Everyone says this sunscreen is gentle and hydrating, and I totally agree.
It applies nicely, and even though it’s a chemical sunscreen, it didn’t irritate my skin at all.
Also, there are several test results listed on the Korean product detail page, but not on the global site which I found disappointing.
So I’m sharing the test results from the Korean site here!
There’s been a lot of talk in Korea about the reliability of SPF claims, but this product has been tested by the Korea Dermatology Research Institute and confirmed for its sun protection factor.
That kind of reliability is really important when it comes to sunscreen.
And since I mentioned how gentle it is, you probably already know it contains Heartleaf Extract, which has a soothing effect. There's a clinical test result for that as well.
The product underwent a skin-soothing test for external irritation at a clinical trial center, and it showed actual improvement.
When I used the sunscreen myself, I felt a mild cooling and calming effect, it helped reduce the redness I was experiencing.
There’s even a test for the cooling effect!
And again, since it contains Heartleaf, you can expect a soothing effect and yes, it’s also been tested for use on sensitive skin and passed the skin irritation test.
Plus, it’s vegan-certified!
That’s it for the objective test results now let me continue with the actual review.
Based on all those clinical claims, I put it to the test on my own sensitive skin and here's what I found.
I needed a sunscreen that wouldn't further irritate my already reactive skin.
After carefully reviewing the ingredients and test data, I decided to give this one a shot and I’m so glad I did.
What surprised me most was the lack of white cast.
Yes, mineral sunscreens are often recommended for sensitive skin, but I find the chalky residue unbearable.
That’s why I went with this chemical formula and it paid off.
It gave my skin a natural glow without any greyness, and my cushion makeup actually sat better than usual.
There was no stinging, no eye irritation, and even when I started to sweat, my skin remained hydrated and calm.
This genuinely felt like a moisturizing sunscreen, not just a protective layer.
It’s lightweight, refreshing, and absorbs quickly without stickiness.
For a chemical sunscreen, the texture is impressive, more like a watery lotion than a greasy cream.
If you’re looking for a gentle yet reliable chemical sunscreen with clinically proven calming and cooling benefits, this one’s worth trying ,especially for those with combo or reactive skin types.
While it might not have the global fanfare of some big-name K-beauty sunscreens, Goodal’s formulation stands out for its clean finish, skin-soothing ingredients, and verifiable test results.
I’ll definitely be keeping this in my rotation.
