The most unnoticeable sun screen I have ever used
I don't think I can use any other sunscreen for my face after using this one. A known problem I get with sunscreens is that they seem to "suffocate" the sweat glands on my face and they cause excess sweating. Now imagine it's already a hot day, who in their right mind WANTS to sweat more just to protect their face from sun rays? But there is no need to suffer from excess sweating when using this sunscreen. It is light as a feather and gets absorbed into the skin as if it were just a light serum. As a bonus, it gives the skin a healthy (but not greasy!) glow and there is zero heaviness felt. I never got burned in my face while using it so it does its job! I also believe that it won't leave a white cast on darker skin, but I can't 100% promise that because I'm light.

Great texture and softness
The cream is soft and has a nice texture. It applies very easy and leaves no white haze or stickiness. When not using make-up it is a prefect cream for me, I have used it for a couple of days now. I prefer sunscreen with a teint for daily use. Smell of the cream is nice and subtle. The tube has a perfect size to throw in your bag.

Effective and nice combination
Firstly, what I really like about this product is that it contains SPF 50, which for me with a pale skin is important and really nice. The product also mattifies my skin for the whole day, resulting in a non-shiny skin. Overall, the set reduced impurities of my skin and also improved the texture and outlook. Also, the scent is neutral and the product doesn’t sting when you apply it. Very happy with it and would recommend to anyone with impurities to improve the skin.

First grinding sunpact in the world
When I was picking up this sunscreen, I was not as much interested in the spf itself (these I've got in stock till next summer 😁) but more in structure and the packaging, because this is very new to me, it's balm to powder! And it is really a grinder - you have to turn the pack clockwise and the pretty cream comes out. It is satisfying to see it, and it becomes a lace structure, so cute! When making a video I overdid it and took out too much- so when I was applying it, it was too much for the face, so I used it on my hands and neck. The cream has a soft velvety finish, feels very nice on the skin, but I can't shake off the residue until I wash my hands with cleansing oil. This can tell you how good it sits, and it is waterproof for sure -I sported with it and was caught under rain - everything stayed put, there were droplets on top of my skin, like on a waterproof coat. Plus it does not move make up around, so it's all very good. The only downside for me is that it leaves a bit of a white cast, but one of my skincare fellow friends has recommended to put it on a bit by bit, that's what i am doing too. It is still white, but less, so it blends well and leaves a tiny bit of finish. It holds well for the whole day and reapplication is also nice. Also it evens out my skin tone and becomes somewhat a make up base- like a primer. It is very interesting to see, because it's very mat, smooth, and feels very soft. All in all - very interesting cream, i like how it sits on the skin, but I don't know if I can recommend it to the darker complexion.

disappointing
it takes a lot to blend it out and it leaves those weird white things on my face, which cant be blended out so i have to take a tissue and wipe them off. this never happened with the spf i used before so i dont know what causes it. i apply spf during class so this was definitely a waste of money since it takes too much to blend out and leaves those weird white things, which arent dead skin or anything like that but every review i see is good which confuses me cause no way im the only one this happens to

Great for dry skin
This was my favourite sunscreen for a while (until the BoJ Ginseng Sun Serum took that spot). It's very moisturizing, so moisturizing that I don't need to use a day cream when I use this. Maybe even a little too moisturizing on hot summer days 😅 Then it feels like you're just sweating it out. I will use this in winter when my skin gets drier. Because I still really like it, it feels very soothing. At first it might look like it leaves the tiniest bit of white cast, but when it sinks into your skin, that disappears. It definitely has a more dewy finish and there's pretty much no scent to it, though I don't mind that typical sunscreen scent. The price is really good for the quality. I always choose Asian sunscreens for my face because generally they're better and cheaper than the sunscreens you can buy here in the drugstore. So I will repurchase this! #SkincareIsTheBestCare

