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.

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.
ConsDespite 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.
TipApply frequently and multiple times.

As someone with super sensitive skin, I trusted this brand after having a great experience with their 'The Simple' line during my college days. - The absorbs well, making it easy to apply, and I loved how hydrating it felt. - When choosing sunscreen, I always consider how well it works with makeup. This one paired beautifully with cushion foundations and liquid foundations. - Despite having sensitive skin and usually opting for mineral sunscreens, this non-mineral formula didn't cause any irritation or blemishes! - Being an easy-to-wash-off sunscreen, it cleansed off completely without leaving any residue. - The packaging design is totally my style! Simple yet sophisticated.
Cons- As someone with a sensitive nose, the artificial fragrance was slightly bothersome. It stood out more since I've been using fragrance-free skincare products. However, it wasn't uncomfortable enough to stop me from continuing to use it. - I experienced a bit of eye irritation, which was somewhat disappointing.
TipWhen applying makeup, I found that layering several coats of a hydrating serum before using this product created the perfect oil and moisture balance for my skin, making it an excellent base for makeup application.

The texture is incredibly lightweight with abundant hydration, making it absorb beautifully. It leaves a moisturized finish without any stickiness, feeling fresh and light! It absorbs incredibly fast, sinking right into the skin with zero white cast. I've always worried about irritation for my sensitive skin, but this product causes no irritation or eye stinging, so I can use it with complete peace of mind. Its lightweight feel isn't too rich, making it perfect for my oily skin. Above all, I'm impressed by the clinical studies on skin barrier and photoaging protection. As a chemical sunscreen, it's easy to cleanse and leaves no white cast, making it hassle-free even for me as a guy to use. Rating: 5/5 - As a chemical sunscreen with no white cast and easy removal, if it continues to show good results, I'd love to replace my current Enjoy Super Mild Sun Essence with this and use it consistently!
ConsTo be honest, there aren't many downsides to mention... If I had to nitpick, compared to my previous Enjoy Super Mild Sun Essence, I didn't notice a significant advantage in terms of value for money. However, as a pure sunscreen, I'm really satisfied!
TipSince this product absorbs well, you can reapply multiple times without any pilling. When going out, carry it with you and reapply every 2-3 hours to maintain continuous sun protection!

I knew Cynic as a brand with gentle ingredients. When you first open it, be careful as it tends to leak a bit. Personally, I loved the fragrant cosmetic scent. The absorption is truly amazing - it spreads smoothly like an essence and once absorbed, leaves your skin feeling hydrated just like after applying an essence. I was extremely satisfied with how it felt on my skin. I highly recommend using this as a base before makeup. It's an organic UV filter sunscreen with absolutely no white cast. I recommend this sunscreen for both men and women as it's easy to use for everyone!
ConsYou need to be careful about leakage when first opening it. Other than that, I have no complaints.
TipIt's great for applying on the neck. It doesn't stain clothes and keeps the skin hydrated.

My mom has super sensitive eyes and has disliked all the supposedly eye-friendly products I've bought her, complaining of discomfort and tearing. But she absolutely loves this one! It's almost fragrance-free, so it's not irritating, and it applies smoothly like a serum-emulsion, making it great for hands and neck too. I became interested after seeing it on Director Pi's channel, and I'm so glad I got to try it! I recommend you all watch the video and consider it for yourselves.
ConsThe round, flat shape of the product might be inconvenient for those who like to store their skincare items standing up. However, some people find the packaging cute, so it's really a matter of personal preference!
TipIf you're concerned about eye irritation, this product is worth checking out!

After application, there's no feeling of heaviness or pilling on the skin. 2. The watery texture is lightweight and moisturizing, absorbing well into the skin. 3. It doesn't cause any eye irritation. 4. There's no skin irritation and it doesn't cause blemishes. 5. It provides a temporary cooling effect.

TipYou can apply it like an essence, and even layering a brightening moisturizer on top doesn't feel heavy on the skin!

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.ProsThe anti-aging and sun protection effects are highly efficient, and it's a lightweight essence type that's perfect as an extension of your skincare routine. I'm usually worried about eye irritation when applying sunscreen, as my eye area is particularly sensitive, but fortunately, this didn't cause any discomfort~ It was comfortable to use, and despite being high-performance, I was concerned it might cause irritation, but it applied gently to my skin without any issues. It has a subtle yet noticeable floral scent, and the texture is like a slightly viscous essence. The finish is moisturizing, somewhere between firm and slightly tacky.
ConsSince it's a product that combines anti-aging, sun protection, and skincare, it's not as lightweight as gel or hydrating essence-type sunscreens. While it applies lightly, it has a density that gives it a certain weight, if you know what I mean? It tends to pill when applied before makeup, and even with absorption time, there isn't much difference (in my experience). So, I think it would be great for those in their 30s and above who want to protect against UV rays and provide comprehensive skincare, especially when going makeup-free or without foundation.
TipWhen jogging or going out without makeup, applying this multi-functional sun essence that includes anti-aging and UV protection is a time-saver and great for skin care - killing two birds with one stone! The case is sleek black and looks luxurious. Given its excellent ingredients and functionality, I'd love to recommend it as a gift for my mom, aunt, and others around me~

Texture & Application The formula is light and hydrating like an essence, but it has a nice bouncy texture when squeezed out, making it easy to apply. It adheres smoothly to the skin and absorbs naturally without any white cast, which I particularly loved. 2. Skin Reaction I have dry and sensitive skin, but I was able to use this product gently and comfortably without any irritation. 3. Sun Protection The SPF50+/PA++++ is great! I was satisfied that my complexion didn't change much even on days with prolonged sun exposure. However, when reapplying after extended outdoor activities, it felt slightly dry. Especially in the dry autumn weather like now, I recommend using it with a hydrating product. 4. Makeup Compatibility Being lightweight and adhesive, it blended well with foundation or cushion without any pilling. It seemed to help with the adherence and longevity of base makeup. Remember to focus on hydration during dry seasons! 5. Scent & Packaging The scent is subtle and fresh, not bothersome at all. Even those who are sensitive to strong fragrances should be able to use it comfortably. Plus, the packaging has a clean and sophisticated design, which is nice.
ConsIt's pretty, but I'm worried it might be hard to squeeze out when it's almost empty.. Will I be able to use it all up cleanly?
