It provides just the right amount of hydration. The brightening effect is moderate. You can go foundation-free with this. It's been discontinued. Please bring it back! I've become a skincare nomad. Sigh, what should I buy now? - Hwahae UserDry SkinAcne SkinSensitive SkinMay 16, 2022
It brightens, moisturizes, and illuminates the skin. Perfect for subtly enhancing your complexion when going for a natural look. It works well for my skin. If I had to point out a potential drawback, it might look a bit off depending on your skin tone. - Hwahae UserCombination SkinAcne SkinSensitive SkinApr 27, 2021
After my usual Etude sunscreen was discontinued, I switched to this product. It has a definite brightening effect that instantly illuminates my face. Even when I apply BB cream or foundation on top, my complexion maintains that brightened state to some extent. Since it functions as both a sunscreen and makeup base, it can feel a bit thick and heavy. If I don't do a thorough deep cleanse when removing my makeup, I sometimes get a few blemishes. For reference, I have slightly oily, combination skin. If you apply just the right amount of this sunscreen, its brightening effect is enough to go out for quick errands without needing BB cream or foundation. This product alone can suffice for those occasions. - Hwahae UserDry SkinJan 20, 2021
I've been using this since high school and throughout my adult years. It really brightens up my complexion! Sometimes in winter, it can leave a slight white cast, but it's not an everyday occurrence - just happens occasionally. As for pilling, it's fine if you apply your skincare base meticulously before using this product. - Hwahae UserCombination SkinAcne SkinSep 22, 2020
It does a great job of evening out skin tone. When applied, it brightens up your complexion like a whitening cream. The texture absorbs well, and the mild scent is pleasant, so there's no discomfort. If you don't apply it properly and just leave it, it can develop a white cast after a while, making your skin look pale. - Hwahae UserNormal SkinMay 27, 2020
I've been using this for several bottles now. I don't use any other makeup, just this, and my skin naturally becomes brighter as if I'm not wearing anything! Even when I don't wash my face well after applying this, I don't get any blemishes... haha. And because it has a pink tint, it seems to make my complexion look really radiant. There's not really anything to complain about... but for those with dry skin, it might be better to apply this after generously moisturizing with an emulsion! - Hwahae UserDry SkinAtopy SkinSensitive SkinMar 17, 2020
I've been using this product for 8 years, from when I was 17 in high school until now at 25. I've tried various alternatives in between, but I still haven't found anything that matches up to this... haha. I think I've seen the packaging change about 4 times now! First off, it's affordable! If you buy it during a 1+1 promotion, you can get it for a really great price. The brightening effect is outstanding. If you apply the right amount, it gives enough coverage that you might not even need makeup. When applied after a rich cream, it doesn't feel dry at all. Using this product alone might feel a bit dry, but that could be because I have dry skin. If you prep your skin well before applying, it keeps your skin hydrated all day long! If you apply too much, it can look cakey! It almost looks like dead skin cells... My boyfriend once teased me saying I had 'dirt' on my face. Also, if your skin is a bit dry, it doesn't absorb well at all. Make sure to prep your skin thoroughly. I apply this after using the yellow Dr. Jart cream, and when I do it this way, it hardly ever looks cakey! - Hwahae UserDry SkinMar 12, 2020
- Brightening moisturizer effect First off, this product works as a brightening moisturizer, so I could use it like a makeup base. I was surprised by how powerfully it brightens the skin! It really makes your complexion noticeably lighter, even more so than many other brightening moisturizers out there. - Staying power For me, this product had quite good staying power. - Price Compared to other sunscreens, I think the price is relatively affordable for what you get. - Scent It has a very strong, artificial cosmetic smell. If it wasn't so intense, it would be fine, but with this product, the fragrance is consistently bothersome every time I use it. I wish they had toned it down a bit. - Pilling While it has good staying power, it tends to pill easily, so you need to pat it in well. Later on, you might find it's all pilled up and white, which is a total disaster. - Dryness Honestly, this was probably the worst aspect for me. I have dry skin, but this is extremely drying. You know how some products feel moisturizing when you apply them but finish matte? Well, this isn't like that at all. It feels dry when you apply it, stays dry after application, and gets even drier as hours pass. Even in the peak of summer heat, it was too drying. I think this product might only be suitable for those with extremely oily skin. - Ingredients While I can't say the ingredients are bad overall, there are a few concerning ingredients that bother me. - Hwahae UserCombination SkinAcne SkinSensitive SkinMar 5, 2020
I've been using this product for 4 years now, and I love that it can brighten my complexion and provide sun protection at the same time. Compared to BB creams or cushions, it doesn't damage my skin as much. Plus, I've noticed my skin has become a bit fairer after continuous use! It's a bit disappointing that it can sometimes pill or clump slightly, and its staying power isn't very strong - it tends to transfer easily. While it's definitely gentler on the skin than foundation, it can make my skin itchy and cause small blemishes to appear, so thorough cleansing is necessary. It also feels quite drying, and in areas prone to dead skin cells like the nose, cheeks, and between the brows, it can emphasize flakiness if you don't exfoliate well. Make sure to apply a good base skincare routine before using this product! - Hwahae UserDry SkinJan 1, 2020
As someone who doesn't usually wear makeup, I love how this brightens my complexion and gives me a radiant look If you apply too much, your face can look overly pale, making it seem disconnected from the rest of your body I've been replacing my usual foundation by first applying a generous amount of regular sunscreen, then layering a thin coat of this product on top
