As an oily skin with severe folliculitis, using ingredients like AHA and BHA too often or too much can actually backfire and make my skin worse. Please keep this in mind. During the trial period, I used it both alone and as a makeup base. The purple-tinted formula is quite moisturizing, and when applied directly, it feels quite hydrating despite being a mineral sunscreen. Even after applying multiple layers over my skincare, there was no pilling or flaking. Those who like to apply sunscreen generously should find this suitable. As described as a makeup base, it provides an overall brightening effect, so those who want to just lightly brighten their bare skin with a sunscreen would find this good.
ConsHowever, I don't recommend it as a makeup base. I normally use a hybrid sunscreen and then apply Estée Lauder Double Wear foundation for my base makeup. During the trial period, I used this product instead of my usual hybrid sunscreen, and while the brightening effect was noticeable, after about 6 hours, my foundation started to break up, making my skin look uneven. The lack of a seamless breakdown is a disappointment when using it as a makeup base. But since it's a mineral sunscreen paired with a matte foundation, I can't speak to its compatibility with more dewy foundations.
TipThe application is good, but as a mineral sunscreen, it tends to break down or show pores over time. Therefore, it would be more useful for quick outings when you just want a light tinted cream for a tone-up effect, rather than for extended outdoor activities.

It applied smoothly and moisturized the skin without feeling greasy. Even when wearing a mask, my skin didn't feel hot or tight, which was very satisfactory. Lately, purple-toned sunscreens have been trending, and this product was able to follow that trend while still providing an overall pleasant user experience. Even after 8 hours of use, my skin didn't feel tight or look overly oily, which was great.
ConsIt wasn't an immediately smoothing makeup base. While other aspects were fine, the T-zone area, especially the chin and between the eyebrows, tended to develop whiteheads. Dry-skinned individuals may find it drying. The fragrance was unusually strong, and while it seemed mild at first, it became an unpleasant scent over time, which was disappointing.

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 yellow tones and uneven areas were well-covered, which I liked! When I applied it to the right half of the back of my hand, it felt like it was correcting my face, making it look brighter. It was absorbed seamlessly without feeling like an additional layer, which I appreciated!
ConsMoisturizing the base didn't seem to have any meaning, as when I applied this, it made my skin feel powdery... I have oily skin, so even in the winter, I use a matte foundation. The base was also thick, so on days when my skin condition was poor, the cheek area looked a bit lifted.
TipRegardless of the base, I apply a base and then a radiant cushion, so even though I have oily skin, it doesn't get too shiny, and the finish looks moisturized. When I just used a moisturizing cushion, the oil would set in quickly and break down, but after mattifying it first, it seems to hold the face color and prevent breakdown a bit. I think the moisturizing cushion is good to use in the winter, and in the summer, just using a matte base and matte foundation would create a long-lasting makeup look!

Color The base with a hint of purple really makes my face look very fair, so I'm very satisfied with the color. 2. Spreadability It goes on lightly without being sticky, which was good. 3. Fragrance The fragrance is not too strong, so it was good to use casually.
Cons1. Flaking During the day, the cushion seems to not match my current one, and my pores are always emphasized and it lifts a lot, so I thought the cushion was the problem. But when I went out wearing only this product and came home in the evening, it lifted again...ㅜ I didn't have many sunscreen makeup bases, so I was looking forward to it when I was selected as a Hwahae Trial Reviewer, but the satisfaction level was lower than expected.ㅠㅠ
TipYou need to have a solid skincare routine before applying it.

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 is a review from the Hwahae Trial Reviewer. I have a 100% repurchase intention!! The formula, color, longevity, adherence, and fragrance were all satisfactory without any shortcomings. The formula is like a sunscreen, but it has a matte texture with good spreadability, so it doesn't clump when applied thinly and evenly. As someone with a skin tone of 17-21, the color makes me feel a bit brighter and whiter. It has a slight white cast like a sunscreen, but the coverage is surprisingly good, effectively neutralizing redness. Thanks to this, I was able to go without foundation!! Even after half a day of using it alone, my complexion still looked bright, so the longevity is good, and the fragrance is barely noticeable, making it easy to use without any likes or dislikes. The pore coverage is not as good as a primer, but it evens out the skin tone and makes the texture appear smoother, which I'm satisfied with.
ConsWhen I apply the cushion, it seems to cling a little. I'll need to make sure my base is well-prepped.

