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.

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.

The tone-up effect is definitely achieved, and this cream alone seems to cover most of the blemishes. It seems useful when going out with friends or just going somewhere for a while! It's more tightening than expected.
ConsIt's tightening, but there's not much moisture, and it sometimes gets heavily caked and streaky. And I'm a warm-toned person, so the tone doesn't seem to match very well. It's just a ~~white color.
TipI prefer light makeup, so I use this tone-up cream instead of BB or CC creams. And when it's dry, I mix it with another moisturizing cream and apply it.
