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.

As someone with blemishes and large pores, I never dreamed of going foundation-free. But surprise, surprise! When I used this with my usual matte foundation that was too cakey for everyday use, it was a game-changer! It adds just the right amount of richness, giving me that beautiful glow without making my foundation pill. While using this, I often thought it felt like a lightweight sunscreen. There's no heavy feeling, just a natural brightening effect that I love. It was especially perfect for matching my neck tone with my face! Texture: A thin, creamy formula that absorbs well Scent: Almost fragrance-free Color: A subtle peachy hue that evens skin tone naturally
ConsIt's more rich than hydrating, so blotting papers become a must-have as time goes by...!
TipIt works perfectly with matte foundations that I used to find too heavy for everyday wear!

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.

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.
