I was thrilled to be selected! 1. The lightweight yet sturdy packaging makes it convenient to carry and use anywhere, anytime. 2. The design is sleek and masculine, making it comfortable to use outdoors without feeling self-conscious. 3. No worries about breakage or leaks, and the pump dispenser is great. The separate cap ensures hygienic use. 4. The texture is creamy yet soft, absorbs well, and feels similar to typical sunscreens, which is familiar. 5. It's an all-in-one product with UV protection, brightening, and anti-wrinkle benefits - perfect for men who dislike applying multiple products. 6. It's passed both low-irritation and acne-prone skin tests, so it seems safe to use with peace of mind.
Cons1. At 50ml for 25,000 won retail, it's hard to say if it's truly cost-effective. 2. It's difficult to distinguish this brightening moisturizer from other all-in-one men's products with sunscreen. I've used HAZZYS MEN RULE429 Whitening Sun All-in-One before, and I can't really tell the difference. It feels like just a different name? 3. Due to its sun protection properties, it might feel a bit heavy for those with oily skin. It's understandable to get oily after 1-2 hours, but this feels greasy from the moment you apply it. Nowadays, there are many lightweight sunscreens available, so I wonder if those with oily skin like me would have a reason to choose this product. 4. As a brightening product, it definitely lightens the skin, but it feels more like the white cast from sunscreen rather than a natural brightening effect. While more men are wearing makeup these days, those who aren't at that level yet might find this uncomfortable.
TipApplying a light layer of toner before use can help reduce the greasy feeling. If the white cast bothers you, try mixing it with a bit of regular moisturizer. This can improve absorption and create a more natural brightening effect.

A single pump is enough to cover the entire face, which is great for efficient application. The texture is pleasant, with a balanced mix of hydration and richness that doesn't feel heavy or sticky after application. As a guy, I particularly appreciated how it blends seamlessly with my complexion without leaving a noticeable white cast or looking too obvious. The high SPF is an added bonus, making it perfect for a quick, protective layer before heading out.
ConsWhile the moisture-oil balance is generally good, I'm a bit concerned about how it might feel during the hot, humid summer months. A slightly more hydrating formula would be ideal for year-round use. Also, while the natural coverage works well for me and those who prefer a subtle effect, it might not satisfy those looking for more significant brightening or coverage.
TipWhen using for the first time, be careful not to over-pump - a little goes a long way with this product. For the best application, I'd recommend using your fingers to dot it around your face before blending it out, rather than applying it all at once. This method ensures an even, natural-looking finish that enhances your complexion without looking overdone.

Natural brightening effect The brightening effect is quite natural and pleasant. It's not as heavy as foundation or BB cream, but somewhere in between a foundation and a brightening moisturizer. 2. Excellent adherence It adheres well to the skin, so it's less likely to transfer onto your mask. It doesn't completely prevent transfer, but it's better than most. The finish is closer to matte than dewy. 3. Convenience After applying toner, you only need this one product to achieve a natural brightening effect and sun protection all in one step.
Cons1. Don't be misled by the term 'emulsion' Gentlemen, don't assume this is like the lightweight emulsion you pat on before bed. Think of it more as a sunscreen with added brightening properties. You can definitely feel it on your face, similar to sunscreen. 2. Cleansing is a must before bed Since this product falls somewhere between a brightening moisturizer and foundation, it's essential to cleanse your face thoroughly before going to sleep.

It spread easily, making application a breeze. The pump bottle is convenient to use, and the amount dispensed per pump is just right - not too much, not too little. It's perfect for smooth application.
ConsIt doesn't absorb into the skin. Initially, it felt nice with a powdery finish when applied, but even after a long time, it transfers like crazy. You could remove it with just a wet wipe, no cleansing product needed. While this might indicate good cleansing effectiveness, if it sits on top of the skin this much, it'll end up smearing everywhere, making me question the point of applying it at all. Thinking I might not have given it enough time to absorb, I tried smoothing it on, patting it in, and even after 30 minutes, it still wiped off easily. I'm not sure if it's because I applied it with my hands, but it just sits on the surface way too much. Maybe using a sponge or pad would work better, but I don't have those tools as I usually just apply sunscreen with my hands without any makeup. Although it's marketed as a brightening moisturizer, it doesn't seem targeted at those who use makeup tools. In any case, I think I'll have to give up on using this product.
