I bought the sample size of this CC Sun Cream because I wanted to try Korea's newest beauty hit, the CC cream and also to replace my old sunscreen. This CC cream fits the bill of what I wanted and needed!

I purchased the sample size (30pcs) and only started using a few times these 2 weeks, because I am still enjoying my semester break at home lol.
So I've searched up the internet for a bit, and I found out several essential things about this CC cream:
·       it contains Antler deers extract, Peony extract,  Corni extract
·       it actually has 3 different encapsulated  colours which are red, yellow and brown
·       it contains 6 different herbal ingredients
·       it functions to moisturise and brighten the skin
Yup, that's about it. I couldn't find the ingredients list but please leave a comment if you have found it, thanks!
My first impression:
Thick, creamy, and a bit sticky.
This is what is looks like before blended. Like every other CC cream out there, it is white. Upon being blended, the capsules will burst and the colour will show.
I drew a star next to the cream, just to show its concealing power. 


After fully blended, the final colour has a pinkish sheen which is also 1-2 shades lighter than my original skin tone. The finish was a bit cakey but it is not as cakey as Etude House's CC cream (yeah I tried their tester to see if they live up to the hype). The concealing power is low-medium, so it does not cover much of my blemishes.
The CC cream is waterproof!
I hoped for a barely there, porcelain skin look by using this cream but apparently I had raised my hopes too high, I guess? The finished look was 'I have makeup on' instead of 'no makeup' which I wanted to achieve. Although it might be my application skill though, haha!
Long hour wearing:
This CC Sun Cream did not make me look oily, and the cream melted off after a long day. Without using the primer, a about 2-3 hours it'd melted off already.
On another trial, I used it with A'pieu's primer, and it helped in increasing the coverage and held it on my face for a longer time.

The good: great deals (samples), not drying, doesn't trigger breakout
The bad: weak coverage, 1 skin tone only

Edit: I put the CC cream to test in Bangkok!
Right after applying the CC cream: it leaves a whitish cast on my face
Approx 3.5~4 hours after wearing : I was in a Bangkok bus heading from Chinatown to Wat Pho yaw! The weather is very very hot!

6 hours after wearing

Sorry, my eyes are flowery. Lol

edit (28/9) : Hmmmmmmm. It seems that my pores are pretty clogged up whenever I use the CC cream. I cannot put a thick layer of the CC cream or I will breakout (even while wearing this). I guess something in this CC cream is not right for me.
