It’s my first Korean sunscreen and I am an amazed. It feels so much better on my skin compared to European sunscreens. I have acne-prone skin and this sunscreen without niacinamide is so light and fluid. It smoothes my skin and gives the effect of second skin. It is not sticky nor gives a oily effect.

ok, i knew i’d love this, but still… how did they make such a lightweight sunscreen without either alcohol or dimethicone? it’s even more lightweight than the SKIN1004 blue pump sunscreen. zero white cast at all (granted, i have fair skin), and absorbs just as quickly as any alcohol sunscreen. LOVE IT!
however, the only bad thing is that it’ll pill when i also use SKIN1004 Poremizing Ampoule. so Show more
