  Pros

  Writing a review as a Hwahae Tester~ The Minon sunscreen is one of my must-buy items when I travel to Japan! I'm so happy to have been selected as a Hwahae Tester for this product. The Minon sunscreen applies smoothly and isn't sticky at all. My husband, who usually dislikes other sunscreens because they feel heavy, consistently uses this one without complaint. Especially since my husband has super sensitive skin and is extremely picky about skincare products, it's great that the Minon sunscreen is gentle enough for his delicate skin to use without any issues. For me, after lunchtime when my makeup usually melts off, making it tough to go for a walk outside, I always reapply the Minon sunscreen before heading out. The UV rays are so scary these days... Application: 5/5 Hydration: 5/5 Matte finish: 4/5 I've tried various sunscreens, but the Minon UV Mild Gel seems to be the most convenient to use anytime! I'm ready to face this summer's sun with this product.

  Cons

  I used to only use SPF 50, so with SPF 38, I think I'll need to use this for daily wear and buy a separate one for outdoor activities.

  Tip

  For those who use foundation, I recommend mixing it with this sunscreen when applying.

  Pros

  This sunscreen has a gel-cream texture that's moisturizing and smooth. Its consistency is just right, not gushing out of the tube, making it easy to control the amount you apply. It could work well as a makeup base too. Unlike some sunscreens that feel drying over time, this Minon sunscreen seems to maintain its moisturizing and smooth feel for longer. The application is incredibly gentle and hydrating, like applying a moisturizer. This makes it great for use not just on the face, but also on various parts of the body. As we need to be extra careful about sun protection in summer, it's convenient that this sunscreen is suitable for body use. If you're not wearing makeup, you can easily reapply it using toner pads for quick touch-ups.

  Cons

  There's nothing negative to say! I'm absolutely thrilled with it. It's fantastic!

  Tip

  Typically, sunscreens that increase UV scattering agents can cause a feeling of deep dryness as time passes. However, this gentle sunscreen seems to suppress this tightening effect with barrier-supporting ingredients. It maintains hydration without feeling sticky or causing deep dryness. Another highly recommended point is that it's wash-friendly - you can easily remove any residue with your regular cleansing foam or soap, which is a big plus!

  Pros

  I applied to be a Hwahae Tester after seeing this product was suitable for all ages, even newborns. It seems to be a decent product for daily use. Texture: It applies lightly like an emulsion and absorbs well. I liked that it finishes without much stickiness and can be easily removed with just a primary cleanse. Blemishes: As someone with sensitive skin that often reacts badly to sun products, I was pleased that this didn't cause any major breakouts. It should be fine to use if your skin barrier isn't too compromised. Eye Irritation: There was no stinging or discomfort when applied around the eyes. White Cast: There's a slight white cast immediately after application, but it's not excessive. As it absorbs, the tone becomes more natural and leaves a subtle glow. Scent: It's unscented, which is nice and clean. Even when I sniffed it up close, I could barely detect any fragrance. Packaging: The wide base of the cap prevents it from tipping over when standing. The tube format allows for hygienic use.

  Cons

  The main downsides were the significant pilling and the relatively low UV protection. With so many good Korean options available, I probably won't repurchase this once it's finished. Makeup Compatibility: Initially, it seems to adhere well, but over time it pills like dead skin. When I applied cushion foundation over it, my makeup looked patchy. It might be difficult to use under makeup. Sun Protection Factor: With SPF 38 and PA+++, the UV protection isn't particularly high. While this might be due to the gentle formulation, I'd be hesitant to use it on very sunny days. Irritation: Despite being marketed as suitable for children, it caused slight itching on sensitive areas. It might not suit those with extremely sensitive skin. Dryness: After a while, I felt a bit of deep dryness. It might be challenging to use during seasonal changes. Ingredients: It contains phenoxyethanol, a preservative. While considered safer than parabens, some people might still be uncomfortable with it. Portability: While not inconvenient to carry, it's not exactly pocket-sized. It won't fit in a small cosmetic pouch.

  Tip

  It might be suitable for use when not going out for long periods or as a body sunscreen. If using before makeup, ensure you allow plenty of time for it to absorb before applying your base makeup.

  Pros

  First off, the texture is smooth and applies easily, similar to my favorite sun serum. The scent is so mild I can barely remember it, without that typical sunscreen smell. When applied, there's just a hint of a white cast - you might wonder 'Is there a slight whiteness?' It feels moisturizing at first, but settles to a more matte finish over time. I used it worry-free since it's gentle enough for kids and washes off easily. The finish tends to be on the drier side, so those with dry skin might find it a bit dehydrating.

