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.

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!

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, this product has such a moisturizing formula that it absorbs beautifully. Once applied, it sinks right in without leaving any residue or pilling. I also love that it's nearly fragrance-free, without any unnecessary scents. The volume seems just right too. I always used to have leftover sunscreen, but this size is perfect.
ConsAlthough it's marketed as a brightening moisturizer, I can hardly notice any effect on evening my skin tone...

I used it both on its own and with cushion foundation to provide a comprehensive review. After applying serum, I immediately followed with this sunscreen and only blotted excess oil with blotting paper. The moisturizing formula made it absorb well, and even with just the sunscreen, I could achieve a natural-looking complexion! When using it under cushion foundation, it remained hydrating. Even with a matte cushion, I didn't experience any deep dryness!
ConsWhen used alone, it doesn't provide a particularly brightening effect. However, when used under cushion foundation or regular foundation, it does help create a natural look.
TipSince it doesn't leave a white cast or have a significant brightening effect, you can apply a generous amount without worrying!

It's more like applying skincare than sunscreen. Hydration & Moisture: Even those with dry skin should find this suitable. It's incredibly hydrating and doesn't leave your face feeling dry. <I didn't experience any pilling or separation when applying foundation or cushion over this sunscreen!> Blemishes: Despite having oily skin that's prone to breakouts with overly moisturizing products, this sunscreen, although hydrating, didn't cause any blemishes!
ConsBrightening: Although it's marketed as a brightening sunscreen, the brightening effect was quite subtle. It might be better suited for those who don't prefer a strong brightening effect..!
TipThis sunscreen seems perfect for those with dry, combination, or combination dehydrated skin rather than very oily skin types! It's fundamentally so hydrating that there's no chance for dryness.

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. 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.ProsFeedback when used on normal skin: ▪️Skin type: Sensitive normal, very thin skin ▪️Incompatible ingredients: Acids (citric acid), Oils extracted from citrus peels Centipeda cunninghamii extract ▪️Usage period: Three months / One bottle used Hydration: Despite being a sunscreen, it feels as moisturizing as applying a hydrating cream. It doesn't dry out the skin and absorbs well. Recommended for dry to normal skin types! Foundation-free: As it's a brightening moisturizer with sun protection, it's useful for light makeup or a bare-faced look. Recommended for those who need minimal coverage. It doesn't provide high coverage!
ConsColor: The formula color isn't white but ivory, so I thought it would look like foundation on the skin, but it actually turns white. I wish it had a more subdued color. Not for high coverage expectations: While it's a good product for those with already great skin to use instead of foundation, it's not recommended for people concerned about pores or blemishes. Darkening? Longevity? I'm not sure if it's because this is a brightening moisturizer with SPF, but strangely, when I look at my face in the evening on days I use this product, my complexion appears darker, as if it's oxidized. It might be due to poor longevity, but this product doesn't have exceptional staying power.

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.ProsI recently discovered this product while searching for something gentle, as my skin barrier was compromised and I couldn't even apply sunscreen. The absorption is excellent. It's not overly runny, but has just the right consistency for a base layer. After application, it doesn't feel greasy, doesn't dry out the skin like some sunblocks, and doesn't leave a shiny finish. It strikes a good balance between oil and moisture, and true to its brightening moisturizer claims, it slightly evens out the skin tone. The color isn't pink, but more of an ivory shade with perhaps a 3% hint of pink. It's hard to find a product that hits the right notes on multiple fronts, but this one is perfect for me - gentle, absorbs well, doesn't feel sticky or overly rich, and even brightens the complexion. I'll definitely repurchase!
ConsThere's nothing particularly disappointing about using this product. If anything, I just thought it would have been nice if it had a slightly pinker tone.
TipOn days when full makeup feels like too much, I find that applying this brightening moisturizer, lightly setting it with a powder puff, and adding a touch of color to my lips is enough for a natural, everyday look.

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. 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.Pros1) Application Experience Firstly, it absorbs wonderfully. When applying with your hands, it doesn't pill or drag, but spreads smoothly and evenly! With a texture close to an emulsion, it seems like a formula that would apply well even on dry skin types. Also, the feeling on the skin is quite hydrating, so I didn't experience any deep dryness. And sometimes when I apply sunscreen, my eye area can sting a bit, but with this one, there's almost no stinging around the eyes! 2) Fragrance I applied it to the back of my hand and sniffed, and unless you put your nose extremely close, it's nearly unscented. I'm more satisfied with this as I prefer unscented products over those that invest in fragrance. 3) Blemish Concerns I used it while having some red blemishes, and over a period of more than a week, I didn't experience any increase in blemishes. As a vegan sunscreen, it seems my skin accepts it comfortably. Although it's a sunscreen with some richness, I like that it doesn't seem to cause any blemishes!
Cons1) While it absorbs well, it is quite rich, so right after application it feels just hydrating, but after about 4 hours, a lot of oil comes through in the T-zone, requiring powder touch-ups. (However, this aspect might vary as I have combination dehydrated skin and tend to produce a lot of oil in my T-zone) 2) Minimal Brightening Effect I'm not sure if it's because I have a darker complexion, but I've tried many brightening sunscreens and this product's brightening effect is somewhat minimal. However, if you're looking for a natural brightening effect, this might be fine.
TipFor oily and combination skin types, I recommend pre-powdering areas where you tend to produce more oil. For dry skin types, I suggest keeping your skincare routine slightly lighter than usual!

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.ProsI have combination dehydrated skin with periodic blemishes. Recently, my skin has been dry, so I applied this after my usual skincare routine. I was surprised by how smoothly it went on and how moisturizing it felt. In fact, I could even skip my usual final moisturizer without feeling too dry. The scent is mild and inoffensive. I usually only use mineral sunscreens because chemical ones cause painful, inflamed blemishes, but while using this product, I didn't experience any major breakouts (just a few minor ones). After application, it gives a natural glow that makes my skin look healthy. The thin tube and lightweight formula make it easy to control the amount used. It's also comfortable to hold. As a bonus, using it now in November, it's even better. It shows more of a brightening effect than during hot and humid seasons, and it applies so smoothly that it's perfect under makeup. I'd recommend this sunscreen for dry seasons or for those with dry skin.
ConsThe rich texture felt slightly excessive. It felt more like it was full of oils rather than hydration. After applying, hair sticks to your face terribly. Powder is a must! I had high hopes for the brightening effect, but it didn't deliver at all. If you're expecting the brightening effect of mineral sunscreens, think again - it just adds a glow to your natural skin tone. While cleansing, I felt a small blemish and tried to extract it, but it seemed like either the sunscreen had clogged my pores or the excess oil had caused more to surface compared to before. For those who only use mineral sunscreens, be aware that you might experience breakouts like I did.
TipFor those with similar skin types to mine, I recommend using only hydrating products in your base skincare routine before applying this. Also, be careful when applying foundation or concealer after this sunscreen, as it can easily cause pilling.
