Pros

I've been using this diligently since purchasing it late last year. The best thing about it is how well it covers pores. Because of this, you can create a good base with just this sunscreen alone, without needing other products like makeup base. The formula is unique - a small amount covers a large area. It feels like one bottle will last quite a while. I often use this sunscreen as a base substitute when I don't want to apply a full base. Not only does it brighten the complexion, but it almost looks like I've applied a light base. While sunscreens that also act as tone-up and base products may have some placebo effect in terms of UV protection (it's hard to feel the actual UV-blocking effects), they still serve a purpose. Even though it's said that UV rays are bad for acne and pigmentation, when I apply this diligently, my skin discoloration doesn't seem to worsen. Since the formula is base-like, you need to prep your skin well, but don't overdo it or you'll get pilling. Personally, I always apply it with a cushion puff - applying with hands leaves marks. This product might not suit dry skin types; it's better for combination to oily skin. I have oily to combination dehydrated skin, and the product is quite matte (reminds me of Geo***), so I make sure to moisturize well before applying. The fact that I need to prep my skin well before use and cleanse thoroughly after makes me feel like my skin is improving overall. Overall, would I use it again? I'm not against repurchasing. However, I want to try other products first, so I might use a few others before coming back to this one. The packaging is attractively designed, and the formula has a matte feel that might be a bit heavy for dry skin. It gives a natural brightening effect and even feels like a base product. On lazy days, this alone is enough. It covers pores well and gives a smooth, matte finish.

Cons

I didn't experience any blemishes. As mentioned above, the product is quite matte. I thought it might be too heavy for dry skin types, and many reviews confirm this. However, it adheres well to the skin and provides good pore coverage, which might be why it's matte.

Tip

I recommend prepping your skin well and applying the product with a cushion puff. Applying with hands leaves marks (even hair marks at first). As someone with combination dehydrated to oily skin, in winter it left almost no oily residue, like my own skin. Whether it's because I changed my skincare products or just because the weather improved, it feels a bit more moisturizing now than in winter. It's not bad for coverage.

Pros

If I really had to find something positive, the small container doesn't take up much space for storage

Cons

When I bought it, all the reviews were good, but they seem fake now. The user experience is really poor. It does brighten the skin, but it makes your complexion look grayish. The case is quite stiff, making it hard to squeeze out. It doesn't absorb well and just sits on the skin. Being a brightening moisturizer, it tends to leave stains on clothes easily. I definitely don't recommend it

Pros

Effectively covers pores and blemishes! Excellent adherence to the skin! Provides a natural and beautiful brightening effect! Absolutely no pilling! Protects against UV-A, UV-B, and blue light! Long-lasting! If you're looking for a foundation-free makeup product or a brightening moisturizer with sun protection, pay attention to this one! I actually used to dislike brightening sun care products... My skin isn't great, so if I wasn't careful, my pores and dead skin cells would become noticeable, making my face look patchy. That's why I used to stick to just hydrating sunscreens. But this product is a game-changer! It provides a natural brightening effect, covers pores and blemishes effectively, and adheres to the skin so well that it makes my skin look beautiful! Even with my problematic skin, I can truly go foundation-free now. I find myself reaching for it so often these days. Can I apply it with my hands, without any tools? Yes, absolutely! While using a puff will give you even better adherence and application, applying it with your hands works great too. There's no pilling, no emphasizing of dead skin cells, and no patchiness! How well does it cover blemishes and pores? Check out the 4th and 5th photos! The pore coverage and text coverage are amazing! I've never seen a brightening moisturizer with sun protection like this before!

Cons

There weren't any downsides! If I had to nitpick, I'd say it has a slight scent? But it didn't really bother me!

Tip

Do you have any pro tips? Make sure to use a small amount! First, spread a small amount all over your face. Then, instead of spreading more product, gently pat on another thin layer. This layering technique will give you a more beautiful application!

Pros

The skin expression is so beautifully done. It covers the blemishes to a certain extent, and the pink undertone makes it look radiant. When I apply foundation over it, it looks neat and clean.

Cons

Since I have sensitive skin, small bumps and pimples appear on my skin... It's quite disappointing. The product has good spreadability and great skin expression, but there seems to be an ingredient that doesn't agree with my skin. I wish the formula could be improved a bit more.

Pros

The tone-up effect is definitely noticeable!!! There are some tone-up sunscreens that don't actually provide much tone-up effect when applied, but this one is different - the pink tone-up is clearly visible!!! It also helps color-correct, so it's great for going makeup-free. It applies smoothly without feeling dry. Personally, I prefer a more hydrating sunscreen formula over a matte one.

Cons

It feels a bit heavy when applying... The reason I want to go makeup-free is to have a lighter feel on my skin, but I'm not sure if this is light enough. It applies a bit heavily and has a slight sheen, so I need to set it with powder.

Pros

Since it's foundation-free, the coverage is almost as good as foundation, if not better. The packaging is so pretty. It goes beyond just tone-up and makes you look like you're wearing makeup.

Cons

It's too heavy and if you don't apply primer, it really accentuates pores and wrinkles. No matter how much you try to spread it with your fingers, those uneven textures just can't be covered.

Pros

It naturally brightens my complexion, so I use it lightly on a daily basis when going to work. My face definitely looks brighter. A small amount is sufficient and applies well.

Cons

It's a bit matte for my preference. It needs to be applied over a well-prepared, hydrated base to avoid patchiness and apply smoothly.

Pros

The application was smooth and creamy, and the finish felt light on the skin. At first, I thought it might be too bright when I applied it, but as I blended it out, it seamlessly merged with my skin tone. Lately, I've been bothered by the visible pores on my nose area, but this product helped fill in the pores and smooth out the uneven texture, resulting in a clearer complexion that I really liked. I've used it as a primer for foundation, as well as a standalone base for my makeup routine!

Cons

If you have uneven exfoliation, the product may cling to dry patches. I recommend thoroughly exfoliating your skin first, and using a tool like a sponge rather than your fingers to apply it.

Pros

I was able to adjust the contents little by little, and I could sense a familiar, pleasant fragrance. It was good to apply instead of a tone-up cream. As the blemishes calmed down to some extent, and my skin was naturally brightened, that was the most satisfying part.

Cons

It's a bit like a foundation? The base texture seems to apply more thinly and beautifully when using a puff rather than applying by hand.

Pros

Among the tone-up sunscreams I've tried, this one has great coverage and applies very smoothly. It spreads evenly and creates a smooth, flawless finish even when applied lightly with a puff. It's great!

Cons

Although I don't have very sensitive skin, I used to use the cherry blossom tone-up cream before buying this one. I applied it without knowing and fell asleep, but my cheeks and nose area turned bright red, which surprised me (as shown in the second photo). So I couldn't wear makeup for about 2 days. But if you cleanse well, it works great. It's really good. And I think it would be good for slightly oily skin types to use.

Tip

For dry skin types, be sure to exfoliate and moisturize well before applying this. It will apply beautifully and look great. And for those with fair skin, this will likely suit you very well. For me, it was a bit too bright.
