It was really the worst. As soon as I applied it, my face flipped over. At first, I didn't know what was wrong, so I didn't do anything to my face for a while, but then when I applied this cream again, my face flipped over right away. Rather than acne coming up, boils are popping up from within my face.

It's not necessary. Don't use it. Discard it. It's the worst. Don't do it.

루미레이어 크림

When wearing a mask, there's a bit of a puffy effect due to the moisture

The skin tone enhancement works well. So it looks natural haha

The downside is that it can leave a residue when rubbed. Additionally, while the mineral UV protection and efficacy are similar to other products, the price is relatively high.

The product is a smooth, white liquid without any yellow or red pigments. It gives a brightening effect on the skin, similar to applying sunscreen. It is not drying and keeps the skin moisturized, resulting in a nice skin texture. Unlike other brands' tone-up creams, this product did not cause any breakouts. The fragrance is also relatively mild.

As a skincare product, you can apply it and go to bed, so it's great for travel when you don't want to wear makeup or when you need to quickly meet your significant other.

The jar-type packaging requires scooping with the hands, which feels unsanitary.

1. It provides a luminous tone-up effect for oily yet hydrated skin.
2. In addition to the tone-up function, it is also a moisturizing and whitening skincare product, so you can apply it and go to bed.
3. After using it for an extended period, I experienced brighter skin tone.

If you apply a cream with too much moisture underneath, it can feel a bit heavy on the skin.
Use a product with some oil content first, then apply this on top.

My skin looks so naturally bright and radiant, giving me a lot of confidence to go bare-faced.
It brightens up like I'm wearing a cushion foundation.
Even though my skin is already quite fair at shade 19, it looks even more luminous.

Since I have sensitive skin, there is a slight itchy feeling, so I don't use it every day, but only about once or twice a week.

The tone-up effect is natural, the whitening effect is good, and the spreadability is also good.
It applies thinly and smoothly, and there is no smearing even when applied multiple times.

If you have oily skin, I don't recommend this.
If you have dry skin, I highly recommend it (my mom, who has extremely dry skin, loves this cream very much).

✔️Breakdown
The downside is that it tends to get a bit dirty around the nose area. It just melts and becomes super shiny, like oil is just pouring out. About two hours after applying, you'll have to go to the bathroom and blot it. If it requires that much effort, you might as well just use a foundation or a tinted sunscreen with coverage.

✔️Breakouts
About six hours after applying this product, white, watery blemishes would pop up. I used this product quite a lot this past winter, and I can say this with certainty. They didn't turn into full-blown pimples, but just those white, watery bumps, one a day. I'm not sure why I didn't stop using it, but I definitely won't be using it anymore.

✔️Color
The color is extremely white! In fact, even though most products claim to be pure white, they often have a yellowish or pinkish tint. But this product is truly white. However, if you pat it gently on the skin, it becomes fine.

✔️Radiance
It's not perfect for oily skin, but if you have dry skin, it's worth trying. My cheeks tend to get dry quickly, but this product has just the right amount of oil content, which was actually good for me. When I first applied it, there was a glow, but that soon faded, and after it dried, it maintained an appropriate moisturizing function. However, if you have oily skin, you shouldn't wear it for too long. I've tried it in various ways, and on the days I wore it for a long time, I would find a single white, greasy spot near my nose in the evening, just before a breakout. It's best to only wear it for a short time.
Actually, my mom gave me this, and she loved it because she has extremely dry skin. If you have dry skin, I highly recommend this Hwahae Trial Reviewer. If you have oily skin, it's recommended with the caveat of wearing it for a moderate amount of time.

It's a great product to use on the neck and limbs as well.♥

The texture is a bit thick, so it may not spread as easily. :(

It naturally brightens the skin tone and leaves no residue after application. :)

I was shocked when I checked the ingredients... Since I have sensitive skin with large pores and a lot of oil, which is almost oily, the pore-clogging and acne-causing properties really put me off. After seeing this, I don't think I'll be buying it again. For this price, I'd rather get a better value product with good performance.

The tone-up effect happens naturally, and it's not too dry or oily, so I didn't feel like it was heavy or slippery when I applied it. The best part is the natural tone-up effect. The scent is not too bad either, so if you're curious, it's worth trying it out.

There are many disappointing aspects:

1. Dryness
When I just apply it, it feels too dry, causing cracking or flaky skin... Makeup also doesn't apply well. And even if I do a thorough skincare routine and apply it, it still pills 100% of the time..^^

2. Breakouts
This product was too difficult to remove with just a regular cleansing soap.
At first, I didn't know, so I just used my usual soap to cleanse, but it didn't come off well. The next day, my skin was a mess, so I had to cleanse again, and that's when I realized the cream I applied yesterday was the culprit.. ㅠㅠ Even though I don't usually get breakouts, this was quite bad.

If you can overlook these factors and use it..it might be okay, but
it's not even a cheap product ㅠㅠ I think I'll just use another product with better cost-effectiveness instead..

The natural tone-up effect seems good, but...

You should only apply a very small amount. On days when you apply a little too much, the makeup can appear cakey on the skin.

The coverage is great, it matches my skin tone well. I recommend it.
