While the SPF could be higher, I used it as a sunscreen base before applying makeup, and it definitely helped create a more solid foundation. As we age, skin loses elasticity and moisture, and heavy base makeup can look unnatural and cakey - sometimes worse than wearing no makeup at all. This product is perfect for those situations. It subtly and naturally evens out the complexion overall. I recommend it as a substitute for both sunscreen and brightening moisturizer.
ConsThe price is the main drawback. You'll want to save up coupons and points to purchase it.

Even with a sheer application, it naturally brightens your complexion, which I really liked. In terms of coverage, it's perfect for those times when you want to step out looking a bit more put-together than bare-faced. As a base product, it focuses more on evening skin tone rather than heavy coverage, but it still manages to conceal minor blemishes and dark spots. The scent is a subtle, inoffensive powdery fragrance that should work for most people without causing any issues.
ConsFor my combination dehydrated skin, it was too greasy to use on its own. After some time, my natural oils started to come through, and it felt like the product was mixing oddly with my skin. If you're planning to wear it for more than a short period, I'd recommend setting it with a fixer after application, or following up with foundation and powder for a more lasting finish.

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.

It brightens and evens skin tone nicely. I was worried it might look yellowish on my fair skin (I'm a shade 21 or lighter), but it actually creates a radiant base that allows for a sheer, natural-looking makeup application. Even after hours of wear, it outperforms bare skin - I didn't need to touch up nearly as much as I usually do! As someone with very dry skin, I found it worked wonderfully when applied over a good skincare routine. I'm really satisfied with the results.
ConsThe product has a bit of an oily feel, so it might not be ideal for those with oily skin. The runny consistency can make it tricky to control the amount and application in some areas.
TipA pro tip: Mix a pea-sized amount with your concealer and dab it on areas you want to cover. It provides a natural-looking coverage that works wonders.

The coverage is minimal, but it goes on thin and natural-looking, which is to be expected.
ConsAs someone with combination dehydrated skin, I found it feels too oily. Within an hour or two of application, it gets shiny, making powder a must-have. I probably won't reach for this in summer. Also, perhaps because I applied it with my fingers, it seemed to sit on top of my skin rather than blending in seamlessly.

It's not sticky, and it doesn't feel heavy on the face, which I appreciate because I tend to avoid touching my face when products feel uncomfortable. This one has a lightweight feel, and it subtly brightens my complexion, making me reach for it without hesitation. I have slight under-eye wrinkles, and if I use the wrong foundation, it can settle into the lines, making my makeup look cakey and aging me. However, this product is so hydrating that it doesn't settle into wrinkles. It applies thinly, giving a natural look that's not dull, which I really like. I haven't been wearing much makeup lately, so I haven't tried it with foundation, but I think it would work great as a hydrating base before foundation or mixed in for a more moisturized, subtly glowing skin look~
ConsIt seems the focus is more on hydration and natural skin appearance rather than coverage, so it doesn't really conceal blemishes. The SPF isn't very high either, which makes it a bit disappointing to use on its own. There's also a slight oiliness to it, so those with oily skin might find it a bit heavy.
TipI either apply it all over my face, or on days when I've used acne patches or have some dead skin cells and don't want to apply it everywhere, I just dab it on areas that are relatively darker or uneven, like dark circles. Even just doing that makes me feel more put-together than wearing nothing at all!

Comfortable and hydrating feel It brightens the complexion well without being overly matte, which made for a pleasant application experience!
ConsThe coverage isn't sufficient for use on its own. The formula is quite watery, so be careful not to let it splash or drip when using the pump.
TipFor a hydrated skin look, try applying a layer with a damp puff before using your cushion foundation!

Spreads smoothly without clumping, even when applied by hand. For an even thinner application, you could use a puff or brush. - Has a consistency similar to a lightweight foundation. Due to its light coverage, there's no caking, creasing, or floating effect. - Provides a glow and slight tone correction (similar to my usual routine of just applying sunscreen, as I'm naturally fair-skinned). Skin condition remained consistent even after a few hours. - The dewy finish makes areas with good skin texture look even better (overall appearance is improved). However, up close, it doesn't significantly improve the appearance of pore areas. - I have blemish-prone skin if I use the wrong products, but this didn't cause any breakouts. A tiny bump appeared, but I'm not sure if it's related to this product.
ConsIf you apply this over sunscreen that leaves a white cast, there's hardly any difference. It doesn't cover freckles. It's similar to applying sunscreen, just with a bit more glow! The name 'Radiance Essence' suggests it should be the first step in makeup application, but it would be helpful if the product description included guidelines on whether to apply it before or after sunscreen, or the best order of application.
Tip- On days with high sun exposure, you'll likely need additional sunscreen (you could apply this first, then layer sunscreen on top). - In the photo, it's applied after moisturizer (you can see the glow, though the tone-up effect isn't very noticeable in the picture). - I used a cleansing milk to remove it, as I used it in combination with sunscreen. - Due to its thin application, those who use foundation on top might find it even more satisfactory (I couldn't try this as I don't have foundation).

While it might not be suitable as a complete sunscreen replacement, I applied it over my sunscreen and it didn't cause any pilling. It applies thinly and evens out the overall complexion, making skin look brighter. It also gives a subtle glow, making it a good brightening moisturizer. The moisturizing formula prevents flakiness, and although it doesn't provide much coverage, it creates a good base for other products to adhere to. Even after several hours, my makeup didn't break down and there was no darkening. I'd recommend this if you're looking for a pre-makeup base product or a brightening moisturizer.
ConsWhile this product is labeled as an essence, it's more suitable as a makeup base rather than a regular skincare product. When applied, it goes on thinly but leaves a makeup-like feeling that requires cleansing. Those who read product descriptions carefully might not have an issue, but labeling it as an essence could be misleading for those expecting a typical skincare essence. It would be helpful if the packaging more clearly indicated the product's true nature.

First, the texture is much thinner than regular foundations. When I pumped out one dose, it had a very fluid consistency. Second, I applied the foundation with a spatula, which usually spreads product thinly, but this one went on even more sheer. Third, one pump dispensed quite a generous amount. It was enough to cover my full moon-like face with some left over. Fourth, it applies thinly and feels very hydrating. Rather than feeling like I'm putting on foundation, it's more like applying a sunscreen packed with essence. I loved how lightweight it felt on my skin. It looks incredibly natural.
ConsFirst, because it applies so thinly, it feels like your skin is still showing through. It's less like wearing makeup and more like adding another skincare step. The base can get thick when you layer concealer on top. Second, I experienced some slight itching on my face. Third, I wouldn't recommend this for those with oily skin. It made my face extremely shiny.
