The Texture: It's a sun serum that needs to be shaken before use, so it flows like water. I applied it quickly with my fingers right after dispensing, but if you find it tricky to control, you might prefer dotting it on your cheeks before spreading. The Feel: When applying, it feels like a milky emulsion with a hint of very light oil, but it's not sticky. It becomes velvety smooth quickly. Applying it just feels good somehow. Those with extremely dry skin might need to layer hydration underneath, but for others, this could be your holy grail...? It doesn't dry out your skin, but leaves just the right amount of thin moisture and makes your skin feel super soft. I've always prioritized sun protection and have tried many richer sunscreens, but I'm seriously considering settling on this one, no joke.... I nearly fell out of my chair when I learned it also blocks blue light! I always wear contact lenses, and as a test, I wore only this sun serum without any other makeup, and experienced no eye irritation. Great stuff! The Pros: No wonder everyone's calling it the Hwahae-approved sun serum.... I understand why their first promotional claim was 'makeup that doesn't break down'. I work outdoors all day, and this provides good sun protection, balanced hydration, and even though I have combination skin... even in windy conditions, it neither dried out my skin nor made it feel greasy. It doesn't apply thickly, feels velvety, and doesn't cause foundation to pill... Even when I pat concealer all over my cheeks, it looks thinner than with other sunscreens. It's so good... It kind of... makes my skin look better. Plus, it's certified reef-friendly, so I can use it without worrying about coral reefs. I've tried various Cosrx lines including their toner, and none of their products feel heavy, sticky, suffocating, or incompatible with makeup...? They all seem to be very gentle products. Overall, they all have a fresh feel. I gain more trust in them with each use. I've even repurchased some products after trying them as a tester. They have quite a few products with panthenol, and this sun serum is packed with trehalose for intense hydration. Honestly, I've been using a famous D brand sunscreen for a very long time, but I'm switching to this for makeup days at least. Thank you for creating such a great product! There aren't many Hwahae-approved sun products that are matte but moisturizing.... I'll be using this well while working!
ConsSome might find the watery texture difficult to handle, but it applies so lightly, locks in moisture, feels velvety, doesn't cause makeup to pill, and seems especially great for summer! I really like this.... I'm not sure what else I could find fault with, but maybe... the packaging? But given that it needs to be shaken before use, a tube wouldn't work either, so I'm satisfied!
TipFor those with extremely dry skin, the oil content might be a bit lacking, so make sure to layer your toner multiple times and keep your skin well-hydrated!

Those with oily skin will appreciate the texture. It applies smoothly and leaves a powdery finish. No white cast. I'm not a fan of sunscreens that leave a white cast, so I was pleased that this one applies transparently. Gentle on the skin. It applies well without causing any irritation!
ConsNot recommended for dry skin types. I have combination skin, and noticed some flaking around my dry areas like the chin and sides of the nose when applying makeup. Avoid if you're sensitive to scents. It has a strong, distinct cosmetic smell. I'm not sensitive to fragrances so I can use it, but if you are, I recommend testing it before purchasing.
TipRemember to shake well before use and apply a thin layer.

ConsMake sure to shake it well before using it for the first time!
TipThis sunscreen is so hydrating that you can use it before makeup and it helps your makeup apply beautifully. It's also great for everyday use without any issues, so I'll probably repurchase it!

I usually avoid sun care products because I dislike the greasy feeling, but this one absorbs rapidly and leaves a powdery finish that feels fresh and comfortable. Moreover, the ingredients seem to be gentle, as it suits my sensitive skin without causing any irritation.
ConsWhile I appreciate the powdery finish, perhaps due to the cold weather, when I applied a matte base over it, I noticed some dead skin cells flaking. This might be because my skin tends to flake easily, but I think this product works better when used on its own.

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.ProsMy skin type: 20s, combination dehydrated skin -Texture The formula is like flowing water, making it easy and quick to apply. It feels moisturizing during application, but the finish is matte. I think this is due to the combination of the moisturizing feel of organic UV filters and the powdery texture typical of inorganic filters. -White cast It's barely noticeable. It's so invisible that even those who dislike white cast can use it without worry. -Scent It doesn't have a strong fragrance, just a typical cosmetic smell. It's mild enough to apply without much concern. -After cleansing Like most sunscreens, it doesn't completely come off with foam cleansing alone. It removes easily in one go with cleansing oil, gel, or milk. -This seems like a great product to use when going out with just sunscreen and no makeup.
ConsWhen I applied makeup over the sunscreen, it felt like the makeup went on smoothly. However, when I got home after work and looked in the mirror, my makeup had broken down quite badly. It's definitely not an issue with the foundation. Using the same products as usual with only the sunscreen being different, the makeup breakdown was very noticeable.