No more shiny skin #SkincareIsTheBestCare
A skin clinik therapist recommended me this spf after taking photos of my skin and showing me all pigmented areas caused by the sun. I've been using this spf cream for over a year now and it does not makes my eyes cry or itch, neither leaves a white layer but instead absorbes so you don't see that you're wearing a spf. It has a dry-touch finish, and it absorbed quickly. Love the matifying and sebum absorbing effect. I've been struggling with excessive sebum production since I can remember and this cream makes my skin mate and prevent production of new pimples or shiny layer of sebum. I do not use any other moisturizer as this cream is already very hydratating. I give it a 10 from all the spf creams I ever tried. It is a pricy product but is worth for the effects it gives 👌 you should reapply every 2h for optimal protection. #SkincareIsTheBestCare

Geen witte cast
This is one of the two new sunscreens from HaruHaru and I already am on my way to purchase the mineral one, as I've read very good reviews about it. This sunscreen can be put in the same line for me with two others that I adore recently. The structure is super lightweight, absorbs very quickly, it does not leave a sticky residue on your skin and the skin feels slightly dewy. After about an hour it becomes more matte finish on my combination skin and I have shared it with my oily "skined" friends, they say that the finish does not feel sticky at all, so I can recommend it to all skin types. 🔥This sunscreen offers strong UVA and UVB protection with broad spectrum of SPF50+, PA++++ with zero white cast 🔥Hydrating formula infused with the Haruharu WONDER iconic ingredient black rice oil and extract that moisturizes skin and provide antioxidant benefits 🔥Enriched with Ceramide NP, Heartleaf Extract, Adenosine, and Niacinamide to provide extra skin-reliefing, pumping, and brightening benefits. I simply love how it feels on my skin and I'm sure I will be hearing more from my friends about how good this is!

Protect them and yourself
Like no other! Cause we only have one world and one body. The material is very thin and you dont have to use a lot of it. Aside from this the smell is very nice, I really love it! I use it on the daily and add the other skin products as well when I go outside on my kayak or sub, while cleaning up the rivers of Amsterdam. You protect yourself and also the animals in the sea :) lets try to be more consiouss of what we put on are body and leave behind in the sea ;) #mysummeressential

Stable formula
This sensitive skin-friendly sunscreen is packed with ten types of vitamin and hyaluronic acid to nourish and replenish moisture, while offering UVB SPF50+ (52.8) and UVA SPF PA++++ (17.1) sun protection. The antioxidant-rich sunscreen provides skin brightening and soothing effects. It also promises to tone up, brighten and take care of blemishes. Which skin type would be the best for using it? Sensitive, dry and skin irritated by UV rays. My combination skin found it ok! It is tested for blue light blocking and also reduces the amount of UV denerated melanin. So, there are 10 different highly concentrated vitamins that are mixed with HA in a 9:1 ratio to create sun care formula that helps sooth the skin, protect it and also bring hydration. Also improves the dull skin tone. Consistency - the cream is light, a bit runny, toner like feel to it, that does not leave skin greasy or sticky. The promise was not to leave the white cast, it is even in the description. This was not delivered in my case - maybe I'm too dark skined (which i'm not!) or I don't know what, but it really and visibly leaves a white cast on my skin, I can see the difference of the neck and decollette in case I don't put it on there. It is not a big problem for me, of course, because mineral sunscreens also leave the white cast. But I did not expect it from this one. Otherwise, I can recommend this sunscreen to anyone with fair skin. Maybe those with oily skin will find it a bit too much, but dry and combination skin definately liked it! Also it is the first sunscreen I tried with retinol, even if it is a small amount, it is still going to be working. So, not only no can we use retinol in the evenings, here's our new AM retinol routine!

Reef Friendly Sunlotion
Amazing! Is basically all I can say, because I mean, it is reef friendly and for all the ocean lovers out there, this should be the first thing you look for when buying these products. We need to protect our ocean, and even if it costs us a little bit more money. The product is really smooth and the skin takes it in really easy. Do not over use and use just a little later to spread over your skin. I always say, take care of your skin, just like you take care of your world surrounding you. Protect it at all costs! #TrendyBenefitBox

Great sunscreen
You’ve got to believe the tiktok hype. I have a sensitive and dry skin and this sunscreen is so comfortable. The texture is lightweight and doesn’t leave as much of a white cast, it blends well with makeup and works perfectly just as a day cream. It layers well with my other skin care products and it doesn’t feel greasy. I really like the ingredients that it (doesn’t) contain and it is cruelty free.

