If you can only use one beauty product for the rest of your life, you should always pick sunscreen. Sunscreen acts as a shield for premature ageing and skin cancer. Everyone should be wearing sunscreen except for babies under the age of 6 months for their skin are too sensitive. This mean, you should still put on sunscreen on a cloudy day for up to 80% of the sun's rays can still pass through clouds.
However, sometimes putting on sunscreen can be annoying for you may feel a thick and sticky layer of product on your face. That is where Face Republic's Purity Sun Essence comes to the rescue.
Face Republic X Changha, Purity Sun Essence SPF 50+++
In collaboration with Jeon Changha, a Korean model, influencer and TikTok Sensation, Face Republic have created a sun essence that protects your skin from the glaring sun.
The Purity Sun Essence is a suncare essence was developed from a non-nano technology that maximizes the of a physical sunscreen. This essence provides a lightweight layer of protection that blocks the UVA and UVB rays from our skin.

Face Republic X Changha, Purity Sun Essence SPF 50+ Review
The Sun Essence was cool and light when applied. It has a fresh wooden smell to it that diminishes over time. I enjoy the woody scent for new wooden furniture excites me.
When the sun essence is spread, you can see it disintegrating like liquid being spread out over a table. It was an interesting sight to observe. The sun essence dispersed easily plus, my skin absorbed it quickly. I like how it slightly glistered under the light while it was absorbing. Once it was taken in by my skin entirely, it does not feel thick nor sticky. It felt light and it did not leave a white cast on my skin as well.
Final Thoughts of Face Republic X Changha, Purity Sun Essence SPF 50+++
Face Republic's Purity Sun Essence is a great light-weighted everyday sun protection product if you are looking for a sunscreen that does not turn you white. It absorbs quickly, is not sticky after absorption and it is suitable for all skin types including sensitive skin types. The product is also lean and thin making it easily portable for one to reapply the sun essence throughout the day.
If you are wondering is it necessary to reapply sunscreen every few hours, here's the reason why. In my recent adventures to St John's island, I did an experiment where I applied sunscreen to my whole leg in the morning and only reapplied the area around my knee cap at noon for it felt hot. By the end of the day, my leg looks like a zebra. With this experiment, this shows that you should always reapply sunscreen to prevent sunburn.
