Unlike other brightening moisturizers or sunscreens that often sting around the eyes, this one doesn't irritate at all. It definitely evens skin tone, creating a subtle pink glow without any white cast, for a natural-looking complexion. The tube packaging ensures hygienic use. Its slightly runny texture glides smoothly along skin contours without pilling, allowing for even application. The skin feels balanced, not oily after use.
ConsThe scent is neutral but may not appeal to everyone. It leaves a white residue and makes hands feel excessively shiny after application. It seems to adhere more to hands than the face. Unfortunately, it doesn't provide sun protection, which is a drawback. As it's primarily a brightening moisturizer, expecting it to cover dark circles would be unrealistic.
TipThis product works perfectly on its own, whether applied before or after makeup. It guarantees a natural Inner Glow and effectively evens skin tone!

I applied sunscreen ➡️ brightening moisturizer ➡️ BB cream in that order, and I'm very satisfied as it absorbed even better than the BB cream alone on my dry winter skin, without any flaking. I've been using it daily. This isn't a brightening moisturizer that instantly lightens your complexion. Instead, it gradually brightens over time, giving you a natural, radiant look. It contains vitamin C, which is great for your skin. I have super sensitive skin - so sensitive that I can't even use cushion foundations. But I didn't experience any blemishes or irritation at all with this product :) It's perfect for areas where it's tricky to apply foundation, like the back of your hands or neck. It gives a natural brightness without any pilling, which I love.
ConsThe only downside is that it doesn't have UV protection, so you need to apply sunscreen separately.
TipI mixed it with BB cream, and here's a tip: If you want just a slight brightening effect on bare skin, use the brightening moisturizer alone. For a natural or full coverage, adjust the ratio of brightening moisturizer to BB cream (3:7 / 5:5 / 7:3) depending on the level of coverage you want. When applied with your fingers, it absorbs naturally into the skin.

It's great for those of us with dry skin! At first, it might seem to lighten your complexion quite a bit, but it eventually adjusts to match your natural skin tone. I love how it gives a soft-focus effect that's neither too natural nor too dramatic - just right!
ConsInitially, there's a strong herbal scent rather than a typical cosmetic fragrance. However, the scent gradually dissipates and becomes almost unnoticeable over time.
TipThis product is a real gem! I found that applying it with your hands, without any tools, gives a much more beautiful finish. So, skip the brushes and use your fingers!

It was great that there was no stinging or itching when applied. I did get some small blemishes, but I think that's more due to winter dryness rather than the product itself... Unfortunately, it's unavoidable since it's a brightening moisturizer and wearing a mask in cold wind after application is bound to have some effect. ○ It absorbs well without pilling when applied. ○ Just the right amount of hydration! No flaking or dead skin cells even after a few hours! ○ Not much coverage though. ○ Promises that 'Inner Glow' look. ○ Compared to other products, it seems to have longer-lasting effects. While other brightening moisturizers tend to fade by morning after applying before work, this one lasts into the afternoon! That's what I liked most about it! The ingredients, absorption, and lasting power are so good that you can go out wearing just this! It might not be suitable for very dry or very oily skin types though. Overall, I'm extremely satisfied with this product!
ConsEverything about it is great, except the scent is really disappointing! I'm not sure if it's supposed to be a vitamin scent, but it smells like clay or egg whites! The smell lingers inside your mask... It might vary from person to person, but for me, the scent was a deal-breaker... If only they changed the fragrance, this could become my go-to brightening moisturizer!

Application It has an incredibly smooth and hydrating emulsion texture. I usually apply a tone-correcting base before my makeup, and if the base is dry, it can affect how well the subsequent makeup applies. This product spreads easily with a soft, moisturizing feel and no patchiness. 2. Color I love the subtle pink tint - it's soft and gives a radiant look. In my experience, you don't need to apply a lot. Even with a small amount, while it doesn't dramatically whiten your face like flour, I could see it naturally neutralizing my yellow undertones. I prefer this subtle effect over overly whitening tone-up boosters - it looks more natural and pretty. 3. No Pilling My face isn't particularly dry, so after cleansing, toning, and moisturizing, I applied this product and experienced no pilling at all. It adhered well to my skin and absorbed nicely. 4. Glow Surprisingly, it works well on its own after proper skincare. It's perfect for quick errands or casual outings. It also imparts a nice glow, making your skin look beautiful. 5. No Blemishes, Gentle Formula Unlike products that don't suit my skin and cause blemishes or itching, this one didn't trigger any reactions. It felt incredibly gentle. There was no irritation, and it felt comfortable and light on my face.
ConsDrawbacks: 1. No Sun Protection Personally, I prefer products that combine sunscreen and base functions, as the routine of applying sunscreen, base, and then makeup can be a bit tedious. It's slightly disappointing that this doesn't offer that all-in-one solution. 2. Scent The fragrance is somewhat reminiscent of clay. While it didn't bother me particularly, those sensitive to scents might find it polarizing.
Tip- With tone-up base products like this, a small amount is usually sufficient for the entire face. - Its gentle formula makes it suitable for those with sensitive skin. - As it contains vitamin ingredients, store it in a cool place away from direct sunlight. - Applying too much can slow absorption, so use a moderate amount for best results.

