I used the version before the reformulation and liked how it felt, so I repurchased it after the reformulation too 🔁 A sunscreen that provides solid protection from sun damage while also offering brightening and skin irritation prevention benefits. At my age, I want to be particular about sunscreen, so I chose this one. Of the several sunscreens I own, this is one of my favorites. It's fragrance-free. Some people seem to think it smells like medicinal herbs, but it didn't bother me. The texture is like a fresh, lightweight cream. It blends in so smoothly and spreads endlessly, and I love that I can use it without worrying about friction or uneven application. It does contain alcohol, but it has never irritated my skin. The fact that it leaves my skin moisturized without feeling sticky is another thing that makes it easy to use. It's on the pricey side, so I basically use it on my face.

Cell Fusion C

Dark Spot Toning Sunscreen SPF 50+

A sunscreen with a strong tone-up effect. I recently finished one, and I'm currently on my third tube. It spreads well despite the high SPF, and I like how it brightens my skin without leaving a white cast. On uneventful workdays, sometimes this is all I use for my base. Since it's sunscreen, when I wear it to work, it's creased by the time I get home. It doesn't look bad, though. It doesn't pill or flake off either, so it's easy to use and I like it.

Nature Republic

California Aloe Cooling Watery Sun Stick SPF 50+

This cooling sun stick was a huge help this summer! 🧊☀️ A favorite that I used a ton this summer. I'm already on my second one◎ I'm pretty sure I bought it at PLAZA. I've seen it at drugstores too. Even though I always properly apply sunscreen to my face and arms, it's surprisingly easy to forget the back of my neck, my décolletage, and my ankles. Since it's a stick, I can quickly apply it without getting my hands dirty, so reapplying doesn't feel like such a hassle either. It's curved, so it's easy to fit along the contours of areas like my neck and arms, and all I have to do is glide it on—so easy It feels cool when applied, which is so nice in summer 🧊 I don't notice any white cast or stickiness, and even though it's moderately moisturizing, it feels smooth and dry on the surface. And I absolutely love the scent. Maybe it's an aloe scent? It's fresh, and I love it so much I could keep smelling it forever lol Maybe it's because I used it regularly this year, but I didn't notice as much sunburn as I usually do. The SPF 50+ and PA++++ are also a plus for summer use. It's easy to carry around and super convenient for reapplying. I'll probably buy it again next summer 😂☀️ Would repurchase ◎ (second one)

Kwailnara

Aloe Vera Moisture Aqua Soothing Gel

I tried this while looking for a lightweight soothing gel to use in the summer, and it was better than I expected. The texture is bouncy yet light, so it doesn't feel stuffy or heavy on the skin and leaves it feeling moisturized. It was especially nice to apply generously on hot days or when my skin felt hot from being dry. It absorbs pretty quickly too, so it wasn't overly sticky even when I applied a lot, and it felt even better and more cooling when I kept it in the fridge before using it. It was also convenient to use on dry areas like my arms and legs, not just my face. That said, it might feel a little light for anyone looking for a super rich, deeply moisturizing feel. If you're looking for a soothing gel you can apply generously without feeling weighed down, this is a decent product.

Kanebo

Cream In Day II

My favorite day cream. It smells so good and makes my morning skincare routine feel nice and relaxing. It's a soft cream that spreads easily and doesn't leave a white cast. When I finish my morning skincare with Cream In Day II and then do my makeup, my foundation goes on really well, and I just can't live without it!

UV Ultra Fit Base EX

Cezanne UV Ultra Fit Base EX 02 Peach Pink review🥹💗 It brightens my skin naturally and beautifully💗I find it drying, so I want to layer a really moisturizing sunscreen underneath🤝🏻 (I have dehydrated skin) If you have oily skin, this might be all you need as a makeup base☺️Every time I try one of Cezanne's base makeup products, I feel like they're all probably better suited for oily skin🤔

D'Alba

Air Fit Blue Tone-Up Sun Powder

I feel like I say this every time, but D'Alba is cheapest during the Mega Sale. Is the new blue sunscreen powder not coming back in stock during the Mega Sale?🥹🩵(?) This type of powder is a total lifesaver for bangs wrecked by sweat and oil💭💭 The brush is cute like a puppy and super fluffy too! For getting rid of forehead shine & reviving my bangs‼️Of course, it’s also an easy way to get sun protection on your neck and face. Update: No sign of it coming back and I could cry, pretty please D'Alba🤲

Beauty of Joseon

Relief Sun Aqua-Fresh Rice + B5 SPF 50+

It's incredibly refreshing and non-greasy, so it's really perfect for summer. It's so lightweight I wonder if I even put it on, so it feels great to apply. There's nothing that makes me think, "It has to be this one!" but I like that it's affordable.

