hydrating and absorbed well. Even after some time, it was much more moisturizing than mineral sunscreens. Oiliness: It was very hydrating when applied, but it absorbed quickly without any greasiness. Eye irritation: None at all White cast: None at all Makeup transfer: None at all! It's actually great to use as a base before makeup.
Cons
Compared to the mineral sunscreens I've used before, this one is so hydrating and absorbs quickly, I almost questioned whether it would be effective. There was a slight warming sensation when I applied it, but it subsided quickly. But other than that, there are almost no downsides and I love it.
Tip
With mineral sunscreens, just applying the sunscreen alone would provide some tone correction, but organic sunscreens leave me looking very bare-faced. So I apply it in two thin layers, and then add a small amount of mineral sunscreen on top to get a more perfected look without needing foundation.

Pros
The name itself suggests it's a soothing sunscreen, and it absorbs into the skin like an essence, without any oily residue! It contains blue agave, which is known as a 'moisture magnet', so it provides good hydration without any stickiness or heaviness. I'm glad there's no white cast or greasy feeling that's typical of sunscreens. The fragrance is quite mild. I personally don't mind it much, but if you're sensitive to scents, I'd recommend trying it out yourself. It's similar to a regular skin care product scent. My skin tends to get sensitive and easily irritated in the summer, but this sunscreen seems to be formulated with gentle, non-irritating ingredients. It apparently passed high-level skin irritation tests, and I actually felt a soothing effect when using it.
Cons
Over time, the oilier areas of my skin may show some shine, but that's unavoidable in the summer. I just carry some blotting papers to dab it away when needed.

Pros
(I have acne-prone, sensitive, and rosacea-prone skin.) Scent: The sunscreen has a refreshing floral scent. The fragrance is not too strong, so it's easy to use. Texture: The texture is like a moisturizing lotion. It's not at all sticky, and the formula spreads smoothly. Usage: This sunscreen has no oiliness but still feels moisturizing. It applies easily and absorbs quickly, which is great! The lightweight texture makes it easy to reapply over makeup. It's a non-whitening sunscreen.
Cons
The quick absorption means I tend to use it up faster, which could be considered a downside..

Pros
Scent: When sniffed, it has a faint, slightly sour and fresh grassy aroma that lingers gently. Spreadability: It applies very smoothly and absorbs quickly! There's no white cast, and your skin tone looks slightly brighter after application. It actually applies and absorbs even more softly than a lotion, and it's barely noticeable, so I was skeptical about its sun protection, but it's better than not using anything. Most importantly, since it's a gel, my skin feels instantly hydrated and cooled upon application, and it definitely has a soothing effect on my sensitive skin!! I've only tried it on my arms since my skin is so delicate, but there was no stinging or other irritation, and no redness or blemishes appeared.
Cons
The volume seems a bit ambiguous to me...When I apply it to my face and arms, it feels like it'll run out quickly, so having 100ml or 150ml versions would be great. The price-to-volume ratio doesn't seem very cost-effective either.
Tip
Of course, it's best to store and use it in a cool, shaded place away from direct sunlight. It works well if you apply it right after toner, following cleansing. Since the volume is small and the price is on the higher side, it's a good idea to keep an eye out for sales and stock up when there are discounts!

Pros
✨️Texture As the name 'Soothing' suggests, it applies very lightly and the feeling on the hands is not bad either! 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.
Cons
I 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!'
Tip
It'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.

Pros
The lotion-type formula was lightweight and easy to apply! It seems suitable for those with sensitive skin, atopic dermatitis, or allergies. While it may feel a bit sticky and heavy when applying, it absorbs quickly and leaves a light, fluffy finish, making it great for reapplying. The best part was that it didn't sting or irritate the eyes.
Cons
The scent is a bit strong, so those sensitive to fragrances may have mixed feelings about it. The lightweight application is great, but it takes a little time to fully absorb into the skin, so it may feel a bit sticky before that happens, though it becomes lightweight once absorbed.
Tip
The lightweight formula makes it great for reapplying sunscreen when the sun is strong, to protect the skin.

Pros
The scent is familiar, like a familiar cosmetic fragrance. The scent is not irritating and feels familiar, so there is no aversion to it. The texture is a slightly runny cream, so it applies smoothly and has good adhesion and absorption. It's good for skin types like mine that are sensitive to sunlight. At first, there is a slight stickiness and intense moisturization, but it absorbs quickly and there are no issues. I highly recommend it.
Cons
So far, I haven't felt any discomfort or problems. I have sensitive skin that is prone to breakouts, but there is no irritation at all.
Tip
I recommend applying it like a lotion and going out, especially for those who don't do skincare properly and apply makeup poorly.

Pros
Texture: 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!
