I have the no sebum oil-free sunblock and it is HG base/primer/sunblock. If you are a oily skinned gal, I recommend this product whole-heartedly! It controls oils completely while evening out your skin tone. On most days, I just wear this stuff alone on my skin: it is really that good. I’ve tried the Shiseido sunblock and experienced similar results, but this one is a fraction of the price + I am trying not to use Japanese products after Fukushima. Try it out if you have the chance! You won't regret it.

Overall I really like this because it gives great protection, but it does feel somewhat greasy and it does leave a slight white cast. I personally don't mind the white cast, as I'm very fair and it strangely brightens my complexion, but to combat the greasiness I add a drop of tea tree oil (when I say drop, I mean tiny, tiny drop). This has been working wonderfully for me and I haven't broken out, which is more than I can say for pretty much every facial sunscreen I've ever worn. I don't wear liquid foundation over it because I generally skip that in the summer anyway, but it definitely doesn't mess with any of my stains or cream blushes.

I do like this sunscreen - it works well with my normal/combo sensitive skin. I use this in place of a moisturiser during the day and it's very hydrating (but not greasy) and my makeup glides over it easily. I'm not too keen on the smell though...I can't put my finger on what the smell is like, it's not terrible by any means but I just don't like it. The broadspectrum SPF50 is good protection and the sunscreen isn't that expensive either - I got mine on a 2 for 1 offer at Innisfree, they always seem to be doing offers.

UPDATE: I no longer like this. It leaves a very obvious white cast on my skin, the fragrance is too strong, it feels rather greasy and heavy when I wear it. I suspect it's what caused the red bumps to form all over my cheeks. I no longer use this and would not repurchase.

This is the best sunscreen EVER. No other sunscreens have worked for me because they 1) are too oily/greasy 2) leave a white cast. This one does neither of those things! I have normal - combo oily skin and this is moisturising yet not oily. It does not make my skin oil up. Also, I'm an NC37/40 and it does not leave me looking like a ghost. What's not to love about that?

It has SPF 50+++ which is really good broadspectrum protection. It's enriched with -Organic Sunflower Oil, Organic Chamomile & Organic Witch Hazel extracts, which is designed to soothe/moisturise/control oil all at the same time. Great concept. I absolutely love it. I got 2 for 1 at innisfree and you get 50ml.
