How to use
Take an appropriate amount in your hand and gently apply evenly to your face and body (a rough guideline for the appropriate amount: approximately 1 cm in diameter for the face, and adjust accordingly for the body). Apply small amounts in several doses. Using too little will not provide sufficient UV protection. To maintain sunscreen effectiveness, reapply after wiping off sweat. To remove, wash thoroughly with your usual cleanser (face wash, makeup remover, etc. for the face, and body cleanser, etc. for the body).

I use this on days when I'm not wearing makeup. It has a firm texture so it's not easy to apply, but it's not sticky or shiny, and I like the clean packaging design.
I use this on my children who have sensitive skin. At first, I thought it was white, but it spread quickly and blended in. It's also very moisturizing and doesn't dry out the skin. I'm not sure about its sunscreen effect, but I feel comfortable using it.

It's moisturizing and doesn't dry out my skin until the evening, so I can use it without any problems. So far, my acne hasn't gotten worse. It's fragrance-free and has SPF 30, which I appreciate. It also brightens my face when I apply it, which I like. It's a good value for the money, so I apply it generously to my face as sunscreen!!
I usually use Minon's Bright Up Base when I'm at home. My skin has been getting a lot of redness lately, and the Bright Up base makes it more noticeable, so I switched to this. The texture is neither too runny nor too hard. It's white. It's not powdery, and after application, it feels more moisturizing than soufflé-like. After thoroughly moisturizing, I apply about one pearl-sized amount to half my face. Since rubbing it in can be a bit harsh, I use my fingers to pat it on. It feels like it really brightens my skin. It's not too white, though. It doesn't provide much coverage or correction. I lightly apply concealer to problem areas, and a little powder on my nose, which gets oily over time. I've recently been using this as point makeup when I go out. I like how it's non-irritating. Unless I want a super-perfect look, this is all I need. I'll definitely buy it again.
