What the gurus are saying

Gurus overwhelmingly praise this sunscreen for its lightweight, hydrating gel texture and elegant finish that works under makeup without feeling greasy. The consensus highlights it as exceptionally hydrating even for oily skin, with a signature dewy glow that most love but some find too shiny. One reviewer flagged the older-generation chemical filters as a potential concern for sensitive skin, and Hyram noted it leans toward combination to drier types, though others say it suits all skin types. The price point consistently impresses. Repeat purchases and frequent mentions signal genuine enthusiasm.

"Isntree Hyaluronic Acid Watery Tinted Sun Gel, it is part of the top 10 bestseller list. It's a chemical sunscreen using six filters. Some of these chemical filters are the older generation, so beware if you have sensitivities. It does have the watery gel texture like the name suggests. It feels really cooling and refreshing and breathable, but it does have quite a dewy finish that some folks love like I do, and some folks really hate. So be aware that it is very shiny in the finish."

"The hyaluronic acid watery sun gel is one of my favorite sunscreens of all time. It even works on my oily prone skin because it's actually hydrating. Oily skin can be dehydrated and I feel like this hydrates deep down. This does have hyaluronic acid but it goes on so beautifully and it actually keeps the skin moist. It doesn't have a tint, but if you're looking for intense hydration, this is it. And for 18 to 25 bucks, K Beauty has done it again. I've purchased so many of these that I am out now."

"It offers additional skin protection along with centella that can help to soothe and calm the skin, also contains ceramides that can help to nourish the skin moisture barrier. With that gel cream texture it absorbs really quickly and really elegant, leaves no white cast. This is a great one for anyone looking for a lightweight sunscreen to use daily, especially if you have more oily combination skin and enjoy that lightweight texture with a semi dewy to slightly dewy finish."

"The one that I'm using pretty obsessively at the moment right now is by Isntree, it is the Hyaluronic Acid Watery Sun Gel. It just feels like magic on the skin and it gives a little bit of a glow. It's deeply hydrating but it also sinks in very quickly. I find it is very forgiving, it works on every kind of skin type, and it is beautiful under makeup."

"This is the Isntree Hyaluronic Acid Watery Sun Gel, SPF 50 PA++++. I actually think this is my favorite sunscreen I've tried loads and I love them all but this is the one that I keep reaching for over and over and over again. It's lightweight but it's so silky, it just feels so lovely and it feels hydrating and my skin looks dewy but it's not too heavy, it's not too rich. It's very lightweight so if you don't like to wear sunscreen I think this might be one that would work for you. And it's as cheap as chips, it's not expensive. I keep going back to it. I think it's my favorite."
Approved
"The Isntree Hyaluronic Acid Watery Sun Gel is definitely a little bit more suited for combination to drier skin types. It still feels relatively lightweight on the skin but it does definitely boost that glow with the use of hyaluronic acid in the formula. It's such a nice hydrating formula. I've personally loved using this one when I've gone on planes where my skin needs a little bit more moisture or when I've been spending time in dry Colorado. It's a super good formula from an amazing brand, and if you're someone who has drier skin and still wants a very nice Korean sunscreen that does give you a little bit of extra moisture, I would definitely recommend this sunscreen."
Approved
"This is a Korean sunscreen that I adore. This is probably my third or fourth bottle of this. It's moisturizing but it's not greasy, it's lightweight, it works well under makeup. It's very lightweight, very hydrating formula with excellent filters. SPF 50 PA++++"

"This is a Korean sunscreen that I adore. This is probably my third or fourth bottle of this. It is hyped up but hyped up for a reason. It's moisturizing but it's not greasy. It's lightweight. It works well under makeup. SPF 50 PA++++. It's definitely a favorite."
Approved
"It's the Hyaluronic Acid Watery Sun Gel, an SPF 50+ PA++++, broad spectrum. We all know to find yourself a lightweight, non sticky, non greasy, non irritating, non eye stingy sunscreen like this one, but also one that gives you that kind of hydrating and moisturizing feeling. We have eight types of Hyaluronic Acid in here for real good hydration, Centella Asiatica as well to help soothe the skin, which I love for my easy, sensitized and rosacea prone skin. I apply SPF first thing in the morning, often in place of a moisturizer."
