As mentioned in the details, the sunscreen is powerful, giving a strong sense that UV rays are bouncing off (perhaps a placebo effect, haha). It really does feel like excellent protection!
Cons- There was a stinging sensation when I first applied it, but it became fine after a few applications. - There is quite a bit of white cast. I couldn't really tell the difference on my skin tone, but on my darker-skinned friend, it made her look really... white. Everyone burst out laughing. Those with darker skin tones should be cautious when purchasing this. ++++Additional review after one month of use I had to stop using it because my skin was too irritated. At first, I thought it was just because it was summer, so I tried switching between sunscreens, but whenever I used this one, I would have an irritated feeling right after, and then I would get a blemish or two the next day. :( It didn't work for me...
TipThe sunscreen function seems to work really well. The packaging is also pretty, so when I'm packing for a trip, I like to put it right at the front because it's so cute. Haha

Unlike some products that feel like a layer on top of the skin, this one had a nice adherent feel. Absorption: As a mineral sunscreen, it does have more of a 'laying on the skin' sensation rather than full absorption, but the inclusion of skincare ingredients seems to help it adhere well. Fragrance: Fragrance-free. I prefer fragrance-free products. Usability: The small opening prevents the product from gushing out, which is nice. Volume: The 50ml size is generous. Skin Feel: The oiliness didn't feel like it was building up over time. Some products feel matte initially but then get very oily later, but this one had a light, natural oil balance throughout wear. As a mineral sunscreen, it didn't feel as heavy or stuffy as some. No eye irritation. Other: There was no significant increase in blemishes. I usually get more breakouts with chemical sunscreens, but this mineral one was fine.
ConsWhite Cast: The white cast, a common issue with mineral sunscreens, was unavoidable. I had to apply it to my neck as well because my face looked too pale on its own. Removal: It doesn't remove easily. I used cleansing oil followed by a mildly alkaline foam cleanser, but I still felt like I needed to double cleanse to get it all off. The over-cleansing left my skin feeling irritated during my skincare routine afterwards.
TipI applied it in a thin layer and buffed it in with a makeup sponge, and it looked great - not oily in the T-zone at all. Even without makeup, it provided a nice subtle glow and blurred the appearance of my pores.

With organic sunscreens, there is always a concern about absorption, but as long as you cleanse thoroughly, it seems even better. The texture is easy to squeeze out and apply, with a smooth, gliding application. Right after application, it may look a bit white due to the mineral base, but it blends in naturally very quickly. Even my mother, who dislikes heavy and sticky products, said it was not bad because it felt light and non-sticky!
ConsMy mom has sensitive skin, and she said it stung a little when she first applied it, for the first 2-3 days. Compared to regular mineral sunscreens, the application is quite good. However, I think it would work even better if you have a solid skincare base before applying it. The package design with the zipper pattern and vibrant colors is indeed hip and pretty, and the English labeling is readable, but... even though it's not an imported product, I wonder why they felt the need to have everything in English.
TipI think it's best to apply a solid skincare base before the sunscreen. I applied an essence primer first, then this product, and finished with a cushion foundation.

Even after an hour or two of putting on makeup, oil comes up in the T-zone area and my skin becomes extremely sensitive! I applied this sunscreen in the morning and followed the same routine, and until lunchtime, there was hardly any oil... I'm so happy! And once the oil starts coming up, when I do touch-up makeup, the skin just keeps getting dirtier and the uncontrolled oil coexists, but this one doesn't bring up much oil at all, and even after patting it down, it lasts a long time. My face doesn't get shiny and greasy, so I don't have to worry about my skin as much, and I'm so happy! The texture when applying is not heavy or thick, and if you just swipe it on and pat it down, it spreads evenly all over! And!! Last year I used a matte sunscreen that I liked, but this year when I used it, my skin barrier just completely collapsed, to the point where I had to take steroid medication from the dermatologist, but this one didn't make my skin flip out. At first when I applied it I was really worried, but luckily it's all good now, this is a strong summer recommendation 👍🏻
ConsMaybe because my skin is too sensitive, there was a slight stinging? burning? feeling when I first applied it. There seems to be a bit of irritation, but it doesn't make my skin flip out. However, if you're even more sensitive than me, you might want to be careful.

When I squeezed it onto the back of my hand, the texture looked thick, but when I applied it to my face and hands, it spread on smoothly. After application, there was no stickiness, and it felt soft and fluffy, without a floating sensation or whitening of the skin tone.
ConsWhen I first applied it to my face, I felt a stinging sensation! But a few days later, when I tried it again, it was fine. However, if you have sensitive skin, it's best to do a small patch test before using it.
TipRight after application, I didn't feel any dryness, but over time, I did start to feel some dryness, as well as some caking and flaking of my makeup. As someone with dry skin, I think it would be better to use this product after thoroughly moisturizing your skin.
