I've used watery sun serum formulas before, and they tend to accentuate flakiness and feel lightweight. However, this Hwahae product is lightweight yet adheres well, so it doesn't slide around even when applied over a moisturizer. It absorbs nicely and gives a healthy glow. There's a slight tone-up effect as well, so my skin looks naturally brighter without looking overly whitened, which can be tricky. It's not heavy, so I don't feel weighed down when wearing it. The high SPF also makes me feel well-protected when going outside. I've even applied it around my eyes without any stinging. With its great finish and multi-tasking abilities as both a sun protector and makeup primer, this Hwahae sun serum is a real beauty essential!
ConsThe capacity is slightly disappointing compared to the price, but it's good that the container needs to be changed frequently for hygiene purposes.

Once fully applied, the skin appears brightened by about half a tone, with a moisturized finish. There is little to no dry feeling when applied, and minimal eye irritation. Additionally, the SPF and PA ratings are excellent. This is a good product to use as a lightweight substitute for sunscreen.
ConsGiven my intelligence, I expected the product introduction to end smoothly like a product description. However, the ending was not as smooth as I had hoped, but rather a moist finish. And after some time, flakiness started to appear. The appearance of flakiness is a characteristic of applying a product with a dry formulation, but this serum finishes moistly while still exhibiting the trait of a dry product. Honestly, I'm not sure about the merits of this product. I was considering reviewing this product in comparison to the Se-ren makeup base I've been using well, but... this product hardly blurs pores, is a bit pricey, and has the disappointing trait of flakiness, so a comparative analysis would be difficult.
TipIt is recommended to thoroughly apply the basic skincare routine before using this product, as this will help prevent the formation of flaky skin later on. This product is essential for both exfoliation and basic skincare.

[Makeup] When applying makeup, "it does not smear." On the first day, I used it nervously (if it smears, I'd have to wash my face again๐) but fortunately, there was no smearing. It's slightly thicker than the sun milk, but it applies very thinly compared to regular sunscreen. I recommend this to those who have trouble applying sunscreen because it doesn't smear makeup. [Texture and Packaging] The texture flows slightly thicker than water, and the narrow nozzle makes it easy to control the amount. If the opening was wider, a large amount would have come out, making it difficult to control. (Photo attached) [Sunscreen Product] As we age, it's essential to use sunscreen products, I've heard. Of course, I'd use it without makeup, but I'm also considering using a thin layer even when I do wear makeup. It's much more affordable than the Shiseido Sun Milk, and the thin, non-smearing application is similar, so I'm thinking of switching to this. It's worth trying out.
ConsOf course, it applies thinly, but it is slightly thicker than the milk I used to use. It's not that important since the makeup doesn't smear, but it may smear for someone.
TipThis is how to use the pre-serum/pre-milk. You can easily apply it by squeezing it once on your forehead, and once on each cheek. This method was started because it was inconvenient, but it actually makes it easier to control the amount.

There is no white cast and it seems to be good for expressing skin radiance as well. The package is small but cute and pretty, so it seems good to carry in your bag and apply it regularly!
ConsYou have to shake it to use it, and I felt like it was a bit greasy. Because of this, my makeup doesn't smear, but I think it would be a bit difficult to use it on its own. As you can see in the photo, the white thing next to it is the oil, and it seems like you have to shake it a lot.
TipHwahae Trial Reviewers it thoroughly and use it!

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 a week on my combination skin, where the butterfly zone around my nose gets very flushed, especially in the winter. First of all, I prefer a light formula for sunscreen that feels like it's not really there, and this one lived up to its name - it's so airy that it doesn't feel heavy at all. And the best part was that even though it's lightweight, it doesn't leave my skin feeling too dry, so my makeup doesn't flake off. I can apply it right before doing my makeup and it doesn't pill. It's moisturizing, so my base makeup applies more smoothly. I think I'll continue using this going forward.
ConsIn the height of summer, oily skin may experience increased sebum production. Those who dislike oily skin can benefit from applying powder once in a while!
TipOriginally, I mixed the tone-up cream I was using before in a 1:1 ratio and applied it, and it was so nice!! It gives a moisturizing and tone-up effect.

