MADECASSOSIDE MOISTURE SUN SERUM BLEMISH REPAIR [SPF50+/PA++++]

Unsatisfactory Scent

Contains Artificial Fragrance

Feels Harsh on Skin

Doesn't Provide a Tone-Up Effect

Doesn't Even Out Skin Tone

Doesn't Give High Coverage

Causes Allergic Reactions

Easily Absorbed

Lightweight

Hydrating

No Caking

Feels Comfortable

Not Sticky

Not Heavy

This is a complete makeup must-have! If you apply it before putting on foundation, it keeps your skin moisturized and your skin expression lasts all day.

The fragrance is somewhat unpleasant, like a medicinal smell? And it might be too light for use in the winter (for dry skin).

I've been using sunscreen for about 2 weeks!
I've tried over 20 different sunscreen brands and I use it every day, so I had really high expectations for the Mediheal sunscreen!!
The best part was the pointed nozzle, which makes it easy to dispense the right amount. I really like the packaging 👍🏻
The formula is packed with functionality like wrinkle care, whitening, and UV protection. Since I've been using the Mediheal Cica Serum, I also expected the sunscreen to have soothing and blemish-improving effects thanks to the madecassoside ingredient!
My skin is quite sensitive, and sunscreens can sometimes make my face itchy, but this one was so comfortable to use~ True to its name as a 'Moisture Sun Serum', it's hydrating, smooth, and absorbs quickly without interfering with makeup.
This is the perfect sunscreen for my dry skin type to use in spring, summer, and fall!!
Even the 50g volume is amazing value for money~~
I've tried so many sunscreen brands, but this one ranks in my top 3 in terms of user experience and functionality. I'm so incredibly satisfied with it!

마데카소사이드 수분 선세럼 흔적 리페어 [SPF50+/PA++++]

The durability seems to be slightly reduced when sweating. It does not seem to be easily removed by water alone. However, I tend to use sunscreen along with a base, and I have a constitution that does not sweat much, so there was no particular problem in my daily life.
While using this product, there were no breakouts or reddening symptoms, but there was a slight stinging and itching sensation when applying it. It's a bit irritating, so I think I need to use it for a longer period to decide whether to purchase it.
The fresh grass-like scent or the characteristic sunscreen scent of the organic UV filter is quite strong. As someone who prefers unscented, I really dislike it. The scent becomes much fainter after application, but the strong scent when dispensing the sunscreen is unpleasant. The preference for the scent will likely vary.

✔️Skin Type: Extremely Sensitive + Dry, No Redness, Slight Blemishes, Tone 19, Skin Condition: Smooth, Slight Sun Allergy
✔️Usage Period: 04.15.25~04.30 (Approx. 15 days)

I had been using mostly inorganic sunscreens as the organic ones caused me breakouts, but inorganic ones can be problematic over time. That's when I happened to be using the Mediheal Madecassoside Trace Repair Serum and decided to apply for the Hwahae Trial Reviewers program for this product!

➕Texture/Application
It was definitely a thinner and more hydrating formula compared to regular sunscreens. However, it wasn't as runny as water (it doesn't drip even when tilted on the back of the hand) and glided on smoothly like a toner, feeling refreshing and lightweight upon application. It was perfect to use as the last step of my skincare routine without feeling burdensome! It wasn't sticky or heavy, and didn't interfere with makeup application, so I was able to use it daily. However, it did feel a bit oily right after application, so those who dislike a slippery sensation may want to take note. Especially for oily skin types, it may feel a bit greasy.
One unique aspect was that the oil-based sunscreen ingredients and the hydrating glycol-based layer seemed to separate when applied, giving a toner-like sunscreen texture.

➕Absorption
The absorption is quite fast. Just a few pats with the hands and it's almost completely absorbed. There's also minimal stickiness left after absorption. The absorption is similar to applying a toner. However, as mentioned before, there is a slight oiliness left behind, which creates a subtle glow. This may not show up well in photos, but as a dry-skinned person, I found the glow to be healthy-looking. Oily skin types may want to test it out themselves to see how it works for them.

➕HydrationThis was the most hydrating sunscreen I've tried so far! It was even more hydrating than the birch sap sunscreen. There was no dryness or tightness after application. Those who usually dislike the typical sunscreen texture (greasiness, dryness after application, white cast, etc.) may be able to use this comfortably.

