EUNYUL Daily Care Fresh Sunscreen Pump Version
Works for
Sun protectionSPF 46 · 6 UV filtersBroad spectrum
This product offers a good level of protection against both UVB and UVA rays.
This sunscreen uses organic (so-called "chemical") sunscreen filters. Organic, or "chemical" filters usually provide reliable sun protection and rarely leave a white cast. Sunscreens with organic filters can sting eyes.
Anti-agingHyaluronic acidWorks well
“wrinkle improvement”
This product can help prevent early signs of skin aging because it offers a good level of broad spectrum sun protection. Sun damage is the main cause of premature skin aging, and protecting your skin from the sun is the best anti-aging strategy.
Evens skin toneDipotassium glycyrrhizateWorks well
“brighten complexion”
This product offers broad spectrum sun protection. It means that it can prevent hyperpigmentation and help keep the skin tone even (sun damage is the main factor causing age spots, darkening of post-acne marks and other discolorations).
MoisturizingSide benefit the brand mentions · Glycerin, Dimethicone + 11 moreWorks
“hydrates skin with two kinds of hyaluronic acid”
This product can help improve hydration of the skin with the two types of ingredients.
The first type is called “humectants”:
these ingredients help attract water.
When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from
within deeper layers of the skin. The following ingredients in this product do the job:
glycerin, hyaluronic acid.
This product also contains ingredients called “occlusives”. They help reduce the speed with which our skin loses moisture to the outside environment. These ingredients also help soften the upper layer of the skin, so it feels less tight and nicer to the touch. The following ingredients in this product do the job: dimethicone, isohexadecane.

So this product is not my favorite, however it does have some benefits.
It does have Niacinamide and Adenosine so if you’re looking for skin brightening and anti aging benefits on your body, it’s a decent choice for days that you’re going in and out of the house a couple of times or sitting near a window.
However, I wouldn’t use this as a sunscreen if you’re going to be outside for a good part of the day as the sun protection isn’t the strongest.
It has a faint minty scent that smells a bit old fashioned but not unpleasant and not something anyone other than yourself would notice.
I like the price point and the fact that it’s in a 10 Oz pump bottle.
It does pill, if you wear other lotion with it or if you rub it too much.
I don’t use it on my face. Only my arms and hands when I’m out running a couple of errands. I don’t hate it but am not sure if I’d repurchase it.

Product summary
The ingredient list suggests that "EUNYUL - Daily Care Fresh Sunscreen Pump Version" can provide reliable sun protection. We love that it can protect from both UVA and UVB rays (not all sunscreens with SPF ratings give UVA protection. UVA rays do not cause sunburn, but still damage our skin and lead to early aging).
It contains good moisturizing ingredients and can double as a hydrating day cream. This product prevents early signs of aging by protecting against sun damage (all broad spectrum sunscreens do that).
Sunscreen filters
This sunscreen uses so-called "chemical", or organic UV filters (organic simply means that their molecules contain atoms of carbon). These filters typically give good sun protection and rarely leave a white cast, but they can be irritating for sensitive skin. These are the sun protection ingredients in this sunscreen: tinosorb s 2.00% - 2.50%, avobenzone 2.50% - 3.10%, butyloctyl salicylate 1.20% - 1.40%, octinoxate 6.30% - 7.70%, octisalate 3.60% - 4.40% and homosalate 4.50% - 5.50%.
