    Shiny, white film and sticky

    I've probably gone through about 40 sunscreens now and this is one of the worst. I have dry, acne-prone skin that easily gets oily during the day. Mattifying: Absolutely not. This gives a lot of shine. Dry Touch: Absolutely not. Feels very greasy and sticky, even after about 30 minutes after application. Leaves no white cast: This sunscreen definitely leaves a white cast. Was very noticeable even on me, who is pale. The hunt continues!

    Pretty okay sunscreen but not for sensitive skin

    The hunt for a good sunscreen that is comfortable on the skin and doesn't look greasy continues. I should have been more attentive and checked if this sunscreen contains fragrance or not. I have sensitive dry skin that gets oily during the day and easily gets pimples. Unfortunately, I react immediately if I use fragranced skincare. Upon first application, it felt okay, but just like when I used Eucerin Oil Control, I started sweating a lot from my face. I reapplied twice during the day, and then the itching and breakouts began. By evening, I had large red spots on my neck that itched and burned a lot. + Pretty okay finish (not too shiny) Doesn't feel greasy on the skin - Not sweat-resistant Fragranced

    Irritates the eyes

    Just like with all other Korean/Japanese sunscreens, this one irritates the eyes. Light formula that is more pleasant than the heavy sunscreens we have in Europe. Unfortunately, way too shiny finish.

    Cream that soothes and restores irritated skin

    I have gone back to this cream several times. Mainly because it restores dry and irritated skin in a few days. I have acne-prone skin that is very dry due to treatment with Differin. This requires me to use a thicker and more nourishing cream at night, and this one is perfect for that. It doesn't clog the pores and soothes any itching. The product has come out with new packaging and formula. I think I prefer the previous formula better as the new one is not as thick and requires a thicker layer when applying.

    Matte finish sweats enormously on the face

    I actually like most things about this sunscreen. Matte finish, pump bottle, good price, water & sweat resistant. Unfortunately, I sweat enormously on my face when I use this sunscreen. I also don't feel that the sunscreen holds up against heavy sweating on a scorching summer day.

    Fantastic scent that grows

    I was initially hesitant about this scent, but it grows on you. Right upon application, it smells very leathery, but after about an hour, the scent settles and brings out completely different notes. I usually tend to avoid heavier scents, but this is my new favorite! The reason it doesn't get five stars is that I think the scent disappears too quickly. It is still Eau de Parfum, but despite 4-5 sprays, I find the scent weakens significantly after 3-4 hours.

    Natural finish and feels barely on the skin

    This SPF could have been a strong 4. It comes in a tube with a pump, which makes it easy to measure how many pumps are needed for an application. The consistency is creamy without feeling greasy. I have dry skin that is acne-prone and easily gets oily. Upon application, it sinks in quickly and leaves a natural finish. Neither matte nor “glow”. So far so good… but unfortunately, this irritates my eyes quite a bit. It started almost immediately, and after an hour I had to wash my face. Maybe it’s a specific UV filter or alcohol? Unfortunately, I have noticed this with several Asian sunscreens.

      Hey Tobias 🤗 Thank you for your detailed review 💗 It's great to hear that you like the consistency and the natural finish. SPF is such an important part of the skincare routine, so I understand it can be disappointing when the product doesn't quite suit your skin 🥰 If you would like tips on another sunscreen with a milder formula, feel free to reach out, we are happy to help ✨

    Smells good but not for long

    Smells really good. Unfortunately, the scent has disappeared within an hour despite taking 8-10 sprays of the perfume. I have Eau de toilette that smells longer than this, which is supposed to be “Eau de parfum.”

      Hey Tobias! So cool that you like the scent! 😃 A tip to make the scent last longer is to apply it on moisturized skin. It helps the scent stay longer. If you want, you can also try using an unscented body lotion before applying the perfume for an even better result. Hope that helps ✊ Have a nice day 🌞

    Good cream for dry skin that quickly becomes oily

    I have been looking for a day cream that doesn't give shine or feel greasy on my face for a long time. Unfortunately, many creams have made my skin really shiny throughout the day, or my skin hasn't felt sufficiently hydrated. I have acne-prone skin that easily feels tight but at the same time becomes oily during the day. I have now used this cream daily for about two weeks and am very satisfied! My skin feels really hydrated without becoming shiny. The cream absorbs quickly into the skin and doesn't feel greasy after application. I also feel that my skin feels more balanced and that I get fewer breakouts. I will definitely buy this product again!

      What a super tip! I have a bit of similar combination skin now in the summer and acne-prone areas. Propolis is supposed to be antibacterial! Does it still work as well, do you think?

    Absolutely not matte

    I had high hopes that this could be a good SPF for daily use. Unfortunately, it is way too shiny. It says on the packaging that it should be matte, but it is absolutely not. The positive thing is that the consistency is very light and that it doesn't irritate the eyes.
