There was no white cast or eye irritation, and the overall usage experience was quite pleasant.
ConsIt is too greasy... Due to the nature of the serum, it may not be possible to finish with a powdery texture, but even so, it is so greasy that powder does not absorb.

With the thought of 'Collagen in sunscreen?!', I applied for it with anticipation. 🌳 Moist and hydration-packed formula The Round Lab Camellia Deep Collagen Pre-Serum was not named a sunscreen for a reason. It applies very smoothly, just like a serum. With a thinner consistency than a moisturizer, it's a very watery formula somewhere between a serum and a moisturizer. Immediately after application, it feels very hydrating and refreshing on the skin. But unlike a typical hydrating serum, it also leaves a slightly oily feel over time. For me, in the slightly chilly early spring weather, the moisturizing yet non-drying effect was satisfying. Dry skin types can use it year-round, combination skin types in cold and dry seasons, and oily skin types in winter. 🌳 Soft and hydrating application, no white cast The application is smooth and hydrating, like a serum. It's the most lightweight and effortless application I've experienced in a sunscreen product. And unlike mineral sunscreens with a white cast, you can apply the proper amount without turning your face ghostly white. I was able to apply a generous layer without any issues. 🌳 Decent ingredients for a chemical sunscreen Compared to other chemical sunscreen products, the ingredients are relatively decent. They're not all completely gentle, but not too bad either. 🌳 Fragrance-free and comfortable on the nose Sunscreens require generous application all over the face, so fragrance is an important factor. This product is fragrance-free, so applying a lot doesn't feel overwhelming or irritating. 🌳 Attractive product designThe package is so pretty with the combination of white and soothing pink colors. The twist-open cap has a transparent, camellia-like color that matches the name. It maintains the familiar Round Lab design while having a distinctive look. However, the design does seem to be targeted more towards female consumers. It might feel a bit overwhelming for male users. 🌳 Achieves a radiant skin look The hydrating and slightly oily formula gives a dewy, healthy-looking skin appearance with a natural glow. However, it could potentially look too oily if over-applied. If you're looking for a makeup-free look, the lack of a tinting function might be disappointing, but it would be a great sunscreen base for layering makeup. 🌳 Easy to control the application amount The product dispenser is longer and narrower than typical sunscreens, making it easier to control the amount applied. This is helpful since the watery formula can be prone to running, but the narrow opening allows for precise application. ❔ The claimed collagen-boosting benefits and cooling sensation might require more long-term use to fully evaluate.
ConsThe cost-effectiveness is not great. Currently, it is sold for 19,900 won per 50ml on the Hwahae shopping standard. As it is a pre-serum, it tends to be used more generously compared to sunscreen, so the cost-effectiveness is disappointing.
TipWhen Hwahae is applied incorrectly, the formulation is so thin that it may flow or splash, so be careful when applying it.

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 skin type is combination and sensitive. The U-zone is close to dry, and the T-zone is oily. The application is very smooth and soft. I highly recommend it to those who disliked the thick and sticky feel of mineral sunscreens, as it applies much more smoothly than the moisturizer I usually use. It absorbs quickly and leaves a moisturized finish. Sometimes after applying other sunscreens, there is a stuffy and heavy feeling, but this product glides on smoothly and finishes comfortably. It is also very moisturizing. My skin felt more hydrated than just using a basic moisturizer, making my skin feel soothed. It's great for dry skin and could become a holy grail product. However, there is some oiliness, so those with oily skin may not be as satisfied. There is no white cast, and it works well under makeup. The light pink color does not provide any noticeable tone-up effect. But the hydrating finish allows makeup to apply smoothly without caking. If you prefer a dewy, glowing skin look rather than a matte finish, this would be a very satisfactory product. The smooth application also makes it suitable as a body sunscreen. The lack of white cast allows it to be applied easily like a regular body cream. This is a chemical sunscreen, so it contains some moderately hazardous UV filter ingredients, but overall the ingredient profile is decent for a sunscreen product. It is also fragrance-free.This product is fragrance-free. There is no artificial fragrance smell, and the natural scent of the ingredients is also barely noticeable. When applying it to the face, there is no detectable smell at all. I had to really stick my nose in to try to detect a very faint scent of the ingredients, but even as someone sensitive to fragrances, I could barely perceive it.
ConsThe product is moisturizing, but it also has a slightly oily and sticky feel. The oiliness causes it to leave a greasy residue, and there is a sticky sensation as well. For my dry skin at the moment, the product looks and feels fine, but as the weather gets warmer and more humid, it may start to feel even more oily. Those with oily skin types may find the oiliness particularly unpleasant. Over time, there is a slightly irritating sensation around the eyes. I deliberately applied the product near my eyes to check for any irritation, and at first there was no stinging or irritation at all. However, after a few hours, the oily components seem to have seeped into my eyes, causing a mildly irritating sensation. While not as severe as some products that immediately cause stinging and require wiping off and using eye drops, this product does not appear to be completely non-irritating around the eye area. The price of 19,900 won for a 50ml size is not particularly inexpensive.
TipThis product applies well under makeup, leaving your skin feeling moisturized! However, for oily skin types, it may cause excess oiliness, so please be cautious.

