How to use
For your face and neck, apply an appropriate amount at the end of your morning skincare routine and gently blend evenly. For your body, dispense a line directly from the container onto your skin and then use your palms to blend evenly. Using too little will result in insufficient UV protection. Reapply as needed after sweating or wiping with a towel. To remove, lather your regular cleanser well with a body towel and rinse thoroughly. ◇Be careful not to get it in your eyes. If it does get in your eyes, rinse immediately. ◇After use, wipe the opening of the container thoroughly and always close the cap tightly. ◇If your skin rubs against clothing or car seats after application, white marks may remain on your clothing. ◇If it gets on your clothing, wash it immediately with detergent. ◇Take care not to get it on furniture, small items, nail polish, leather products, etc. It may cause discoloration or damage. ◇Keep out of reach of children. ◇Do not store in direct sunlight or high temperatures. ◇Be careful of fire. *The SPF and PA indications on the product are the results of applying 2 mg per 1 cm2 of skin, which is the application amount specified in the international SPF test method.

I thought this might be good for winter, so I'm using it. It gives a matte finish. It looks great even when layered with liquid foundation. In fact, perhaps because it contains less alcohol, it doesn't sting and pores are covered, making it look beautiful. It also has a white/blue tone-up effect. It has a thick texture. It doesn't feel rough. Applying it to your neck prevents your face from looking white. When you apply makeup, it gives you a fluffy, foggy finish, which might actually be beautiful. I've been using the 50 all year, but the alcohol sometimes stings my eyes, so I think this is better for winter. It's also safe for my first-grade child. It doesn't cause any irritation. It does slightly tone up my child's skin. It supposedly comes off with soap, but I use a cleanser every day. I wash my child gently with body soap, swirling a little. Honestly, I'm not sure if it removes makeup exactly, but judging by the color of his skin, it seems fine.
I have sensitive skin. This product didn't really suit me. It also leaves my face white, so I won't use it.
I use it every day because I work indoors. It has a firm texture and feels like it covers my skin. It matches my skin well, so I mix it with my liquid foundation to improve its adhesion.
It's non-sticky so it's easy to use
The product I used before was sticky, but this one is smooth and seems like it can be used all year round.
