It gives you that natural, bare-faced look easily.
ConsAfter just a day or two, your skin tone reverts to its original color. It feels thick and tends to pill. After application, your skin feels excessively dry.
TipFor better application, try mixing it with a toner or similar product.

ConsAlthough I used it for a while, it didn't quite suit me. Personally, I found it a bit drying.

I've tried sunscreens before but currently don't use any at all (every attempt has been a failure). I also avoid whitening products as they don't suit my skin. Despite this, I decided to try this brightening moisturizer, knowing I might risk a breakout. I understand that most brightening moisturizers contain UV protection and whitening ingredients. However, since I don't know which specific ingredients or concentrations affect me, I had to take a chance. I tried this product to escape from sticky foundations and cushions in the hot summer, attracted by its gentle ingredients. Texture & Application: It has a pure white texture with surprisingly smooth application and unexpected hydration. It spreads easily. White Cast? While the texture suggests a white cast, when gently applied, it creates a natural glow and evens skin tone. It's not super moisturizing for my dry skin, but it's manageable. Longevity & Skin Reaction: I checked after 6 hours. While the brightening effect wasn't as strong as right after application, I was personally satisfied. Most importantly, there were no blemishes, which usually appear within minutes if a product doesn't suit me. The ingredients and concentrations seem to work for my skin. Best Feature: It doesn't transfer to my mask when I go out, which I love. It seems that even with my super sensitive skin, I can finally use a brightening moisturizer. I'm not sure how it will perform when my skin condition isn't at its best though. I looked up the main ingredients: *Glutathione: Known for detoxification and immune-boosting properties in liver treatments, it also inhibits melanin production. *Niacinamide: A whitening ingredient *Lactobacillus ferment: Helps with skin adhesion
ConsIf I apply too much, it does create a white cast. It's better to layer it lightly. While it claims to be moisturizing, due to the nature of brightening moisturizers, there's a limit to how hydrating it can be. It might be challenging to use as a base for those with very dry skin.
TipIf you apply it over skincare products that haven't fully absorbed (like on damp skin), it pills terribly and is hard to blend, resulting in a severe white cast. Make sure to let your base products absorb completely before applying this. Note: In the hand swatch photo, only the lower half is applied with the product.

I usually use shade 21 for brightening products. 1. It has great absorption! It applies smoothly and feels moisturizing. Unless you look closely, you can't see it sitting on the skin, and if you apply your skincare products well beforehand, it shouldn't pill at all. 2. Natural brightening effect. It doesn't leave a white cast but naturally brightens the skin. I've tried brightening moisturizers before that made me look like a dumpling wrapper, but this one is actually good. 3. The scent is lovely. Lately, I've been using fragrance-free products with clean ingredients, so all my cosmetics are unscented. But I enjoy the fragrance of this one so much that I apply it to the back of my hand even when I don't need to use it.
Cons1. When I applied it to the back of my hand, there wasn't any issue, but it felt a bit itchy on my face. There was no burning sensation or redness. It might be due to my sensitive skin, but it makes me a little hesitant to use it. 2. This product alone isn't moisturizing enough and can leave a white cast.
TipMake sure to apply plenty of skincare products before using this! While the product itself is moisturizing, if you don't apply your skincare thoroughly, areas like your nose can become dry.

My skin is on the lighter side, so I use shade 19. For reference, my skin type is prone to small blemishes and tends to be dehydrated. The Cellmax brightening moisturizer comes in a tube format, which is convenient to squeeze out and use. I appreciate that it's hygienic. Plus, it's small and portable, making it perfect to carry around! I love how it doesn't dramatically brighten but gives a natural-looking finish. When used alone, it blends seamlessly with your skin, ideal for a light makeup look. It also works beautifully when mixed with my usual cushion or foundation. I was pleasantly surprised by its staying power - it exceeded my expectations! It even held up well into the evening. Just make sure to have a solid skincare routine as a base.
ConsThose with dry skin might find it a bit drying to use! I recommend applying it over a well-prepped skincare base for the best results.
TipMixing it with your skincare products can help reduce the drying effect. I'd recommend this to anyone looking for a natural makeup look.

The level of brightening may vary depending on your natural complexion, but I like that it's not excessive. Personally, I tend to go for a darker makeup look and use shade 25 foundation, but there are times when I want to look more radiant. This product is perfect for those days.
ConsIf you have slightly dry skin and don't apply a hydrating base, you might feel a bit of dryness. I noticed the feel varied depending on my skincare routine...
TipMake sure to apply a solid skincare base, let it absorb, and then apply this product!

