  Pros

  I had quite an enjoyable time using the product to leave a review after being selected as a Hwahae Trial Reviewer. However, there were many aspects that did not suit me, which is a shame. First, I have a tendency to have redness in the central part of my face. I usually apply a light base makeup, covering the redness slightly with a color corrector or foundation. I would say my biggest need is to even out my facial tone to cover the redness. I had high expectations for the tone-up cream from the men's cosmetic brand in this regard. I'll mention the disappointing aspects later, but let me briefly write about the positive points as well. 1. First of all, the packaging is clean, and the product name "Spotlight" is strong, which I liked. The existing product line was mainly in black packaging, so the white packaging for the tone-up cream was quite an innovative package choice from the brand's perspective (and I liked it too!). 2. The texture is about halfway to my liking. Depending on whether the green capsule is broken or not, the spreadability can be divided, and I was surprised by how soft and smooth the texture was before the capsule broke. This was a positive point. 3. The tone-up effect is really noticeable. Personally, I wanted a level of tone correction that would cover the redness, but if you are satisfied with just the tone-up effect alone, you may be satisfied. My skin tone is around 22 to 23, so I thought the tone-up effect might not be that significant for a men's-only product, but it was not the case. Since the product is not divided by skin tone shades, the tone-up seems to work regardless of the initial skin tone brightness.

  Cons

  First, I'm the type who usually does base makeup, so the process of applying cosmetics to the face and patting them in for absorption, or the application skills, I thought there would be no problem with that part, but it was more difficult to apply than I expected. It's connected to the point I mentioned in Advantage 3, where the formula is soft and spreadable like a skincare product before the green capsule bursts, but after the capsule bursts, the formula itself turns green and becomes thick. So, when you initially apply the product smoothly, if you apply an appropriate amount to the face area in proportion to the amount applied, and then burst the green capsule, you can avoid the product clumping up and floating on the skin in a greenish color. It might be a bit difficult to explain, but to summarize, while it applies well initially, it quickly becomes thick, so you need to quickly judge where and how much to apply to properly control the amount. This wasn't easy for me. I think it's because I finish my base care almost stickily moist due to my dry skin, so it might be more prone to clumping. If this product is released as a functional cosmetic, not as a final step in skincare, then I think I may have completely misunderstood the usage. Seeing that there's no guidance on sun protection factor, it could be a whitening and anti-aging functional product to be used morning and evening. If you're someone who just does basic base makeup or is looking for a tone-up cream because makeup is troublesome, I'd recommend checking the level of redness on your own face and definitely testing it out at the store before purchasing!

  Tip

  Apply the pumping gently and gradually to your face. If you approach it with the mindset of applying a lot and then removing it, or thinking it will somehow work out, you never know what might happen on your face.
