Personally, I felt the coverage wasn't much different from regular brightening moisturizers. However, unlike typical ones, this has some color to it, so the coverage was ever so slightly better. 2. Application I found it applied well. For base products like this, I usually just apply them with my hands like an emulsion. When I patted it in, it worked fine for me. 3. Adherence After patting it in, the adherence was pretty good too. 4. Longevity Ah... well... I'll have to talk about that below...
Cons1. Coverage I didn't expect much coverage from this product to begin with, so I wasn't disappointed. Objectively speaking, though, the coverage wasn't great... But personally, I think it works well as a makeup primer. 2. Longevity As someone who breaks out in sweat at the slightest warmth, I was in tears over the longevity... I wore this while exercising and, well... it didn't work for me. As time passed, it started to darken on my skin. 3. Scent Hmm... there's an artificial fragrance? My friends said it was fine, but it gave me a bit of a headache...

The best thing about this BB cream was its excellent coverage! It had almost as much coverage as The Face Shop's Ink Lasting foundation, making it great to use even without concealer. As for longevity, while the fixing didn't last extremely long, I felt it faded beautifully. The texture was almost like a hydrating cream? I was surprised by how silky smooth it applied, like putting on a watery sunscreen! The application feel was so nice that I wanted to keep applying it. What really stood out was how it made my skin look - it gave a subtle, pearlescent finish with a blurred effect, creating a filter-like highlight. The way it made my nose tip, forehead, chin, and cheekbones glow in the light was absolutely stunning, like I had applied a highlighter!
ConsBecause of the glow, it did emphasize pores a bit. Those with smaller pores might achieve a porcelain skin look if they use a primer, but I wouldn't recommend it for those with larger pores. Since it's a BB cream, there's a slight grayish cast. It works well for me as my skin tone suits grayish undertones, but it might not be suitable for those who don't.
TipI recommend using this with a primer! Due to the grayish tone, it pairs well with a less saturated contour product like Peripera's Ink V Shading in shade 3, which makes the overall look much more natural.

Even with a mask on, it barely budged except for the nose area. It's so gentle! I've used The Saem concealer before and it made my skin itchy and irritated - I couldn't wait to take it off. Other foundations also made me a bit itchy, but this one doesn't irritate at all. I can even wear it under a mask without any issues.
ConsThe color is too grayish. As someone who only uses foundation, I was really surprised when I first squeezed out this BB cream! Apart from the color, I didn't find any other downsides. It seems a bit pricey though. I received it as part of The Hwahae Testers program and used it for a few weeks. While I'm satisfied with the product, if I were spending my own money, I might add a bit more and buy something else.
TipIt's moisturizing and doesn't pill even when applied over emulsion! Those who dislike dry foundations will probably love this.

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThis is a review from The Hwahae Testers. First off, the product has a Shiny Skin Color with subtle shimmer. The shade has a slightly ashy undertone rather than pure beige. When applied to the skin, it has a pleasant scent reminiscent of grapes. As it's a functional product designed for calming, it definitely makes the skin feel comfortable. These days, with constant mask-wearing, I've been experiencing more blemishes. I think this BB cream might be just what's needed in such situations. Moreover, I believe it would be particularly beneficial for quick soothing and improvement after laser treatments or dermatological procedures. When applied, there's no itching sensation, and you can feel your skin improving. The lightweight texture is surprisingly good at covering pores, which is a plus. The shimmer gives the skin a subtle glow. If your focus is on covering blemishes rather than achieving a bright, polished makeup look, I'd recommend this product. Its suitability may vary depending on your specific needs.
ConsI have a fall warm tone with a hint of spring warm undertones, around shade 22. On my complexion, the ashy color appeared slightly whitish. I wonder if it would have been better in a beige tone, so that's a bit disappointing. Alternatively, it would be nice if they offered two different shade options. The biggest drawback is the darkening effect. While it applies lightly on the skin with decent coverage, it darkens significantly. After just an hour, it matches my natural skin tone, and it might even make my skin look darker than usual. This is an area that needs improvement. The same issue persists even when mixed with other foundations. It's also disappointing that it completely wipes off when wearing a mask. I think it might be suitable for quick outings or when your skin isn't at its best. I wish the shimmer could be expressed more naturally as well.
TipApply a small amount to the back of your hand and use a makeup puff to spread it evenly on your face. Due to the darkening issue, on days when you're going out, it might be best to lightly layer another foundation over the BB cream.

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThis absorbs beautifully. It glides on like a dream, almost as if you're applying a luxurious cream. It applies smoothly without any patchiness, leaving your skin feeling hydrated. There's also decent coverage. A little goes a long way - you can cover your entire face with just a small amount. As someone who doesn't like a shiny face, especially in summer, I find that setting it with some powder helps with longevity.
ConsI was surprised by the grayish tone. I usually use shade 21, but this seems a bit dark for me. As time passes, it darkens even more, making my face appear duller. The biggest drawback is the lack of sun protection. I know we should apply sunscreen separately before makeup, but in this hot weather, layering sunscreen under foundation or cushion often leads to excess oil and makeup breakdown. That's why I sometimes skip sunscreen, which makes the absence of SPF in this product particularly disappointing.

