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!

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. ㅠㅠ 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

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!

ConsAccording to the instructions, I shook it enough, but it's still too runny and oily 😢 It was originally a flowing formula, but it was too runny and inconvenient for me.. I usually love Hwahae products, so I had high expectations, but this product was disappointing 🥲
TipBefore use, I strongly recommend shaking it thoroughly!!

The 'Hwahae Serum' has a very watery consistency! I think you need to shake it ⭐️ before using it for the first time. I was surprised to see the oil layer and the water layer separate and come out... haha ☑️ It seems to have gentle ingredients I'm the type who gets Hwahae easily, but I've never had any breakouts after using the Hwahae Serum ☑️ It's not sticky and is soft I don't usually use sticky products as sunscreen, but since this is a Hwahae Serum, it applies very smoothly~ ☑️ Makeup applies well When I used the Hwahae Serum, my makeup seemed to apply well overall! There were no flaky areas, and my skin looked great right after applying makeup! I'm satisfied with it😄
Cons☑️ After using, the oil appears on my face... I have an oily skin type, and after applying the sun serum, my face looks shiny and greasy😭 So I wipe my face once with a tissue and then apply makeup on top! ☑️ It becomes dry over time At first, it's shiny and greasy, so I wipe it once with a tissue, but by the afternoon, it seems to become dry😭 As shown in the photo, the areas around my nose and cheeks become dry and flaky... Even though I have an oily skin type, it's this bad, so I can imagine it's even worse for those with dry skin. ☑️ The cap doesn't close well I twist the square cap to close it, but in the busy morning, the cap doesn't close properly, and I have to close it again several times🤨 It seems inconvenient ㅜㅜ
TipIt seems like a good idea to shake it once before using! When applied to the face, it becomes shiny, so dab your face lightly with a tissue and then do your makeup. 😄

Otherwise, the layers will separate and the oil and formula will play separately. As time passes, it is quickly absorbed and the skin feels very light. I really dislike the stuffy feeling of applying sunscreen, but this serum does not have that stuffy feeling, which I liked. I recommend this to dry and combination skin types. Although it is called a sun serum, the formula has a slightly oily feel rather than an extremely moisturizing and watery one, so those with oily skin may not like it.
ConsThe product separates into layers when shaken haphazardly, with the oil layer and serum not mixing together. When applied without mixing, it leaves an oily residue. However, it is quickly absorbed, so it does not feel like it was not applied.
TipThis sunscreen seems perfect for those looking for a really thin, non-clogging sunscreen to wear before makeup.

There is a small bead-like object inside the case that makes a rattling sound to help mix the contents well. The texture is that of a well-flowing oil. It is not highly viscous and is very runny, so you need to be careful not to let it drip when applying. It is not a watery serum-like product but rather on the oily side. It applies smoothly and slickly, like actually applying oil. Although it is called a 'sun serum', personally I feel it is closer to an oil than a serum. It blends the non-greasy, very finely milled mineral sunscreen well with the oil, giving a somewhat milky appearance, but not excessively so. Over time, the oily feeling does subside a bit, but as I tend more towards oily skin, I did not experience a powdery or matte finish afterwards. Even after about five hours, there was still an oily sensation when touched. The scent is hard to pinpoint exactly, but it reminds me of sunscreens I've used before. It is unremarkable and neither particularly bothersome nor stands out.
ConsIf you apply too much, your face will feel very oily at first, and it may become blotchy due to white cast. Especially the areas around the nose where the skin folds tend to appear quite pale. It's best not to apply a large amount all at once, but rather to apply it in small increments.
TipBefore applying makeup, using too much can make the skin oily, so it's best to apply the appropriate amount and use a foundation with UV protection. For those with dry skin, it's recommended to focus on moisturizing the base and using products accordingly.

There is minimal whitening, so it looks natural. When applied over foundation, the combination works well, making it suitable for daily use.
ConsI didn't feel it much superficially, but it may feel a bit oily on oily skin. At first, it was moisturizing, but the moisture was less than expected, so I applied it and as time passed, it became somewhat dry.

Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsFirst, despite its lightweight formula, it has a high sun protection factor! I was pleased that the ingredients are gentle, and the compact size and sturdy lid meant there was no worry about leakage in my makeup bag. The serum-type formula was unfamiliar to me, but I enjoyed the lightweight application, quick absorption, and close adherence to the skin. For my combination skin with severe dryness, I usually avoid heavy creams when applying makeup, opting instead for toners, serums/gel-type creams, and sunscreen. When using this product, I skipped the cream step. Those with extremely dry skin may find it a bit drying. The formula adhered quickly without slipping or pilling, and it left a smooth, powdery finish, so I had no issues using it before foundation or cushion makeup. I sometimes skip the primer step to avoid foundation shifting, but that's not great for the skin. I understand now why this is called an 'airy serum' - it's so lightweight! I think I'll be reaching for this product frequently, especially in the summer. I'd highly recommend this to those looking for a primer with a smooth, non-greasy finish, and to anyone who tends to avoid using primers before makeup.
ConsAt first, I was taken aback by how oily it felt. However, it becomes velvety smooth within 1-2 minutes. Still, the slightly greasy sensation I felt right after application was not ideal. As someone sensitive to scents, I detected a faint, oily, and slightly pungent aroma. Most of the fragrance dissipates quickly, and it's fine when covered by makeup. But when using the sunscreen alone and reapplying later, that scent became unpleasant.
Tip- Be sure to shake it several times before using! - Using it before makeup is better for synergy than using it alone. - I recommend just applying it with your hands after removing some of the heat from your hands. Since the formula is lightweight, using tools seems to make it all get absorbed. - You should let it dry for a bit until the oiliness goes away so it doesn't get cakey.

It has a fluid, water-like texture. I didn't see the instructions to shake it before use, and just applied it, which caused it to drip everywhere!! Be sure to shake it well before using!! The water-like formula absorbs quickly, and the finish is powdery soft. I think it would be great to use in the summer. It's perfect for those who dislike sticky sunscreens in the summer. The packaging design fits comfortably in the hand, and the size fits in the palm, making it easy to carry around and reapply during the summer. I think this is an optimized sunscreen for summer. The fragrance-free formula was nice.
ConsThe finish is soft and fluffy, but there is a peculiar oiliness to it. It is powdery yet slippery.
TipBuild a solid foundation and use it! It finishes with a fluffy texture, so it may be a bit dry at the end for those with dry skin!