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.ProsWhen I apply this after my skincare routine and before makeup, it definitely reduces patchiness and seems to fill in pores for a smoother look. It's seriously as good as a primer - makeup adheres so well! It also helps with dead skin cells and reduces creasing. While there's a slight richness left on the skin, it feels soft and I love that there's absolutely no irritation. The scent is like a mix of sunscreen and citrus - nothing off-putting. Best of all, it doesn't leave a white cast, which can really affect how your complexion looks with makeup.
ConsThe texture is quite runny, making it tricky to control the amount. Having to shake it is a bit of a hassle. You'll need to apply this over well-moisturized skin - it feels hydrating at first but doesn't seem to lock in moisture. After a while, I noticed some oil coming through.
TipIts lightweight formula might feel a bit drying for those with super sensitive skin, so make sure to layer your skincare products thoroughly before applying!

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.ProsI used this product for a week from March 14th to 21st. First off, being a sun serum, it had a very fluid, water-like texture. Due to this consistency, I loved how it adhered thinly to the skin and absorbed quickly. After applying an appropriate amount and gently patting it in, my skin surface quickly felt smooth and refined. What I'd like to praise most is that when I applied additional makeup or base products afterward, there was no pilling or dryness, or any other unwanted side effects.
ConsThe most disappointing aspect was that it didn't feel like it was locking in hydration. Instead, I couldn't shake the feeling that it was just controlling the oil from the moisturizer I had applied in the previous skincare step. Rather than the commonly desired effect of 'matte on the outside, hydrated on the inside', it felt matte on the surface but heavy and greasy underneath, which I found a bit uncomfortable. This sensation might have been more pronounced because I use a highly hydrating cream. While I'm not sure, I think this product might be more suitable for those with dry skin rather than oily skin types.

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.ProsFirst off, I love that this sunscreen doesn't contain stearic acid! The sleek design and compact size make it perfect for on-the-go use. The formula has an almost water-like consistency that glides on smoothly and absorbs well into the skin. Initially, there might be a slight white cast, but once it's fully absorbed, it's barely noticeable. True to its name, it has an airy feel and leaves a soft, matte finish, making it ideal for those with oily skin. However, I think it might be a bit drying for those with dry skin.
ConsYou really need to shake this product thoroughly before use! When I squeezed it out after just a few shakes, the formula came out separated. Make sure to give it a good, long shake before applying!
TipWith its high SPF and clean feel, this sunscreen seems perfect for humid summer days.

True to its name as a sun serum, it's lightweight and feels velvety smooth. It's not heavy, suffocating, or dull at all. With its serum-like texture, it applies naturally even when you slather it on. It absorbs quickly, and after it dries, it leaves a lovely emulsion-like finish - perfect! It provides just the right amount of brightening effect without looking patchy or uneven. The subtle, shimmering glow makes you look naturally beautiful!
ConsWhile the container is pretty, I strongly prefer pump-type packaging. If you don't shake it to mix, it separates into watery and oily parts that just run out.
TipDon't be alarmed! Make sure to close the lid. Shake it well to mix thoroughly! Always remember to shake before use! By the way, this product was developed by makeup artist Sang Eun - need I say more?

There's a reason it's called a sun serum, not a sunscreen! Make sure to shake it well before use... If you don't, you might think, 'Huh? What's this?' After a good shake, it applies moistly and then absorbs completely, leaving your skin feeling soft and dry. Finish: Initially, it feels moisturizing. Some might find it slightly rich. After application, wait about 30 seconds before applying makeup, and it sets to a soft, dry finish. As someone with slightly dry skin who hates oiliness, I loved the matte finish! However, if you have typically dry skin, I'd recommend using this in summer or ensuring you moisturize well! White cast/Brightening: There's a slight white cast, giving a subtle brightening effect. It's not very noticeable though, and doesn't transfer, so it wasn't a concern for me. Gentleness: I was worried about blemishes due to the powdery texture (which is probably why you need to shake it), but I didn't experience any skin issues in two weeks of use. It seemed quite gentle, even during a sensitive skin period. Makeup base: As someone with dry skin who needs a moisturizing sunscreen for makeup to apply well, this wasn't ideal for me as a makeup base. However, this might be different for those with oily skin! I actually liked using it alone for its matte finish and skin-perfecting effect. I discovered a great tip - apply it to your nose and T-zone (oily areas) before makeup! I used to just let my skin get oily because Cezanne didn't work for me, but applying a moisturizing sunscreen elsewhere and this sun serum on my nose and T-zone definitely reduced oiliness. I'll definitely repurchase this!
ConsThe main drawback might be... the amount? I was surprised by how small it was. However, given that sun care products have a short shelf life, a smaller size isn't necessarily a bad thing! Also, those with dry skin might find it drying if they don't have a solid skincare routine underneath. But even dry skin types should find it great for summer use.
TipMake sure to shake well before use as instructed. Try applying it to your nose and T-zone (oily areas) before makeup! For dry skin, use a moisturizing sunscreen on other areas and the Cosnori Airy Sun Serum just on your nose and T-zone. For oily skin, you might prefer using the sun serum all over.