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThis is a review from The Hwahae Testers. - Skin type: Shade 21. Sensitive and dry. Prone to redness and itching on cheeks when using products with high oil content or incompatible ingredients. - Usual base makeup: I prioritize ingredients over coverage. With semi-matte bases, I rarely need touch-ups. I prefer foundation over cushions. I've enjoyed using a full bottle of Estée Lauder's Future... something. - Coverage: Decent coverage by my standards, but needs to be applied thinly. Being a BB cream and blemish balm, it has a strong grayish tone. Layering doesn't increase coverage, just adds a dull sheen. - Adherence: Due to my current poor skin condition, it doesn't adhere well when applied with fingers or brush. It adheres better when thinly applied with a damp beauty sponge. - Blemishes: No significant breakouts occurred.
ConsThe color is too gray. The coverage is a bit weak, so layering emphasizes the gray sheen instead of increasing coverage. As a blemish balm, it has a moisturizing texture. Right after application, the glow makes the skin look decent despite the somewhat low coverage. However, after about 2 hours, whether due to oil or the current weather, my face felt stuffy and my skin texture and pores became more noticeable. There was also some darkening.
TipIt's crucial to apply this product very thinly. The photo shows the result after two layers, which is just right. Don't be tempted to apply more! I recommend using a damp beauty sponge. It's great for quickly applying before short outings. My skin condition is terrible right now, so I plan to use it again once it improves.

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsAs everyone mentions, the way it absorbs is truly exceptional! As someone who typically only uses a thin layer of cushion foundation, I was concerned it might apply too thickly. However, thanks to its moisturizing texture, it's perfect for spreading thinly with your fingers. I prefer a natural, sheer makeup look after using a pearlescent base, so I appreciated that this BB cream provides a subtle glow. Lastly, I love that it has a floral scent rather than a typical cosmetic fragrance!
ConsThe darker shade 23 is still too light for my skin tone. While it does brighten the complexion, you'd need to use it sparingly or mix it with a darker shade. This product has a heavy, grayish cast. As a result, I only use it very thinly for quick errands. I knew it was a single-shade BB cream, but I hoped it would be more natural-looking. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case. Also, when you have blemishes or uneven skin texture, the pearl finish actually accentuates these issues, making them more noticeable. Another downside is that you need to use a separate sunscreen. Lastly, given its high price point, I probably won't repurchase.

I have combination dehydrated skin prone to blemishes and scarring. I usually mix Age20's and Dermacol products. This one absorbs well and is incredibly hydrating. My usual products tend to emphasize dead skin cells in the afternoon, but this one keeps my skin moisturized for so long that there's no flaking even later in the day. It also gives a subtle glow that makes my skin look healthy, but it's not artificial - just a natural, soft radiance. I personally love the scent too. It adheres well to the skin, making makeup last longer. I don't often touch up my makeup, and even when it starts to fade, it doesn't settle into my pores, which is great. Despite having blemish-prone skin, I didn't experience any breakouts during the two-week trial period.
ConsThe downsides are the high price and the light coverage. I have a lot of acne scars that make my skin look uneven, and this doesn't cover them well. There's also a slight grayish tint typical of BB creams, which might not be suitable for a bright, radiant makeup look.
TipMixing it with Dermacol foundation provides coverage while still making your skin look great. Finishing with a light dusting of No Sebum Powder can extend the wear time even more!

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThis is a review from The Hwahae Testers! First off, it's been a while since I won a tester review, and it's for a BB cream I like! I received it with high expectations. I used various BB creams throughout my 20s before switching to foundation about 2 years ago, so I was really excited to try a BB cream again after so long. @Application The application is incredibly smooth. When you touch it, it feels like clay used for pottery - so silky and smooth that it almost slips through your fingers. It applies evenly with a sponge too. It doesn't look cakey on the skin and applies with a moisturizing finish, which would be perfect for those with dry skin. @Feel The lightweight and soft feel is... truly unlike anything I've experienced before!
ConsUnfortunately, the downsides were more noticeable than the positives for this product. @Scent Personally, I prefer cosmetics with little to no fragrance, so as soon as I opened the lid, I was put off by the strong floral or soapy scent. It was familiar but overpowering for my taste. @Color I have a darker complexion, so I usually mix shade 23 and 21 foundations. However, this product somehow turned my skin an ashy gray color. It was a truly shocking shade. I just checked the price and... wow!
TipEven mixing it with my shade 21 foundation doesn't get rid of the grayish tint. I'm not sure if it's just because of my darker skin tone, but it's really disappointing.