➕White Cast
Since it's an organic sunscreen, there was no significant white cast. It just gave a subtle 0.005 tone-up effect, which fades back to the original skin tone over time. Don't expect a noticeable brightening effect.

➕Efficacy
One of the key features of this product is its ability to reduce sun damage traces. I usually have a slight sun allergy, and after using this, the redness from sun exposure does seem to be slightly less noticeable. It's not a dramatic difference visually, but I'll need to use it for a longer period to evaluate this effect more conclusively.

➕Price/Value
The original price is 22,000 won/50g, which seems to be the standard market price. However, since the formula is quite thin, I ended up using a bit more each time. I wish they had increased the volume just a bit.

➕Packaging
The compact tube packaging was convenient for portability. The applicator tip was interesting - it had a dropper-like dispenser, which made it easy to control the amount dispensed. The transparent packaging also allowed me to gauge how much product was left. The eco-friendly paper packaging was also satisfactory.

➕Ease of Removal
On days when I only wore this sunscreen without makeup, I found it annoying to double cleanse, as the oil-based ingredients can be difficult to remove with just a cleansing foam. But this sunscreen was easy to remove with a cleansing foam or cleansing milk. It did take about 2 rounds of cleansing with a mild acidic cleanser, and worked even better with an alkaline one. But visually, it seemed to be thoroughly cleansed, even if there may be residues that can only be detected by instruments.

I have been using organic sunscreen for a long time, and apart from the deep indentation on the neck area, the sunscreen residue often showed up well on blouses and the like. However, when I applied Mediheal to my neck, there was no residue left on my clothes, which I really appreciate. This aspect alone is enough to make me want to purchase it.

If used only for everyday purposes, excluding the summer season, there would be no regrettable aspects.

I'm usually too hesitant to use organic sunscreens due to my highly sensitive and problematic skin, but this product didn't seem too irritating, perhaps thanks to the centella. As soon as I applied it, my skin felt moisturized and comfortable, without any stickiness, just like when I apply a light moisturizer.
What I'm most pleased about is the generous review period - I've been using the product for over 2 weeks, and my lifelong blemishes haven't flared up at all. The spreadability and absorption are excellent, and the fragrance is barely noticeable and not at all unpleasant.
It's also easy to apply and doesn't interfere with makeup. Korean cosmetics are truly impressive!
As for the UV protection and longevity, I'm not sure how to properly evaluate those aspects, but the product washes off easily with just a light first cleanse, so I'm not sure if it would last all day, especially in sweaty summer weather. It might be best suited for light, everyday sun protection rather than for activities like exercise or water sports. But I'm still very satisfied to be able to use an organic sunscreen so comfortably.

Tip, not a tip. 
For my skin (combination), I have to use powder to control the excessive shine from this product. For my mom's skin (dry), applying this product alone is fine. It looks like a healthy glow.

When applying the product, wearing a mask, and then removing it after some time, a powdery, eraser-like texture is left on the face. This happens even when only applying sunscreen, or when applying makeup over sunscreen. My mother, who has used the same products, has had the same experience. My personal guess is that this is caused by friction between the mask and the skin.
Due to personal reasons, I still wear a mask on the subway or bus, so this issue is quite frustrating for me.

Here is the translation of the Korean text to English:

The review is about using the Hwahae trial product for about 2 weeks (4/15~4/30) after being selected as a Hwahae Trial Reviewer.

-Skin type:
Skin that was dry but has become combination as I've aged. T-zone: Dry inside + Oily outside, U-zone: Close to dry. Depending on the condition, breakouts occur and the skin is sensitive.

-Texture:
The texture is not like a typical sunscreen, but rather like a serum or thin lotion that flows down smoothly. For oily skin, it may be fine to just apply the toner and skip the lotion, then apply the sunscreen directly.

-Fragrance:
The fragrance is not familiar, but it's not artificial either, which I personally find acceptable (I dislike artificial fragrance). It has a healthy herbal scent with a refreshing feel.

-Product packaging:
The product opening is thin and long (like a dropper tube), so it's easy to apply directly to the face without having to dispense it onto the back of the hand first. The texture is thinner than expected, so just a light press is enough to get the right amount. It took some trial and error to get the dosage right at first, but I got used to it quickly. It's easy to apply the product in a zigzag pattern directly on the face and then pat it in.

