Korean Skincare Sample Reviews Part 6 Feat Sunscreens

I had completely forgotten I got sunscreen samples a long time ago with a purchase. I was too afraid of trying them back then! But better now than never before they all go bad.

* Tried 5? samples

* Scent light, a bit like citrus and glue

* White cream

* Zero white cast, absorbs easily

* I don't feel that this one would be moisturizing really

* Leaves skin shiny, but not as shiny/greasy as Tonymoly My Sunny All in One.

* Started to pill when I tried to apply liquid highlighter on top.

* Quite pleasant sunscreen overall! If you are not planning on using makeup on top. I guess good for those lazy days at home? Easy to put on, easy to wash off. Didn't even burn my eyes because it's not hot and I wasn't sweating at all. Didn't notice any new breakouts other than usual.

* Tried 1 sample

* My sample must be expired despite the expiration date being 2020

* This sunscreen looks like light cream when I googled, but my sample was more like grainy gel, must have separated

* Scent of expired sample is fresh and light, I like it

* When I tried it on my hand it left a glowy sheen

* Zero white cast

* Discontinued item so maybe even pointless to make myself a note of this one!

* Tried 1 sample

* Expiration is also 2020, but sample seems to be ok

* The same light and fresh, maybe slightly sweet scent as the other The Face Shop sunscreen

* Tinted beige

* Regular cream consistency, feels nourishing though

* Leaves a white cast like you would expect when there's Zinc Oxide. I assume there's about 1 ml of product in one sample sachet and I put it all on. If I would put on less, like 0,5 ml of product, I believe I wouldn't have a white cast issue, but then I also wouldn't have that much sun protection.

* Leaves some sheen on skin, satin like finish. Hides imperfections, blurs skin. I quite like the finish. At the end of the day my face was matte. But I had developed 2 new small pimples.

* I could consider using this sunscreen again. I had never really looked into TFS products before.

* Tried 2 samples

* Perfume scent, but not bad or suffocating, quite strong

* Ever so slightly pink tinted

* Regular cream consistency

* Feels moisturizing

* Leaves my skin shiny and greasy

* When I dumped everything in the sample sachet (1 ml?) on my face, I was surprised how strong the white cast was in the beginning, considering there is no Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide is also a bit lower on the list! I had to rub it in a lot and in the end there was still a white cast, but minimal - I have no idea how much cream got rubbed off into my hands etc. When I used the second sample half and half, it was nice with no white cast and no need to rub in for a long time but still greasy.

* During the day I had developed 3 new small pimples.
