What the gurus are saying

This sunscreen's lightweight, quick-absorbing formula with no white cast works especially well for those with oily and combination skin. The formula combines onion extract, niacinamide, and calming ingredients designed particularly for blemish-prone skin, though anyone can benefit from it. It applies beautifully under makeup with a light, slightly matte finish and provides effective sun protection against redness, freckles, and visible tanning.

"It's so elegant and it's so light. It doesn't look greasy, it's not tacky. I love this one. It hasn't gotten me red or freckled, they're tanned using this one at all. It works great under foundation and makeup. It seems to be geared towards dry sensitive skin types. It's very nice. I prefer this one. If you tried their other onion sunscreen, it's got the sad sad filters in there. A lot of people liked it, nothing wrong with that, but this one's much better in terms of filters in my opinion. The full size is 50ml, 1.7oz, and retails for about 18 bucks so it's affordable. My only slight issues were it being made in Korea, which is still kind of a thorn in my side, and there are a few acneic ingredients in this one. Otherwise it's really nice overall."

"I like it better than the other few sunscreens based just on first impressions. I like it better but that doesn't say much because I've only used it once so we'll see, but for the first impressions I feel like it feels nice, no pilling, feels like it soaks in pretty nicely."

"This is the Isntree Onion Newpair Sunscreen SPF 50+ PA++++. I'm actually wearing it today underneath my BB cream. I really like this stuff. It's really nice, it's really light, has a nice natural slightly matte finish. Works nicely under makeup. I'm really really impressed with this stuff so far."

"The biggest drawback I think for people that don't want to purchase this is they think it's going to smell like an onion and it's not noticeable at all, it has no scent whatsoever. They also have another version of their onion sunscreen cream that uses US filters, I wasn't impressed with it, I didn't even purchase it. I don't like US filters, they're depressing and sad and we could be so much better in filters. But this one has five chemical filters: Avobenzone, Octinoxate, Avobenzone, Polysilicone-15, and Titanium Dioxide. This one pretty much has really nice UVA protection. It's got a nice liquid texture, some people find it challenging to apply a liberal amount, but for some reason in these fluid products I find it much easier to apply it liberally because they soak in so fast. I would say this one's great for normal to dry skin. For oilier skin, if you set it with powder I think you'll be okay, but it does get a little bit shiny throughout the day. If you set it with powder it won't be as big of a deal."

"Onion is a strong ingredient, it has a pungent smell, a very spicy flavor. It might sting a little, but I don't know if that's because I just applied so many things to my skin. Overall, nice though. I like it. It is nice. It's actually a decent sunscreen too. I just find it super fascinating their dedication to this onion and the yam and the whatever other very deep vegetable roots they're now delving into."

"This is the sunscreen we have been waiting for. It's Isntree's onion line, which is absolutely one of my favorite lines from them, and it's made with those new K-beauty filters, that newer formula, although for some reason it has Tinosorb M instead of Tinosorb S, which I thought might make me dislike it. Then I tried it, and no, it is fantastic. It has this incredible lightweight feel, sinks in rapidly, and doesn't leave behind a white cast on my skin. It does have Tinosorb M so this may not be true for everyone, but it applies beautifully and sits fantastically under makeup, with a little bit of a dewy look on its own. The full formula includes onion extract, niacinamide, and some soothing and calming ingredients, which makes it a sunscreen designed in particular for oily and combination skin types, although everyone can use it, and for blemish-prone skin. I'm really happy with it, it's the sunscreen I hoped they would come out with originally."

"It's Isntree's purple protector Onion Newpair sunscreen. The interesting thing is this is an SPF 50+ PA++++ with US-approved filters, so you're not going to get international filters in this one, but it is an international brand. It's a combination of titanium and a bunch of different chemical filters. The onion bulb extract is a K-beauty ingredient that can improve the appearance of post-surgical scars, so if you're somebody who has a fresh scar on your face or fresh acne scars, the actual onion bulb extract can help improve the appearance of your scars. It has supposedly antibacterial and antifungal properties to help reduce the look of acne. The purple color of the sunscreen itself does blend in over time as you rub it in; it eventually disappears. There might be a light cast in the beginning but it does disappear."