-Advantages:
The biggest advantage of this product is the moisturizing effect without dryness inside!

Among cosmetics, sunscreen is the most difficult. Even when applying sunscreens that are praised for being moisturizing, they only feel moisturizing at the time of application, but then start feeling dry and tightening from the inside as time passes. This issue persists no matter how solid the skincare routine is, and it gets even worse when wearing makeup.
I've tried various top-ranked Hwahae sunscreen products and even those recommended by others, but they all ended up being failures.

The Madecassoside Moisture Sun Serum is the most moisturizing among the sunscreens I've used. Other "moisturizing" products either only feel moisturizing at the time of application, or are only glossy on the outside while being dry inside, and then start feeling tight again over time.
This product, however, is surprisingly good. Even my mom, who usually has trouble with sunscreens, tried this product twice and said it's the least drying among the ones she's used. My mom's skin type is severely dry. She hardly has any breakouts, but anything she applies ends up feeling tight.Since the texture is like a serum, the absorption is quick. I tried applying it multiple times, and it still absorbed well. As it's a mineral sunscreen, there's no white cast.

It applies lightly and smoothly, so it's not burdensome to use daily. It doesn't pill under makeup either.

Likely due to the madecassoside ingredient, there were no breakouts. My skin is originally sensitive, and I usually worry about breakouts when trying new sunscreens, but this product caused no issues.

This product is said to be sweat and oil-resistant, but also washable. I accidentally confirmed this experience. On a day when I only used this product without makeup and forgot to apply sunscreen, I just used a cleansing foam to wash my face in the evening, and there were no breakouts the next day. Normally, when using a sunscreen, I would use a cleansing oil or a cleansing water + foam routine.

There are really no downsides. If I had to write something, it's that sunscreen itself generally has a certain amount of oiliness, and this one also has some oiliness, so I'd recommend that those with very oily skin apply it and then use blotting paper to remove the oil before doing their makeup.

This is a Hwahae Trial Reviewers review.

First, I have sensitive, combination skin. I don't like sunscreens that leave a white cast.

Texture: As the name suggests, it's a sun serum. You can apply it like a lotion. It's not too runny or too thin, so I'd highly recommend this to those who have trouble using regular sunscreen products.

Fragrance: Do you know the Mediheal Madecassoside Pack? It has the same scent as that.

I usually don't apply sunscreen, but use a tone-up cream with some sun protection function. Since this is a sun serum, I tried applying it before the tone-up cream, and I'm very satisfied with the results. If you find sunscreen application troublesome or dislike the white cast, be sure to try this out.
By the way, I have extremely sensitive skin and get breakouts easily, but this sunscreen didn't cause any issues.

There's nothing in particular. The trouble comes up well, the ingredients are good, and there's nothing else that comes up separately.

I have a sensitive acne-prone skin.
This was my first time using the sun serum, and I was really pleased that it spread on smoothly without leaving a sticky or heavy feeling, unlike sunscreen... I definitely plan to repurchase it!

There are almost no downsides, but the fragrance is slightly strong. However, the other advantages are significant, so I think I will buy it with my own money.

As a reference, I have sensitive, thin skin.

Advantages:

🫧 Compared to organic sunscreens, it is exceptionally mild.
- I've used it when my sensitive skin was particularly sensitive, and I only felt a very slight tingling sensation, not irritation. Sunscreens that are said to be mild can actually be quite irritating when my skin is more sensitive, but this sunscreen was almost unnoticeable, so I'm very satisfied with it as someone with sensitive skin.

🫧 It's a sun serum, but it's waterproof.
- Organic sunscreens tend to be easier to remove compared to mineral sunscreens, but this product is waterproof, so I think I can use it well even in the sweat-inducing summer.

🫧 It's a mild product, but it has high blocking power.

🫧 It has a strong grassy scent.
- The opinion on the scent is divided, but it has a natural yet strong grassy smell. It's not a headache-inducing fragrance, though.

Even if you don't go out, it's good to apply sunscreen at home, but I always dislike that heavy feeling, so I gave up^^;; The Mediheal sun serum can be applied lightly after basic skincare, so I've been using it consistently. This seems to be the real daily product.

The formulation is soft yet runny, so if you don't control the force well, it can come out abruptly.