D'Alba

UV Essence Waterfull Tone-Up Pink Correcting Sunscreen SPF 50+

This sunscreen feels fresh and watery, spreads easily, and feels lightweight on the skin! The pink color naturally cancels out dullness and subtly brightens and tones up the skin! It doesn't leave much of a white cast, and I'd recommend it to anyone who likes a dewy finish◎ While it doesn't dry out easily, I felt like it wore off a little more easily on days when my skin was oilier😢 It's easy to use for both cool and warm undertones, but it's especially good for anyone who wants a more translucent look!✨

Curel

Skin Repair UV Protection Serum SPF 50 PA+++

It’s super moisturizing, and even my dry-prone skin stayed thoroughly moisturized all day in summer. The beige color naturally covers uneven skin tone and dullness, and for a quick outing, this alone gives me a finished enough look. However, if you apply a lot, it can easily leave a white cast, so be careful! I used it in summer, but it didn’t seem very sweat-resistant and came off quickly, so I felt it wasn’t suitable for summer. Since it’s highly moisturizing and I like how it feels and looks, I’d like to repurchase it in winter, when I’m especially concerned about impressions.

Astalift

D-UV Shield Tone-Up SPF 50+

Astalift by Fujifilm. The shade is Rose. This has really strong sun protection. It's a must-have for summer. Even if you don't apply it every day, using this as a base on days when the UV rays are strong, when you'll be driving, or when you plan to go out keeps worries about the sun to a minimum. It barely has any tone-up effect, so I mix it with a CC cream or color corrector from another brand. If you're using it on its own, don't expect it to tone up your skin. lol But I definitely want people to use this on days when they're more concerned about sunburn than toning up their skin. If you're choosing just one base product for summer, this is the one. The downside of previous Astalift products was that they tended to break down easily, but I feel like that's been significantly improved with this one. Its adherence to the skin and how well foundation adheres to it are both satisfactory. However, the biggest selling point of this product is its UV protection, so I don't think it's particularly good at the tone-up effect I mentioned earlier or preventing dryness, which is important in fall and winter. I think you could buy one for summer and use something else in fall and winter. But I'll definitely buy it again next summer.

Curel

Skin Repair UV Protection Serum SPF 50 PA+++

I bought this for my face, but it really didn't agree with my skin, so partway through I switched to using it on my body. I have thin skin that gets red easily, so I bought this while looking for a sunscreen that seemed gentle on the skin. It felt moisturizing, and I had high hopes that it wouldn't dry out my skin easily. But when I actually used it on my face, the tone-up effect was way too strong for me, and I was bothered by the white cast. It also felt like it settled into my pores, and when I layered concealer and other products over it, they sat a little awkwardly on top, so it didn't work that well with my base makeup either. It does feel moisturizing, but as a facial sunscreen, I really disliked how it felt. It seemed wasteful to throw it away, so after that I used it as a body sunscreen on days when I was staying home or just going out around the neighborhood. A little whiteness doesn't bother me as much on my body, so I used it that way until it was finished. It might work for people who like moisturizing sunscreens or a tone-up effect, but I won't repurchase it for my face.

Dr. Jart+

Every Sun Day Moisturizing Sun SPF 50+ PA++++

Another sun cream I love and keep repurchasing! It spreads easily, doesn't feel thick or get too sticky, and it almost never pills when layered with other products. It's often sold as a 1+1 deal, so I usually buy it at Olive Young in Korea. It's good value too, so I use it on my arms and neck, and it's moisturizing enough without being too much, making it good for winter as well.

