I have a bit of a complex about my darker skin, but this cream completely covers that insecurity, which I love. Even a small amount easily brightens the complexion (though if you apply too much, it can get too light - just the right amount is perfect!). When I apply it, I get that coveted porcelain skin look, which I adore. I used to think brightening moisturizers lost their effect over time, but this one settles into a natural-looking tone correction. It's like it becomes completely seamless! I usually apply cushion foundation about 3-4 hours after putting this on in the morning, and the staying power seems pretty decent. Unlike foundation, which can feel heavy and suffocating on the skin, this cream absorbs well and feels moisturizing, which I really appreciate. It's also great mixed with foundation - works like a charm! According to Hwahae's ingredient analysis for different skin types, there are zero harmful ingredients for oily, dry, or sensitive skin. I have acne-prone skin, and it didn't seem to irritate my blemishes at all.
ConsAfter applying, there's a scent that's reminiscent of a nourishing cream? It's not overwhelmingly unpleasant, but it has a fragrance that might not appeal to teenagers or those in their early 20s, which is a bit of a downside. Also, 60ml of brightening moisturizer for 38,000 won seems quite expensive.
TipWhen buying: Stock up during sales or buy-one-get-one-free events. When applying: To gauge the brightening effect, start by applying small amounts. A little goes a long way with this product, so always test with small amounts first!

As I have extremely dry skin, I apply this thinly over a hydrating toner, and it absorbs beautifully. It's great as a standalone makeup base. With long-term use, you can even see brightening effects.
ConsIt doesn't absorb quite as quickly, so you need to pat it in a bit. If you apply too much, there can be some pilling.
TipWhile this works well on its own as a base, layering foundation or cushion over it increases longevity. When I'm busy at work with no time for touch-ups, it stays put without patching until I clock out. Personally, this is my holy grail product.

It's like being reborn as a completely fair-skinned person. If you apply it little by little, it works well.
ConsIt brightens so much that it feels a bit overwhelming.

I don't usually wear much makeup, so I just apply a thin layer of this instead of foundation. However, it does make you quite pale, so I use it sparingly. (My mother mixes it with BB cream) - Effects: It instantly brightens your complexion. Just be careful not to apply too much - even a small amount makes a big difference. - Texture: It feels powdery and smooth. Unlike some night creams, it's not moisturizing or thick... it's more like a dense whipped cream texture, if that makes sense. I don't notice any scent. Does anyone else smell anything? - Other users: I recommended it to two people - my mother and a friend who doesn't wear much makeup. My mother likes mixing it with BB cream, saying it's powdery yet moisturizing. My friend absolutely loves it, no questions asked!
ConsUse sparingly. If you apply too much, it can make you look unnaturally pale. It's not waterproof and washes off easily. The cosmetics shop said it could be used as a sleeping pack, but I'm not comfortable with that. I only use it as a makeup substitute. As for longevity, it seems to fade over time, but it doesn't actually disappear. Similar to how BB creams darken, this seems to naturally adjust to your skin tone as time passes. (I have oily skin, so maybe it's just me?)
TipApply thinly to avoid a cakey look. I comfortably apply it to my neck, the back of my neck, and just below my ears. Unless you're naturally very fair-skinned, make sure to apply it evenly all over to avoid stark color differences. It works well mixed with emulsions or BB creams. However, if you pre-mix it, it tends to become watery, so it's best to mix it fresh each time. I'll definitely buy it again during the next 1+1 sale.

Just be careful not to apply too much, or your face might look a bit pale!
ConsIf you apply it too generously, it can leave a white cast similar to thick sunscreen...
