The product itself seems quite gentle on the skin.
ConsUnfortunately, the fragrance doesn't agree with me. It feels a bit harsh. There's an unavoidable stickiness, and when applied all over the face, it becomes patchy.

I wish it had stayed that way...
ConsI'm not sure if it's been reformulated, but it's become thick and has a strange chemical smell. If it weren't for this, I would have continued using it. The scent is too overwhelming every time I use it. I think I'll have to switch to something else after finishing this one... It was truly my holy grail...
TipI should have stocked up before the reformulation

It's a pleasure to apply! Brightening effect: It brightens the complexion more naturally than regular brightening moisturizers! It's perfect for a quick swipe in summer instead of foundation before heading out. Packaging: The eco-friendly packaging and the fact that it's a vegan product made me trust the brand even more. It's great to see them considering the environment!
ConsFading: As someone who tends to sweat a lot, I noticed it tended to become patchy over time. This seems unavoidable with products that have a white cast. Scent: When I first received the product, it had a strong wood glue-like scent that made it really difficult to apply. I'm not usually sensitive to fragrances, but this particular glue-like smell was quite off-putting.
TipThose with oily skin, powder is a must!

The difference is noticeable as soon as you apply it. Personally, I was a bit surprised by how white it went on, almost like kabuki makeup. But the way it absorbs is fantastic compared to other brightening sunscreens. While others can be stiff and require multiple applications, this one spreads easily with just a couple of swipes. It's so convenient and effective. If you're looking to go foundation-free, this could be a great base to try.
ConsOn the downside, as I mentioned earlier, if you don't control the amount, your face can look overly pale and floaty. When I applied it all over, including around my eyes, it gave me this awkward, ghostly look - like I'd only whitened my base. The scent was also more artificial than I expected. When applied to areas with dead skin cells, it seemed to highlight them even more as time passed, making them really stand out. As someone who likes to apply sunscreen generously, I found this a bit challenging to use. It might be better suited for those looking for a brightening moisturizer or a foundation alternative rather than primarily as sun protection.
TipWhile it is a sunscreen... you really need to be careful with the amount to achieve a natural brightening effect. It absorbs well, which makes it easy to apply. I appreciated that it wasn't as stiff as other brightening sunscreens.

Applies smoothly and absorbs well. Not sticky, leaves a fresh feeling. - Works well for brightening even on fair complexions (be careful with the amount used). I usually finish my makeup with sunscreen and a makeup base, and this doesn't pill when layered with both. The calamine ingredient gives a pink tint, making the skin look healthy. - Appreciated that it's a vegan sunscreen that doesn't harm marine ecosystems. - Gentle and non-irritating.
Cons- The scent is overwhelming... I can't get used to it. It's somewhat artificial... reminds me of the smell of takoyaki left out too long. If only it were fragrance-free, I'd consider repurchasing. - Might be too drying for those with dry skin in winter.

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.ProsBrightens complexion beautifully When applied to the skin, it creates a lovely pink-toned brightening effect that's absolutely gorgeous. Among brightening moisturizers with SPF, I dislike those that leave a white cast, but this product's advantage is that it doesn't do that. As you can see in the second hand swatch photo, it definitely brightens the skin tone without that chalky look. Perfect texture It has just the right balance of hydration and richness. The formula is so good that it absorbs well. I love that it doesn't have that thick, hard-to-spread texture typical of some brightening sunscreens. In conclusion, it's a versatile sunscreen that doesn't leave a white cast, absorbs well, and has a beautiful color. However...
ConsThe one disappointing aspect was the scent... Do you know that rubber smell typical of unscented products? This one has a bit of that rubber scent. It doesn't linger after application, but for me, the initial smell was really off-putting. Because of the scent, I became reluctant to use it later on. (Though I don't often use brightening moisturizers with SPF in general...)

My skin is sensitive and dry with a slight redness, but this cream left it feeling hydrated while providing a bit of coverage and brightening my complexion. It was great! The brightening moisturizer has a slight pink tint that beautifully evens out the skin tone, making it sufficient as a base-free item! I felt it was less irritating to my skin thanks to the calamine powder. Since I don't usually wear makeup, just applying this alone was enough for everyday use! Even when I do wear makeup, applying a thin layer of this and finishing with a light touch of cushion foundation left my skin looking beautifully polished!
ConsI didn't like the scent at all! It smelled artificial, and I thought it would be better if they used a herbal fragrance or something else instead!
TipI don't have large pores or blemish-prone skin, but when I applied cushion foundation over this, it seemed to emphasize my pores and look patchy. However, when I mixed the brightening moisturizer with foundation in a 1:1 or 1:3 ratio, it created a beautiful skin finish!

However, after trying it, I realized it's not quite enough for tone correction on its own. As someone who prefers sunscreens that absorb well, I usually go for organic or hybrid filters. Is this a mineral sunscreen? The absorption isn't great... The texture is thick rather than runny. Even with continuous application, it doesn't spread easily and leaves hand marks. I wondered if I was using too much! Rather than evening skin tone, it leaves a noticeable white cast, making my skin look pale. This is just my personal opinion, of course! Those who prefer a brightening effect from white cast might really like this. Unfortunately, I probably won't be repurchasing.
ConsOh no! The smell... I was shocked when I first applied it. I thought maybe my sense of smell was being overly sensitive, but even after sniffing it multiple times, the scent still seems too strong. While it does fade over time, it's quite unpleasant during application.
TipI prefer to apply it in thin layers multiple times. Gently patting it in at the end gives even better results!

While I usually prefer chemical sunscreens for their absorbs, this one has a texture similar to physical sunscreens. I understand it's unavoidable for a brightening moisturizer, so I applied it anyway. At first, I thought it might be too rich, but after a while, it gave a pleasant glow that wasn't overwhelming. If you find it too dewy, you can always set it with powder.
ConsIt tends to pill where my glasses rest on my nose, similar to how foundation might. Also, the scent is not great. While others might find it okay, to me it smells like sawdust. It's like the smell of wood when you're doing carpentry. Fortunately, the scent doesn't linger long and fades with time, but it's unpleasant when first applying.
TipTo avoid pilling, I recommend applying it with a sponge.
