When used alone as a cushion, it helped correct any darkening. I applied it instead of sunscreen, and thanks to its hydrating properties, my skin didn't feel dry. The shade 17 gave me a natural, bright look. It's perfect for quick outings - just applying this brightening moisturizer is enough! I highly recommend it.
ConsI didn't find anything particularly disappointing! However, if you have super sensitive skin, I'd advise checking the ingredient list before purchasing.

This product seems perfect for those with dry skin. The adherence is pretty good too, and right after application, it gives a healthy, beautiful glow. It also seems gentle as it doesn't cause any blemishes.
ConsIt's inconvenient having to shake it before each use. Also, the coverage isn't great - it mostly just evens out the skin tone and slightly covers dark spots. It doesn't really conceal blemishes well. I wouldn't recommend it for oily skin types in summer - it gets quite shiny over time, and if you try to set it with powder, it tends to cake up later. By the afternoon at work, my makeup had started to break down, and a coworker even asked if I was tired today! I was feeling perfectly fine, so that comment caught me off guard!

I love products that are almost water-like, hydrating, and have a texture that adheres to the skin at the end - and this fits that description perfectly. That's what I really liked about it. It has a lightweight texture, similar to a sunscreen! Skin appearance I have a yellowish undertone, but this product has a pink tone. When applied, it neutralizes my complexion, making it look clear, bright, and naturally evens my skin tone. What I appreciated most was that it doesn't feel heavy on the skin as it doesn't sit thickly on the surface. Staying power I was worried that the moisturizing texture might not last long, but after setting it with powder, it seemed to stay put all day long.
ConsWhile it provides a natural skin appearance, the coverage seems to be somewhat lacking. I had to use concealer for areas that needed more coverage.
TipIf you want to increase the staying power, finish with a powder for a matte, long-lasting effect! I highly recommend this to those looking for a lightweight, natural brightening moisturizer that doubles as a foundation to make your skin look clear and healthy.

ConsTo be honest, since the formula is very hydrating and gives a dewy finish it might not be ideal for those with oily skin It could feel a bit heavy for summer use I'll likely use it more often in fall and winter Also, the price is quite steep
TipWhen applied to areas prone to makeup creasing, it creates a smoothing layer so makeup looks flawless right after application and doesn't crease later on This review is based on using the product for the full duration of the Hwahae Testers program

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.Pros❤️ Staying Power Honestly, I didn't expect it to last long since the formula isn't matte but rather moisturizing. However, I was surprised by how long it stayed on. I used it alone without powder or other foundations, and since I work in an environment where I don't sweat excessively, it had decent longevity. ❤️ Skin Appearance True to its name 'Light Essence', it gives a sparkling effect that isn't overwhelming. Instead, it creates a smooth, luminous texture that makes you look like someone with naturally good skin, giving that coveted Inner Glow. It's quite photogenic and makes your skin look beautiful. ❤️ Fragrance The fragrance is also pleasant - a subtle scent that shouldn't be polarizing! ❤️ Coverage While it doesn't provide as much coverage as a foundation, it does a good job of evening out the skin tone, which I really appreciate!
Cons🥲 Ingredients The only slight disappointment was the ingredients list. Although I have sensitive skin, I didn't experience any blemishes!

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.ProsFirst off, it's incredibly hydrating and lightweight! My skin tends to be dry to normal in winter and during seasonal changes, but becomes combination dehydrated in summer. As a result, I'm sensitive to skincare and my skin can easily feel tight. I was worried about potential blemishes before using it, but I didn't experience any at all! It's extremely moisturizing and has such a thin texture that it seems to enhance your natural skin. I think it's perfect for a foundation-free look.
ConsWhile this product's strengths are its moisturizing effect and thin texture, it did fall short when I used it in summer. With all the sweat in summer, it wasn't ideal. However, it worked fine when I applied a thin layer of cushion foundation over it!
TipI believe this product really shines during seasonal transitions and winter! I'm looking forward to using it in the upcoming fall and winter. For those with clear skin, using a lightweight product with a subtle glow like this can actually enhance your skin's natural beauty more than a high-coverage cushion, similar to Chanel Les Beiges! So those people might be very satisfied using this alone. When I used it by itself, many people commented that my complexion looked clearer! If you're concerned about coverage or darkening, I think it's a perfect combination to apply a very thin layer of cushion foundation over it.

