I try to mark the sunscreen ingredients in red and other possible irritants in lilac. Learning as I go, google is my friend etc...
Thoughts:
- Smells strongly like plastic or some cleaning product and it lingers
- Feels like it leaves a film on face, I can feel it throughout the day
- Leaves very slightly sticky, shiny-ish skin (but not greasy)
- Leaves a noticeable white cast
- Thick paste, thickest of all sunscreens I have tried so far for my face
- Needs quite a lot of care to pat it into skin
- Just overall not a pleasant product
+ Didn't break me out (physical sunscreen) EDIT: A bit pore clogging though if on my face for longer than 10 hrs
+ Actually skin felt quite calm when/after using it
+ Sticks to skin like glue, I can't sweat it off (even washing it off takes time)
+ The ingredients are not turning up any red flags for irritations, acne or safety
+ Actually works really nicely under make-up! Didn't pill and nothing separated or moved during the day.

* I kept comparing Etude House's Sunprise Mild Perfect Relief to Tosowoong Soft Touch I used earlier, they both are physical sunscreens, cost about the same (Soft Touch slighly more because the tube is only 45 ml), leave the same kind of white cast and slightly sticky skin, but Soft Touch feels more moisturizing, is easier to spread to skin, doesn't smell so bad, and doesn't feel like there's a film all day. Etude House is however more calming sunscreen.
* Still, Mild Perfect Relief is not a bad product, don't get me wrong, I am going to use it to the end now that I have it and it's not causing my skin to react in any negative way.
* However I think I use it only on the days I'm at home or for a jog outside, for a normal day I would have to put so much foundation to hide the whiteness and my face would feel like it has a plastic cover.
Price:
10.18 USD / 50 ml
Bought from:
Jolse
Buy again?
No. (Maybe if I need a primer and all other primers break me out.)
Worth the money?
Only if this is the only product that doesn't make you break out. The white cast, plastic smell and feel and thickness - yikes. There are lots of other sunscreens in the same price range and I would think there are many that are more comfortable to use.
EDIT in March 2018: Now that I have finally finished Mild Perfect Relief, I can appreciate it in a different way. No, I still don't like it as a sunscreen, but if you think it as a primer with SPF, it's great. It works with every foundation I have, it smoothes the skin, looks quite natural, lasts all day. Dries 5 minutes tops and you're ready to add make-up. The only catch is that you apply it a very thin layer and pat it very evenly. You still can "feel" the layer on your skin but it's not that suffocating. Even the thin layer leaves the white cast, but it's ok because I will add the foundation. So, it's worth it as a primer and used like that, lasts forever! However a real primer probably works better, but it all depends on the product.
