This sunscreen is wonderful in every way. t’s gentle on my sensitive skin, applies smoothly, and absorbs quickly without leaving any greasy residue. The scent is light and pleasant, not overpowering at all.I also love that it provides strong sun protection while giving my face a subtle tone-up effect, which brightens my complexion nicely.I will definitely repurchase this product!

I have the one that’s pinkish. It has both chemical and physical sunscreens in it, which is great.However, it does leave a whitish cast. It fades a smidge but not much. It works well under my makeup, and even though it leaves a cast, it has a nice finish and glow.

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, and was very hydrating and left my skin glowing for the whole day. And I have dry skin, so I enjoyed having that healthy hydrated look.The new formula has changed, and it has 19% of zinc oxide now. 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, but 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 at first, but by the evening my skin starts drying out and flaking more than usual. 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 clown with white paint on my face. 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 had to order from Korea directly to get the original version. Thankfully, it’s still available there. Just make sure you’re buying from Korea, I made a mistake and ordered from Yesstyle, and didn’t realize they were in China. They sent me this American version instead of what I paid for, which was the Korean formula shown in their photos. Still fighting to get my money back, but they are refusing and claim it’s the exact same product but in a different packaging. Horrible experience. I got spoiled with the original formulas, and 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.

I like the way it feels and it makes my skin very soft. But as a woman of color, it will leave a white cast on your skin. It works. If I’m gonna wear make up I like to use it, but I will not wear it if I don’t have any makeup on because the cast is too white.
