It's perfect for those times when you want to look moderately radiant. I have atopic dermatitis, acne-prone, and super sensitive skin. After using it for 4 days, I didn't experience any blemishes. This alone makes me very satisfied. After application, my skin feels slightly powdery, and it maintains well. During an early summer vacation, I drove for 4 hours, had a meal, and 6 hours later, there was hardly any difference from when I first applied it. I couldn't smell it due to a stuffy nose, but I asked my dad, and he said it smells nice. He described it as having that perfect cosmetic scent. The texture when applying is a bit thick? It feels like spreading unfinished Greek yogurt > but it becomes powdery after application. Just out of curiosity, I'd love to know the meaning behind the logo. Are those Seoul landmarks?
ConsIt doesn't cover blemishes - it's literally just a brightening moisturizer. If you can't control the amount well, it can make your face look too pale (I'm shade 23) and there's a bit of pilling. It feels too dry when applied with a cushion. I'm not a fan of applying with hands, so that was a bit disappointing.

It applies lightly and smoothly, and with almost no scent, it feels fresh without any discomfort.
ConsPerhaps due to its rich texture, it feels like it doesn't absorb as well. I found I needed to apply it in circular motions and pat it in. It's truly a brightening moisturizer - it doesn't provide much skin coverage, just slightly reduces redness. Am I asking too much from a brightening moisturizer?
TipAfter applying a light layer and patting it in to absorb, if you apply a second layer, your complexion becomes even more radiant.

It's close to unscented, but if you smell carefully, there's a hint of refreshing lemon-like scent which I really enjoyed! ✅ I appreciated that it wasn't one of those brightening moisturizers that make your face look unnaturally white and detached from your body. Despite its thick, white texture, I was worried it might turn my face ghostly pale like old-school tomato sunscreens, but that wasn't the case at all. It brightens your skin naturally! ✅ The generous amount makes it perfect for applying to the neck or chest area when wearing a tank top. Even just applying it to your neck while wearing makeup on your face works great! ✅ Contrary to my first impression, it didn't feel heavy, and perhaps because of that, it didn't seem to cause any blemishes.
Cons❌ As mentioned earlier, the texture is quite thick, which made it difficult to apply. It doesn't spread easily. I usually use brightening moisturizers when I'm feeling lazy about makeup and want to quickly apply something before heading out, but this one requires careful application, which I didn't like. Be sure to control the amount! When I first used it, I squeezed out too much and ended up looking like the photo... ❌ It doesn't provide coverage... It really just brightens your skin tone! ❌ I have somewhat visible pores, and I felt like the product tended to settle into them, often making the overall application look worse. This could be due to my lack of skill in applying it though. ❌ The lack of sun protection meant I had to apply sunscreen separately, which was a bit of a hassle.
TipMake sure to control the amount carefully! After applying the brightening moisturizer, setting it with powder will make it last longer and enhance the texture of your skin.

I pay extra attention to skin hydration, especially deep moisture, even in hot weather like now. ● Texture and Application: I used to think tone-up creams were thick and just made skin look unnaturally white. However, this Dermahan brightening moisturizer applies like a regular mineral sunscreen. It provides a subtle half-tone brightening effect that matches my natural complexion well. Although it doesn't have UV protection, it layers well over sunscreen without pilling. Just be careful with the amount - applying too much at once can make it clump and difficult to spread evenly. I recommend applying small amounts with your fingers rather than using tools like sponges or brushes. It doesn't transfer much after application and doesn't dry out the skin even after wearing it for a long time, which I appreciate. ● Texture: The texture feels similar to a typical mineral sunscreen. While it's not super smooth to spread, you can easily apply it by gently patting it with your fingers without needing any special technique. ● Scent: It's practically unscented - I could barely detect any fragrance while using it. ● Why I Recommend It: I often use mineral sunscreens, but sometimes their tone-up effect isn't quite enough. When foundation or cushion compacts feel too heavy for evening out my skin tone, this product is perfect. I personally love using it for a no-foundation makeup look.
Cons● Room for Improvement: 1. You need to be careful with the amount. Applying too much can lead to uneven application, pilling, and clumping. 2. It doesn't cover redness or flushing very well. It only provides minimal coverage for these issues. 3. If your skin lacks hydration or isn't well-exfoliated, it might emphasize dead skin cells.
TipMy favorite foundations and cushion compacts are usually a shade lighter than my skin tone, which can create a noticeable difference between my face and neck. I like to apply this product on my neck to minimize that tone difference when doing my makeup.

