Ingredients Explained

Water. It's the most common cosmetic ingredient of all. You'll usually see it at the top of ingredient lists, meaning that it makes up the largest part of the product.
So why is it so popular? Water most often acts as a solvent - this means that it helps dissolve other ingredients into the formulation.
You'll also recognize water as that liquid we all need to stay alive. If you see this, drink a glass of water. Stay hydrated!

Wow holy grail end game status achieved!
DO NOT REFORMULATE this, Cosrx, i swear!!!
Suuuper lightweight. Does exactly as named “light” & “invisible” which are two very important things for me as someone with oily acne prone skin in a humid climate.
Oh and did i mention it makes your makeup glide on top perfectly???!! Looove how this susncreen makes my foundation & concealer glide on so Show more
This sunscreen is so light and easy to spread, I love it! The ingredients look really good too, there's no alcohol, fragrance, or oil, and it doesn't have any ingredients that trigger fungal acne.
It also makes my skin look dewy and it lasts for a long time.
Edit - I've been using it for two months now and I've already bought two more bottles because this is definitely my favorite sunscreen. The Show more

I am impressed that a lot of Sunozon products are FA-safe! I started using this one as it is for sensitive skin but I found it too oily to wear under makeup. I use it for my chest and arms and switched to another Sunozon sunscreen for my face. I have very light skin but I don't think it leaves a white cast.
I bought the SunOzon Sun Drops SPF 50+ because it’s free from pore-clogging ingredients and safe for fungal acne. It’s also very affordable. However, it irritates my skin (turns my skin red for 10 minutes). It also leaves my skin looking a bit oily, so I’m still on the lookout for a different sunscreen.
If you have any recommendations for a good sunscreen that’s both fungal acne safe and free Show more
