After seven months, a user with rosacea and acne-prone skin who returned around 25 sunscreens finally tolerates the COSRX Aloe Soothing Sun Cream: super hydrating, no white cast and no irritation.
“SUPER hydrating. It can easily be used in place of a moisturizer, and it leaves my skin feeling baby soft and not heavy or greasy.”
Loves that it is a moisturizer with SPF and soothes their skin, helping when starting tret, though it can pill with too many layers.
“I love how it is a moisturizer and has SPF. It really does sooth my skin”
A dry-combination user in a cold, humid climate loves the COSRX Aloe Soothing Sun Cream: it goes on smoothly, doesn't pill and helps their skin through winter.
“Dry combination here where I live (whenever I travel to tropical areas it gets full combination) and I love it! It's quite smooth over my skincare, it does not pile”
An oily but dehydrated user says the COSRX Aloe Soothing Sun Cream is the best sun cream they have found and they struggle to replace it.

“I hate this so much! Pilled horribly under makeup.”
A user with combination sensitive skin rates the COSRX Aloe Soothing Sun Cream 3/5: it didn't break them out and helped redness, but turned oily in summer and stings near the eyes.
“It made my skin really oily after 30 min during the summer but for winter it might be better.”
A dry-skinned user with a deep skin tone found the COSRX Aloe Soothing Sun Cream sometimes pilled and left a slight blue cast rather than a white one.
“It didn’t leave a white cast but more like a slight blue cast? it definitely wasn’t invisible but I think that was only a problem for me because I have dark skin.”
A user loves the COSRX Aloe Soothing Sun Cream for everyday use because it is not heavy or oily.
“Not heavy, not oily, aloe scent. Love it for everyday”
A basic sunscreen that worked under makeup with no white cast, though the scent is heavy at first; wouldn't repurchase.

A user would skip the COSRX Aloe Soothing Sun Cream because it made their face extremely oily and the aloe scent was overwhelming.

A combination-to-dry user finds the COSRX Aloe Soothing Sun Cream hydrating but not heavy with no white cast and a herbal scent they love, though they only use it in the evening because of its low UVA rating.
“White cast? Nope Scent? Yes, herbal scent, love”
Favorite: no white cast, absorbs quickly and not expensive.
“Try cosrx aloe soothing sun cream, it's my favourite! No white cast, absorbs quick, also not expensive”
Still dewy and thicker, almost sticky/tacky, so they stopped using it because of sensory issues, though it is not greasy.
“I can't deal with using it anymore because of the sensory issues (it isn't very lightweight, but it doesn't feel greasy, just has a thicker almost sticky/tacky texture)”
A user with acne-textured skin calls the COSRX Aloe Soothing Sun Cream a holy grail: thicker with a matte-leaning finish, not drying, and sits better under makeup than Missha.

A longtime mineral sunscreen user made the COSRX Aloe Soothing Sun Cream their daily go-to: no eye stinging, a light texture and works well under makeup.
“No stinging. My eyes aren't bothered at all which surprised me.”
Among their favorite SPFs: both SPF50+, under $15 and lightweight, with no issues under makeup.
“Etude Sunprise Mild Watery Light and CosRx Aloe Soothing Sun Cream are my fave spfs to use. They're both SPF50+, under $15, and are lightweight.”
A sensitive user found the COSRX Aloe Soothing Sun Cream leaves no white cast but stings the eyes unbearably, has a lingering floral smell and turns foamy with sweat, so suits relaxed cold days.
“Stings eyes unbearably and continuously once it gets into them”

“but my dry, sensitive skin needs the moisture this sun cream provides in the winter”
A user who dislikes watery sunscreens was blown away by the COSRX Aloe Soothing Sun Cream: super hydrating enough to replace their lotion, smells amazing and has no real white cast.
“The sun cream is 50SPF, smells amazing, and is super hydrating.”
A user enjoyed the COSRX Aloe Soothing Sun Cream and finds it lives up to its name, but it is too rich for summer so they save it for cooler weather.
