It brightens like a mineral sunscreen, but without any dryness! I used to apply mineral sunscreens for brightening, but they'd dry out over time. Now I think I'll stick with this! Above all, I love that the ingredients are gentle. It has great staying power too. It's perfect for that bare-faced look. My dad even said my skin looks clearer! There's not really anything to complain about, except maybe that one application is a bit light, so you need to apply twice. And it doesn't have much coverage? But I wasn't expecting coverage to begin with, haha... Plus, I'm satisfied that it covers some mild redness! - Hwahae UserOily SkinAcne SkinSensitive SkinApr 21, 2025
Personally, I love that it doesn't settle into wrinkles or pores, and doesn't dry out my skin. It's fantastic when mixed with foundation or applied over a brightening moisturizer - it doesn't cake up and there's no bothersome scent. The pump packaging makes it so convenient to use, and the added sun protection is a huge plus! I highly recommend this for those who prioritize how a product absorbs, want a natural-looking complexion, and desire even application. It's a must-try! I wouldn't recommend applying it to the neck as it feels a bit too rich for that area. When mixed with a semi-matte foundation, it gives a nice skin finish and absorbs well without feeling heavy. - Hwahae UserDehydrated SkinAcne SkinFeb 6, 2025
1. Not drying Unlike other brightening moisturizers that feel fine at first but gradually dry out, causing flaky skin and visible white patches of dead skin cells, this product doesn't have that issue as much, which I really appreciate. 2. Absorbs well The texture is somewhat like whipped cream, making it easy to spread on the face even with a small amount. 3. Pump dispenser It's hygienic, and the pump dispenses just the right amount each time, making it easy to control how much you use. 1. Not suitable for darker skin tones As someone with a medium skin tone, when I apply this product, it feels like I'm wearing a sunscreen with too much white cast. So, those with darker complexions might find it challenging to achieve a natural brightening effect. Since I have a medium skin tone, applying this product alone makes my skin look a bit too pale. I mix it with my regular moisturizer in a 2:1 ratio, which gives a more natural brightening effect without any dryness. Also, don't forget to carefully apply the brightening moisturizer around your eyes and mouth for an even complexion! - Hwahae UserOily SkinAcne SkinSensitive SkinJan 28, 2025
Applies smoothly with a hydrating feel, and feels less drying compared to other brightening moisturizers As time passes, it becomes quite oily and starts to wear off - Hwahae UserCombination SkinAcne SkinSensitive SkinDec 27, 2024
1. Texture and Feel • Texture: A lightweight, smooth cream formula. It spreads easily without burdening the skin and doesn't feel sticky, leaving a fresh finish. • Absorption: It quickly sinks into the skin upon application, without sitting on top. It feels moisturizing while naturally adhering to the skin. • Finish: Gives a dewy, hydrated finish as if you've applied a moisturizer. Keeps your skin hydrated all day long without any dryness. 2. Advantages 1. Moisturizing Power • Unlike many brightening moisturizers that can feel drying, this one provides excellent hydration like a moisturizer. Perfect for those with dry skin. 2. Sun Protection • With its SPF function, you can skip sunscreen for light outdoor activities. Conveniently brightens and protects from UV rays in one step! 3. Natural Brightening Effect • It evens out your complexion naturally without making you look overly pale or cakey. Its subtle effect makes it great for daily use. 4. Light and Fresh Finish • You can layer it multiple times without feeling heavy or suffocating. Especially recommended for those who dislike heavy base makeup. 1. Subtle Brightening Effect • The effect might be too subtle for those seeking a more dramatic brightening result. It's closer to a gentle skin-evening effect rather than an obvious tone-up. 2. Lack of Coverage • As it focuses on brightening, it may not sufficiently cover blemishes or redness. While satisfactory on days when you don't need much coverage, additional makeup might be necessary if you want more concealing power. The Hwahae Testers highly recommend the Nine Wishes Tone Up Cream if you're after hydrating moisture and a natural brightening effect! Its non-drying, fresh feel and sun protection make it perfect for days when you want to simply even out your skin tone. However, it might slightly disappoint those expecting a dramatic brightening effect or high coverage. We recommend this as a daily brightening moisturizer for those seeking a natural, hydrated skin look! - Hwahae UserDry SkinAcne SkinDec 4, 2024
