It seems to be a product made for fair and dry skin in general. * Tone-up As the name suggests, it has tone-up effects but the coverage is close to nothing. I have a bit tanned and dark skin, so it's almost like wearing no makeup at all... * Texture The color is a bright pink. It's not overly sticky, but not too watery either, so the application is smooth. * Moisturizing It's more oily than watery, so it provides a moisturized feeling. Those with extremely oily skin may not be able to use it. As a person with dry skin, I find myself getting oily after some time. But lately, as my skin has been getting drier, this works quite well. It prevents my skin from feeling tight and dry.
Cons* Pilling Tone-up products are often used instead of BB creams, but this one pills and peels off like flakes when something is applied on top. Even when I use it alone, just lightly patting the edges makes it peel off... It also pills when I apply a cushion on top, especially on dry days. You have to apply it in one smooth motion without rubbing! * Tone-up? Even though it's not a coverage product, it should at least make the skin look brighter, but it's almost like wearing no makeup at all. I might have gotten too used to heavily covering sunscreens...Using it as a makeup base is quite difficult. * (Quickly fading) Whitening Applying a lot of it results in a severe whitening effect, and it also has an uneven, clumped-up appearance that quickly breaks down into an oily sheen. * Oiliness By the time I arrive at the office after applying it in the morning, my face looks like an oil field...
TipRecommended for fair skin, can be used alone without makeup!

When first applied, it goes on like a thin essence, then gradually becomes slightly thicker (?) and quickly becomes soft and powdery. Even on my dry skin, it doesn't feel overly drying as time passes. My skin tone is around shade 22 with a lot of yellow undertones, so it made my skin look a bit brighter and whiter than my natural tone, almost like I was wearing a brightening cream. But it eventually blends in to match my natural complexion well. It doesn't leave a grayish cast, which I really like!! This brightening effect can be great for cool-toned makeup looks, as it can help make the face look more radiant and luminous. (I think it would work best for those with naturally fair, cool-toned skin.) Another plus is that it doesn't cake or settle into fine lines. Since it's a vegan product, sometimes brightening sunscreens can cause breakouts for me, but I didn't experience that with this one. Unfortunately, the last photo seems to have gone missing, but please just refer to the initial color swatch.
ConsWhile it doesn't cake or settle, on days when my skin is feeling quite dry or my exfoliation isn't optimal, it's best not to use this. Also, if I layer it over certain essences or creams that don't mesh well, it can sometimes pill up or leave a white cast.

Since my skin is on the fairer side, the tone-up effect wasn't dramatic, but as I don't wear much makeup other than sunscreen, it works well for me as a makeup-free option. It also provides a light pore-covering effect. In fact, my skin looked even clearer over time. 🌱Skin Type My skin tone is on the lighter side, and I have a normal skin type, but my T-zone can get slightly drier in the fall and winter. My skin is sensitive and prone to occasional breakouts, so I have some limitations when it comes to skincare products. 🌱Texture It has a slightly heavier cream-like texture. 🌱Application & Absorption It's not bad, but you need to do some thorough rolling to get it to really sink into the skin. 🌱Fragrance It has a fragrance. A slightly sweet, floral-ish scent? It's subtle, but since I generally prefer fragrance-free products, those who dislike fragrance may have mixed feelings about it.
ConsYou need to be careful with the application amount. Applying too much at once can cause it to pill up.
TipIt's best to apply it in thin, layered applications.

Cons- Depending on the skincare routine, it can sometimes look cakey - It may be difficult to use for those with very oily skin - It serves more as a makeup base and shouldn't be used alone as an outdoor look
TipIf you have a slightly darker foundation, it might be a good idea to mix it in. I actually had a cushion product recently where I failed to choose the right color, but when I used it as a makeup base, it turned out well 🥰