My skin is quite sensitive, so if I use a product that doesn't suit me, it reacts immediately. That's why I don't usually try new cosmetics, but the ingredients looked good, so I applied for The Hwahae Testers! Scent: It has a slight baby-like fragrance. I personally found it pleasant, but it might be a hit or miss for some people! Texture: When I first applied it to the back of my hand, it had an incredibly moisturizing and smooth texture that spreads easily. Skin irritation: While testing it on my face, I didn't feel any irritation at all. I think anyone who doesn't have extremely sensitive skin can use this without worry. Absorption: When I applied it to the back of my hand, it felt very moisturizing, so I had high hopes. However, when I spread it on my face, it absorbed quickly and actually left my skin feeling dry. Hydration: I highly recommend applying plenty of moisturizer before using this. Once you apply it to your skin, it dries quickly and can feel dehydrating. Since it's a brightening moisturizer, there's a limit to how much hydration you can add on top of it. Complexion & Skin texture: It evens skin tone naturally, but if your skin is rough, it might actually highlight dead skin cells unattractively. If you apply it after proper moisturizing and exfoliation, I think it could work well for daily use!
ConsAfter application, it feels quite drying, and since my skin texture hasn't been great lately, it seems to emphasize that even more...
TipThis product seems perfect for those with good skin condition and few blemishes. You can achieve a naturally beautiful, even skin tone. It's also great value for money, so I'd recommend it for students!

I'd opt for BB creams or makeup instead. But as I've gotten older, I've wanted something to brighten my complexion without full makeup. When I was selected as a Hwahae Tester, I tried it immediately upon delivery. The next day, I applied it lightly before going shopping, and wow! My skin looked radiant without any unnatural cast. Unlike sunscreens, it didn't dry out my skin or leave an oily residue. It just brightened my complexion by a shade, leaving it neither powdery nor matte, but with a natural, non-greasy finish. I think this would work well for anyone from students to 40-somethings like me.
ConsOf course, applying too much can make you look like a ghost. Whether it's a brightening moisturizer or BB cream, controlling the amount is absolutely crucial! While it worked well for my combination skin that leans dry, those with very dry skin might find it a bit drying. This is my first time using such a product, so I don't have anything to compare it to, but overall, I'm extremely satisfied.
TipIt's important to pat it on evenly all over. Don't forget - moderation is key!

Also, it contains whitening ingredients, so they say consistent use can lead to a fairer complexion. ● Portable Its compact size makes it easy to carry around! It's so lightweight! ● Absorption!? It seems to absorb into the skin right away. You might even wonder if you've applied anything at all! ※※※※To be honest, I didn't find many positives while using this product. I think it just didn't suit my skin type very well. (It's crucial to use cosmetics that match your skin type, so I'd recommend doing a patch test before purchasing. Even among those with dry or sensitive skin, some people might find a product works well for them while others don't!)※※※※
Cons□ Longevity It only looks bright right after application, but this effect doesn't seem to last long, which is disappointing. □ Dryness Maybe it's because I have extremely dry skin, but my skin felt very dry after applying it. I wish it was a bit more hydrating. □ Slight pilling Either I didn't let my skincare absorb well enough, or there was a bit of pilling when I applied this product.

Usually, these products contain many harsh components, but this one only has a somewhat strong fragrance. The scent might be a matter of personal preference, and I wondered if they could have focused more on advertising the safe ingredients without the fragrance. As someone who doesn't wear much makeup and only uses a tinted sunscreen as a makeup base with a bit of lip tint, I find this product quite satisfactory. A small amount is enough to even out my skin tone without looking like I'm wearing makeup. It seems perfect for students or those who don't wear much makeup but want to avoid looking dull. If you apply it lightly over your skincare routine, it makes your skin look bright and hydrated. The instant brightening effect is noticeable, so if you're not too demanding, you can achieve a natural, glowing look that doesn't appear overly made-up. The staying power seems decent as well. I usually apply it once and don't reapply throughout the day. While it may get a bit dry, the brightening effect seems to last quite long. Lately, I've been stressed about my dull complexion, and using a CC cream felt too heavy and seemed to darken by evening. In such cases, this product is convenient as it provides light coverage and doesn't require additional cleansing.
ConsEssential moisturizing for dry skin I have very dry skin with a lot of peach fuzz, and it gets even drier in cold weather. When I applied only the brightening moisturizer, I felt some tightness. Applying it over a thorough skincare routine made it spread much better and kept my skin feeling moisturized for longer. Some might feel the amount is small compared to the price. It's about the size of a large ointment tube.
