It leaves a moisturized finish with a subtle glow, without feeling greasy or messy. The result is natural and beautiful. While it's great on its own, for those like me who need more coverage, it works well as a base before makeup without any pilling or clumping. It seems to improve adherence and longevity of makeup too! Since it's not sticky and doesn't transfer, it's perfect for these times when masks are a must.
ConsIt's not an extremely hydrating type, so those with dry skin might find it a bit drying during winter.

I've used about 5 tubes of the Holika Tone Up Cream Fresh, which I absolutely adore. But lately, it's been feeling a bit dry, so when I heard about the new Tone Up Serum, I decided to give it a try! Here's a comparison: The Tone Up Cream Fresh is white, giving a beautifully bright complexion. It feels slightly sticky when applying and can pill a bit if you layer it, but it leaves your skin looking matte. It has great staying power and doesn't transfer, which is why I've gone through about 5 tubes. As for the Tone Up Cream Glow, I felt it only gave surface-level shine. It also transferred easily, and I honestly don't even know where mine is after using it once or twice. If you're considering this one, I'd say the Tone Up Serum is a better choice. The Tone Up Serum has a thin, creamy texture and a pink tint, which gives a more natural brightening effect. It applies smoothly with a hydrating feel and no stickiness. It doesn't clump or pill when layered, which is great! However, it did feel a bit dry after fully absorbing. The finish has more of a glow compared to the cream version. While its staying power isn't exceptional, it does last quite well. Oh, and it has sun protection, which is a bonus!
ConsI'll need to use it consistently to know for sure, but the hydration isn't as impressive as I'd hoped. Also, among Holika's tone-up products, the ingredients don't seem particularly outstanding, which is a bit disappointing.
TipIf you want a really natural, lively brightening effect from Holika's products, go for the Tone Up Serum. If you prefer a whiter, more matte finish, choose the Tone Up Cream Fresh. Update after 3 days: I've switched back to the Tone Up Cream. Unfortunately, the serum caused some blemishes for me.