First, I have an intention to purchase this product.
The scent is slightly like an ointment(?) medicine, but after applying, the scent does not last long, so I don't think there will be a strong dislike. After only using sunscreen, the sun serum is certainly different from a cream, being more moisturizing and soft to apply. Especially in the hot summer, the light application was better than a heavy cream. 
There is no white cast at all, and it feels like applying a smooth moisturizing cream. There was no irritation or trouble.
As a dry skin type, it is moisturizing and absorbs quickly into the skin, so makeup can be applied on top without any pilling or issues.
On hot days, it applies without stickiness, and in the winter, it can be applied without a heavy, greasy feeling.

If I had to pick one, it would be that the entrance is narrow, so it tends to tilt when stored. Other than that, there's nothing! I didn't have any trouble with it!

✔️I used it for 2 weeks from 25.04.16 ~ 25.04.30.
✔️I have combination, sensitive skin, and currently my T-zone is oily, and my U-zone is dry.

•Fragrance & Texture: It has the same fresh scent as the serum from the same line. The texture seems to be quite runny among sunscreens. I immediately understood why it's called a 'sun serum'. The difference is clear as shown in the second photo! *(Left) Another product *(Right) Madecassoside Sun Serum

•Moisture & Spreadability: It has a bouncy, moisturizing spreadability, and after a short time, it leaves a refreshing finish. Unlike the oily sunscreen, this one is clearly generously applied but has a lightweight finish! So I tried skipping the moisturizer after toner/ampoule, but that didn't work for me. 😶‍🌫️ (Based on my skin type) It seems perfect to use when my skin feels sticky, has a lot of heat, and I'm concerned about breakouts! It also paired well with the ampoule from the same line.

•Makeup & Cleansing: It doesn't make my makeup look greasy, and it finishes nicely, making it easy to apply makeup. At first, I thought it might be too refreshing, but over time, a subtle glow comes through, and it makes my skin look great. Somehow, it's not easy to use physical sunscreen on troubled areas, but this one gives me peace of mind! Also, it washed off thoroughly with double cleansing without any residue.

•Recommended Skin Types: Recommended for dry, combination, and sensitive skin!
+It seems to work well in spring and summer!
+It has strong UV protection!

Normally, if you find your eyes stinging when applying sunscreen, try using the Mediheal Sun Serum!

There are no downsides. There are truly no downsides.
This product has been the catalyst for me to consistently apply sunscreen for the first time.

🦓 User Impressions and Advantages

1. "Best as a Makeup Base"
The most satisfying aspect was how smoothly and comfortably it absorbed without pilling when used before makeup. It was moisturizing but not heavy, feeling like a very light lotion that could be used alone or before makeup without any burden.

2. "Perfect Eye Sting Protection"
Most sunscreens I had used previously caused eye stinging. The moment I applied them, my eyes would sting, and it would worsen when I sweated, to the point of interfering with my daily life. 
However, the Mediheal Sun Serum did not cause any eye stinging at all, even when used all day. This alone makes it a holy grail product.

3. "Flawless Application and Texture"
The texture is so soft and smooth, making it comfortable from the moment of application. Especially since I had only used sunscreens where either the texture was good but caused eye stinging, or the eyes were comfortable but the texture was lacking. This product is the only one that has nailed both aspects.

I'd like to use it more consistently and see if it's also effective on blemish marks!
I was a sunscreen nomad, but I'm glad I found a good product :)

Well, if I had to pick, it's not really suitable for those looking for high coverage or tone-up sunscreen products. But other than that, I liked everything else about it.

I have been using the Mediheal Collagen Pack as a daily item for a long time, so I had trust in the brand itself. As expected! This product was also satisfactory.
As I have dry skin, I always dislike products that feel heavy and sticky when applying sunscreen. But this one has a moisturizing sensation without any oiliness, and it applies lightly without any white cast or heaviness. It seems like a great product to keep reapplying throughout the day.
The packaging design is also pretty, and the dropper-type dispenser makes it easy to control the amount and feels hygienic.

There are no particular shortcomings.
If I had to find something, it would be the lack of coverage? That may be understandable.

I didn't like the peculiar scent (metallic smell?) of sunscreen, so I used BB cream instead of sunscreen. This product doesn't have any scent, has good spreadability, and is very moisturizing, so I really like it~~^^Strongly recommended
