It's a bit watery. It has a formula similar to sunscreen. It absorbs well and has no white cast, which is good.
ConsIt seems like fragrances have been added during the renewal. When I apply it, I'm like, "What is this...?" This is the first time I've experienced this. It has an artificial floral scent. Rather than disliking the fragrance itself, I dislike how overpowering it is.

It has a subtle cooling effect that's perfect for reducing heat, and it's not greasy but water-based, so it doesn't pill even when applied before makeup! I also love that there's no white cast.
ConsIt's a bit disappointing that it doesn't have a brightening effect. The 35ml size runs out quickly, which is a shame.

I've used it for a week, both before makeup and when going out bare-faced. This sunscreen finishes with a moisturizing feel without any white cast. It has a lightweight, easily absorbed emulsion-like texture, which makes it comfortable to apply. As the weather gets hotter, I tend to apply more sunscreen than usual, but this one doesn't clump or pill. It's possible to apply the recommended amount of sunscreen without issues. Despite its name, I initially thought it didn't have much of a cooling effect beyond the refreshing hydration when applying. However, over time, I noticed less heat buildup and my skin felt less stuffy compared to other sunscreens. The product packaging is thin and lightweight, making it convenient to use. I highly recommend it as a summer sunscreen!
ConsAs mentioned above, while the product promotes a cooling effect, I didn't feel as much coolness as I expected.

It's highly hydrating with no white cast or pilling, making it great to use before makeup or as a substitute for a moisturizer. ❣️The ingredients are genuinely gentle, and I love that it doesn't contain any pore-clogging components. As someone with combination dehydrated and super sensitive skin, I used it without any itching or eye irritation. ❣️With its hydrating properties and cooling function, it seems perfect for carefree use during summer~
Cons🥲 Perhaps because it doesn't contain added fragrances, there's a slight glue-like scent... However, this might actually be a plus for those with sensitive skin looking for fragrance-free products. The scent doesn't linger long and almost disappears once absorbed. 🥲The price is a bit steep for a sun cream. It's the kind of price that makes you want to use it sparingly, just for your face... haha.
TipIf you're using a hydrating serum, you can skip the cream and just go with serum + sun cream for your skincare routine. It'll keep you moisturized from morning to evening without any dryness. I used it with Ampleur serum, and it was just the right combination.

When applied over skincare that leaves a sticky or shiny finish, this sunscreen actually helps reduce stickiness while maintaining a healthy glow. There's no pilling, white cast, or stickiness - it feels just like applying a hydrating moisturizer, which saves time in my routine. It layers beautifully under base makeup and brightening moisturizers without any clumping. Even after wearing it for over 6 hours and taking a nap, I didn't experience any excess oil production. The finish remained largely unchanged from when I first applied it. However, keep in mind this may differ in summer weather.
ConsBecause it feels like a hydrating moisturizer, you might end up using it too generously! This probably explains why the product seems to run out quickly.
TipWhile it's said to have a cooling effect, I didn't notice it much. I usually prep my skin with toner pads before applying sunscreen. Since this is definitely a hydrating sunscreen, I'd recommend using cooling toner pads first to enhance the effect.

It applies quickly and lightly like a skincare product, feeling fresh and moisturizing without heaviness - Absorbs without white cast, non-sticky, and doesn't pill or separate under makeup, making it a decent sunscreen
ConsAs someone sensitive to chemical sunscreens, I experienced slight eye irritation Having sensitive skin, I initially felt some burning and itching in certain areas (I typically react this way to chemical sunscreens, regardless of the cooling effect) It's frustrating that my sensitive skin finds mineral sunscreens too heavy, but chemical or hybrid sunscreens are difficult to use despite preferring them

(It got a bit messy in my makeup bag after an encounter with a rogue mascara, oops!) First off, I loved the cooling effect of this product! I applied it without knowing what to expect, and suddenly my face felt refreshingly cool. I was like, 'Oh? What's this?' Turns out it's the Aquatica Cooling Sunscreen! It would be perfect for those who tend to feel hot or for summer use. Also, since it doesn't leave a white cast, it's great for those who don't wear makeup or for men who want to reapply throughout the day. Remember, sunscreen should be reapplied when you're out! It absorbs quickly and comes in a convenient size for carrying around. I also loved how hydrating it felt. It was less like applying sunscreen and more like smoothing on an essence or a moisturizing emulsion!
ConsThe downside was that I got a small blemish on my forehead after using it, possibly because I tend to be oily in that area. If you have oily or combination dehydrated skin, you might find it a bit rich. In that case, you might want to use it sparingly or set it with some powder afterwards.
TipI noticed that when I let it absorb well before applying makeup, my foundation seemed to go on better. I usually use a brightening moisturizer before makeup for a brighter look, but this sunscreen isn't a tone-up product, so it's great for a more natural makeup look. To be honest, I'm more interested in the skincare benefits than just the sun protection aspect of sunscreen!

The texture is thin, which made it feel hydrating. While I struggled to apply other sunscreens in a 500 won coin-sized amount, the Aquatica Cooling product was easy to use. There's absolutely no white cast, and it finishes like a moisturizer. I was really satisfied with how it leaves a refreshing cool sensation after application. There's no pilling or separation when I apply makeup over it, so I highly recommend it for daily use.
ConsThis product doesn't provide any coverage at all. It feels more like a face cream.
TipThey say you need to apply a 500 won coin-sized amount for perfect UV protection, but with other sunscreens, applying that much made my makeup separate. Aquatica Cooling absorbs well, making it perfect for this. It seems great for reapplication too. On days I wear a mask, I keep reapplying it, and it doesn't transfer. It doesn't make my skin feel stuffy either, which is great.

I usually only applied mineral sunscreen, but with this organic sunscreen, I didn't feel any dryness all day without reapplying anything. 2. It's not sticky. The emulsion-like texture absorbs quickly, leaving skin moisturized without any stickiness. Even when applied to the neck, there's no uncomfortable clinging sensation. 3. There's absolutely no white cast. Of course, that's expected from an organic sunscreen... But for someone who only used mineral sunscreens, it was a game-changer to escape the 'floating face' look. 4. It's not irritating. I once had a severe skin reaction from another brand's organic sunscreen, despite it being recommended by a beauty guru. After that, I stuck to mineral sunscreens, but bravely tried organic again with this product. I didn't experience any stinging, redness, or swelling. To be safe, I patch-tested on my neck first. After two days without issues, I layered it over mineral sunscreen on my face, then used it alone the next day. I did get a few blemishes, but nothing as severe as dermatitis.
Cons1. I developed blemishes. Since this was the only change in my skincare routine, it seems to be the culprit. On the day I applied it to my face, two pimples appeared on my chin, and after the second day, a few more popped up on my cheeks and forehead. While it didn't cause dermatitis, it doesn't seem to suit my facial skin... However, I'm using it very well on my neck and body due to its light and moisturizing feel. 2. The cooling effect isn't as pronounced as the name suggests. There's a slight cool sensation upon application, but it's comparable to applying a regular moisturizer.
Tip1. The hydration level is perfect for dry areas around the eyes and mouth, but oil tends to build up in the T-zone and U-zone over time. For combination or oily skin types like mine, it might be good to use oil blotting papers or a mattifying powder.
