It's hydrating without feeling dry or cakey on the skin. Scent - Being fragrance-free, it's unlikely to cause any aversion or polarizing opinions. Brightening effect - I loved how naturally it brightened my complexion! It's like it adapts to your skin tone, giving a subtle luminosity. I was worried about potential white cast, but there was none of that! Longevity - I wore this sunscreen alone on a scorching day, and despite sweating, it didn't break down! The brightening effect lasted for quite a long time. Overall, I appreciated the absence of pilling and white cast.
ConsThe only downside was the slightly ashy or grayish undertone when it brightens the skin. If you apply too much, it might give a pale appearance.

I often struggle with products settling into pores, emphasizing dead skin cells, and causing patchiness - it's so stressful! But this one applies like a hydrating moisturizer. It absorbs well without any tightness, leaving skin feeling supple. I'm impressed by how it doesn't settle into pores or highlight flaky patches at all. No patchiness either - that deserves high marks! User experience: My previous sunscreen would pill if my skincare hadn't fully absorbed, but the B'wear sunscreen never balls up or slides around, even when I'm in a rush in the morning. As someone with combination dehydrated skin, I usually find sunscreens leave my skin feeling parched underneath while looking super shiny on top. There's often this suffocating feeling, like there's an oily film sitting on my face. But not with this one! Maybe it's because it's vegan, but my skin feels genuinely comfortable. Even those with super sensitive skin can use this worry-free. It absorbs like a skincare product rather than a typical sunscreen. It spreads thinly and evenly with ease. Makeup compatibility: This is perfect as a pre-makeup sunscreen. It doesn't cause any pilling or patchiness when foundation is applied over it. When worn without makeup, it gives skin a subtle, natural glow that's really lovely.
ConsIngredients: Unfortunately, it contains quite a few pore-clogging ingredients. Extended use might lead to small bumps appearing. Recommended skin types: Given how hydrating and somewhat rich it is, this might suit dry skin types better than oily ones. Brightening effect: The finish is so natural that the brightening effect is a bit lacking. It applies and absorbs well, but there's hardly any tone-evening effect. Those who dislike the white cast from sunscreens might appreciate this, but overall it doesn't do much for evening out the complexion.

I received this vegan brightening moisturizer with SPF through The Hwahae Testers program and I'm writing this review after using it. When I first used it, I was really satisfied with how smoothly it absorbed into my skin with a moisturizing feel! I often dislike sunscreens that feel too sticky, but this product absorbs well without any stickiness, which I found very satisfying! However, if you have oily skin, it might feel a bit rich. I liked that it's fragrance-free, so there's no irritating scent! It doesn't leave a white cast, provides a natural-looking even skin tone, and combines both sunscreen and brightening properties. It's perfect for when you're going bare-faced or need to wear a mask!
ConsWhile it does provide a natural-looking even skin tone, the change in complexion isn't very noticeable, which is a bit disappointing. You'll still need to use a base or cushion foundation. Although it didn't cause any blemishes, there is a slight shine, so you might need to pat it down with a cushion!

Texture (Feel) - It has a consistency between an emulsion and cream, so it applies smoothly. I usually use Dokdo sunscreen, and this is slightly thicker! Easy to spread, making it great for busy mornings. 2. Hydration - Usually, brightening moisturizers with SPF tend to be overly matte or drying in exchange for tone correction, but this one is really moisturizing. It might even feel a bit rich for those with oily skin! 3. Natural Tone-Evening - For those wanting a significant brightening effect, it might fall short, but I love how it subtly evens skin tone in a very natural way! It was just perfect for me!
Cons1. Rich Texture - While it's nicely moisturizing, you can feel a slight richness! I have combination dehydrated skin, so I only notice it a little, but those with oily skin might find it too rich... 2. Subtlety - If you're looking for a more dramatic brightening effect, you might find this a bit lacking!

With summer approaching, I was looking for a sunscreen that's easy to reapply, and it's rare to find a brightening moisturizer sunscreen without 8 specific ingredients, so I'm quite pleased with this one. I also love the emulsion-like, hydrating texture.
ConsThe rich texture might be a bit much for those with oily skin or during the peak of summer. Also, while I expected this due to the ingredients, it doesn't really even out the skin tone. It might be better to mix it with some foundation.
TipAs mentioned above, the lack of complexion-evening effect is an issue, so I mix it with a small amount of cream foundation. Using a 1:2 ratio with a bit of foundation works well.

