Update**Pros outweigh cons for me
**Update: I noticed the difference in texture by a teeny bit with this sunscreen after my 3rd purchase. I think they have made it a teeny bit more moisturizing? It is no longer as pudding-like as the first couple times Iโve gotten this in 2020 which I thought was more fun to use. But I have purchaed this 4xโs already and the formula is still wonderful even if I felt the difference in the texture! Thatโs saying a lot because I like experimenting and trying out innovative and new creations of sunscreens or products. Itโs such a reliable sunscreen and soo comfortable on my oily skin even when my skin is sensitized from a bunch of chemical exfoliants or acne products. Rather than oily, Iโd still think this is hydrating. Itโs summer, so I just use a gentle and hydrating acne controlling ampoule, and then this in two layers in the mornings. Itโs not heavy or too dewy. Itโs kind of in the middle similar to radiant looking on the skin. Iโm used to a bit oil and moisture on my face so I donโt mind at all. Itโs comfortable to me because I donโt think it feels anything tacky. Thereโs so many competitors out there now, and sunscreens are becoming better and better. But I still love this and it is my HG in my top 3 list! I just know that I can rely on this sunscreen and know that this sunscreen will always be my safe place when all else fails! Price unfortunately went up a bit though, so for the amount Iโm getting, it has gotten a bit more expensive but as long as it doesnโt keep going up, Iโll still get this because it is worth it!! Btw, I got a sample/travel size cleanser from my last purchase of this and it was DREAMY!!! Sooo comfortable, produces nice soft foams, not stingy on sensitive skin barrier, and it even though it cleans, it even feels hydrating afterwards!! I believe in their hyaluronic acid! If I have the funds for new cleansers, Iโd definitely buy it. โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ- Original: I love this so much!! Thereโs only one con but Iโm gonna talk about the pros first. Iโm back to get a second order. I have oily skin but we need hydration as well and this sunscreen is very hydrating but not greasy. Itโs texture is kind of like pudding to me. Zero white cast. The list of ingredients are quite amazing. Doesnt irritate eyes. Doesnt irritate skin. The only cons, are that it pills over certain serums I have on sometimes, and the amount is quite small for the price. So with pilling, Iโd have to play around and figure which serum doesnโt really like to be layered under this sunscreen. But when Iโm in a rush, since I do not have dry skin, I can just use this sunscreen in two layers or so and feel moisturized enough. Better than nothing. Whenever I reapply, it doesnโt pill if I am not using serums that doesnโt interact well with this sunscreen. The pros outweigh the cons for me, therefore, I still think it deserves a 5 star personally. Best so far up to date for me. I have tried soo many.

Non Greasy, lightweight, no white cast
I've only been using this for 3 days, but it is easy to apply, works very well under make-up, and I haven't noticed any added shine throughout the day. It hasn't caused any type of reaction on my skin. It seems dreamy. I live in a cold climate and the days are grey but we all need sunscreen anyway. It is kinda small for the price, but I haven't had to use a huge amount to cover my face and neck. 1 pea size amount covers my face then half of that covers my neck to about my collar bone. Also it is moisturizing and no white cast. Update: After applying the correct amount, I did experience eye irritation. And a couple of little red bumps. This is unfortunate as it is very nice to apply and it is moisturizing. And it does work very well under make-up with no pilling or white cast. I'll keep looking. Update: Even though my initial response to this was unfavorable I continued to use this as I really like the silky texture. It has been about 5 months of use and now it is summer in the Midwest. I have used this every day and the protection it supplies is phenomenal! With the UV index at very high I have not burned once! I've spent hours outside working on my yard and no burn. It does cost a bit more but with proper application, careful not to get it too, too close to the eyes it is the best korean skincare product I've used yet. It does allow a touch of color to the face, but no burn. I have since added this to my subscribe and save list. I would highly recommend.