A good product has been released, you see. ✨💘I'm leaving a review after trying it out as a Hwahae Trial Reviewer.💘✨ My skin is a yellow-toned, combination type with fine wrinkles around the eyes. Except for spring and summer, I've been feeling a lot of dryness, and I also have some acne. 🌝 💛Moisturizing★★★★★ Since I tend to feel a lot of dryness and tightness, moisturizing is the most important factor for me. This product seemed moisturizing from the product description, and it applies as smoothly and moisturizing as applying a moisturizer. I'm so pleased that a tone-up cream can be this soft and smooth!👏 💛Spreadability★★★★★ It applies so smoothly, like a cream. Tone-up creams usually have a thick, sticky texture, but this one is not like that at all.👍 💛Correcting Power★★★★ My skin tone brightens by about half a shade. Even 4-5 hours later, the tone correction is still there. While it doesn't cover blemishes, the smooth tone correction makes my skin look more polished. It corrects my yellow skin tone to a slightly pink-toned complexion.😘 💛Soft, Fresh★★★★★ It applies like a moisturizer at first, but after a while, it becomes soft and matte without any stickiness. When I apply it around my eyes, I just dab the remaining product lightly, and it doesn't feel dry. I think I'll be using this a lot in spring, summer, and fall.👌 💛Vitamin Ingredients★★★★★ I've been using a blemish serum and sunscreen diligently because of my blemishes, so I'm really pleased that this sunscreen also has vitamin ingredients. I feel assured that it can protect my skin from blemishes.🤗 💛Gentle★★★★★ I'm usually sensitive to sunscreens and get breakouts, but this product applies gently and moisturizing, without any trouble.💫
ConsAfter applying it and some time passing, I tried reapplying the sunscreen, but it pilled up terribly... I was really surprised. It took me some time to peel off all the pilled up product. It seems like I should only apply it once, when it's still moisturizing, and not try to reapply on top of it.
TipAs time passes, it becomes more matte, so you should only apply a small amount on drier areas like the eye contour. If you want more correcting power, apply it twice when it's still moisturizing. The correcting power lasts quite a while after it dries down.

The tone-up is also light, so it doesn't make my base too pale when I use it before applying foundation. It's also good for blending the tone on my neck.
ConsIt's difficult to spread evenly and applies unevenly. I applied foundation after using this, but the foundation started to peel off in patches. And I thought the scent was a bit strong.
TipIt's best to only apply it on the neck.

Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsOverall Impression: A sunscreen that provides good tone-up and tone correction, without being overly greasy. Texture: It applies smoothly and evenly. Unlike other tone-up creams, there is no sticky residue left on the hands. I really liked this aspect. White Cast: As long as you apply the right amount, you don't need to worry about white cast. On the days when I applied it well, it provided a nice, clean tone-up effect. Moisture: Since it contains organic UV filters, it doesn't have an extremely moisturizing feel, but the balance between oil and moisture was just right. If it had been overly oily, I wouldn't have liked it, but that wasn't the case. I found that blotting with oil-absorbing paper and then applying my makeup worked well. Of course, this did reduce the tone-up effect slightly.
ConsPilling: If you apply too much, it can pill up. The amount I used wasn't excessive, but it still pilled up a bit, which was a bit surprising. Other than that, it doesn't feel overly greasy and seems to be a pretty good tone-up sunscreen.
TipWhile the tone-up effect is reduced, blotting with oil-absorbing paper works well.

The formula is moisturizing and runny, and the expiration date is generous - it's good until 2026~. Only a small amount needs to be applied.
ConsThe application is moisturizing but it clings and accentuates dry patches. This is the worst application ever, creating dry patches even for non-flaky skin! When I apply this, it brings out non-existent dry patches, and the sunscreen cream, which is recommended to be applied in a 500-won coin size, comes out like sludge. As a Hwahae Trial Reviewer product, I thoroughly tested it - I applied a small amount, used an AHA-rich toner the night before, and applied a moisturizing cream, but the powdery residue still appeared on my face. The dry patches are also emphasized. Even the old Innisfree No-Sebum sunscreen and the thick cushion foundation didn't cause this kind of dry-up, so I'm not sure what the issue is, but it seems to cling to my nose pores. The application feels just like an old, poor quality tone-up cream I used 5-6 years ago. I recommend using only a small amount, as the application is terribly bad. After applying, even my lips become oily and extremely dry, like mixing the product with clay powder and oil. It doesn't adhere well, and the wrinkles are exaggerated. While it didn't cause breakouts, the issues mentioned above are as bad as causing breakouts. Continued use will likely make the skin look dirty... ***Additional*** After applying in the morning, I noticed small pimples appearing on my forehead, nose, and philtrum by the afternoon, and the eye area also became irritated over time... I'm discontinuing use.
TipDue to the powdery residue that develops, this is the worst, so please use a different product... There are many good sunscreens out there.

Applying it twice makes the skin much brighter.
ConsIt feels a bit dry, perhaps due to the lack of stickiness. One application doesn't provide enough tone-up effect, so you have to apply it several times. #Additional - When applying over moisturizer or soothing cream as the last step of skincare, it tends to slide around too much. My face gets itchy, and if I lightly scratch or dab it, it comes off like flakes...
