- Hwahae UserDry SkinSensitive SkinMay 6, 2025
I was curious about this product, so I looked up reviews on Hwahae and they seemed pretty good. That's why I decided to give it a try. First off, the texture is quite thin. All the BB creams and brightening moisturizers I own are beige-toned, but this one has a pink hue. When I first applied it, I thought, 'Oh no, did I make a mistake?' My face looked pale, like I had a white cast, and it didn't absorb immediately. But as I continued to spread it and help it absorb, once it was fully applied, it looked natural, as if it were my own skin, giving me a radiant complexion in natural light. On the day I went out wearing this, someone asked what I'd done to my skin, saying it looked great. It seems to excel at its job as a brightening moisturizer. However, the coverage isn't particularly high. While it didn't cause any blemishes, I have very dry skin, and during seasonal changes or when my skin is extremely dehydrated, this product sometimes pills a bit when applied. Rather than using a puff or brush, I find it adheres to the skin better when you spread it with your hands, using your body heat, and then pat it in to help it absorb. - Hwahae UserDehydrated SkinAcne SkinSensitive SkinNov 28, 2023
Here's my review after using it for about a week. I usually use a pink base before foundation to neutralize my yellow skin tone. The previous product from another brand kept causing blemishes, so I decided to try this one. 1. It naturally brightens and evens out my yellow complexion. I always go for pink bases as pure white can make me look dull and ashy. This one provides just the right amount of color correction, making my skin look radiant. It's perfect as a base before foundation! 2. It doesn't get excessively oily over time. After trying various products, I've found that some initially seem fine but become greasy as time passes, making my skin look muddy. This one doesn't do that! It maintains the makeup well throughout the day. 3. It has sun protection. An unexpected bonus in a brightening moisturizer! It's gentler on the skin and more convenient as I don't need to apply sunscreen separately. 4. It doesn't cause blemishes. With my previous product, I often experienced itching and occasional red spots after going out. Since switching to this, those issues have disappeared! Considering the base is the only thing I've changed, this product seems to have gentle and good ingredients. 5. It absorbs quickly and well. My routine involves applying base after showering, then drying my hair before applying foundation. Even with my short hair that dries quickly, by the time I'm ready for foundation, this base has absorbed perfectly, creating an ideal canvas! After absorption, it doesn't feel sticky or shiny, but rather like a light, adhering coating. 6. Easy to control amount The narrow opening that can stand upright makes it super easy to control the amount used! 1. Personally, I wish it was a bit more hydrating. Maybe because I used to use a tone-up 'cream' rather than a base? It's not drying at all after application, but I feel it could be just a tad more moisturizing! Just slightly lacking, you know? But it's still way better than products that become oily over time, causing makeup to melt off. 2. The scent might be divisive? There's a subtle rose or floral scent. I'm not a fan of such fragrances, but it doesn't bother me much when using it! The scent is definitely not overpowering. 3. The natural tone correction is (in my opinion) not enough for a foundation-free look! If you have really good skin with no visible pores and a natural glow, this might be enough on its own. But for average skin like mine, relying solely on this for base makeup feels a bit lacking. For best results, finish your skincare routine to ensure your skin is well-hydrated and firm, then apply a thin layer of this brightening moisturizer focusing on areas you want to even out before applying makeup. It applies and absorbs well with just your fingers! If you feel a bit dry while applying foundation, lightly mist your face and gently pat with a sponge. This will give your skin a healthy glow! - Hwahae UserCombination SkinAug 23, 2023
It gives a nice pink brightening effect and is gentle on the skin. I love that it has a high sun protection factor too. It makes my skin slightly glowy and shimmery - I'm not sure if it's from pearls or just a natural glow, but I like it! The scent might be hit or miss for some people. Also, it's a bit on the oily side. I don't mind it, but those with very oily skin might find it challenging to use in summer. - Hwahae UserCombination SkinSensitive SkinJul 5, 2022
A great tone-up base for a light summer layer. It doesn't clump and gives a nice skin finish without being sticky. It feels moisturizing when applied, but settles to a slightly more matte finish - not dry, just perfectly balanced. The base has a subtle pink tint that brightens the face beautifully. I use this instead of sunscreen when I'm too lazy for a full makeup routine. I love its high SPF - unlike regular sunscreens that leave a gray cast, this gives a natural, radiant look. The size is perfect for my hands, which are a bit large for a woman. It's compact enough to carry in your bag for touch-ups, like you would with sunscreen. The color difference is noticeable - the right side is with the product, the left without. I wish it came in a larger size. I prefer buying bigger volumes to avoid frequent purchases - maybe something like 100ml? The opaque packaging means I have to guess the remaining amount by weight. However, I'm so satisfied with the product that I'll definitely repurchase when I run out. It works great when mixed with a matte cushion foundation. Just squeeze a bit out, blend it with the cushion, and apply. You get sun protection, added hydration, and a slight pink tint for a brighter complexion.