To be frank, besides its moisturizing effect and its undeniably pretty brightening color, there's not much else to highlight. My skin has recently transitioned from dry to normal. I applied this after a simple routine of exfoliating toner and serum. Even with my typically dry skin, this moisturizer absorbs well, which I appreciate. Since I have super sensitive skin that often gets irritated with new products, I'm pleased that this didn't cause any issues!
ConsUnfortunately, it doesn't apply evenly, leaving a cakey feeling on my face. I tried my best to spread it out, but it just wouldn't cooperate. I'm not sure if I need to improve my base skincare routine or if there's another issue at play.
TipIf brightening moisturizers typically work well for you, you might find this one hydrating and suitable for your needs.

This has gentler ingredients than cover balms, which is reassuring. ✦ Hydration: Though not immediately noticeable, it provides a subtle, long-lasting hydration without any tightness. ✦ Application: Having thin skin, I'm sensitive to heavy products. This feels incredibly light and comfortable, like a basic skincare step. It doesn't clog pores and leaves skin feeling fresh and unrestricted. ✦ Natural brightening: Initially, it may look a bit white like sunscreen, but it soon blends in naturally. The effect is more like skin under flattering lighting rather than makeup. Perfect for days when you want a brightened complexion without full makeup.
Cons✗ Coverage: It truly only brightens the complexion. As it's not a primer, it doesn't really cover pores or texture. Best suited for those with already flawless skin. ✗ Amount: At 30ml, it feels slightly less than usual. You might find yourself using more product as a light application isn't very noticeable.
TipFor best results, apply this right after your skincare routine, as you would with foundation. If you wait too long after your skincare steps, it may not absorb well and could sit on top of the skin.

I must have gone through at least 20 bottles by now. For context, my skin is atopic, dry, and combination with an oily T-zone. Here's why I love this product: 1. Natural brightening: Unlike other products that make you look like you're wearing stage makeup, this one gives a 'your skin but better' look. Friends have complimented my 'bare face' and improved complexion. It has a pink base that gives a lively glow (for real!). 2. Winter essential: Most brightening moisturizers finish matte, which can be drying. This one feels like it melds with your skin, combating deep dryness. It's perfect for those rushed mornings when you don't have time for a full skincare routine. 3. Beautiful skin finish: While matte products can emphasize pores and dead skin cells, this one gives a dewy look (with just a bit of product settling near the nose). It's great for achieving that coveted 'glass skin' effect! 4. No pilling: One of my biggest frustrations with other products was how they would pill or flake off. This one doesn't do that at all - what a stress-reliever! 5. Easy to layer: You can easily build up to your desired level of coverage. Unlike other products that turn you ghostly white, this one allows for precise control. Highly recommended for makeup beginners!
ConsConsiderations: - Fragrance: While I didn't notice it much, my sister said there was a slight scent. Super sensitive skin types should keep this in mind. - Longevity: Due to its hydrating nature, it doesn't last as long as some others. However, it's still better than average. I pair it with a makeup fixer for the perfect combo of dewy finish and staying power. - Personal preference: If you're not a fan of dewy looks, this might not be for you. However, if you want a natural brightening effect without the dewiness, try applying a no-sebum powder over it for a two-in-one solution!
TipPro tip: Apply some no-sebum powder on your nose and forehead after using this product. It reduces oiliness and improves staying power in areas where makeup tends to wear off. Quick summary: - Natural brightening - Beautiful skin finish - Easy to layer - No pilling - Great for beginners - Essential for busy mornings - Winter must-have Psst... word on the street is that this is the top pick of a brightening moisturizer veteran with years of experience!

With the cold winds and chilly weather lately, my skin has been feeling dry and rough, so I've been drawn to vitamin-enriched products. I was pleased to feel like this one provided extra protection for my skin. ⭐️ Hydration I needed some extra moisture for my face this winter, and I found that after applying my regular skincare and then this brightening moisturizer, my skin felt hydrated without feeling stuffy under a mask. It was great! ⭐️ Brightening Effect and Texture - The texture is as smooth and creamy as whipped cream, gliding on with a moisturizing feel! Highly recommended for those with dry skin! - I loved that the brightening effect wasn't an intense white cast, but rather a subtle, natural glow that brought life to my complexion.
ConsSince it's a brightening moisturizer, I can't guarantee its coverage capabilities. It's fine for quick errands, but for going out, I'd recommend pairing it with a concealer or a thin layer of foundation for better results. Also, I'm not a fan of the scent, unfortunately.
TipIt's great that it doesn't transfer onto masks! While it claims to have sun protection, I still consider sunscreen a must-have.

I was excited about this even before receiving it. With winter drying out my skin, I was planning to buy a vitamin-infused cream, but now I don't need to - which is great! ✓ Hydration: I have combination dehydrated skin prone to small blemishes. While it's labeled as 'glow', it's not quite dewy but rather a rich, moisturizing cream texture. The hydration level is quite good. ✓ Skin condition: It's perfect as a makeup base or for quick outings. Despite my sensitive skin, it didn't cause any blemishes and seems gentle. ✓ Scent: It has a typical cosmetic fragrance, but it's not overwhelming. Overall: It doesn't pill when used with foundation or other cosmetics, making it a decent base! Recommended for light makeup when wearing a mask.
ConsDownside: It doesn't provide coverage, so it won't conceal blemishes. The staying power also seems limited. Downside: I'm unsure about its sun protection, so I had to apply sunscreen separately. (Nevertheless, it's great for a quick application before working out - it's hydrating and doesn't feel stuffy under a mask.)
TipIt works well with concealer to cover blemishes. There's no pilling, so it's fine to use as a brightening moisturizer before applying foundation.
