Pros

It absorbs well without feeling dry. The pump dispenser seems more hygienic.

Cons

My skin stings within seconds of application. I thought it might be my skin condition the first day, but it consistently caused irritation and itching on subsequent uses. It's more rich than hydrating, leading to excess oil production and severe foundation darkening. I was shocked to see how dark my face looked after lunch. It also severely irritates my eyes. I usually apply sunscreen on my eyelids, but with this one, my eyes water and sting even without applying it there. The fragrance, while not unpleasant, is overwhelmingly strong.

Pros

Somehow I ended up buying this in summer and using it in winter. - Incredibly lightweight for a sun serum. - Almost no tightening sensation typical of sun serums and essences. - Might be suitable for all seasons, except for those with dry skin.

Cons

- Can't really tell about the cooling effect. - Poor accessibility. I remember the purchasing process being particularly annoying. (Was guest checkout available?) - Slight stinging in the eyes. It's not severe, but definitely noticeable. - Unless it's on sale, I probably wouldn't buy it again without hesitation.

Tip

Suitable as a summer sunscreen.

Pros

It's so terrible that I'm struggling to find anything positive to say... Definitely a top contender for the 'Most Regrettable Purchase of 2024' award.

Cons

- Caused small bumps to appear on my skin - Even when used in summer, it left my skin feeling deeply dehydrated - It pills badly. If you try to apply makeup over it, it comes off in clumps like dirt - Most critically, the sun protection seems ineffective. Does it wear off too quickly? With other sunscreens, I never had this issue, but with this one, I got terribly sunburned

Pros

Well... there's not much to praise. The texture is interesting? The scent isn't bad. That's about it.

Cons

This makes all my foundation pill. I thought maybe it was because I was pushing too hard, so I tried patting it in gently, but then it started to clump. My friend said it was good, so I had high hopes... but I probably won't use this except when I'm wearing it alone. And the worst part? After applying, my hands feel incredibly greasy. It's so oily you wouldn't believe it, and it doesn't absorb well at all. When using this, you absolutely must wipe your hands with a tissue. I'd never use this before going to work.

Pros

It creates a luminous complexion by forming a protective oil layer... However, the drawbacks are quite significant.

Cons

I have really non-sensitive skin, but it stung immediately upon application and my skin broke out after a few days.

Pros

It's moisturizing and doesn't have that typical heavy sunscreen feel. The fragrance is pleasant.

Cons

I expected it to feel light, but the finish isn't as fresh as I hoped. Those with combination to oily skin might find it a bit greasy. The biggest disappointment is that when I apply cushion foundation over this, it pills like crazy. I don't even use many base products - just a moisturizer and this sun serum - but it still pills. I've tried it for a few days, and it happens every time. I won't be repurchasing.

Pros

1. Super hydrating sun serum True to its name as a sun serum, the hydration is no joke You can feel your face becoming moisturized after application 2. Less irritation Sun protection products can inevitably irritate the skin, but I felt this one was truly non-irritating. I have sensitive cheeks, and it's good even when applied during sensitive times 3. No pilling with makeup For women, whether or not sun care products pill under makeup is crucial, and this one doesn't pill or separate at all. It just feels like applying serum before makeup! Satisfying Overall satisfaction! I keep reapplying sunscreen, and even after makeup, this doesn't pill. Even if I apply more sunscreen after this sun serum, there's no skin irritation!

Cons

1. Feels a bit surface-level over time It doesn't feel like it adheres closely like skincare, more like it's creating a layer on top This is somewhat unavoidable with sun care products... 2. Oiliness I have dry skin, but when I only applied this, it became a bit oily over time Maybe because my skincare routine was too simple (just toner and essence) and the oil-moisture balance was off, but after about 5 hours it became a little shiny

Pros

- Moisturizing application and hydrating feel True to its name as a sun serum, it glides on smoothly and feels incredibly hydrating. The unique formulation is intriguing - tiny beads inside disperse as they come out of the nozzle, creating a soft, pillowy texture. - Excellent adherence It doesn't sit on top of the skin but absorbs quickly, leaving a silky smooth film. I use this on days when I want my makeup to look flawless.

Cons

- Eye irritation and skin sensitivity I experience slight eye irritation, but what's more bothersome is the skin irritation. Despite having dry skin that's not typically sensitive, this product causes a stinging sensation when applied alone. It's unusual for me, so I'm unsure whether to continue use. I bought four at once, but I'll likely only use one and leave the rest. Fortunately, there are plenty of other Hwahae-approved sunscreens that are both moisturizing and gentle on the skin.
