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.

Pros

✔️ Texture: Not completely watery, but has a certain weight to it. Even after 2-3 thin layers, it doesn't feel thick or suffocating. ✔️ Cooling effect: Slightly noticeable immediately upon application ✔️ Scent: Typical sunscreen scent, but barely noticeable when applying ✔️ Brightening: Slight and natural-looking ✔️ Deep dryness: Not noticeable, even with my combination dehydrated skin (oily T-zone, dry U-zone) ✔️ Stickiness: Slightly sticky, enough for a few strands of hair to stick to the face, but not overly so. Leaves a residue when tapped with fingers. ✔️ Would consider purchasing

Cons

❌️ Some pilling occurs around the edges of the face after some time

Pros

The absorbs well and isn't too sticky, which I absolutely loved! It feels just like applying a light moisturizer! I used to avoid sunscreens because while the very matte ones feel nice right after application, over time they would make the texture on my T-zone more noticeable. But this one doesn't get greasy at all. Instead, it leaves my skin feeling hydrated, which I'm really satisfied with!!!

Cons

There weren't any downsides. I've been using it without any blemishes. Oh... the only disappointing thing was that the shape of the container means you can't stand it upright.

Pros

I was lucky enough to win this from The Hwahae Testers, and I was immediately smitten with the adorable case - it's so cute I want to carry it around everywhere! When I tried it, wow, the texture flows just like an essence, making it incredibly hydrating and lightweight. The best part is that it doesn't leave an oily residue, but instead absorbs well, leaving my skin feeling moisturized. I'm already worried about what I'll do when I run out! As someone with dry skin, I think this worked exceptionally well for me!

Cons

I can't think of any downsides, what am I supposed to do? Well, if I had to nitpick, I wish it came in a larger size. I'd love to use a bigger bottle!

Tip

If you apply this sun essence and then layer Missha's Glow Balm on top, you'll achieve a luxuriously glowing and hydrated makeup look!

Pros

The fluid-like texture of this sunscreen is amazing! It doesn't clump or leave a white cast like typical sunscreens do. I love how it's not sticky at all, leaving my skin feeling light and refreshed. (P.S. It's absolutely perfect for the neck! The finish is so powdery soft that you don't have to worry about it transferring onto clothes. The texture makes it easy to apply thoroughly, even to the back of the neck. I highly recommend it! If you're on the fence about buying it, try it on your face first. If it doesn't suit your face or causes makeup to pill, use it on your neck. You'll fall in love immediately!)

Cons

The powdery finish seems to cause some issues with makeup. When I apply a semi-matte foundation and pat on cushion makeup over it, my makeup tends to separate faster and emphasize wrinkles more than on days I don't use this sunscreen. Apart from this issue, I highly recommend it!

Tip

I think it works even better if you apply it right after your serum or ampoule, skipping moisturizer.

Pros

The case has an adorably round design that's perfect for carrying around as a portable size. The formula is a runny, organic physical sunscreen with a texture similar to nasal discharge. It's nearly fragrance-free with a light, refreshing feel that isn't heavy. Among sunscreens, this one has an exceptionally pleasant skin feel. Being an emulsion-type, it absorbs well and has great spreadability. It's neither drying nor greasy, but pleasantly moisturizing. Its hydrating quality makes it suitable for use before makeup. There was no pilling or eye irritation, and it's great for reapplication on-the-go. Perhaps due to its blue light protection and redness-calming effects, it didn't irritate my skin at all. With its gentle ingredients and non-irritating formula, I'm satisfied using this as my daily sunscreen!

Cons

The round container can't stand upright on a vanity.

Tip

I apply a thin layer twice, let it absorb, then proceed with makeup. Highly recommended as a portable sunscreen.

Pros

✨ Essence-like moisturizing sunscreen I've only used sun "creams" before, but this is my first time trying an essence-type formula! As the name suggests, it's truly a moisturizing product like an essence. If you dislike the feeling of heavy products sitting on your face, you'll probably love this. ✨ No irritation and almost fragrance-free! There's no stinging in the eyes from this sun product, and it's almost scentless, making it very comfortable to use.

Cons

⚠️ Price that makes you hesitate at full cost? If you're already happy with your current sunscreen, you might want to wait for an Olive Young sale to try this one... haha. ⚠️ Product packaging The round shape is cute, but... when applying sunscreen after your skincare routine, your hands can be a bit slippery, making it difficult to open the product.

Pros

I have very sensitive skin. The Cyanix Expert Sun Essence has an impressive lightweight and refreshing feel, absorbing quickly into the skin without any stickiness, so it can be applied even before makeup without any slippage. It has a non-sticky texture, making it great for daily use, and there is no white cast, allowing for a natural skin expression. As an essence type, it applies moisturizing without irritation, and the hydration lasts a long time, so it can be used comfortably even on dry days. It is formulated with gentle ingredients, which is a big advantage for those with sensitive skin. The case is also a great advantage, being very high-quality and beautiful.

Cons

Despite the high sun protection factor, the product is not very sweat or water-resistant, so it needs to be reapplied frequently during outdoor activities to maintain its effectiveness. Additionally, as an essence-type product, it may feel overly moisturizing for oily skin types, so those who need oil control should exercise caution.

Tip

Apply frequently and multiple times.

Pros

I have combination skin that's prone to blemishes even with the slightest incompatibility. I've been a sunscreen nomad, as even my regular products often caused breakouts after extended wear (8+ hours). I've been using this product consistently for about a week. Review: The texture is runny, like essence as the name suggests, making it incredibly easy to apply. There was no stinging sensation upon application, it goes on moisturizing and absorbs well. Even when applying makeup afterwards, there's no pilling and the makeup adheres well. It's practically fragrance-free, making it easy to use without any aversion, and the texture is great for reapplication. Most importantly, it didn't cause any blemishes, so I'm thrilled to have finally found a sunscreen that works for me. I started using it while I had some existing blemishes, but due to its non-irritating nature, those cleared up over time and my skin improved.

Cons

There weren't any notable downsides. The case design is great for both carrying around and dispensing the product. From a price perspective, it's more affordable than my previous product, so I plan to switch to this one.

Tip

When applying, gently pat it in to ensure thorough absorption before applying other cosmetics. This helps your makeup adhere even better.

Pros

Texture: Not runny enough to drip, but it has a fluid consistency like an ampoule! It applies lightly on the skin. Feel: I was pleasantly surprised by how quickly it absorbs. The finish is quite fresh, so those with dry skin might not feel it's as moisturizing as they'd like. While I usually use a puff for sunscreen, I found applying this product with hands works better. Using a puff caused some pilling, unfortunately. Blemishes: I didn't experience any new blemishes while using this! No mosquito bite-like bumps or redness either.

Cons

In my experience, it doesn't pair well with puffs or sponges. It's best to let it absorb properly before proceeding with makeup application.

Pros

The absorbs is truly excellent. It applies lightly while leaving the skin feeling hydrated, resulting in a superior user experience. Moreover, it absorbs well, finishing with a fresh feel without any sticky residue. What's particularly nice is the subtle floral scent that lifts your mood during application. Given these qualities, I think many people could use this product without any strong likes or dislikes.

Cons

The 50ml volume might feel a bit small to some. Also, the round cap design doesn't allow it to stand upright, making it difficult to place on a vanity. You'll need to store it lying down.

Tip

When applying the essence, I use a flat foundation brush which gives a smooth application. Spreading it evenly across your entire face is most effective. It's particularly recommended to apply it 30 minutes before going out.