Sunscreen that doesn't make my oil-slick face oilier... instead, it makes it PLUMP and HYDRATED!
I love this sunscreen! I have SUPER oily skin --like, BP oil spill -level of oily-- and this sunscreen somehow doesn't make it feel oilier. TO BE CLEAR: directly after application, my skin DOES feel really slick and oily, like almost all sunscreens do. But somehow, and I have no freaking clue how they do this (my best guess is magic and wizardry, maybe a touch of necromancy, but I'm not judging), a couple minutes after application, my skin feels... just... moisturized. It doesn't feel slick, but it doesn't feel powdery (like the Missha powder-finish sunscreen I used to buy prior to trying this one). It doesn't feel gross at all! It just feels moisturized and plump, like happy skin should feel! AND I HAVE INSANELY OILY SKIN (normally)!!! This stuff doesn't exacerbate it! Magic and wizardry, I'm telling you. Magic. And. Wizardry. (And perhaps necromancy. Or voodoo.) Anyway, it's awesome, and I love it, and if they raise the price I'm going to be extra-super-pissed because this is the one sunscreen I don't absolutely detest putting on every day. I can't speak to actual effectiveness against the sun: I haven't gotten the "opportunity" to test it in the summer (I just discovered this a few months ago in autumn) or in the... {*hiss*}... the SUN... {*cringe*}... but assuming the brand isn't BSing its customers about the SPF rating, the "SPF 50+" stated on the label/bottle is plenty for even fair folk like moi. So, yeah. Asian / Korean beauty at its finest, right here. Oh, and this brand's Oligo Hyaluronic Acid Toner (whatever it's called) is also an absolutely amazing, awesome, kickass staple of mine! Bought both these products during the most recent Black Friday sale after coming across the brand on Amazon, having never heard of the brand before, and bought them on a hunch because they were pretty cheap and the ingredients looked clean. Ok, they were dirt cheap during that sale, lol. I'm SO GLAD I tried them out, because both are AMAZING, and I'm now going to try probably all of the products that this brand sells. I'm obsessed. Korean skincare magic and wizardry.

One of the Best SPF's But Wish It was Double Lab Verified
I have dehydration prone, acneic combination skin and I've tried a lot of sunscreen brands, Sun Bum, make p:rem, Holika Holika, Supergoop!, Bliss, Skin Aqua, etc. and this one definitely is one of the best I've tried. It goes on almost like a thick serum and feels very hydrating. It blends in with no white cast and you don't get the gross goop in your eyebrows. I have used them by itself and with other products and have had no issues with pilling. It reapplies just fine and doesn't make your skin feel greasy or heavy. It won't hydrate super dehydrated skin, but for normal to dry it'd probably be fine. It's cruelty-free and vegan, which is a HUGE plus. This would truly be my favorite sunscreen, but there are two things that I feel like are downsides. First, this isn't double lab verified for it's SPF. While that doesn't make it inherently bad, ever since the Asian sunscreen scandal, I've been preferring to use sunscreens that have been double lab verified as an extra precaution. Second, while per ounce this is cheaper than a lot of other Asian sunscreens, the amount they give you is laughable... For a 40ml (1.35oz), if you apply the recommended amount of 1/2 teaspoon to the face and neck and reapply once in the afternoon (if you stay indoors), then that means this will only last you for about 8 days. That is INSANE! It seems crazy to buy 4 bottles just to be able to use it for a month.... I will also make a side note that it did sting my eyes very slightly, but it's because my eyelids got oily and some of the sunscreen got into my eyes. Blinking on a tissue to remove it made the stinging go away quickly. Make p:rem has a very similar sunscreen that is a larger size and not quite as hydrating (more moisturizing), but even though it's slightly more expensive I would probably choose that one over this one just because they do have the double lab SPF verification and they're still cruelty-free and vegan.

New favorite!
I have very oily skin, but also use retinol and travel frequently so I put my skin through the it. This sunscreen is so soft and so soothing that it made my skin plump and hydrated during and after a 13 hour flight. I wore it during my entire trip and now that I'm home buying another tube. It sinks in quickly and is moisturizing without being greasy. It seems like all skin types could get along with this, though can only speak from experience for oily and occasionally dehydrated skin

It's okay
Average, still pills when applying sometimes, especially when you reapply

Office appropriate indoor/winter sunscreen
Like many other Korean sunscreens from Kolmar, this has a light, airy texture, it spreads easily, and it does not leave a residue behind. It performs well under makeup. It is not waterproof, and it is not useful on its own against all UV rays and facial discoloration. I wore this on its own on my face in Mexico. I did not spend any time in the sun on purpose, and I wore a hat at all times. After a few days, I had new sun spots. I switched back to my regular combo of physical and chemical sunscreens (this under a physical sunscreen) unless I was spending the day indoors. I will continue to use this on indoor days as it does provide a level of protection, but I won't use this alone if I plan on spending time outdoors. Also, whoever said that mixing sunscreens is absolutely wrong. Layering sunscreens, especially physical + chemical, provides extra protection and often offers the benefits of both without the drawbacks (physical sunscreens can be drying and leave a white cast, but a nice moisturizing chemical sunscreen can solve the problem!).

Works for my sensitive skin!
I have an autoimmune disorder that causes my skin to get infections easily. This product is the only sunscreen that wonโt break my face out in an infection. Itโs moisturizing, non-greasy, and doesnโt leave white residue. Just beware that it is NOT something you want rely on for protection in water. It comes right off.
