- First off, I have sensitive combination dehydrated skin. 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. - 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. When 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. - Hwahae UserOily SkinAcne SkinSensitive SkinApr 11, 2025
My skin type is oily! As someone with oily skin, I've always preferred mineral sunscreens and have only used them. I was hesitant about chemical sunscreens, worried they might feel too rich. But this product proved those concerns unnecessary. About 3 minutes after application, it leaves just the right amount of glow and finishes with a matte feel, which was impressive. It applies smoothly without the typical stiffness of sunscreens, which I appreciated. It's moisturizing yet absorbs well, leaving my skin feeling comfortable. This sunscreen seems perfect for use under makeup without any pilling. To summarize: - Finishes matte without feeling rich, suitable for oily skin - Smooth and moisturizing application, without the typical stiffness of sunscreens - Absorbs quickly and adheres comfortably to the skin, ideal for use before makeup I'm not sure exactly what the scent is, but it seems to have a somewhat artificial fragrance...? It might be a matter of personal preference, but I didn't like it... :( - Hwahae UserDehydrated SkinAcne SkinApr 4, 2025
This is a white, lightweight organic green tea sunscreen. It applies smoothly and evenly, just like an emulsion. Being organic green tea-based, it leaves no white cast and finishes with a clean, hydrating feel on the skin. It's great to use before makeup too. After application, my makeup adhered well without any pilling. I loved that it didn't cause any blemishes or irritation while using it. The case design is sleek and stylish in its cylindrical shape. It's also perfectly sized to fit in one hand, making it very portable. The scent is a bit artificial, which might be hit or miss for some people. - Hwahae UserCombination SkinAcne SkinSensitive SkinApr 3, 2025
The biggest advantage is that it's an essence-type formula, so it absorbs quickly and is lightweight, not affecting the next steps in your makeup routine. I prefer sunscreens that feel like hydrating creams, and this product has an even more water-like texture, making it easier to apply and absorb. Despite this, it has a slightly richer feel than moisturizing sunscreens, so it might not suit those with very oily skin or combination dehydrated skin who dislike stickiness. However, it should work well for those with dry or combination skin. The scent is too artificial and strong. You can still smell it even after some time has passed. Some might find it slightly heavy on the skin. - Hwahae UserDry SkinSensitive SkinApr 3, 2025
[Review for sensitive/dry skin] Once you've tried sun essences or sun ampoules, it's really hard to go back to thick, heavy sunscreens. That's why I always try to buy moisturizing ampoule or essence-type sun products. I'm so glad I got the chance to try this Cynic product! ✅Texture As a sun essence, it's lightweight and easy to apply with a quick swipe. Being an essence type, it goes on very thin and light. Right after application, there's a slight glow, but it finishes with a moisturized feel without leaving any oily residue. No stinging around the eyes when applied or washed off. ✅White cast - Absolutely none Great for applying anywhere on the body, including arms and neck. Suitable for men too, making it a perfect sun protection for the whole family. ✅The black packaging looks luxurious and pretty! The size fits perfectly in your hand! Despite the runny essence texture, I was worried it might leak when turned upside down, but it doesn't unless you squeeze it. I've been using it for three days straight, and as it's a chemical sunscreen, my skin hasn't had any blemishes (my skin usually reacts immediately to physical sunscreens). Also, it's an easy-wash product, so when I go out wearing only this, I can simply cleanse with a deep foam cleanser - so convenient! Summary✅ Chemical sunscreen, no oiliness❌, no eye irritation❌, no white cast❌, applies moisturizing, finishes fresh, easy to wash off. Highly recommended if you're looking for these features! Its thin application and moisturizing properties make it perfect for summer use, and it doesn't cause pilling under makeup👍 I'm 100% willing to purchase this with my own money next time! ✅Scent - There's a very faint smell of hair dye :( ✅While the shape is pretty, it's difficult to store I've kept the original packaging box, cut it a bit, and use it to store the product upright. - Hwahae UserOily SkinAcne SkinSensitive SkinApr 2, 2025
I'm trying a sun essence for the first time, and it's exceeding my expectations. With its water-like texture, it's perfect for your skincare base. When I applied foundation over it, I was pleasantly surprised that it didn't cause any pilling - you know that unsettling feeling when your makeup starts to separate? Despite its lightweight feel, I was concerned it might make my skin oily too quickly, as my face usually gets greasy within an hour after washing. However, I didn't experience that issue at all. So far, there's nothing particularly negative to report. Just be careful when dispensing the product - if you press too hard, you might end up with a volcano-like eruption! As for the scent, it has a typical cosmetic fragrance - neither notably pleasant nor unpleasant. I absolutely recommend using this as part of your skincare routine before makeup!
