A damp beauty sponge is a must-have. It gives you that celebrity-like complexion.

There's nothing bad to say... except that it's been discontinued, which has me desperately searching for a new foundation.

This is my holy grail. I bought it because it's advertised as a foundation that doesn't clog pores, which is perfect for me since I'm very sensitive to pore-clogging ingredients. It outperforms even high-end department store brands. First off, I've never had any blemishes from falling asleep without washing my face while wearing this. The coverage, hydration, and staying power are superior to most luxury brands. Just remember, you need to apply it with a damp beauty sponge for the best results.

레드 파운데이션 2.0 [SPF30/PA++] [21호]

It's beneficial to establish a solid skincare foundation.

It's disappointing that I couldn't buy it because it was sold out. I hope it comes back in stock soon.

It's fantastic that it didn't cause any blemishes. This product is really suitable for acne-prone skin.

The limited range of foundation shades is a drawback. I wish they would release more shades to match different complexions.

To be honest, I bought this product without high expectations, but I was surprised by how well it covers. In fact, I couldn't use any other product while using this one. Recently, I haven't been able to purchase it due to it being out of stock.

While the coverage is great and the matte finish is nice, it can be a bit drying on the skin. This might be why it causes fewer blemishes compared to other products, but it doesn't completely prevent them. To combat this, I mix it with a cica serum, which helps maintain hydration and seems to keep blemishes at bay.

As someone with blemish-prone skin and visible pores, I've tried countless makeup products. This one stands out for its excellent coverage. On days I wear it, I often get compliments on how good my skin looks. The slightly matte formula works particularly well for combination dehydrated skin or oily skin types, rather than dry skin.

It's been discontinued! Bring it back, please! Oh my, what am I supposed to use now?

This product was a perfect match for me with excellent coverage, but unfortunately it's been discontinued...

You really need to use the tiniest amount when applying. Controlling the quantity is absolutely essential!

The only downside is that it transfers a bit. But I still love it because it doesn't cause any redness or blemishes after use.

When will this be restocked? I'm desperate! There's nothing better for acne-prone skin.

Apply a thin layer and set it with powder for best results.

The staying power isn't great, and it tends to darken quite a bit over time... Maybe it's just me, but I'm not really a fan.

The coverage is fantastic! The ivory shade is just right, giving a natural look.

I must admit, after a long time, it does tend to break down a bit. But no worries, a quick touch-up does the trick!

For acne-prone skin, there's truly no better foundation than this one. I can wear makeup every day without any blemishes appearing. It's such an amazing product. Please, please restock it soon!

The absorbs well and coverage were so good that it worked well whether I used a brush, puff, or my hands.

I searched extensively on Hwahae for products with good ingredients, and this one seemed perfect without PEGs or other problematic components. So I bought it, but I just can't figure out why it doesn't work for me. I had high hopes because of the great ingredients, but now that I've stopped using it for a while, my skin has cleared up. If I use this product again, I'm sure something will break out. It causes inflamed, pus-filled blemishes... I'm sure it's great for those who can use it, but for me, it's just another waste of money. It's really hard to find the right foundation, just like with shampoos.

The absorbs well and has great coverage. But above all, the ingredients~!! I have sensitive skin that's prone to blemishes - usually when I wear makeup, something breaks out, and even after cleansing and sleeping, the blemishes calm down only to flare up again when I apply makeup. The shade also worked well for me - I'm a spring warm tone and liked the #21. It was also good for winter use, providing just the right amount of hydration.

Since others say it's fine, those with less sensitive skin might want to give it a try... oh well... sigh...

Why on earth! Everyone else says it's fine! Why is it always me? Blemishes... sigh... The coverage and application were exactly what I wanted, but the blemishes... oh well...

1) After wearing makeup for a short time, red spots appeared on both cheeks.

1-1) I didn't realize it was this product at first because it calmed down after not wearing makeup for three days. But when I tried it again for two consecutive days, I got blemishes on my nose bridge (which rarely happens), and red bumps and tiny spots on my cheeks and forehead. My face felt burning and tingling when washing. Tried again the following week with similar results.

2) Might be too dry for winter or dry skin types.

3) Can accentuate dead skin cells if not careful.

My skin is super sensitive combination dehydrated, a true sensitive boss that breaks out with tiny bumps when I'm sleep-deprived or eat flour-based foods, greasy meals, or drink alcohol. My poor skin gets irritated easily if I use the wrong cosmetics. After taking medication for a few months in 2020, it's slightly better than before, and wearing less makeup post-COVID has helped too. In 2022, I had a setback with a quack dermatologist, but I'm back on proper medication and improving. As of September, it's much better.

1) Absorbs lightly (doesn't feel heavy or cakey)

2) Nicely brightens the complexion (shade 21 for my skin tone)

3) No particularly harmful ingredients

4) Decent coverage

I recommend mixing it with other foundations that have better adherence and staying power, and carrying a small container of it with you for touch-ups.

It seems the longevity and transfer are unavoidable issues, to be honest.

I struggled a lot with blemishes during middle school, so I've been using only Medicube products from then until now as an adult, focusing on ingredients and coverage. I think I trust it more because it's a Y*ujin company!
