Normally, I don't wear makeup, and I only apply a tone-up sun cream. This product is a 'tone-up lotion', so it is much more fluid and applies more smoothly than tone-up creams. And since I applied it with a puff, the adherence and longevity were not bad, and there was almost no flaking or mask staining.
ConsWhen applied by hand, there was almost no feeling of adherence to the skin. Furthermore, it is extremely water-sensitive, so it seems quite cumbersome for men to use. Also, while it looks a bit brightening at first, it becomes a bit dull over time. I've never experienced darkening with tone-up creams before.
TipIf you apply it thinly with a puff, it's not bad for daily use.

It also has good coverage.
ConsWhile individual experiences may vary, for my oily skin, I felt a slightly whitish cast right after application for some time.
TipWhile full-fledged makeup like foundation may be burdensome, I would recommend this to men who want natural-looking skin brightening without the heavy feel.

This is a great item for those men. Texture: It's more of a cream than a lotion. It's not a moisturizing cream, but has more of a BB cream feel. It has a nice, creamy texture. Application: It applies smoothly and blends in well. Tone-up: It provides a natural-looking tone-up effect, but you need to apply and pat it in properly. It feels moisturizing and nice to use. If foundation or BB creams feel too heavy for you, this product would be a great option.
ConsTo be honest, it's not really suitable to use as a lotion. It has more of a BB cream-like feel. And while it has a sunblock effect, to get the full benefits of a sunscreen, you need to apply the proper amount, but if you apply that much, it can look too white and cakey. It's best to use a separate sunscreen and tone-up lotion. However, if you don't want to use multiple products, this one could work as an adequate and decent option. I'll probably use this product when I want to go out casually.
TipSince it has a sunblock effect, you'll need to be diligent with cleansing. You should do a double cleanse, either using a foam cleanser followed by a second cleanse, or using a cleansing milk or water to ensure all residue is removed thoroughly.

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThe product applied smoothly and did not feel overly oily. It had a texture similar to a primer or makeup base, and a small amount spread evenly across the entire face. When I first squeezed it out, a creamy pink-peach color came out, giving a nice, bouncy feel. It seems to subtly conceal skin imperfections while providing a light tone-up effect.
ConsI applied for this product thinking it was a men's product, and it is also classified as a men's base makeup on the Hwahae app. However, how many men would be able to use this tone? I think the only men who could enjoy the tone-up effect of this product would be those with a skin tone similar to women's 21st shade. For those with a different skin tone, applying this product would result in an excessively pale, whitish appearance on the face. If you have reddish skin, it might even turn a pinkish-purple tone... Of course, I did not apply as much as a sunblock. This is not a sunblock, but a tone-up cream, so it should both tone up the skin and provide a nice, polished look. However, due to the excessive white cast and pink tone... I think this is a product that would heavily accentuate skin type differences.
TipThose with very fair, pink-toned skin may be able to use a small amount successfully.

The spreadability was also quite pleasing to me.
ConsI have a rather dark skin tone. When I applied this lotion, it looked quite unnatural. When I asked my sister or other people to try it, those with darker skin tones found it quite awkward. And since I have sensitive combination skin, this lotion caused breakouts on my forehead.
TipThose with warm or fair skin tones would likely find this product very suitable!

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThis product is a lotion with tone-up functionality, offering high UV protection, whitening, and wrinkle improvement effects. It has a slightly thicker texture than a typical lotion, similar to a BB cream, with good spreadability. A small amount is sufficient to cover the entire face. This product would likely appeal to men who prefer an all-in-one solution. While some may see it as a downside, the fact that it washes off easily with just water makes it suitable for men who only cleanse with water daily.
ConsWhile this lotion contains tone-up and various other functions, like most all-in-one products, it is not perfect. The advantage of solving both lotion and tone-up needs at once is present, but it is not a complete lotion nor a complete tone-up product. The presence of light-reflecting properties can lead to a shiny appearance on the face when taking photos. For those with dry skin like myself, it may not adhere as well and can feel a bit lifted.
TipIt is recommended to use this as a supplementary product rather than a primary all-in-one, applying it after using a basic skincare routine or a lightweight product.

The sunscreen protection seems effective, and it's convenient to just quickly apply the tone-up lotion when going out for exercise. The scent has a masculine fragrance. Applying it thinly can also work well as a makeup base! You can evenly cover your entire face with just one pump.
ConsAs a tone-up lotion, it lacks in moisture and adhesion. If male users are looking to use it for makeup purposes, they should establish a solid skincare routine first.

ConsIt doesn't seem to work well for oily skin. There's a bit of a greasy feeling and it feels a little slippery. It might work well for dry skin types, though.
TipI think you'll need to do thorough base skincare before applying this product.

It is a pumping product, not a squeeze type, so it is hygienic to use. The usage is to apply it after your basic skincare products. Pump it once onto the back of your hand, then dab it evenly all over your face. The tone-up effect is felt to be quite natural.
ConsAs it is not a squeeze-type product like sunscreen, but rather a tone-up product that requires one pump, it cannot replace the sun protection effect of sunscreen. It should be applied after sunscreen. It seems to have quite a bit of oil content, so it would be good to use powder or blot lightly with oil paper. The adhesion was a bit lacking, which was disappointing.
TipIt is not recommended for those looking for a sunscreen, but if you want a light tone-up effect with some sun protection, it could be worth trying.

Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.Pros* My skin type: Combination * Color/Texture/Fragrance: The color has a pinkish tone due to the pigment iron oxide used for tone adjustment, similar to a BB cream. The texture is very thick and sticky. Even though it's a hybrid of organic and inorganic sunscreens, it's closer to an inorganic sunscreen. The most similar in texture to what I've used is probably the inorganic sunscreen from Dr. Oll x. The fragrance is just a typical cosmetic scent and doesn't bother me much. * Pump dispenser: The packaging is a pump type, which I actually like rather than a squeeze tube. Pumping out a small amount and applying it bit by bit is convenient. * Adherence: It hardly transfers to the mask.
Cons* First, I'm curious about the identity of this product. Is it a BB, CC, or foundation? It's a hybrid and mixed, so I expected it to be fine if I applied the right amount, but after pumping it twice, I realized... this much would make my whole face tan and bring out freckles. * You'll probably need to use makeup tools to apply it evenly. It slides around and comes off easily. It's quite difficult to apply evenly with just your hands. The tone-up... I witnessed the amazing magic of it becoming significantly darker than my actual skin tone. * I thought it washed off easily in water, but... I only applied it to my neck to match my face, and the next morning, even after showering at the swimming pool, showering again, and then wiping my neck with toner, something was still coming off. Once it sets in over time, you'll need an oil-based cleanser to remove it. I'm used to using Clio, but for regular guys who just use soap or foam, I wonder if it'll come off.
Tip* It can be quite troublesome to apply all sorts of products, but you also don't want to go out bare-faced. For example, on your date or when going to a club, just get a sponge applicator recommended by the Olive Young staff, pump out a small amount, and apply it thinly. Once it sets in, the waterproof effect will last about 1.5 days, so you can use it confidently. I think it will hold up well even for those with a lot of sweat and sebum.