I feel good about finding a product that absorbs quickly and is great to apply before makeup. The makeup really adheres well - it only takes a couple rolls to get it to seamlessly blend into the skin!
ConsI thought that since I have an oily complexion, it might be a bit greasy for me to use in the summer! It seems like it would suit dry skin types better.
TipHwahae before use, skin expression 👍👍

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 skin type - the T-zone is oily, the U-zone is dry, making it a sensitive combination skin. The inorganic sunscreen feels dry even in the summer, while the organic sunscreen causes skin irritation and eye discomfort, so a hybrid sunscreen is a compromise. The formula is really thin, so it drips down while applying on the back of the hand. It feels more like an essence than a lotion, but the application is good without any white cast. The best part is that there is no eye irritation, which was a major issue with the organic sunscreen where it would get into the eyelashes and bother the eyes. This one doesn't have that problem, which is great. Even with organic sunscreens, there are sometimes cases of dryness or pilling after half a day, but this one doesn't have that issue, so the overall usage experience is satisfactory and doesn't feel like a typical sunscreen.
ConsAfter applying, it feels sticky. For those with long hair, it may be fine to tie it up, but I have short bangs, so my hair gets extremely stuck and it's uncomfortable. Also, my face gets a bit itchy in between. At first, I thought it was because the hair was touching, but even when I tied my hair, it still happened, so it seems to be due to the product... I'll keep using it for now, and if the irritation continues, I think I'll have to stop using it. The oil really comes up a lot - not just in the T-zone, but even in the oily areas... So it's suitable for light use in the winter, but I don't think I'll be able to use it in the summer.

The unique scent of the pre-product is very subtle. There is no strongly unpleasant fragrance. There is little stickiness after application, which I like. After applying, the skin feels plump and firm. Even after applying the pre-serum, makeup does not slide off.
ConsIf you don't finish with a powder that meets the oil-control and matte criteria, the oil will rise up quickly. On my skin, there is a slight unpleasant Hwahae right after application (but no breakouts occur).

I'll compare it to the Hwahae deep collagen elastic sun serum. The formula difference: The Roundlab product is a moisturizing sunscreen, while the Hwahae is a sun serum. The Roundlab has a cream-like texture with an oily, heavy feel, but the Hwahae is more lightweight and watery. This means the Hwahae feels more hydrating and serum-like, so it's better to apply in a thin, even layer rather than using a lot at once. Makeup compatibility: The Roundlab sunscreen can sometimes pill or flake under makeup, especially around the nose and pores. But the Hwahae serum seems to blend in better and doesn't cause as much patchiness with foundation. The cream texture of the Roundlab makes it harder to spread evenly, while the lightweight serum of the Hwahae adheres well to the skin. Usage experience: The Roundlab has hydrating properties, but the Hwahae serum-like texture feels more nourishing and glowy on the skin. For dry/dehydrated skin types, especially in the colder seasons, the Hwahae is great at keeping skin moisturized without dryness. It would be a good everyday option for light wear, and I'd recommend it for dry, sensitive skin that struggles with thick, mineral sunscreens.
ConsThis sunscreen leaves a slightly sticky feeling on the skin after application, as if a serum has been applied. Therefore, when used alone, it may appear shiny, and when used with a cushion and powder, the stickiness may not blend well with the powder. When applied lightly with a brush, it tends to clump and become thick, so it is recommended to not apply powder too heavily after makeup. (If you do, just a very light dusting to absorb the oil.) Therefore, it seems more suitable for light outings rather than full makeup. The cooling effect on the skin surface is claimed, but I'm not sure about it. The temperature may show a lower reading, but the noticeable effect is not significant. Improvements in pore size and anti-aging effects are not yet visible. It seems one needs to use it consistently for a long time to see the results.
TipIt seems suitable for dry/oily skin during seasonal changes! A light cushion foundation is a good combination for makeup

It spread easily and was especially moisturizing, so it didn't feel dry even when the heater was on. I usually use an inorganic chemical sunscreen and have to double cleanse, but with the Hwahae serum, single cleansing is enough, so I'm very satisfied with it.
ConsThis product is recommended for use during the winter or dry autumn weather rather than summer, as it has a somewhat oily texture. I did not experience any breakouts after applying it.

Good moisturizing This sunscreen has a lot of moisture and oil. It's a great base sunscreen for those with very dry skin! 2. Ingredients According to the Hwahae app, this is a very good sunscreen in terms of ingredients. 4. Packaging The pointed tip makes it very convenient to control the amount. 5. Texture As the name suggests, it has a very watery, serum-like texture with good spreadability.
Cons1. Stickiness The product has a lot of oiliness, so it feels sticky for a long time after application. Using powder helps reduce the stickiness. 2. Oiliness The product has a lot of oiliness, so it may feel a bit heavy if your skin is not very dry. 3. Breakouts In my case, I sometimes get itchiness or pimples with mineral sunscreens, and this sunscreen caused that for me as well.. ㅠ
TipI recommend applying oil-free cosmetics and just using this sunscreen.

As the name 'sun serum' suggests, it has excellent spreadability and applies well over foundation or cushion without any caking or sliding. I was worried it might make my skin look reddish due to the pink tone, but that's not the case at all.
ConsThere is not much, but a slight oiliness can be felt. I'm not sure how it would be in the summer.
