It seemed to deeply hydrate my skin. •Spreadability It spread smoothly without any stickiness, with a soft and moisturizing application. It had a bouncy texture that spread thinly without clumping. However, there was a slightly slippery feel to it, though it didn't bother me much. •Texture As someone who dislikes watery creams, this product had a slightly viscous texture - a rich, creamy feel. It wasn't thick or sticky, though. •Fragrance Unfortunately, it did contain fragrance, but it was the least abundant ingredient and the scent wasn't overpowering, so it wasn't bothersome. •Price Considering it's a goat milk product, the price wasn't too high given the volume. I thought the cost-effectiveness was reasonable. •Brightening Effect Since I have relatively dark skin, the tone-up cream did help brighten and even out my skin tone, though the difference wasn't drastic. It still managed to improve my complexion to some degree.
Cons•Adherence When used after previous steps, it didn't adhere well and felt a bit like it was floating on top. This happened even though my skin isn't oily. •Absorption The advertisement claimed the small fat particles would absorb better, but the absorption wasn't as great as promised. There was also some slipperiness. •Longevity As mentioned before, the poor adherence meant the product didn't last as long on the skin. Those who spend a lot of time outdoors may want to keep this in mind. •Packaging Due to the product packaging, it was a bit difficult to use up all the cream, even with a spatula. (This was partly my own fault as I lost the spatula, making it harder to fully utilize the product.)
Tip•Since this product has a tendency to feel a bit floating on the skin, I'd recommend thoroughly completing the previous steps in your routine and using it, regardless of skin type. •Using it right after cleansing may be too much for the skin.

Spreadability ☆☆☆☆☆ The cream has just the right viscosity - not too runny and with a good amount of thickness, so the spreadability is really nice. When I applied it on the back of my hand, it spread smoothly and evenly without clumping, and it didn't feel heavy or sticky. 2. Fragrance ☆☆☆☆ I don't really like strong fragrances, and this tone-up cream has a mild scent. It seems to have a subtle milky aroma, probably from the New Zealand goat milk used in the formula. It gives a gentle, natural and eco-friendly feel. 3. Cost-effectiveness ☆☆☆☆ Many tone-up creams with good ingredients tend to have small quantities and high prices. But the Tonymoly product has great ingredients while being more affordable, especially during sales. I've tried some expensive tone-up creams before, but I couldn't really tell the difference between them and this one. 4. Absorption (Body) ☆☆☆☆☆ This product is great for cost-effective body application, especially in the summer. It spreads well on the body and gets absorbed quickly, leaving my dry skin looking brighter and more even-toned. I use this product frequently.
Cons1. Absorption (Face) ☆☆☆ The main issue with tone-up creams is the tendency for whitening and patchiness. I've tried 3-4 different tone-up creams trying to find one without these problems, but it's really difficult. Without fail, I experience whitening on my face, even though it doesn't happen when I use it on my body. The whitening is about the same as with more expensive products, so I think it's better to just stick with this Tonymoly one. I'm really curious if there are any tone-up creams out there that don't cause any whitening at all. 2. Dryness After Use After using tone-up creams and cleansing my face, I tend to feel more dryness. This seems to be a common issue across the tone-up creams I've tried. However, the Tonymoly tone-up cream is the one that leaves the least amount of tightness and dryness for me. It seems to work well with my skin.
TipEven so, if I apply the tone-up cream right after cleansing and doing my basic skincare routine, the whitening effect seems to be reduced and the absorption is better. For people with oily skin, it seems to get absorbed well, but for those with dry skin like me, it's still a bit concerning.

I have a bit of a complexion about my slightly darker skin tone, but this cream completely covers my complexion, which I love❗ Just a little bit of application and the tone-up is easily achieved (but if you apply too much, it becomes too white. Just the right amount!) When I apply it, my desired bright and smooth skin is achieved, and I love it👍 I thought tone-up creams would lose their effect over time, but this one maintains the tone-up effect as if gently correcting the original skin tone over time, so it becomes completely natural-looking haha. I apply it in the morning, and after about 3-4 hours, I add a cushion on top, and the lasting power seems decent! And since it's a cream, unlike foundation which can feel stuffy and heavy (the feeling of something layered on the skin), this just applies moisturized and absorbs well into the skin nicely😘 It also works great when mixed with foundation🧡 When I checked the Hwahae ingredients for different skin types, there aren't any bad ingredients for oily, dry, or sensitive skin. And even with my acne-prone skin, it didn't particularly irritate my acne when I applied it😁
ConsAfter applying, there's a fragrance like a nourishing cream?? Or should I say it has a scent that I can't quite describe, not extremely unpleasant, but it seems like a scent that teenagers or people in their 20s might not want to use...😅 And a tone-up cream that's 38,000 won for 60ml seems a bit pricey...ㅠ
TipWhen buying: You should stock up when there are discount events or one-for-one promotions...ㅎ When applying: You should test out how much tone-up effect you need, so start with just a little bit at first. A little goes a long way in terms of tone-up, so be sure to do some testing with just a little bit!

It had a nice, slightly bouncy texture that wasn't too shiny. I've been told my skin looks great when I wear this to school.
ConsI experienced a few blemishes, not sure if it was due to my own lack of care or if I'm sensitive to the scent, which wasn't particularly pleasant.

I bought this product with confidence because I heard it's okay to use even while sleeping. I'm told that my skin tone has improved after using it. I'm using this instead of BB cream. First of all, it's comfortable because there are no ingredients that irritate my skin. I want to buy it again when I run out.
ConsMaybe because of my large pores... When I look closely, there's a white buildup in my pores.
TipIf you apply too much, your face will look unnaturally pale. The cream is somewhat matte, so it's good to pat it on evenly.

ConsThe absorption seems to be poor, and if you apply too much, there is a sticky feeling. I'm not sure what ingredient didn't agree with my skin, but after using it, large acne started appearing periodically, and later my face became an acne field, so I stopped using it. Certainly, as soon as I stopped, my face calmed down. Instead, I'm using it as a foot cream substitute, and since there's no problem, it seems to be fine for body use. However, the tone-up effect is no longer needed.

It's extremely moisturizing, so I use a toner to keep my face hydrated, and then apply this product thinly on top - it has great spreadability. It can be used as a standalone makeup base, and long-term use also has a whitening effect.
ConsThe absorption is a bit weak, so you need to pat it in a little to get it fully absorbed. If you apply too much, it can feel a bit heavy.
TipThis alone can complete your base makeup, but if you layer a foundation or cushion on top, the longevity will be even better. As I'm busy with work, I don't have time to retouch during the day, but this product stays on without becoming patchy until I get off work. Personally, this is a holy grail item for me.

I have a bit of a dull eye area, so I was careful to apply it around my eyes and lightly all over. When I put on makeup, the tone seems to match well and looks good.
ConsThe disappointing part was that although it was said to be moisturizing, it feels dry.
TipWhen wearing sleeveless clothes in the summer, the color of my face and neck can look different. Applying it to my neck makes the tone look more even.
