It's moisturizing and absorbs well. Even a small amount naturally brightens your complexion and gives your skin a lively look. The scent is a subtle rose fragrance. It's perfect for light outings or as a basic base. The cream is lightweight and convenient to carry around, and it lasts surprisingly long. There's minimal transfer, it's not sticky, and it doesn't feel drying, which I really liked.
ConsThe packaging is inconvenient (it's hard to get the product out). After some time, it may separate slightly, but it's not very noticeable.
TipAfter cleansing, exfoliating, and applying your skincare routine - making sure to let your skin fully absorb the hydration - gently pat this on. It shouldn't separate and should stay put nicely. Keep in mind that results may vary slightly depending on your skin condition and type!

It's hydrating, and as a result, it evens skin tone naturally. The way it absorbs is also great.
ConsWhile the packaging is pretty, it's quite rigid, making it a bit difficult to squeeze out the product. I wish it were softer.

It really does seem very gentle. It's lightweight, but when I used to use Cosrx, I would apply the base thickly and it didn't feel very drying. By the afternoon, there would be flaky skin and it would look uneven. This product, however, has a naturally moisturizing texture, so it doesn't feel like it's sitting on top of the skin.
ConsThe original Cosrx product gave a really stark, bright whitening effect, but this one only provides a moderate level of tone-up. Since my original skin tone was on the darker side, I'm a bit disappointed. With the moisturizing texture, it ends up melting away from the face later on.

Even though I have sensitive skin, the product feels gentle, so I can use it with confidence. The formula absorbs well into my skin, which I really like!
ConsThe product comes in a squeeze tube, which is a bit inconvenient to use (I have to tap it a few times before the product comes out!). It has zero coverage - it just provides a slight tone-up effect and doesn't conceal any blemishes at all...
TipIn the winter, I find that using a tone-up cream instead of sunscreen works really well!

You can think of it as an effect that makes the skin tone more organized, moist, and clear. <Moisturizing>: High Compared to other tone-up creams (Fa*ce Fa*ce), after trying it, it's so moisturizing! It feels like applying a moisture essence, so the moisturizing and spreadability are good. *For those who only want the tone-up effect, or those who will only use the tone-up cream, purchase it carefully~ It's good to use as a base before makeup. *I compared the side I applied it to on the back of my hand with the side I didn't. The advantage was the appropriate tone-up and the moist feeling, rather than the whitening tone-up.
ConsFingerprints are left on the product lid... The marks are clearly visible... Hmm, that's how it is.

It has an amazing spreadability! It applies like a lotion! It's so easy to apply, which is really great... 2. It provides a truly natural-looking skin tone-up!! There's no caking or settling, and it just gives my skin a slightly more polished look. 3. It's moisturizing without being sticky! This is exactly the kind of moisturizing I was looking for. It's not sticky at all. 4. Reassuring ingredients Based on the Hwahae app, I think the ingredients are quite gentle. 5. The fragrance is not bothersome! I can barely even tell there's a fragrance. 6. The packaging is pretty...it looks stylish.☆
Cons1. Those looking for a dramatic skin tone-up might be disappointed. I prefer a more natural look, so I actually liked that it wasn't overly whitening or unnatural. 2. The packaging is pretty, but it has sharp edges that hurt a bit(?) But that's also why it looks nice...haha
TipI used this instead of my usual foundation, and I think it worked well with my powder foundation too!