I was feeling stressed because my face looked dark even when using cushion foundation, so I bought this brightening moisturizer thinking it might be good for days without makeup. Among various products, I chose this one as it seemed less likely to cause dryness in winter. Personally, it doesn't dramatically brighten the skin, but it definitely evens skin tone when applied to dull areas. I apply it to particularly dull areas like cheekbones, forehead, nose bridge, chin, and neck. I'm pleased that it's not drying for a brightening moisturizer. There's no dramatic effect. While it does brighten, like most brightening moisturizers, it can feel a bit dry as time passes. I apply sunscreen first, then use this brightening moisturizer to lighten dark areas. For any remaining dark spots or blemishes, I finish with Clio/The Saem concealer! - Hwahae UserDehydrated SkinMay 19, 2024
Absorbs cleanly without leaving an oily residue, and instead of breaking down, it absorbs quickly like a serum - exactly the texture I've been looking for! It looks so natural that you'll wonder how your bare face can look this pretty. Perfect as a brightening moisturizer when you're traveling and don't want to reapply makeup after washing up in the evening. It's also great as a base for makeup. With its sun protection feature, it's convenient for lazy days when you just want to apply one product. On dry days when you need to layer on skincare but worry about pilling under makeup, this works wonders. Just apply this and dab on some concealer, and your complexion looks great without foundation for half a day. After lunch, you can touch up with foundation or cushion if needed. It can feel a bit drying. The amount might be a bit small. It leaves white marks on dark clothing. - Hwahae UserDehydrated SkinSensitive SkinJan 9, 2024
This product has been my absolute favorite since high school! I've been using it for about 6-7 years now. It's a staple in my cosmetics collection, and even when I've tried other brightening moisturizers, I always come back to this one. It truly doesn't pill, has great staying power, isn't drying, and isn't overly hydrating either. It's simply the best brightening moisturizer I've ever used. I've tried all the hyped products and lesser-known ones too. This one really clarifies my complexion and effectively evens out my skin tone. As someone whose face feels heavy with foundation, I can't live without this product. I never had blemishes from using this before, but after my skin became more sensitive and my skin barrier weakened, applying this alone causes my skin to react badly. It leads to small bumps and excess oil production. While it could be due to the product expiring, I'd advise against using it when your skin is in a sensitive state. - Hwahae UserDry SkinAtopy SkinSensitive SkinOct 21, 2023
Unlike other brightening moisturizers that I usually abandon after a few uses due to dryness, clogged pores, or a white cast that appears over time, this product has none of those issues. It's quite hydrating and absorbs quickly even when applied generously. It truly lives up to its name, evening out the skin tone and giving a slight brightening effect. Even after hours of wear, it doesn't settle into pores or leave a floating appearance. I think I'll be using this for a long time. Personally, I found the scent pleasant and not overwhelming. The pump packaging is also a plus. There wasn't anything particularly disappointing about this product. However, those expecting high coverage might find it lacking. I recommend applying multiple thin layers for best results. If you have dry skin, it's advisable to use a rich moisturizer as a base. - Hwahae UserDry SkinOct 18, 2023
Folks, this product is a real gem! The brightening moisturizer doesn't make you look overly pale, but naturally evens your skin tone by about one shade. It's not thick or sticky, and it's genuinely hydrating! It doesn't dry out your skin at all. I didn't experience any blemishes throughout the entire time I used it. Since it's so moisturizing, it absorbs well, and the staying power is great too. It lasts all day long, from morning till night, without any issues. While it doesn't cover dark spots like a cushion foundation would, I think I'll just swipe this on and head out for casual occasions. I definitely need to stock up on more of this! While it is moisturizing, it doesn't give that dewy glow after application. Still, I'm quite satisfied with it overall! I think it would work even better if you apply it after a thorough skincare routine.
