What the gurus are saying

No white cast is the detail these takes keep coming back to, and many praise how easily it spreads without stinging. However, the finish splits opinion, with some loving the dewy glow and others finding it heavy on the face. Caution comes up for sensitive skin, since its chemical filters can cause reactions in some people, while the built-in cap helps you measure the right amount.

"It [...] doesn't have all the filters you might get in a sunscreen [...] bought from Korea, but this formula is amazing. It's super lightweight, very hydrating, not greasy, and doesn't burn or sting around the eyes. It's SPF 50 and water resistant for 80 minutes. [...] It's one of the best facial sunscreens that has come out in the past couple of years in the US market. As far as the aesthetics and performance, it looks great, it's easy to apply, and it doesn't sting for me at least."

I Used Up 10 Sunscreens — Here’s What I’d Actually Buy Again
"It's a thicker cream, but the spread is very efficient. It doesn't take a lot of effort to spread it on and easy to tolerate around the eyes. No burning, no stinging. Feels just like you're putting moisturizer on. Easy to apply liberally. It's actually water resistant, which I really like, especially for humidity."

"It's easy, breezy to apply. It's very hydrating, but it's not greasy or oily. It doesn't leave a shine on the skin. It withstood the Houston summer humidity for me without running into my eyes blinding me. [...] Great as a facial moisturizer but great as a broadspectrum sunscreen. It does have niacinamide which I love in sunscreens because niacinamide offers a lot good for dark spots, redness, the moisture barrier, warding off glycation, oxidative stress."

"I am a fan of the Anua Zero Cast sunscreen. It's a chemical sunscreen with as the name implies no white cast. It's very moisturizing. It's not greasy. It's not shiny and it has niacinamide. So your morning dose of niacinamide in your sunscreen. As a reminder, sunscreen is in a moisturizing base. So that too is going to help with reducing water loss, keeping the skin hydrated."
The Truth About These Trending Skincare Must-Haves
"It's a nice hydrating, moisturizing, fragrance-free, chemical sunscreen that's water resistant. [...] It has a very dewy finish. It feels a little heavy on the face. It's got niacinamide and panthenol, but not a whole lot else going on in it for me to comment on. I gladly wear this, but I want you guys to know that it does have a heavier finish to it."

"It's a chemical sunscreen. Anua is a Korean brand, but they made this sunscreen for the US market, so it doesn't have like Tinosurb or UAL A+ or anything like that. It has standard chemical filters that are allowed in US sunscreens. I've been really happy with that because it's moisturizing. It doesn't burn or sting. It has niacinamide and it's water resistant. SPF 50 is a pretty good SPF value. [...] For the Texas sun and the Texas humidity, having that water resistance factor I really liked."

"This for me personally is just a great option for the days where I'm going to be maybe going out more and being in the sun for longer than 30 seconds and you'll be generating sweat. I really enjoyed this. It's moisturizing. It's not greasy. [...] This is a pretty thick cream coming out."

"If you have oily skin in tropical weather I don't think you'll like it, but in Korean winter, if you have dry mature skin, you'll like this, and it's kind of cute and small. It's a chemical sunscreen though, so some people can react if they're allergic or sensitive. I would say it's okay, but I'm not going to repurchase it, because whatever I pick, other sunscreens are like this, so there's no reason to pick this one particularly."

"Anua ZeroCast, super hydrating, super elegant. It's definitely more of a hydrating sunscreen, not like a serum type of sunscreen, but more of a hydrating one. It's got some body to it. And what I like about it is the measuring cap that's right at the top. So you can measure out your sunscreen, get that 1/4 teaspoon for the face and neck. It's a really cool touch."

"I also like the Anua Zero Cast sunscreen. This is a pure chemical sunscreen with US filters, even though it's a Korean brand they formulated this one in the US so it could be available in Ulta. It has a little measuring cup so you can measure out exactly how much you need.

"One I really did love and this is a more moisturizing sunscreen. I think it's great for this time of year is from Anua their Zero Cast Moisturizing Finish Sunscreen. This has US chemical filters. I do love the application. I love that this gives a healthy moisturized glowy finish, which is so hard to achieve right now when it's so dry. And I love that they have a built-in kind of measuring cup in their cap, which helps us use the right amount."

"This has a beautiful moisturizing texture. It's just not too light. It feels also really hydrating and comforting as well. It's so elegant. In fact, it really reminds me of the super popular Beauty of Chosen Rice and Probiotics. It has the kind of hydrated glow finish that I love so much. This formula has all the US compatible filters. I also appreciate that it's water resistant up to 80 minutes, which means it's got some resistance. It's longer lasting."