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.ProsScent: Barely noticeable, making it comfortable to use without overwhelming the senses. Packaging: The clean design is a major plus. Texture: The formula is very lightweight, gliding effortlessly on the skin. It applies smoothly and provides excellent hydration - its biggest strength! My skin leans towards dry combination, and this doesn't cause any patchiness. It even helps even out my complexion. With its triple-function formula and ability to provide basic skincare, it's truly a smart product! I'm very satisfied using it for a light makeup look when heading to work (great for those with already clear skin). Coverage: While it might be slightly lacking for some, when I applied it to half of my face, I could clearly see how it evened out my skin tone and added a beautiful glow!
ConsThe coverage is admittedly a bit lacking. It would be nice if it provided slightly more coverage, and it can be a bit sheer. You can build it up with a few layers for better coverage, but that takes extra time in the morning when you're rushing. During the day, it may wear off due to sweat, so touching up midday might be necessary. One minor issue is that the packaging tends to collect oily fingerprints easily.
TipAs someone with prominent dark circles, I paired this with the Shy Shy Shy Banana Concealer Eye Cream. Together, they're an unbeatable combo! It's great for creating a light makeup look without heavy foundation, perfect for wearing to the office!

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.ProsLucky me, I got selected for The Hwahae Testers to review this product. I'm a man in my 30s with combination skin who regularly wears foundation. Absorption: As expected, it applies beautifully. Being a moisturizing product, it naturally glides on better than other foundations. Using a spatula gives a long-lasting glow. Color: Like many men, I have a slightly yellowish skin tone (shade 25). Initially, I thought it might be too light, but after blending, it gave a natural, subtle brightening effect that I'm happy with. Skin Reactions: I have somewhat sensitive skin and have experienced blemishes from supposedly 'good' creams and serums. Thankfully, this didn't cause any irritation. In fact, my skin looked better after removing the makeup. Scent: While I'm not particularly sensitive to fragrances, I despise that powdery 'mom's makeup' smell. This one has a pleasant, non-nauseating scent.
ConsPrice: I was shocked when I looked it up - it's as pricey as department store foundations. If it had unique, beneficial ingredients, I could justify the cost, but it doesn't seem to. I might repurchase if there are frequent promotions. Sun Protection: I wish the SPF was higher than 35. Coverage: I have minor pigmentation issues. This product offers zero coverage. It's somewhat okay when used with a concealer. Staying Power: Given it's summer and the formula is moisturizing, the longevity is predictably poor. I'm curious how it would perform in cooler weather. As someone with combination skin who prefers full-coverage foundation for work or going out, this product is perfect for quick errands or when I can't be bothered with a full face. I'd consider buying it again.
TipI typically use Double Wear foundation and often mix brands. This product alone doesn't give that 'made-up' feel, but when mixed with Double Wear, it's amazing. I've tried the supposedly ultimate combo of Armani foundation with Double Wear, but Armani seemed to worsen my skin texture and cause blemishes. This one, however, doesn't irritate my skin, gives a nice glow, and combines perfectly with Double Wear's coverage and longevity. Try mixing it with any matte foundation - it's fantastic. I'm definitely considering a repurchase.

Even when applied by hand, it doesn't noticeably settle into pores. It doesn't make you look excessively pale either. I usually avoided sunscreen because it caused blemishes, but this one doesn't cause any issues. It evens my complexion naturally and feels great!
ConsIt might be slightly rich in texture... But it's not enough to be bothersome.

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.ProsThe texture is just as described - an essence-like consistency that applies thinly yet moisturizes, leaving your skin feeling fresh as if you've just done a skincare routine.
ConsFor my combination dehydrated skin, it's too dewy for summer use, making me hesitant to reach for it. True to its essence form, the coverage is practically non-existent.
TipI'll try it again in winter and see how it pairs with foundation and concealer, then update my review.
