I usually don't like applying sunscreen because it makes my skin feel stuffy and causes my makeup to come off, but this sun serum applies smoothly like a lotion and doesn't make my skin feel heavy, even when I apply a lot of it. My makeup also doesn't come off after I apply this. The narrow dispenser opening makes it easy to control the amount I use. Since it contains madecassoside, I should apply it consistently to help with blemish marks.
ConsThe strong herbal scent may be divisive. When applied on sensitive skin, it can sting.

It also won't feel heavy or sticky, so those who dislike thick textures will probably like it. The usage experience is good too. It seems less drying than mineral sunscreens, and doesn't interfere with makeup application. The non-sticky texture is also nice. The scent is not overpowering either. And there's no residue left after foam cleansing.
ConsAt first, it felt a bit stinging after application. Honestly, the oily types found the sunscreen to be quite greasy, making their skin look shiny and glossy, which was not ideal. Additionally, I experienced a persistent feeling of heat on my skin. For those with sensitive skin, I would not recommend this as it may cause irritation. The drawbacks were significant enough that I did not feel it was worth continuing to use. I had originally wanted to use it for longer, but my skin ended up getting too irritated, so I only used it for about a week.
TipIt's not as easy as one might think to control the amount, so you have to apply it while quietly whispering this to yourself.

Everyone knows that sunscreen is important, but in reality, it's often a hassle to apply it daily. These days, there are many so-called great sunscreens, but I disliked the greasy or sticky feeling on my face when applied, and the feeling of it interfering with my makeup. I was one of those who just didn't bother using it. However, meeting this product was a real eye-opener. It felt more like applying a moisturizing ampoule than a sunscreen. Even though it felt lightweight upon application, I was surprised that it didn't become greasy or sticky later on. Instead, it left a slightly drying sensation. If you've been reluctant to use sunscreen due to the unpleasant texture, I highly recommend this product. My boyfriend also tried it and really liked how refreshing it felt, unlike other sunscreen products. However, the scent is quite strong, which made me a bit anxious as a sensitive-skinned person. But it didn't cause any issues for my skin. Still, when I applied it on sensitive days, it did sting and irritate a bit. ㅠㅠ
ConsThe scent can be a bit strong, and the skin may feel slightly irritated when applied, especially if you have sensitive skin.
TipBefore applying makeup, it truly becomes a Hwahae-worthy complexion.

I was pleasantly surprised by how comfortable it felt to use. When using a chemical sunscreen, I sometimes feel it's a bit thick and sticky, and I often feel it's drying. But with the organic sunscreen, it applies lightly and provides good hydration without feeling heavy or sticky. The finish is also nicely powdery, so it doesn't interfere with makeup application. The fragrance may be divisive, but it seems fairly mainstream, so I don't find it too bothersome. To me, it's similar to the scent of the Mediheal Madecassoside sheet mask. As someone who doesn't generally enjoy strong fragrance in cosmetics, I usually avoid them, but this one is not overpowering and has a pleasant aroma. Since it's an organic sunscreen, there's no white cast, and it doesn't provide any noticeable brightening. But that also means it requires a bit more effort to apply before makeup. Overall, if you're looking for a hydrating, lightweight sunscreen to use before applying your makeup base, I'd recommend this organic sunscreen. It provides good hydration and a smooth, powdery finish.
ConsThe only disappointing aspect was that since my skin is currently in a sensitive state, when I applied it, it felt stingy and reddened in certain areas. It wasn't extremely stinging, and the stinging sensation subsides after a while, but it seems to be somewhat irritating.

Due to the madecassoside, it provides an immediate cooling effect that lasts for a while, making it great for summer use. The time I've used it is not long enough to fully evaluate its scar care capabilities. Unlike typical mineral sunscreens, this product does not have a thick, greasy application. Even someone like me who is prone to acne can use it without feeling burdened. However, on extremely hot days, it may melt and drip off with sweat, so reapplying multiple times is recommended. Fortunately, even with reapplication, it does not feel heavy or suffocating - the thickness is extremely thin, and the spreadability and application are top-notch.
ConsThe weather has become extremely hot, and it feels like I'm dripping with sweat and melting away. And when applied to the irritated skin, it stings a little.
TipApply several layers. Seems fine to use instead of cream in the summer.

Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsI was selected for the Hwahae Trial Reviewers and I'm leaving a review! ● Usage - As the name 'moisture serum' suggests, this is a very moisturizing serum! The application is super smooth, and it doesn't feel heavy like a serum - it applies like a light cream. Even when layered over other skincare products, it just feels like an additional moisturizing cream. ● Texture - It really does feel like applying a moisturizing serum, not a watery or thick formula! It spreads evenly and smoothly without any white cast. ● Scent - It seems to have a similar scent to the Mediheal Madecassoside Serum? The scent is not strong, but it has a subtle herbal, earthy aroma - not floral or fragrant, but more of a fresh, green scent. Personally, I don't find it bothersome at all. ● Skin Type Recommendation - I have combination skin, and during this transitional weather, using only moisturizing products has left my skin feeling a bit dry. Now that I'm in my late 30s, I find that using products with a bit of oil content helps keep my skin comfortable, not dry. So while this serum is great on its own or with a light moisturizer, over time it may not be enough hydration for me. But I think it will be perfect for the upcoming summer! ● Packaging - The pointed applicator tip makes it easy to control the amount dispensed, which is really convenient. ● Cleansing - It removes easily with just a single cleanse, which is great.
ConsAt first, it felt a little bit stinging when I used it, but after a few minutes, it was fine.
TipRather than a tip, sunscreen is best applied generously with multiple layers, as it does not get rubbed off even when applied thickly.

Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsFirst of all, I feel very lucky to be able to experience such a great product as a Hwahae Trial Reviewer👍🏻 This is a review based on using the product diligently for more than 7 days :) My skin type is close to combination, on the oily side. So I can be considered as having an oily-dry skin type. First, let me explain the application feel. It applies very moisturizing and lightweight. These days, there are many fluid-type sunscreens that apply lightly, but the sun serum definitely applies even more lightweight than those products. It was the lightest-applying sun serum I've tried😃 And the best part is, there is no white cast! There is no chalky or unnatural white cast at all, so I'm very satisfied with it👍🏻❤️ -Texture The texture is really fluid. So it's easy to apply, and most importantly, it doesn't feel thick and sticky in the morning when layering it over skincare and applying sunscreen, which can be so annoying ㅠㅡㅠ But the sun serum applies lightly and comfortably as expected of its fluid texture🤭 -Cooling sensation I don't know if it's just me, but I felt a nice cooling sensation when I applied it. Since I usually have a lot of heat in my skin, the cooling sensation felt really good🩵 -Refreshing finish Most of the fluid-type sunscreens or sun serums I've used before tend to leave a sticky or greasy finish, which I found uncomfortable. But this sun serum is different😳🩷 The absorption is fast, and it leaves a non-greasy, comfortable finish, which I really liked😆 Overall As someone who usually uses lightweight but sticky sun serums or thick but powdery sunscreens, I'm really satisfied with this product👍🏻👍🏻 It's great as a morning essential item, and with madecassoside in the formula, it's even better! Most importantly, it doesn't feel heavy or sticky on the skin, which is the biggest plus. Since it's good for skin aging, I'm planning to get it for my mom too!!! I need to let my friends who are 'sunscreen nomads' know about this as well ㅠㅜ💋💋💋
ConsThe product itself is so good that there are no major drawbacks, but let me list some minor points that bothered me a bit!!! There was a slight irritation. When I applied it, my skin felt a bit stingy.. 😢 The lasting power doesn't seem to last very long, and as time went by, it became drying. I think it would be good to use in the summer, so I'm going to continue using it going forward!!! Personally, I wasn't a big fan of the fragrance. 😢 Those who are sensitive to scents may want to keep that in mind!!
TipTone-up products really don't work for me at all, so it's best to use them only as sunscreen. I prefer to apply them before makeup rather than use them alone - that way, the makeup applies better and my skin looks nicer.😍💋

Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThe scent is slightly refreshing, like that of cosmetics. It's not entirely unpleasant, but since I'm quite sensitive to fragrances, it does bother me a bit. The product is called a 'moisture sun serum', and it's incredibly hydrating, almost like applying a moisturizer. The texture is a bit watery, but not to the point of being runny, making it easy to apply. It feels very nourishing and would likely work well for dry skin types, as well as those with normal skin. Using the sun serum was quite pleasant. It was so hydrating that it almost felt like it could provide sun protection. There was no stickiness, and it absorbed well, making it suitable for all skin types. I've been using it for over a week to help improve the temporary darkening of my skin (hyperpigmentation) caused by sun exposure, but I haven't noticed a significant improvement yet.
ConsThere were no issues after use, but there was a slightly irritated feeling and a mildly stinging sensation on the face! Sensitive individuals should test it out before purchasing!

Especially since atopic skin is so sensitive, there are many cases where the product does not fit and is discarded, so I was very troubled. Fortunately, I had the opportunity to try the product I was interested in! It contains madecassoside and centella ingredients, so I was looking forward to it gently caring for my sensitive skin that is easily irritated! Usage & Texture 💧 📌 Texture: Light and moisturizing serum-type 📌 Absorption: Absorbs quickly without stickiness 📌 After use: Leaves a moisturized but lightweight finish Moisture >>> Oil When I first squeezed it onto the back of my hand, the texture was between a thin cream and a serum (doesn't drip), and it was moisturizing when applied but absorbed quickly with almost no greasiness. The fact that it adheres to the skin without a sticky or slippery feeling is satisfactory. Effects 🔥 📌 UV protection: The SPF value is high enough for everyday use 📌 White cast: None 📌 Irritation: When I first used it, there was a slight stinging sensation for about 5 minutes as my skin barrier was almost non-existent, but it soon subsided and I was able to use it without redness. I have been using the Mediheal Madecassoside Essential Mask Trace Repair product shown in the attached photo for a long time. When I received the sun serum, I could smell the familiar Mediheal Madecassoside line's Hwahae scent, and I was a little worried that there might be irritation since my skin condition has changed from before. However, except for the first use, it was applied smoothly without irritation thanks to the moisturizing finish, so it was good for daily use!
ConsExtremely sensitive skin, such as that with atopic dermatitis, may experience a slight stinging sensation upon initial use. (Normal skin may not be affected.) The SPF value is high, but without waterproof functionality, additional products may be needed for outdoor activities such as water sports. (However, waterproof products require extra cleansing, making them burdensome for everyday use.) It is not completely fragrance-free, as it has a subtle, soothing Hwahae scent characteristic of the Cica cream.
Tip1. While the madecassoside ingredient can help soothe the skin, the reaction may vary depending on the skin condition, so it is recommended to test and use it for atopic or extremely sensitive skin. 2. It is better to layer a small amount multiple times rather than applying a large amount at once to maintain a more even and moisturized result.

Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThe formula is smooth and moisturizing like a lotion, so it absorbs quickly and smoothly without any gaps. As mentioned on the product page, there is no stickiness at all, and when applied to the skin, the layer is thin yet still feels hydrating. That's why, unlike the sunscreen I used before, there is not a single visible pore. It's refreshing and lightweight, giving my skin a breathable feel.
ConsFirst, when I applied it to my skin, I felt a generally soothing sensation. I thought it might be a cooling serum, so I re-read the detailed page, but there was no mention of a cooling effect. In my case, the skin around my eyes is a bit dry, and right after applying the serum, the area around my eyes felt warm, stinging, and reddened, but it calmed down over time. The stinging sensation goes away quickly, but the redness lasts for more than 20 minutes. It's not problematic enough to cause skin issues, so I plan to continue using it for now. While the non-greasy texture is an advantage, the formula is quite thin, so I end up using more of it to get a greater effect. I think I'll go through it relatively quickly.
