Tinted SPF | Missha Time Revolution White Cure SPF50+/PA+++

Per usual, Korean skincare products tend to have a pleasant scent which may irritate those with really sensitive skin.

This tinted SPF is kind of greasy feeling and leaves a dewy finish, which is probably nice if you have dry skin. I have combination skin, and I feel like just powdering it alone doesn't keep down the oily look.

I bought a bunch of Missha products when they had a 40% off sale a while back. Apparently their essence is similar to SK II in some way. I've had people tell me it doesn't do anything, but the other products in their skin care line intrigued me.

I've been using the White Cure serum on my freckles and the Clear Toner as a toner pretty much every day. Not sure if I see a difference yet but here's hoping

Another product I use literally every day

One of my favorite skin care products to try is sunscreen. This one is lightweight and slightly moisturizing. In the winter it's not moisturizing enough to use by itself, but in the summer it's perfect, esp if I use a moisturizing serum beforehand.

When I first started using it I thought it helped my skin produce less oil, but after using it for a while I don't notice that effect anymore. I do think this is a good base for makeup, it has no white cast but it doesn't help with my huge pores, so a primer helps a lot.

I love this SPF the most because I can just put it on in one step, instead of a moisturizer then SPF.

The only thing I'm iffy about is I can't tell if the sun protection is really effective. My face rarely gets sunburnt, but over the last year I noticed I've gotten a lot of freckles on the tops of my cheeks. Maybe it's genetics or it comes with aging, maybe I don't reapply enough throughout the day. 

I have other sunscreens to try out after I finish this one, but if I don't find anything better, I can see this being a staple in my skincare
