The lightweight and sturdy packaging makes it convenient to carry and use anytime, anywhere. 2. The design is clean and masculine, so I don't feel self-conscious about using it during outdoor activities. 3. There's no risk of it breaking or leaking, the pump works well, and the separate cap ensures hygienic use. 4. The smooth, velvety texture applies nicely, and it feels similar to regular sunscreen products, which is familiar. 5. As an all-in-one product with UV protection, whitening, and anti-aging benefits, it's incredibly convenient for men who don't want to use multiple products. 6. With skin irritation and acne-prone skin tests completed, I can use it with confidence.
Cons1. With a 50ml volume and a retail price of 25,000 won, the cost-effectiveness is debatable. 2. Compared to other all-in-one men's sun care products, the uniqueness of this tone-up lotion is not very apparent. I've used the HAZZYS MEN RULE429 Whitening Sun All-in-One before, and the differences are unclear - it feels like just a different name. 3. Since it has sun care functions, it may be too greasy for those with oily skin types. While the oily feeling after 1-2 hours of application can be tolerated, the initial greasy sensation is already present. 4. Nowadays, there are many refreshing sun care products available, so those with oily skin like me may not have a strong reason to choose this product specifically. The tone-up effect is noticeable, but it has a more artificial, whitening appearance rather than a natural glow.
TipApplying a light layer of toner first can help reduce the greasy feeling. If the whitening effect is too much, mixing it with a regular lotion can improve the texture and create a more natural tone-up result.

First impression, the packaging is clean and easy to pump, so it was very convenient to use. A small amount can cover the entire face with just one pump, so it seems like it would be enough to apply it all over. In my opinion, the texture is good, and the right balance of moisture and oil, so there is no sticky or thick feeling after application. Another good thing is that since I'm a man, I was a bit concerned that it might look too shiny or white on my skin tone, but this product blends in naturally and provides good coverage. Moreover, the UV protection effect is high, so I think one pump before going out can provide sufficient sun protection and natural coverage.
ConsSome things I was a bit disappointed with while using it, The right balance of moisture and oil was there, but in the future, as it gets hotter and the humid summer comes, there might be a slightly stuffy feeling due to the oil content, so I think it would be better if there was a bit more moisture. However, it should be fine in other seasons besides the hot summer. Another downside, or it could be an advantage, is that the tone-up effect and coverage are natural, which is a plus for someone like me who likes natural looks, but those expecting a high tone-up effect might find it lacking.
TipWhen I first pumped it, the packaging was small and the pump opening was small, so I had to pump it several times, but surprisingly, a small amount can cover and provide coverage for the entire face, so it's better to just pump a small amount once or twice. Since the texture is good, it's better to apply it by dotting it on the face with your fingertips rather than spreading it all over with the whole palm, which can help achieve a more natural coverage and tone-up effect.

Natural Tone-Up The tone-up was natural and satisfactory. It's not quite like foundation or BB cream, but somewhere in between foundation and tone-up cream. 2. Good Adherence The adherence was good, so there was less transfer onto the mask. It's not that it doesn't transfer at all, but it's closer to a matte finish than a dewy one. 3. Convenience Just apply the skin toner and this one product gives you a natural tone-up effect and sun protection all at once.
Cons1. Don't be fooled by the name 'lotion' Gentlemen, don't think of this as the kind of lotion you slather on before bed. You should think of it as a tone-up function-infused sunscreen. You can feel that something is applied on your face, just like with sunscreen. 2. Cleansing before bed is a must Since this is a product somewhere between tone-up cream and foundation, cleansing your face before bed is a must.

It spread on the skin effortlessly and felt comfortable. The pump-style packaging made it convenient to use, and the amount dispensed per pump was just right, not too much or too little. The amount that came out was just right for easy application, making it comfortable to use.
ConsIt doesn't absorb well. While it felt powdery and finished nicely when applied, it took a long time to fully absorb and left a noticeable residue. It seems like even just wiping with a wet wipe could remove it all, suggesting strong cleansing properties. But if it's going to sit on the surface that much, it feels like it defeats the purpose of applying it in the first place. I wonder if I didn't give it enough time to absorb. After applying and patting it in for 30 minutes, I was able to wipe it off easily with my hands... But no matter what, it is just way too reluctant to absorb. Using a sponge or pad might help, but I don't have any makeup tools since I normally just use sunscreen without any other makeup. It was marketed as a tone-up lotion, but it doesn't seem targeted at people who don't use makeup tools. In any case, I think I'll have to give up on using this product.