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsTexture: The consistency is quite emulsion-like, applying with a lovely moisturizing feel. Even compared to the notably hydrating Dal* sunscreen, this one feels even more nourishing. The color resembles a white emulsion with just a drop of BB cream mixed in. Thanks to this emulsion-like texture, it's perfect as the final step in your skincare routine and pairs wonderfully with matte base products. Scent: The fragrance is surprisingly pronounced. It has that distinct sunscreen aroma that lingers around your nose, similar to other oil-cut sunscreens on the market. This was a bit unexpected. Brightening effect: Due to its ultra-hydrating application, it leaves a translucent finish. While it doesn't offer much coverage, it provides a subtle brightening effect - about half a shade lighter with a touch of transparency. This makes it ideal for evening out your complexion before applying base makeup. As a result, it's great for applying on the neck area naturally and without any burden. Ingredients: The formula seems incredibly gentle. Upon application, it feels deeply hydrating as it absorbs into the skin. I even wore it under a mask and didn't experience any blemishes on my cheeks or chin.
ConsIf you're expecting the level of brightening effect found in typical tone-up creams on the market, you might be a bit disappointed.
TipHighly recommended as a hydrating sunscreen to use before applying matte base makeup for the upcoming summer season.

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsAs someone with combination dehydrated and super sensitive skin, my skin reacts with blemishes at the slightest hint of incompatible ingredients. That's why I've always stuck to mineral sunscreens, and on days I use sunscreen, I have to double cleanse to rinse it off thoroughly. What I loved about this product: - Skin-friendly ingredients Thanks to its gentle formulation, I didn't experience any of the tingling, itching, or eye irritation I've felt with other chemical sunscreens. - Hydrating It felt moisturizing even without applying a separate hydrating cream. Highly recommended for those with dry skin. - Subtle brightening and Inner Glow effect While it may not deliver dramatic brightening as the name 'Tone-Up Sunscreen' suggests, it does even out the skin tone slightly - just enough to give that 'naturally beautiful bare skin' look. It also imparts a subtle glow that enhances the appearance of skin texture. - Packaging The design is attractive, and I found it convenient to use.
Cons- Rich texture Although I mentioned hydration as a plus, this could also be a drawback. It feels more oily than hydrating, so while it's moisturizing, it can feel sticky. This might be challenging for those with oily skin to use. - Limited brightening effect Despite being called a 'Tone-Up Sunscreen', its brightening capability is minimal, only slightly evening out the complexion.

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsSkin Type: I have combination dehydrated skin that's prone to blemishes and extreme dryness during seasonal changes, with super sensitive skin. Packaging: The box has a convenient cut-out on top for easy opening. It's in a tube format with the opening at the bottom, allowing you to use almost every last drop comfortably. Application: When applied to the back of the hand, it feels milky and moisturizing without being runny. It spreads smoothly without dripping. It has a hydrating milk-base feel. After applying and gently patting, it absorbs quickly, leaving the skin feeling moisturized. Over time, it absorbs nicely, leaving a fresh feeling. Moisturizing Effect: It feels like a hydrating base coating without excessive oiliness, so it's not heavy or suffocating. Despite my sensitive skin, I experienced no eye irritation or blemishes. Overall Review: As a vegan-certified product, it's trustworthy. What I love most is its excellent absorption - a small amount spreads effortlessly over the entire face. This makes it perfect for layering multiple times in summer, while its moisturizing properties are great for winter. The brightening effect is subtle, providing a natural, moderate glow and hydration. It's an ideal base cum sunscreen to apply right before foundation.
ConsThe fragrance is slightly disappointing... It has a typical sunscreen scent. I suppose it's unavoidable for a vegan product.
TipThe application works particularly well with matte foundations (like Est** La**er Dou***W***) that tend to be on the drier side! Due to its excellent application and perfect pairing with foundation, I'm considering repurchasing.

However, with this product, I was thrilled that there was 'no eye irritation'. As for other aspects, it had a smooth application similar to an emulsion type, and it left my skin feeling comfortably moisturized. I received this as part of The Hwahae Testers, but I think this item has become my go-to product. I typically have super sensitive skin that breaks out even with just sunscreen, but this didn't cause any issues. I definitely plan to repurchase when I run out, and it's perfect as a daily essential.
ConsWhen held up to natural light, I noticed that the container wasn't completely filled, which seems to be common for all sunscreens, perhaps due to manufacturing processes. While the packaging itself is quite slim and compact, I wish they offered a larger size option with more product.
TipThe photos show the exterior of the container, an application test on the back of my hand, before applying to my face, during application, and after. Due to the recent heatwave, please don't skimp on sunscreen when going out. Apply a generous amount and reapply as needed. I applied too little once and immediately noticed sun spots appearing on my right cheek.

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsAs someone with combination dehydrated skin, I always pay attention to how a product feels after application. I've encountered some sunscreens that are so runny they drip like water, so texture is one of my key criteria when choosing products. This one, however, has a wonderfully moisturizing emulsion-like texture that I love. What's even better is how it absorbs - when I pat it in, it leaves my skin feeling hydrated without any stickiness.
ConsIf I had to point out a downside, it would be that despite being marketed as a brightening moisturizer with SPF, it doesn't provide as much brightening effect as I expected. There's no white cast, which is good, but it feels more like I've just applied a regular sunscreen without any noticeable tone-evening. So if you're looking for something with the effects of a true brightening moisturizer, this might not be it. Also, because it's quite rich, it works well as a final step in your routine, but if you're planning to apply makeup afterwards, the richness might make that a bit tricky.
