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!

It's the perfect size to carry around as a portable sunscreen. I was worried about flakiness or dead skin cells with tone-up products, but this one provides a natural brightening effect without being too light. The way it absorbs is absolutely fantastic! It feels light and fresh on the skin. I'm extremely satisfied with this product.
ConsWhile it's not the largest volume, it's great for light, everyday use!
TipWhen mixed with foundation, it gives a beautifully radiant finish

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!

Overall, I have combination dehydrated skin prone to redness and heat sensitivity! ✓ Texture It's between fluid and firm! The product absorbs well. ✓ Scent It's nearly fragrance-free! ✓ Finish I really loved how it dries to a comfortably matte finish without feeling sticky, leaving the skin feeling soft and smooth! ✓ Packaging The simple packaging was one of the things I really appreciated! ✓ Brightening Effect You can expect almost no brightening effect from this product.
Cons✗ Blemishes Since my skin is extremely sensitive to sunscreens, I unfortunately broke out on the second day of use. However, being a vegan product, I think it would suit most people well!

Combination skin type. Absolutely thrilled with this product! It's amazing! I believe it was fragrance-free. The application experience was fantastic! It spreads smoothly and leaves my face feeling comfortable. I've been using Espoir Water Splash Sun Cream for years, but this one surpasses it! Comparing the two sunscreens: Espoir: Naturally brightens skin tone. True to its name, it's hydrating. However, when applied to the neck for over 4 hours, it causes redness and itching. Be'Ware: Naturally brightens skin by half a shade. Feels powdery on the outside, moisturizing on the inside. Comfortable even after 8 hours on the neck. My usual routine is applying sunscreen, then Luna Bright concealer on my T-zone, butterfly zone, and chin. After 8+ hours, Espoir turns grayish, making my face look half a shade darker! But Be'Ware is so satisfying... When facial oils emerge, it blends well. Just a touch of powder on the eyebrows, forehead, and cheekbones where it's most oily, and it's perfect! I'm switching to this product! Repurchase intention: Absolutely! This is now my go-to sunscreen!
ConsWell... There's not a single thing I dislike about it! I'm extremely satisfied with this product~
TipAfter the initial application, I sometimes add a thin layer to areas where I want more brightening! If I apply it after sleeping for 8+ hours, exfoliating, and doing thorough skincare, my skin looks great!

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.

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.

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.

(Considering it's a sunscreen, it wasn't too suffocating) * Great as a base before makeup. With its natural brightening effect, when I applied cushion foundation over it, the longevity was better than expected. * It doesn't sit on top of the skin visibly and absorbs quickly, which I liked. * The product performance was good. It produced less excess oil compared to the brightening moisturizer with SPF (N***) I'm currently using. * While it doesn't have a distinct fragrance, there is a typical cosmetic scent. As I'm not particularly sensitive to scents, it was fine for me.
ConsThere weren't any particular drawbacks with this product. It's the most satisfying brightening moisturizer with SPF I've used.
