ConsI was unable to write a review within the given period due to the unsatisfactory user experience. The separation in the formula did not blend well even with moderate shaking. At first, I thought the dispensed formula had gone bad. The previous serum had a distinctive silver sheen and white cloudiness. There was no primer-like feel. The sunscreen left a dry, powdery residue on the fingertips. Personally, this sunscreen product did not suit my preferences.

I loved it so much. I think it will be even better in the summer, and when I use this and apply the cushion, it seems to absorb even better.
ConsThere are no shortcomings, but be sure to shake it well before use. It is a product that needs to be shaken before use.

I applied it immediately after dispensing it onto my fingertips, but if you find it difficult to control, you can also try dropping it directly onto your cheeks. ๐ Usage Experience When applied, it feels like a lightweight oil is slightly mixed in, but it's not sticky at all, more like a milky lotion. It becomes soft and powdery very quickly. In fact, I feel good while applying it. For extremely dry skin types, you may need to layer it with additional moisture, but for others, this could be a holy grail product...? It doesn't make the skin feel parched and powdery, but leaves just the right amount of light oiliness, making it feel soft and supple ๐๐๐ Sun protection is my top priority, so I've tried many rich sunscreens, but I'm seriously considering making this my go-to. And since it also blocks blue light, I was about to pop my eyes out! And I always wear contact lenses, I didn't even do any additional makeup testing, just applied the sun serum, and there was no eye irritation at all. Good job! ๐ Pros Somehow, everyone has been raving about this Hwahae sun serum... I now understand why the initial marketing claim was about 'makeup that doesn't crease', compared to other sun products. In my line of work, I'm outdoors all day, and this provides great sun protection, with the right balance of moisture and oil, and as a combination skin type, it didn't feel too dry or cakey, even in very windy conditions. It doesn't apply thickly, stays powdery, and doesn't pill my foundation... When I dab concealer all over my cheeks, it looks much thinner compared to other sunscreens. It's so good...... It almost makes my skin look better ํํ And since it's Reef Friendly certified, I can use it without worrying about coral reefs ๐๐ซฐ I've tried various Cosrx products like toners, etc., and none of them have felt heavy, sticky, or suffocating, or mismatched for makeup. And most seem to be very gentle. Overall, they all have a refreshing feel, and I gain more trust in the brand with each use. This is from my experience as a trial reviewer.There are also products that I have repurchased and continue to use. Since the brand has quite a few products with panthenol, this sun serum also seems to be packed with trehalose for deep hydration. To be honest, I've been using a very famous brand's D company sunscreen for a long time, but at least for makeup application, I'm going to switch to this one. Thank you for making such a great product ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ There aren't many good Hwahae-approved sun products out there... I'll be sure to use this well while at work ใ ใ ใ ใ
ConsWhile there may be some who find the water-based formula difficult to handle, this applies lightly while providing moisture and a soft, powdery finish. There's no need to worry about makeup smearing, especially in the summer!!! I really like this product... I'm not sure what else I could want, but... The packaging? But since it needs to be shaken before use, a tube wouldn't work either. I'm satisfied with it. ๐๐
TipExtremely dry individuals may lack a bit of sebum, so please layer toner multiple times and be sure to well hydrate!

Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsAccording to the name 'Airy Sun Serum', it really has a very light texture and finish! The fluid-like formula glides on smoothly and absorbs quickly, with an application similar to using a skincare ampoule. It feels lightweight without the heavy, stuffy sensation typical of sunscreens. Normally, when I apply sunscreen and then foundation, the oiliness causes the makeup to clump and break down more easily (which is why I often skip sunscreen..;) But this product seems to help refine the skin's texture, almost like a primer. After applying, in about 30 seconds, the skin is left with a soft, satin-like finish with a subtle glow. Applying foundation on top of this creates a really beautiful complexion.๐
ConsAt first, I didn't know I had to shake it before using it, so I just used it and was surprised to see separation, but it turned out to be a product that needs to be shaken before use.

As time passes, it adheres to the skin, and the initial oiliness disappears, becoming slightly dry.
ConsIt seems too oily.. I think it might be difficult if you're not used to the oily feel.. it seems that way.
TipI don't think I can apply it to my face, but I'm applying it to my neck occasionally! And if this is not shaken and squeezed, the liquid inside will separate and come out. Be sure to shake it before use!

Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsI have sensitive and trouble-prone skin with severe moisture deficiency. My skin is oily, so even in the winter, I have to use gel creams or mix a medicinal barrier cream into my moisturizer. If there are problematic ingredients in a product, I can easily detect skin issues after using it in the evening after cleansing. Fortunately, no such problems were found with the product I'm using. The ingredients passed the test. Previously, I used a sun cream with a tone-up function (Huxley Apricot Sun Cream), but after switching to a different one, I found that my skin looks nicer when applying concealer and foundation afterwards. The new sun cream is more moisturizing and oily, making it easier to apply makeup on top. It's like a modified version of the Shu Uemura UV Base that I love to buy when I visit Japan - it adds more hydration without leaving a heavy residue on the face. I think those who enjoyed the Shu Uemura product will find this one a great match as well.
ConsFrankly, the skin feel of using it is too greasy for my liking... I cannot say it is 'airy'... It is a sun serum, but the absorption is much worse than mineral sunscreen products. My usual way of applying sunscreen is to use it after a skincare routine (3-step toner, ampoule, moisturizing essence, and a light lotion), allowing 2-3 minutes for absorption, then lightly spreading the sunscreen on my face, letting it dry for 30 seconds, and patting it in. However, with this product, even after 8 minutes, it still sits on my face like, "What are you doing?!" and I have to vigorously pat it with a cushion puff to make it absorb...(it's so annoying) The overall skin feel also has this peculiar lukewarm, oily sensation. According to the product description, I'm the type who only needs minimal oil, but this was too much for me. (I even gave the Chanel base I mentioned earlier to an oily-skinned friend..^___^) For normal skin, it might provide a nice moisturizing, slightly oily sensation, and for dry skin, it might create a comfortable, moisturizing film, but it just didn't work well for me. ใ ใ By my standards, it's difficult to use in my busy daily life. It would be fine to use when I have more time, like for a full makeup look for an appointment. As I mentioned before, the post-application process is satisfactory.
TipApply the usual basic routine as usual. After spreading it evenly over the face, use a cushion puff to gently pat it in. Concealer, come to me, my friend! It will become one with the skin. This is recommended for normal to dry skin. There are no issues with the ingredients, so it should also be fine for troubled skin. For those who don't suit the oily moisturizing power of oily xxxxxxx creams, xxxxxxx

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsI've been using it for about a week. It was good that there was no feeling of heaviness on the skin after applying it as the finishing touch to a nourishing skincare routine. It feels like applying a thin, lightweight coating. Since it's airy, there's no coverage or color correction, but I'm curious about the tone-up version! I think it will be perfect when the weather gets hotter and sweatier, and the liquid type that you shake is great for easily applying it to larger areas like the neck, shoulders, and limbs, so it would be good for summer too! I used the shaking type a lot when Japanese cosmetics were popular, so I'm used to it, and a few shakes give enough for the face and neck, which is also good. The liquid type also has the advantage of not feeling sticky.
ConsAs the weather turned dry and hazy in March, I applied a product in the morning before going out. By the afternoon, the skin around my lips and cheeks had become dry and cracked, which was disappointing. I will need to apply a cream-type product to the T-zone area.
TipIn the afternoon, before going to bed, I reapplied it and sprayed an oily mist, and it was fine!

Although I heard it was light, I felt it was like an oily pre-serum. The formula is watery, so you need to shake it well and apply it! It spreads on very easily and lightly. My sister, who has a normal skin type, said it was good because it felt light.
ConsI'm a bit clumsy, so my skin seems to be dry and tight. And because of excessive oil or ingredients, my skin has become irritated. I also don't really know what that feeling of makeup adhering well to the skin is like. Just applying a serum and powder didn't work well, as the oil and makeup would clump together. When I put on makeup, it felt like the makeup was just sitting on top of my skin rather than blending in well.
TipHmm, I apply toner and moisturizer, and when I put on sunscreen, this product seems to adhere better to my skin if I skip the cream step!

After using it, it really feels light and fluffy. I apply the basic skincare, then finish with serum > cushion. After applying, the refreshing feeling is so nice - there's no sticky, tacky sensation typical of sun protection products at all.
Consi have not yet found any shortcomings. i will try it out more and write it down.
TipBefore use, you must!! shake it well to use it. Sometimes when you just apply it, you can feel the difference the moment it comes out.

Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThe overall review is: It is applied smoothly and evenly, and I am completely satisfied with the moisturizing effect. Moisturizing: Lately, I've been constantly turning on the heater in the office, so my face was cracking and drying up by the time I got off work, but I'm completely satisfied because it's so moisturizing. Formulation: As the name 'airy' suggests, the sun serum is thinner than a regular sun cream at first, but it applies smoothly and evenly. Tone-up effect: After applying it, there is a natural tone-up effect.
ConsAt first, I didn't shake it and applied it to the back of my hand, and then the water and the white substance separated and came out. I was really surprised, but there was a bead inside, and it comes out well when shaken. My skin is quite sensitive, but there were no blemishes or sensitive areas.
