ETUDE Sunprise Mild Weightless Watery Light Texture SPF50+/PA+++ 1.7 fl. Oz (50ml) (21AD) | Light Moisturizing Sunblock for Sensitive Skin | Korean Skin Care

I’ve always worn a mineral sun block because most chemical sunscreens are always too greasy to wear with foundation. IDecided to try this Korean sunscreen and glad I did. It vanishes into my skin and you can wear it before or after moisturizer, then my foundation. It doesn’t make it oxidize and it’s certainly not drying. I started out with the Sunrise mineral Mild Airy Finish, but it was a little too drying on my winter skin. I now use it just on my oily T zone, and use this on the rest of my face. Do a little research and you can see Korean sunscreens have different ingredients, also they have an spf of 50 rather than 30 which prevents my age spots from popping out and darkening. Wish they had an option for a bigger tube though.

Love this sunscreen. It has a lovely fresh scent and is non greasy. It is a little irritating to my sensitive eyes, so I am careful not to get it too close to my eyeballs lol. My favorite use for it is on my hands, and neck! It's the perfect level of moisture. Like a lightweight hand cream. I keep it in the car for driving.

—Love, doesn’t have white cast—so hard to find in a mineral spf—must get the tube (“mild watery light”) formula Vs the other (“mild airy finish”) by the same name, different formula, and hard container with white top—the other one (mild airy finish) makes makeup look awful and cakey if you have anything past a medium complexion (but is fine on bare skin on makeup free days, even slightly blurs pores, on medium, Asian brown skin)—found that (looking awful under makeup) out the hard way, in my pics from a special occasion/anniversary dinner—great protection, meets all the requirements by Korean skincare Re: PABA++++ and UVA/UVB rating—can’t read any of the Korean writing but I’m choosing to trust it only bc of Gothamista (youtuber, skincare “expert”) many years ago (2017-18?) and bc my skin hasn’t showed sun damage to the naked eye (I’m a woman in my 40’s)—I have my pre-teen and my teen daughter using it since they were very young—have recommended it to MANY fam/friends—I use high end skincare but to use spf as generously as is needed to be healthy, this price point is the most sustainable for a family—used to use elta MD, Supergoop, Color Science, Kate Somerville, & a few others before and those are reasonably priced if it’s just me using it but I found that this is much more reasonable if you go through a tube every 2-3 weeks with a family—like it better/less messy than another recommended spf that’s in a small glass bottle, tinted, blurs pores, and name starts with an “M” but can’t recall rn—I have it in subscribe and save, delivered every 2 weeks since 3 ppl use it in our household, plus my hubby (when I bug him enough to)

Me gusta mucho usarlo ya que no deja la piel grasosa, ni blanca pero creo que lo recomendable es usar una crema hidratante antes de aplicarlo a la piel ya que a la larga reseca un poco el cutis. Pero en general cumple su funcion.

So, I bought this on a whim. I didn’t know what to expect, however I like to buy watery-type sunscreens.Face: Oily T-Zone and a dry outer layerMy routine:Cleanse, Toner, Barrier Repair by Krave Beauty (2 pumps for whole face and I spread a little less on the oily part), Moisturizer (COSRX Snail Mucin and I switch to Kraves Oat Water Cream), and lastly sunscreen.This sunscreen works quite well. It goes on and spreads easily. I have no problems with it setting and becoming greasy looking. It drys to a nice finish that isn’t matte, but also isn’t too glows via my routine.The only con I think is that if you hold the bottle up to the light it definitely is not full. It is like a little less than half full. So, I’d recommend getting a body sunscreen and using that on your neck and ears and the back of your neck. I’d only use for this for face since you don’t get so much.I don’t wear make up at all, but my coworker switched to this sunscreen and uses it as a primer/setting and it works great under make up.She has sensitive dry skin.Anyway, hope this review helps somebody.—————————————Update:5/8/2023So, I still use this sunscreen but Krave Beauty actually came out with their own sunscreen and it has worked absolutely wonderfully. I really recommend the Krave Beauty one beyond compare.This sunscreen by Etude does make my skin feel a bit tight by the end of the day but when paired with an oil it mixes well and it looks Dewey but Krave Beauty’s does that normally.

I thought this was a mineral sunscreen when I bought it and looked into it when it just seemed too good to be true. It turns out it does contain 4 chemical UV filters (Ethylhexyl Triazone, Terephthalylidene Dicamphor Sulfonic Acid, Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate, and Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine), but these are different from the chemical sunscreens used in the US. American chemical sunscreens give me hives, but the mineral ones are white, heavy, sticky, etc. This glides on smoothly, disappears immediately, doesn't feel greasy at all, and doesn't give me even a hint of a rash. It does have a fragrance which seems strong if you're not used to that, but it fades.I thought I'd never be able to wear chemical sunscreen again. Thanks, Korea!

Several years ago, I read that the best sun screen to purchase is from Korea. You never see a Korean sunburned. I have been using this moisturizer since then. Satisfied that it works, no oily residue, no staining, no fragrance, no sticky after hours on my face, and it mixes well with foundation. If you are in water, will need to re-apply.