But it's not too strong, which I really liked. ❤️ It's not heavy and has the right amount of moisture, and it applies smoothly without any greasiness. ❤️ While the difference may not seem significant in the photos, the actual skin-perfecting effect was remarkable, and it evened out my skin texture as shown in the pictures. ❤️ The tone correction is incredibly natural, and even my whole family wears just this when going for a workout, as they think their bare skin looks pretty. ❤️ I've never experienced any breakouts or irritation, even after using it for quite a while. It's very gentle. ❤️ I feel like my skin has become slightly brighter after using it consistently (though it could be just my imagination). ❤️ The longevity is quite good.
Cons💀 The packaging is really inconvenient to squeeze, it doesn't come out easily. You need to use both hands, which is honestly a hassle. 💀 Those who dislike rose scent may not like this.
TipHonestly, I'm really, really satisfied with this product, and I haven't exaggerated anything at all!! My mom is also very satisfied, and she plans to buy one more once she finishes this one! However, the packaging is very inconvenient, and I think it would be quite troublesome for others to use as well. 🤖 It was great to use this alone when I wanted a natural, bare-faced look, and it was also very satisfying to use as a makeup base before foundation. I've been let down by many tone-up products in the past, but I think I've found a great one this time!

When I received it, it felt a bit warm, so I applied this right after my skin essence and didn't feel any dryness even after doing my makeup. The tone-up effect is quite natural, so I could just wear this, apply sunscreen, and go out without my face looking patchy or anything. The scent is also very light and not overbearing. It worked well as a makeup base too. Despite having a lot of blemishes (freckles), I wanted a brighter, more radiant look rather than just coverage, and this product delivered on that.
ConsThe product instructions on the packaging seem a bit lacking - like whether to apply it day and night or as the last step in your skincare routine. I just slapped it on haphazardly on the days I had to put on makeup for appointments. I think the tone-up effect might be quite subtle for very fair skin tones. I usually wear shade 13, and the natural tone-up worked well for me, but those looking for a more obvious effect might find it so-so. As the seasons change, I've started to feel a bit of dryness. But this is probably the case with most whitening base products, so you'd need to supplement with an extra moisturizer. After application, there's a sort of 'slick' feeling that develops over time, which I'm not sure about the reason for. There's also a slight grainy texture, but I can't tell if that's from this product or my other cosmetics. The case is also really stiff, so it's hard to dispense even a small amount. A tube format might work better. The packaging could also use an upgrade to look a bit more premium. Honestly, if I hadn't signed up for the Hwahae trial, this probably wouldn't have caught my eye.
TipIn the summer, I think you could use this on its own without an extra moisturizer, but in the transitional seasons, it's best to layer a hydrating cream on top. A little goes a long way with this product, so using it sparingly is recommended.

As soon as I apply it, I exclaim in admiration at its smooth application. I usually don't do much makeup, just finishing with sunscreen or a light cushion, but I was satisfied with using this tone-up cream as the final step. It provides a natural tone-up. It's a product that focuses on functionality. The ingredients were also satisfactory. Finishing with a mist provides a moisturizing touch.
ConsI use two different sunscreens. When I apply this tone-up cream over the A2* sunscreen, it feels moisturizing upon application, but then quickly absorbs and leaves a matte finish, and after a few hours, it feels dry, even though I have an oily skin type. When I apply it over the THALA* sunscreen, it feels more moisturizing for a longer time and less drying.
TipBe sure to finish with a mist for that extra moisture. I use the Kim Hee-ae mist, the THALA* mist, to complete my routine. The case is really hard to squeeze, so try turning it upside down to use it.

The positive points are that the product's case is very stylish, and as the dry weather is starting to set in, when I mix the tone-up cream with my semi-matte or matte foundation before applying, it makes my skin look a bit more hydrated and radiant. And by mixing it, the foundation applies a bit more lightly. I thought it would get oily and darken quickly when applied alone, but it doesn't get as oily as I expected, and while there is a slight fading, it lasts quite well. It also makes my skin look very naturally radiant! I would recommend this to students.
ConsThe downside is that when applied alone, it can look a bit uneven on different skin types, and to get the tone-up effect, you need to apply a certain amount of the product, but the high moisture content makes it difficult to apply. And when applied alone, while it looks natural, the coverage and perfect tone-up may not be achieved. Also, the packaging is a rigid plastic, and I thought the product would flow out like water when turned upside down, but it's a squeeze tube, so there's a bit of difficulty when trying to dispense the product.
TipI would recommend using this product by mixing it with the matte/semi-matte products you used in the summer, and using it in the fall/winter season, rather than using it on its own.
