It spreads smoothly and evenly on the skin. Brightening effect: I typically use shade 21 or porcelain foundation. This product gives a similar effect. While I'm not entirely sure about its brightening capabilities, I'm satisfied with the natural-looking complexion it provides! Scent: The fragrance is pleasant and inoffensive! Packaging: The clean, minimalist design aligns perfectly with its vegan claim, giving off a nice eco-friendly vibe that I really appreciate!
ConsIf you're looking for significant brightening effects, this might not be the best choice. It provides more of a subtle, natural-looking glow!
TipThanks to its smooth application, I think it would be especially beneficial during the winter months!

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.

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.

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.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.

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. No added fragrance The packaging mentions there might be a natural scent from the ingredients, but it's so subtle it's practically unscented. I didn't experience any discomfort at all. 2. Company philosophy The ingredients are gentle, and the product packaging is made from eco-friendly materials designed with recycling in mind. 3. Smooth application and moisturizing It applies well with just the right amount of hydration, without feeling thick or heavy. I'd recommend this to those who don't prefer overly watery, lotion-like textures. 4. Skin comfort When applied, there was no burning sensation or heaviness - it felt comfortable on the skin.
ConsWhy include 'tone-up' in the product name? That's the only thing I can't understand. There's no significant brightening effect. There's a slight illuminating effect due to the rich texture, but it fades quickly. If the term 'tone-up' hadn't been used, I wouldn't have expected it. The product name might lead to disappointment when using it.
TipAfter applying sunscreen and before your base makeup, gently blot any excess oil with a tissue for better results.

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...

It seems to enhance makeup longevity and application. However, I wouldn't recommend combining this with dewy foundations or cushions Skin reaction: No adverse reactions - my skin loved it Vegan-friendly, so you can use it with peace of mind
ConsThe brightening effect is extremely subtle, so if you're looking for significant tone-up, this might not be for you Those with very oily skin might find it a bit too rich
TipThis sunscreen + matte cushion or foundation = flawless, 'egg-shell' skin finish

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.ProsWith the current trend towards vegan products, I was pleased to find this plant-based vegan option that aligns with my values. The SPF 50+ PA++++ rating is impressive. I've disliked products with low SPF that seem more for show, but this one's strong enough for outdoor use. It's passed various sensitivity tests, so its gentle formula goes without saying - good! The added blue light protection is a welcome feature for office workers who spend a lot of time in front of computers. Seeing hinoki water as the second ingredient on the list, known for its soothing properties, gives me more confidence in the product compared to those with just purified water. The absence of 8 specific ingredients is another selling point. While avoiding animal-derived ingredients, mineral oils, and parabens is now standard, I appreciate that it's also free from triethanolamine and PEG surfactants, which can be irritating for some. I'd give extra points for the safety seal on unopening and the easy-to-remove label for recycling. The lightweight cream formula applies smoothly without leaving a white cast, feeling fresh and hydrating on the skin.
ConsAlthough it's marketed as a tone-up sunscreen, I was a bit disappointed by the minimal brightening effect. With my slightly yellow-toned skin, it was hard to notice any real difference in complexion. While it's not completely matte, there's a slight shine and initial stickiness after application. As someone who prefers a semi-matte finish, this wasn't ideal for me, though those who like a dewy look might be satisfied.
TipSince it doesn't leave a white cast, you can reapply it over makeup for blue light protection before work or during lunch, as long as your makeup isn't too heavy.

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.