  Cons

  Controlling the amount can be tricky - even a gentle squeeze dispenses quite a bit. For some reason, whether it's incompatibility with my skincare routine or just the product's nature, it occasionally forms small white flakes, almost like eraser dust. This is different from the usual pilling you might experience with other products.

  Pros

  This gentle product is perfect for use from head to toe, even on children, without any worries about irritation! It spreads easily like an emulsion. At first, I thought it might be a bit rich, but it quickly absorbs, leaving the skin feeling soft and smooth. I've been using it effortlessly on my neck and body!

  Cons

  The ingredients are mild, and I haven't found any particular drawbacks while using it so far.

  Pros

  The best thing about Minon sunscreen is its moisturizing effect and how well it absorbs! As you can see from the hand swatch photo, it slightly brightens and gives a nice glow. I applied it before makeup, and there was no pilling. It's my first time trying this brand, and I'm thrilled to have found such a satisfying sunscreen. It's gentle, so I didn't experience any blemishes, and it's perfect for applying down to the neck.

  Cons

  It's a gentle product, so I didn't have any blemishes. Please note that the SPF is 38.

  Tip

  I heard that neck wrinkles can reveal your age, so it's important to apply sunscreen to your neck too! After putting on makeup, I used to apply a thick brightening moisturizer to match my neck tone. But with this sunscreen, it absorbs well on the neck, provides just the right amount of brightening, and feels great!

  Pros

  I remember seeing an experiment comparing the effectiveness of Korean and Japanese sunscreens, and if I recall correctly, the Japanese products performed better. That's why I have faith in Japanese sunscreens. This one has excellent absorption - at first it seems to whiten the skin a bit, but then it absorbs completely. The finish is nice, neither too sticky nor too dry. I also like that it seems to cleanse off easily, which is a plus. When my skin is acting up, double cleansing can be harsh, so I appreciate that this can be removed gently without irritation.

  Cons

  I recently stayed near the beach, and I found the low SPF to be a bit disappointing. However, I think it's fine for everyday use.

  Tip

  Allow your skincare to absorb fully before applying sunscreen. Leave some time between your base skincare and sunscreen application.

  Pros

  This sunscreen has a lovely emulsion texture that absorbs beautifully! Despite being a sunscreen, it feels as hydrating as a moisturizer! It's fragrance-free and doesn't leave a white cast. While the finish isn't sticky, you need to make sure it's fully absorbed to prevent pilling with makeup. I didn't experience any blemishes after using this, but as someone with combination dehydrated skin, I did notice some oiliness after a while. I'd recommend this sunscreen to anyone looking for a gentle and hydrating option!

  Cons

  The SPF 38 is a bit disappointing. Unfortunately, you need to reapply it quite frequently.

  Pros

  ♥ I love that the ingredients are gentle on the skin ♥ There's no white cast, but it does give a very slight brightening effect immediately > However, it quickly returns to your natural skin tone ♥ It's moisturizing and absorbs well, making it easy to spread ♥ The finish is fresh, so I highly recommend it for those who dislike sticky products

  Cons

  ☆ It feels moisturizing when applied, but after a short while, it becomes quite matte! I don't think it would work well for those with dry skin...! > Even with my combination dehydrated skin, I felt dry every day I used this sunscreen (without makeup, just sunscreen) ☆ Since it's a Japanese product, I'm a bit hesitant about repurchasing

  Tip

  I have combination dehydrated skin, so my oil production goes into overdrive in summer. I think this would work well for those with oily skin during the summer months.

  Pros

  It applies smoothly and moisturizes well, making it convenient to use not just on the face but also on arms and legs. Plus, it's fragrance-free, so you don't have to worry about liking or disliking the scent! I love that it provides a natural brightening effect without leaving a white cast, making it easy to use without any concerns. As someone with sensitive skin, I'm pleased that it didn't cause any blemishes. The ingredients list doesn't have any major red flags, which is reassuring! The tube packaging is user-friendly, and the generous amount of product is a definite plus.

  Cons

  Overall, I'm satisfied, so there's not much to complain about. But if I had to nitpick... the brightening and coverage effects could be a bit stronger. However, this isn't a major issue since it can be easily complemented with cushion foundation or regular foundation.

  Tip

  I think this will be perfect for applying on arms and legs during summer! It spreads easily and moisturizes well, which is great for covering larger areas. I'd recommend this as a gentle sunscreen without any concerning ingredients.