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 was mainly using sunscreen. When I applied sunscreen before makeup, oil came up and if the base was not solid, it would slide off and be hard to apply. The Cosrx sun serum finished very fluffy when applied to the skin, and even when I layered foundation on top, it did not slide or clump. It applied smoothly and had a fluffy finish. The texture is like the one shown in the 4th photo - when squeezed, it flows out. It's a bit runny, so I found it more convenient to squeeze it directly onto my face and apply it that way.
ConsIt was disappointing to use and I do not recommend it. At first, I really liked how soft and fluffy it felt when I applied it, but after using the serum and applying foundation, the pores became more and more emphasized over time. The pores are so visible that they are blatantly apparent. > I do not recommend it due to the emphasis on pores.

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.ProsJust like the name 'Hwahae Serum', it has a lightweight and smooth application, making it great to use as the last step in your skincare routine. With a texture similar to a sun milk, it applies without leaving the skin feeling dry, so it's perfect to use even during the changing seasons. When the weather gets warmer, simply applying a light layer of lotion and the Hwahae Serum should be sufficient. It finishes off cleanly without feeling sticky or heavy, so your makeup won't slide around. It has a very faint citral scent, without the typical sunscreen odor.
ConsIf you want tone correction, it may be disappointing. Other than that, it applies lightly like a serum.
TipIn the oily-skinned summer, it seems convenient to apply lightly. In the current transitional season, it is necessary to moisturize the base and then apply the sun serum so as not to be dry.

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.ProsThis is a Hwahae sunscreen product. It has a light, watery texture without any stickiness. It evenly blends into the skin without any white cast, refining the skin tone and texture. There was no eye irritation or discomfort. I really liked the moisturizing application and the lightweight finish of this product. It didn't make my skin feel stuffy, which was great. It's good to apply before makeup. It absorbs quickly without any residue and doesn't pill, so it's great to use before makeup. It applies thinly on the skin and doesn't leave an oily finish, which I really liked. At first, there seems to be some oiliness, but once it's absorbed into the skin, it leaves a nicely refined skin finish. I've been really satisfied using this sunscreen product in the current weather.
ConsThe product is quite satisfactory, without any major drawbacks. However, it may feel a bit drying for those with extremely dry skin.
TipBefore use, shake well for 5-10 seconds. The formulation is quite thin, so it's best to apply it with a light touch.

Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.Prosโฅ๏ธ Formulation A serum-like formulation that needs to be well shaken and mixed. It applies like a true serum, and finishes with a soft, non-sticky texture. Prioritizing good application, it is highly recommended for those who dislike the sticky feeling of sunscreens. โฅ๏ธ Makeup Base There is no issue with makeup sliding off due to the sunscreen, and it even has a slight 'fixing' effect. It is recommended as a dual-purpose sunscreen and makeup base that does not cause lifting or breakdown. โฅ๏ธ Soft Finish One of the reasons people avoid serum-type sunscreens is that they can feel too oily, but this Cosrx product controls the oiliness to provide a soft finish. For dry skin, the effect may vary, but for oily or combination skin like mine, it seems to work well. Dry skin types may benefit from building a solid skincare base before application. โฅ๏ธ No White Cast There is no white cast! You can use it without worrying. โฅ๏ธ No Irritation I did not feel any irritation at all. Sunscreens can sometimes cause the skin to react immediately, but I experienced no such issues, and it felt like a gentle product.
ConsThe price-to-capacity ratio is somewhat burdensome, and due to the formulation characteristics, caution is required when using it to prevent leakage.
TipThe most important thing is to shake it well before use!! And it seems to be a must-have item, regardless of skin type, in the summer rather than winter.

The texture is very thin and spreads easily. When applied, it becomes slightly whitish, but not to the point of a milky appearance, and has a subtle glow. (Please refer to the photo) It is not sticky and feels smooth and powdery quickly. I applied a sun cushion on top, and it did not slide or lift, and lasted a long time. There was no dryness underneath.
ConsYou should shake it well before using. Otherwise, it will separate and come out.
TipYou can use just a little bit. If you apply too much, it takes time to absorb, so it's better to apply a little bit several times.
