  White Shot Serum UV SPF 50+

  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.

  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!✨

  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.

  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.

  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)

  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.

  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!

  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.

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

  I have dry, dull skin, and I came across this while looking for a tone-up sunscreen primer. I love it for the following reasons, and I'm already on my third tube! ・A little goes a long way ・The texture is just right—not drying or too heavy ・Natural tone-up effect ・Just the right amount of glow Since it spreads so well, one tube lasts a long time and I tend to keep it around for quite a while, so during summer and other times when I absolutely don't want to get sunburned, I apply sunscreen first and use this as a primer. It's a versatile product that works in any season, and I think I'll keep using it!

  THE LAB by blanc doux

  Oligo Hyaluronic Acid Sun Essence SPF 50+ PA++++

  Since it's a sun essence, it's less oily than sunscreen, so it worked well for my combination skin! It absorbs right away, so even if I apply makeup base immediately after, it goes on really well!! There's no white cast or pilling either, so it's a great product for lightweight everyday use!

  EGF Cica Water Sun Ampoule SPF 50+

  I love it because it leaves my skin plump and moisturized and helps my makeup go on better! The difference in how glowy my skin looks when I use it before foundation versus when I don't is obvious, so I can't do without it. The texture isn't too heavy or too light, so I think it can be used year-round.

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

  After using D'Alba sunscreen for a year, I’ll tell you about its pros and cons. Pros: I like that there’s almost no white cast and it gives a natural, even tone-up effect. Cons: It’s really sticky, so it feels too heavy in the summer. I’m not sure the staying power is that great either, and the hydration disappears pretty quickly (speaking as someone with extremely dry skin). I recommend looking for a different sunscreen.

  Chifure

  Sunscreen Essence Tone Up UV SPF 50

  I received this product from Chifure through a campaign. This was my first time using a Chifure sunscreen, but it has a lavender-tinted primer with a rosy glow-boosting effect, so I thought it was pretty good. It was easy to use, partly because it contains the same moisture-enhancing ingredients (hyaluronic acid and trehalose) and moisture-protecting ingredient (polyquaternium-51) as the “Chifure Intensive Moisturizing Serum.” It delivers both a translucent look and a rosy glow, and the lavender-pink color naturally brightens the tone, so it works as a makeup primer too—definitely a yes. It’s supposed to be lavender, but it actually has quite a bit of pink in it too. The tone-up effect is subtle, so it doesn’t make you look white ◎ When you spread it out, it gives a pearly glow and a translucent-looking finish. The generous size is another plus ◎ Since I liked the finish, I think it’ll be easy to use on days when I go without foundation too ◎ #PR #SeriousSunscreenReview

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

  My favorite sunscreen primer that I keep repurchasing. It spreads easily even with a small amount because it applies so smoothly, and one tube lasts quite a long time. There are several shades, but pink is my favorite because it doesn’t tone up too much and leaves my skin looking dewy with a subtle flush of color💕
