Review: Nuganic Customize Sun Block Fresh SPF50

This is actually the first sunblock that i'm reviewing on my blog. Why? I usually use foundation, BB- or  CC Cream with SPF so I usually don't wear sunscreen under it. However, I noticed that I'm getting more and more freckles, so I actually want to prevent that it will be darker and have new ones. Unfortunately my current CC Cream that I'm using only has SPF10. That's why I started to use sunscreen with a high SPF. This Korean sunscreen from Nuganic was in my MEMEBOX #3 (see unbox blogpost) and today I'm writing a short review about it. Continue with reading if you are interested.

DESCRIPTION 
The Nuganic Customize Sunblock Fresh contains adansonia digitata seed and nymphaea alba flower extract (more info about these two ingredients later). It's a 3-in-1 product, it protects you from UV rays, it contains brightening and anti-wrinkle ingredients. It claims to be lightweight as well.

WHERE TO BUY? 
I only found this product sold on their website: nuganickorea.com for $45 (link to product). I couldn't find it on any English website unfortunately.
.
PACKAGING
The packaging is clean and has Korean and English descriptions. As you can see it comes in a squeeze tube, just twist the cap open, remove the lid and squeeze the product out.





.
INGREDIENTS
There are two ingredients which are mentioned on the front packaging, these are:
• Adansonia digitata seed also known as organic baobab. The Baobab tree is one of the most intriguing trees growing on the African continent. The seeds extracts oil has lots of beauty benefits: skin softening, skin restructuring, quick absorption, improves elasticity of the skin, encourages regeneration of cells and doesn't clog skin pores.

• Nymphaea alba flower extract is an extract of the flower water lily. This flowering plant is found in deep ponds and lakes in Europe. This extract has skin brightening properties.

.
HOW TO USE
Apply evenly on your face after applying your skincare products. Apply it 30 minutes before UV exposure.

STRUCTURE & SCENT 
This sunscreen is lightweight, easy to spread, it absorbs into the skin quickly (in a few seconds) without leaving a sticky residue. It just smells like regular sunscreens. It claims to be fresh as well hence the name of this product, but it doesn't seem to have any cooling effects.

.
FINAL THOUGHTS 
I'm loving this sunscreen, it's lightweight, absorbs quickly, isn't sticky, has a high SPF, doesn't leave a white cast, feels moist and it doesn't have a strong scent either. I usually apply this before I apply my CC Cream from Gosh and this combination seems to work well. Me likey! However, it's pretty expensive, $45 for only 40ml of product x___x", it won't last long if you apply this on your whole body as well.

HAVE YOU TRIED ANY ASIAN SUNSCREENS BEFORE?