Iope

UV Shield Sun Ampoule SPF 50+

I use this as my at-home sunscreen ✌︎ Just like the name Sun Ampoule suggests, I love that it feels like an extension of my skincare routine. It feels totally stress-free to use, so I recommend it even for people who don't like sunscreen 🙂‍↕️ SPF50+ PA+++ It gives solid UV protection while supporting the skin barrier and being gentle on the skin—just what you'd expect from Iope! 🥹 I can use it without worrying even when my skin isn't doing so great, and it feels so good to use that I always want to have a bottle on hand, so even though it's a little pricey, I'm planning to repurchase! ☑︎No squeaky feeling ☑︎No stickiness (leaves skin moisturized and bouncy)

D'Alba

UV Essence Waterfull Tone-Up Purple Correcting Sun Cream SPF 50+

It naturally brightens up my skin and is moisturizing too, so it leaves my skin feeling hydrated, and I thimk it would be good for people with dry skin. The coverage looks natural and gives a nice glow, and I think it works well with any foundation! It spreads really well, so I think the value for money is unbeatable too! 💭 It’s also great as a makeup primer, and I use this + a light dusting of powder for a no-foundation makeup look! I used it all through winter, and not once did my skin feel dry

UV Essence Waterfull Tone-Up Pink Correcting Sunscreen SPF 50+

I use all three colors, and they feel pretty different depending on the shade! I have sensitive & thin skin, so when my skin isn't doing well, even sunscreen can sting sometimes, but this line has never irritated my skin. Cover Beige It goes on sheer, but feels like a BB cream. This one is my favorite, and I often use it when I want to do some quick makeup, but the oils start to separate as you use it, so you should shake the container well before using it T_T Purple This shade gives the biggest tone-up effect. It's the least moisturizing of the three, but it doesn't dry out my skin or anything! It can look pretty white if you apply too much. Pink Pink goes on the sheerest. It's lighter than the purple and feels more moisturizing. Since it's sheer, I use it as a makeup base or when I'm going bare-faced and just want a slight tone-up effect.

Curel

Intensive Moisture Care Foundation Comfort Makeup Base

When my skin is irritated or after getting a skin treatment at the clinic, I mainly use this after applying the powder balm from the same brand. It has a light texture and really goes on without weighing down my skin. This is a makeup base, but it also brightens my skin tone, so when my skin is irritated, I can pretty much just lightly dust some powder over it and my makeup is done. My favorite thing is that even though it's a primer, it has pretty decent coverage.

Pola

White Shot Serum UV SPF 50+

I have dry, thin skin, and I'm the type who tends to notice dryness over time with certain sunscreens. This has a smooth, cream-like texture that's easy to spread and feels moisturizing. I didn't find the stickiness too bothersome. What I especially like is that it works as both a day cream and sunscreen in one. Using this as the last step in my morning skincare routine takes care of UV protection too, so it's really helpful on mornings when I want fewer steps. Another thing I love is that dryness doesn't really bother me even after wearing it for a long time. SPF 50+ sunscreens can sometimes start to feel tight over time, but this one is easy to use even for my dry skin, so I keep reaching for it. The blue light protection is another nice bonus. On the other hand, it can pill with certain foundations. I feel like it can be a little picky when it comes to compatibility with base makeup. Also, since it's more moisturizing than a lightweight gel type, it may feel a little heavy for those who prioritize a light feel. It's one I want to rely on when I want fewer steps in the morning but don't want to compromise on UV protection or a feel that doesn't dry out my skin!

SKIN1004

Madagascar Centella Hyalu-Cica Water-Fit Sun Serum SPF50+ PA++++

This Centella sunscreen feels lightweight, and I keep repurchasing it! The texture is on the soft side, so it's easy to spread over my face, and I feel like it absorbs and blends in quickly after application. It doesn't feel sticky even when I apply a lot, so I can comfortably use it in the summer too. I also love that it doesn't feel uncomfortable even when I wear it on no-makeup days! It's one of my favorite sunscreens for the face.

Hera

UV PROTECTOR TONE-UP SPF50+/PA++++

I'd been wanting to try Hera's UV PROTECTOR TONE-UP SPF50+/PA++++ forever, and it was so good! It's a primer with a soft texture that spreads easily and gives just the right amount of tone-up. It's also very moisturizing and has a finish that makes my skin look plump, and it doesn't break down easily even after hours of wear. I couldn't decide between this and the lavender one, but the pink, which helps correct my complexion, suited me really well. It's a little pricey for a Korean makeup primer, but you only need a small amount and I loved how it felt, so I'll repurchase.
