Favorite sunscreen, moisturizing, no irritation, gentle around the eyes
Currently it is my favorite sunscreen. When it arrived the tube seemed small but it last for a good time with everyday use. It is moisturizing, not matting - for people with very oily skin it might not be the best choice. It is moisturizing enough to be a good choice if you are using retinoids. It is a physical sunscreen, the cast is there but it disappears after a short while (no idea how would it work with darker skin) and there is no irritation or stinging - even my very sensitive eyelids like this sunscreen. Other products such as serums and moisturizers can be layered under this product - the product doesn't roll off your skin. It is possible to apply it on slightly damp skin - which is the way I like to apply moisturizing products - however not many sunscreens can be applied in this way. It works ok with makeup on top of it, but my plan is to try using mattifying foundation with it to control the oily T-zone. The ingredients that made me want to try Soon Jung sunscreen: madecassoside (centella asiatica) that is supposed to help with healing, scars (also the healing of acne) and green tea extract as well as the absence of any fragrance and moisturizing formula since I'm using retinoids and need the extra hydration.

Great for not breaking out, and not harsh on skin, but still not perfect
I'm looking for a good sunscreen because I use benzoyl peroxide and tretinoin for my adult acne, which works but makes the skin vulnerable to the sun. I have to put sunscreen all the time now on my face, but sunscreens are usually more heavy duty than regular moisturizers. I'm looking for one that feels like regular moisturizer (doesn't leave residue, doesn't smell bad, no color change, non comedogenic, goes on smoothly/moisturize).This one doesn't break me out, but it does smell a little zinc y. Maybe it's good that it's not an added fragrance? It does leave a cast at first though disappears after absorption for me. It's not harsh on the skin like other chemical sunscreens. I think this one is a zinc oxide sunscreen.I can compare this one to Misshas essence sun milk one, and neutrogenas face sun screen SPF 50 (the most popular one atm). This one is way better than neutrogenas in that while they both don't give me acne, neutrogena definitely leaves a sunscreen residue, is dryer and makes my skin irritated sometimes (I feel neutrogena sunscreen has always been quite irritating for me though, even amongst other chemical sunscreens).I would like the Missha essence sun milk green sunscreen more than this one if it didn't break me out. Otherwise the Missha one goes on more smoothly, has a hydrating effect, and leaves no residue at all! So I can put more on after the 2 hours and won't form layers of grease/sunscreen residue. If it was non comedogenic then I would have found my perfect sunscreen

WHITE CAST GOES AWAY
I really liked this product, I got it the other day and I haven’t had any complications with my skin. I noticed that a lot of people were complaining about the white cast that it leaves, so that did worry me a bit because I do have a brown complexion. The white cast goes away though! It applies very thick, and can get in your eyebrows and hairline just fyi. But once it dries down and the white purplish cast goes away, the skin looks really nice and glowy! I also noticed that it doesn’t irritate my eyes or make them burn when I applied it, which usually happens with most sunscreens. So I think this is really effective for sensitive eyes and skin. I really enjoy this product! Would definitely recommend it.

Like most physical sunscreens, doesn't play well with other products.
I don't like tinted products on my clothing, I wanted something for neck, chest, hands, arms, and ideally face too. I really like other Soon Jung products. They work well for my very sensitive, rosacea, hive prone, hyper reactive skin. This doesn't irritate me. It's impossible to find purely physical sunscreens that work with any other products on my face. I don't have a problem with white cast, many are invisible once absorbed on my skin. BUT THE PILLING was bad with other products even waiting a long time between. Not any harder/easier to spread/absorb than other similar physical sunscreens. No better, no worse but not the holy grail. Probably wont use on face, might try with powder, mineral make up. If you are on the oily side, all this zinc is great, but for mature/dry/sensitive skin it is pretty brutal. If sensitivity is main concern, give it a try, if you are looking for the magic formula, this is much like the others I have tried.

Non-greasy sunscreen formula, no smell, doesn't leave me feeling oily or sticky
Very easy to use product. Spreads evenly across the skin. I almost felt like I was using a moisturizer.There is no sunscreen odor, no sticky, greasy, or oily feel after using like with most American sunscreens.I keep this in my bag for use while on the go, or for reapplication.I haven't tried using with makeup, but I'm sure it would layer nicely as this does feel almost like a moisturizer, just a little more tack.I will be definitely looking to repurchase when I've finished using this tube.My only wish is that for the amount I paid, I wish there was slightly more product.

white cast + greasy :(
I usually LOVE this brand, though the sunscreen isn't for me (and I don't recommend to any POC) the rest of the brand is really good! I have normal to dry skin in the winter and when i put this on I noticed a white cast + a light oil film. Don't get me wrong I love a dewy look, but this was not it for me. I'm going to try out the CANMAKE Mermaid Skin Gel UV 01. good luck!

temporary white cast, great protection
I'm a big fan of this sunscreen. After a few months of use, it has not irritated my skin or caused any breakouts, and I feel that if provides great sun protection. This sunscreen does leave a white cast, but in my experience it fades to nothing after a few minutes. That said, I do have light skin, so it might not fade as much on deeper skin tones. This isn't a thin sunscreen, but I don't think it is too thick. It rubs in pretty easily. I have combination skin, and it doesn't make my skin either oily or dry. It sits well under makeup. If you have sensitive skin, I think it's worth giving this product a try (as well as the other products in this range).

Guter Schutz, der weisselt
Gute Schutzwirkung und angenehm aufzutragen aber die Creme hinterlässt einen weissen Film auf der Haut und dieser kriecht in jede kleine Linie bzw. Pore.

Best sunscreen ever for my sensitive skin.
first time trying out this sunscreen and i'd say this is the best sunscreen for me. no breakouts or bad skin reactions after applying. I have super sensitive skin, tried few sunscreen products for sensitive skin sadly all of them causing redness and itchy rash after applying. Definitely going to repurchase Soon Jung in the future.