The UV protection is also high, so it can be used as a tone-up base instead of sunscreen. With both the tone-up function and sunscreen, just applying this one product is perfect for a bare-faced look. Although it has a light purple tint, it corrects and evens out the skin tone nicely. The application is smooth, and the scent is not overpowering, which I liked.
ConsWhile the application is fine, it felt a bit drying for my oily skin type. There was a slight warming sensation and redness that came up, which was a bit disappointing.

The positive aspects were the moisturizing application and the nice tone-up effect. When I first opened the product and squeezed it, only a transparent liquid came out, which surprised me. But when I shook it and applied it, it went on smoothly and moisturized, and it did a great job of evening out my skin tone, which I was really satisfied with.
ConsDespite the moisturizing application, my skin feels very dry after applying the product. Even if I finish with a cushion, the makeup starts to peel off not long after. Compared to just using the cushion, the makeup peels off much faster. I wonder if my skincare routine is lacking, so I've tried to strengthen my base, but from the moment I apply the product, I can feel that my makeup is going to slip, and it actually does slip.

Natural Tone-Up It naturally enhances the skin tone without making it look overly pale or whitish, but rather gives a radiant and luminous tone-up effect. 2. Lavender Tone When applied on warm-toned skin with a yellowish undertone, it creates a natural and bright lavender-tinted complexion. It does a better job at neutralizing the yellow undertones compared to other pink-toned tone-up creams. 3. Smooth Application Despite Mineral UV Protection Although mineral UV filters can sometimes feel thick and heavy, this product has a surprisingly soft and smooth application, without the typical heaviness associated with mineral sunscreens. 4. Makeup Base Function Compared to when it's not applied, the skin tone remains bright and even-toned for a long time, even when foundation is applied on top.
Cons1. Presence of Harmful Ingredients There is one harmful ingredient in the product, which is a bit disappointing. Hopefully, this will be removed in the reformulated version. 2. Slight Lifting Sensation When applied, the skin doesn't have a seamless, 'melted into the skin' feel, but rather a slightly lifting sensation. However, this can be mitigated by using a small amount and layering foundation on top, as the lifting effect is reduced over time.
TipWhen applying makeup, don't think of this as a substitute for sunscreen, but rather as a makeup base. Apply a generous amount of sunscreen first, and then use this product sparingly as a makeup base. Even on days when you're not wearing makeup, this product can be used as a standalone sunscreen by applying a sufficient amount.

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 feel is similar to a regular sunscreen, with a slightly grayish-purple tint. It was easy to spread thinly and did not feel greasy after application. It also lasted for a decent amount of time. There is a subtle tone-up effect, so it's fine to just wear this product lightly and go. However, do not layer additional makeup on top of it.
ConsAs my skin is dry, I applied the base and then this product, followed by a cushion. However, the makeup came off, leaving the areas around my nose, mouth, and chin looking a bit messy. There was also a whitish cast in the pore areas. I felt the product was on the drier side, and for those with naturally problematic skin, I would not recommend applying this and then layering other products on top. The underlying gray-toned base made my face look paler, and when I added the cushion on top, it ended up looking quite thick, almost like a Kabuki-style makeup.
TipThis product could be a good tone-up cream for those who don't usually wear a lot of makeup. Using a concealer along with this product might work better. However, even after multiple applications, it did not effectively cover dark circles. It just brightened the overall complexion.

Even a small amount provides an instant brightening effect, so controlling the application amount is crucial! When applied evenly, there's no pore clogging and the spreadability is great, so it works well as a primer before makeup application. It also has UV protection, so I can use it as a daily brightening cream even without makeup.
ConsThis could be both a pro and a con - the brightening effect is incredibly powerful! If you don't control the amount, your skin may appear slightly unnatural. But if you apply a good base skincare routine, it works out well~
