I GIVE THIS A 10/10! I use it everyday and skincare is so so important! SUNCREEEN IS A MUST! I would say sunscreen is one of the most important steps in skincare routine! This one is my fave! DONT LET THE SIZE FOOL YOU! Ik it may seem small but this last a while for “a small size” but it’s just an illusion there is so much product in the tube! Love this so much I use under my makeup as well. Highly recommend this!

I got a compliment on my skin the first time I wore this sunscreen. It is very moisturizing and has a nice blurring effect. I don’t wear makeup or tinted sunscreen, so this makes my skin look great!

UV Essence waterfull+ SPF+ sun cream is my recent discovery and by far is the best spf coverage for the face! Korean nanotechnology leaves your skin gently moisturized and adds a beautiful glow to your daily makeup. The skin looks healthy and this layer is weightless and hypoallergenic. I use it twice a day while driving to and from work and continue buying this product whenever I can. Strongly recommend!

I have tried a lot of Korean sunscreens. For reference, I have dry sensitive skin. This one is good, but not the best.It has a thicker and oilier consistency, and feels a bit sticky on the skin. It also has a light scent, which disappears quickly but I prefer my sunscreens completely unscented (they exist!).My holy grail sunscreen was the Missha sun milk which was sadly discontinued. Still on the hunt for my new fave!

Not good. Was really hoping to Love this especially with all the insta reviews but it's surprisingly drying and it pills!!! Does not blend well at all. I always do my sunscreen that's a very lost step of my routine. I think I have pretty healthy hydrated skin. Wait it five minutes after my moisturizer to put this on and it just did not blend well in many areas and pilled causing little flakes on my face from the sunscreen and or my moisturizer. I had to wash my face all over again and start my entire morning routine all over again. Annoying and a bummer. Have to return it now.

I’ve been using this product for the last week. In all honesty, I didn’t expect much when ordering it. But because the price was so reasonable ($14), I decided to give it a try. I’m so glad I did!Prior to this, I’d never found a facial product with a high SPF that I truly liked. They either felt thick & heavy on my skin -OR- left my face with a white cast from the zinc oxide. This product has SPF 50 — so you can feel good about the sun protection — but it doesn’t leave your skin ghostly white.Most importantly, it doesn’t feel thick on my face. Instead, it feels nourishing & blends in beautifully. It has rapidly become my favorite product!! And using sunscreen on my face is no longer something I dread & can’t wait to wash off.I just hope they don’t get so many fabulous reviews that they start raising the price or selling out! 😉

I used the old version of both Mild and Tone Up sunscreens, the ones that are made for Korean market. Now that they are reformulated for US markets, I'm super disappointed. I'm going to break down for each sunscreen.Also, both old versions were called Sun Cream, and the new ones have Sunscreen on the tube, If you need to see the difference visually just by looking at the packaging.MILD MINERAL VERSION:The old version had only titanium dioxide which I didn't like, cause I like also having zinc oxide for better protection from the sun. But the old version was very hydrating and left my skin glowing for the whole day. And I have dry skin, so I enjoyed having that healthy glowing look, and people always commented how hydrated my skin looked.The new formula has changed, and it has 19% of zinc oxide now, which did make me happy before I ordered it. I was hoping it still had the same glow but with different sunscreen filters, but I was very wrong. The sunscreen became just one of many similar Korean sunscreens that is thicker than it used to be, though it goes on easily, takes some time to absorb. If you have fair skin like me, it won't leave any obvious white cast. If you have darker skin, I think it might leave some white cast because it has so much zinc oxide now. Initially it leaves your skin with a satin look, definitely not glowing. I was hoping the satin look will stay for the rest of the day, but it only lasted for an hour or so. And now my skin looks matte. It doesn't look dry in an unhealthy way, but it has no glow whatsoever. I think there are other Korean products for dry skin that contain zinc oxide but still give you a healthy glow, though nothing gave me that glow that I had with the older version.TONE UP HYBRID VERSION:I'm bummed that they changed it. The older one was also a hybrid like the new one, but it applied like a dream, didn't leave any white cast, just added some pink look for a while until it absorbed, and then it just looked normal. It also kept my skin hydrated and glowing for the whole day. I got so scared that the mild version has been reformulated, that I went ahead and ordered a few tubes of the pink one. Well, you know what? They changed it too!!! Now they changed all Korean filters to American ones, and the sunscreens are totally ruined. The pink one goes on like a white paste, it leaves my skin white, my dry skin looks terrible with super large flakes coming off if I didn’t prep with lots of moisturizer and facial oil. The old version acted like a moisturizer in itself. The new one gives some glow but not comparable to the previous version. The white cast is serious with this one. If you get it close to your hairline, the white will not go away. With time the whiteness will absorb somewhat, but I still look pale. I’m not sure what the point of this tone up effect is now that it just makes me look whiter than I am. And forget about trying to reapply during the day. I looked like a Kabuki theater actor after the second layer, it’s that Japanese white-powdered-face theater if you want to look it up. One layer - somewhat tolerable, more than one - forget it. And I have fair skin, too.If you're coming from some horrible American sunscreen to this, you still might be impressed, but if you're comparing the old version with this one, that's not the same product.MY VERDICT ON BOTH VERSIONS:Can’t use them and have to order from Korea directly if I want to get the old version, because I got spoiled with the original formulas. These ones are very mediocre and just like other American sunscreens minus the bad SPF smell, these still smell citrusy. If I wanted an American sunscreen, I’d buy one, but I want true Korean ones, which these ones are not anymore. I understand they had to comply with the outdated US sunscreen regulations (that haven’t been updated in decades) to be able to sell officially in US markets, but there’s a reason why Korean formulas are superior to everything else. Now they are not anymore, sadly.

Perfect for days when I want minimal makeup. It evens out my skin tone and keeps it moisturized
