If you can't already tell by the photo, my favorite daily sunscreen ever is the Skin Aqua Tone Up UV Essence. Last year I tried a lot of different Japanese and Korean sunscreens from many different brands, and this one is my favorite, so I bought six backups. I wear it everyday as a makeup primer. Despite of it's name, at least on me, it just goes on clear. No tone up or color correction, and that's fine. It absorbs into my skin very fast even when I use a lot (which you should apply your spf generously anyways). It keeps my full coverage foundation on all day. The only con is that it isn't water resistant and it washes off very easily with just water, so I wouldn't use it if I will be spending a lot of time outdoors during the summer.
I also repurchased my favorite toner, the Numbuzin No.1 Pure-Full Calming Herb Toner. It's a great toner for oily skin. It's lightweight, not sticky, not too hydrating, and never irritates my skin. It's 300 ml and my last one lasted pretty long.
I know it isn't Asian Beauty (so sorry if I'm not allowed to talk about them), but I also ordered some Cancer Council sunscreens from YesStyle. I've been wanting to try Australian sunscreens, because I heard that they offer the highest protection, and of course, because American sunscreens are trash. I haven't tried them yet, but if they're good then I'll use them on days where I'll be spending lots of time in the Texas sun.

I love Skin Aqua for body sunscreens. I can’t do alcohol products on my face, but I love them for the body.
I also have a bottle of CC sunscreen but it’s the Sensitive one in the light blue pump bottle. It’s quite thick and moisturizing, so I use it on my hands.
Thoughts on the green skin aqua (mint cream)? Im interested it as I have fair skin but hella rosacea, and was wondering if it’ll do anything.
I’m so jealous! I just ran out of my Skin Aqua Tone Up. It’s such a favourite for me
Can you tell me which color is for what? I am completely confused by the description online.
Skin Aqua Lavender is so good for the winters! Haven’t tried any other yet. What’s your review of the others?
I have the pink and blue one. I don’t use it on my face anymore, just on my body.