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.ProsPerfect for summer - it's matte but doesn't feel dry or tight after application. (Though I did notice some dryness later on, which I'll mention.) I have combination dehydrated skin and super sensitive skin. It provides a nice brightening effect. It's not overly white, which would look unnatural, but you can definitely tell it's on. A pea-sized amount is enough for the whole face when using just this brightening moisturizer. The staying power is pretty good too. While it won't keep you matte all day from morning to night, it does help control oil. I noticed a significant difference compared to not using it, which was an unexpected bonus. The photo shows the brightening effect using only this product, without sunscreen.
ConsIt's disappointing that it doesn't include sun protection, so you need to apply sunscreen separately. Also, when I tried applying this product over sunscreen that had been on for 3+ hours, it pilled. Even when I applied it right after sunscreen the next day, it still pilled. It also didn't cover my pores well, which are quite large. I'm not sure if it's due to my skin type, but it pilled even hours after applying sunscreen, so I don't think it's related to absorption. Throughout the testing period, I experienced some itching and blemishes on my forehead, which is my drier area. For those with very dry skin, I recommend applying a good base layer and using this product sparingly!
TipMake sure your skincare is fully absorbed before applying this. When using this product alone without sunscreen, it pilled even with my usual minimal skincare routine of just two products. This is for full-face application of the brightening moisturizer. I was surprised because this didn't happen with sunscreen. The next day, I waited a bit before applying the brightening moisturizer and it didn't pill. Just don't rush - a little patience is all it takes. Since I don't wear makeup, this might be less of an issue for me. I'm mentioning it for others who might be in a similar situation. It does pill more than my usual products. When I needed to use sunscreen, I mixed it with this brightening moisturizer in a 2:1 ratio (sunscreen to brightening moisturizer). To clarify the amount: when mixing, I used a pea-sized amount of sunscreen and about half that amount of the brightening moisturizer. This was enough for full-face coverage. Mixing with sunscreen resulted in the least pilling. Now that it's summer, most people will be using sunscreen. While the ratio might vary for each person, this worked well for me in terms of brightening effect. Later, my forehead became very dry, so I only applied it to my nose and cheeks. As mentioned earlier, it has good staying power, seems to absorb oil, reduces shine, and doesn't look noticeably different when applied partially. Now I only apply it to certain areas. On days when I'm just indoors or using a parasol, I sometimes apply just this brightening moisturizer partially, without sunscreen. When applying it over sunscreen in specific areas, I wait at least 10 minutes after applying sunscreen, then gently pat small amounts on my nose and cheeks, and lightly blend the edges. Hope this helps!

It's moisturizing like an emulsion and absorbs quickly, making it perfect for summer use without feeling heavy. 2. It absorbs well without pilling, making it easy to apply makeup afterwards. 3. It has a refreshing lemon scent, which was fine even for me with sensitive skin to fragrances. 4. The tube packaging allows for hygienic use until the very end, which is great. 5. It evens skin tone naturally without looking ashy or ghostly.
Cons1. It doesn't have sun protection, so those who dislike layering multiple products might not be fond of it. 2. While it evens skin tone naturally, it doesn't cover blemishes!
TipIt tends to settle a bit into pores, so if you have visible pores, using a primer beforehand will make it look much more natural.

You can really feel the hydration. Scent: There's a subtle vitamin scent. It's not an overpowering artificial cosmetic smell, and the vitamin scent naturally fades away, which is great! Texture: It has a texture somewhat like Greek yogurt? The brightening moisturizer I used before had a runny, emulsion-like consistency, but this one feels a bit thicker. Long shelf life: I received this product in 2023, and it's good to use until 2026!
ConsCoverage: As it's a brightening moisturizer, the coverage is understandably limited. For someone with blemishes and scars like me, I might be able to use it alone once my skin improves. Stickiness: While it feels moisturizing, there's a lingering stickiness after application, similar to sunscreen. In summer, when mixed with sweat, it might stick to your hair a lot. Longevity: It does temporarily brighten the skin! However, as time passes, it seems to fade a bit. No sun protection: In summer, don't use it alone. You should apply sunscreen first, then layer this on top.
TipFor those with good skin, if you suddenly need to go out and are concerned about your complexion, this would be great to apply quickly after your skincare routine! I plan to use it that way once my skin improves.