My favourite x
Alright!
Once freshly applied you achieve this flawless makeup look almost like you have applied a high end foundation not a drugstore one, but even after setting with powder the foundation is easily transferable, sticky throughout the day and moves around your face with a single touch, the powder does help but compared to other foundations its not amazing, i recommend this product for short term wear not all day. But on the upper hand it is only £8 i think so it is a really good foundation for that budget and it smells nice too!

Very nice, a bit expensive
Very good sunscreen, does not break me out, soothes the skin. Not really a white cast I believe, but I have very fair skin so it is hard to tell. It is a bit expensive for the amount you get though, but if you are looking for a nice basic korean sunscreen this is the one for you!

Love-hate
Avène Sun Care SPF 50+ Mineral Milk, formulated chemical filter-free, fragrance-free and paraben-free, is specially designed to chemical filters and fragrance-intolerant skins, and all the fragile skin of adults and children- The complex of mineral sunscreen, stable and effective over time, offers the best mineral protection against UVB as well as short and long UVA. - Pre-Tocopheryl, a precursor of vitamin E (powerful anti-oxidant) to protect cells from free radicals. ✨My experience with it had been love-hate. It is one of the only sunscreens that effectively protects my pigmentation from popping out on my face during harsh summer days, it's top notch. But also it leaves such a white cast that i look like a ghost 100% of the time. So I'm using it only on my pigmentation places and other spf everywhere else

I absolutely love this sunscreen!!!
Inkey List is my main skincare, and I recently saw they had a new sunscreen. I tried it out last month, and I really love the texture and the light feel. It leaves my skin glowy and dewy, just like the name implies. Love, love, love... I usually use the trick of 1/2 finger lengths of sunscreen to determine the least amount to out on my face! #BloomIntoTheNewSeason

Rich hydrating spf with no white cast
I have been looking for a sunscreen that is hydrating without feeling oily and sitting on my skin. I really like how rich this cream feels and that it still absorbs after a while. I think it acts perfectly under makeup but on its own also makes the skin look nice and glowy. It’s also not too expensive and I bought it at Etos with a 1+1 offer 🤩

Great but not for oily skin
It is a really good sunscreen, no doubt. Fragrance free, no white caste, not sticky, no stinging, moisturizes the skin. But it is not suitable for oily skin, in my opion. It stays very oily and does not mattify the slightest. I don't think it promises to mattify but I didnt think that it would stay as oily as it does. If you have dry skin, you would love it. I like it, but I will keep searching for a more mattifying one

Okayish
Don’t get me wrong, this lip balm is not bad per se but it does not do much either. It moisturizes the lips but I always feel like the moisture is just sitting on top. It has a bit of an orange-y taste to me as well. It might be good for spring time or so but I personally need something a bit heavier for during the winter. In addition, I simply could not recommend this considering it’s price point knowing there are other quite cheeper balms who perform in a similar way, if not better. Plus points for the SPF in the balm, it’s always important to put SPF on your lips too!

‘Your skin but better’ in a bottle!
+Flattering glow +Low effort +Blends easily +Lightweight -So-so staying power -Very sheer coverage -Might not suit oilier skin types This is THE product I reach for when I’m going for the so called clean girl look. It’s lightweight, blends in like a dream and a little goes a long way for me. It says it’s a moisturizer with SPF, however I use it after my skincare routine and a decent layer of primer (props to Elf Poreless Putty Primer). During hotter days, I feel like I have to set it with some powder however even as a dry skin gal. But it has a gorgeous glow finish, so people with oilier skin might need to take care with this. Do NOT expect for this to cover any hyperpigmentation or pimples, this stuff is SHEER. I haven’t been able to build up any coverage with this product, and I suspect I’ll have to apply a good few layers to achieve that. And that would kind of ruin the purpose of low effort makeup, if you ask me. On days my skin is problematic, I need to go in with some spot concealer to fix those little parts. The staying power is not great, but I honestly don’t really expect this from such a lowkey and sheer product. This does still pill a bit around my nostrils, but that’s something that’s happened with every complexion product I’ve used ever. I avoid applying any product on there directly, blending in a small amount of the neighboring product instead.
