I've been using it since before the reformulation and have tried the new version as well. This review is based on about 6 months of use. As a working professional, I often found myself torn between not having enough time for a full makeup routine in the morning and looking too worn out without any makeup. That's when I discovered this product. The pump bottle is convenient - I either dispense a suitable amount onto the back of my hand or apply it directly to my face. Both methods work well and are easy to use. I have acne and some acne scars, which make my complexion uneven. This product not only evens out my skin tone but also covers light blemishes, leaving only larger pimples or spots visible. I'm very satisfied with its coverage. I'm also pleased with its hydrating properties. Before the reformulation, it had a slightly more matte finish, but the new version feels even more moisturizing. When I apply this after my skincare routine, my skin looks smooth, hydrated, and radiant.
ConsI didn't experience any major issues, but I did notice some minor pilling around the sides of my nose. However, it wasn't significant enough to be bothersome.

Skin type: super sensitive, prone to blemishes, slight redness, combination dehydrated skin, and prone to breakouts if ingredients don't agree. - Bought it on a whim after seeing an ad, but surprisingly, it's better than expected - Applies smoothly by hand without feeling thick or heavy - As someone with combination dehydrated skin that tends to get oily, I'm not sure about its matte finish, but it doesn't leave an overly dewy look either - The color is great. I usually use shade 21 but prefer a lighter makeup look, so this suited me well - It doubles as sunscreen, so you get brightening moisturizer and UV protection in one - Even with oily skin in winter, it doesn't pill or clump up - No breakouts on my super sensitive skin! - If you have a similar skin type, give it a try. It's genuinely a good product (I usually get 1-2 pimples with foundation, but not with this)
Cons- The long cap made me think it was a pump, but it's just a regular tube - While I love that it's fragrance-free, it does have that typical sunscreen smell - Only comes in one shade, so not much variety - It provides some coverage but won't hide dark spots (though it does a good job with redness!) - It's not extremely matte, so after about 4 hours, you might notice some shine around the nose However! It's great for a foundation-free look! Might be a bit tricky for combination or oily skin in summer, but perfect for winter, spring, and fall
TipFor those with oily skin, try applying primer on your nose area before using this product to boost its staying power

Even with my super sensitive skin, I experienced no issues (used almost daily for about 2 months). Doesn't cause dryness. No significant breakdown, darkening, or other problems.
ConsLacks coverage. If you're not careful with the amount, there can be a stark color difference between face and neck (becomes too bright). It's more matte than dewy. Tends to settle into pores around the nose. The skin finish isn't particularly impressive... It just slightly brightens the skin, but has that typical mineral sunscreen feel - a bit cakey, with a white cast and a slightly powdery texture.

I think it would be great for those who prefer a yellow-based complexion!
ConsIt tends to settle into the creases around the nose. Even though I usually use shades 20-21, this one felt slightly lighter on my skin.
TipAs I have super sensitive skin, I found it better to apply with a spatula rather than using my hands!

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.ProsMy skin is slightly lighter than shade 21, and at first I thought it might be too orange, but as time passed, it blended to match my skin tone. The biggest advantage is that you can complete your skin makeup with just one product. It feels moisturizing when applied and has a powdery finish, so I recommend it for combination dehydrated or oily skin. This brightening moisturizer doesn't settle into pores and provides a natural-looking complexion. I have super sensitive skin, but it didn't cause any blemishes!
ConsIt feels moisturizing when applied, but gradually becomes matte, so those with dry skin might experience some deep dryness. However, it feels a bit sticky to the touch on the surface. The name 'Matte but Glow' makes sense for this formula. I'd prefer if it were moisturizing inside and matte outside, but it feels slightly the opposite. I have prominent pores on my nose, and while it doesn't exactly settle in, you can see the product slightly filling them.
TipGive it some time as it blends with your natural skin tone over time. It's quite long-lasting, so you'll need a cleanser with oil to remove it effectively.

It dispenses small amounts, making it simple to control the quantity. Ingredients: Free from harmful ingredients, making it suitable for sensitive skin types. After using it for about 6 days, I didn't experience any adverse reactions. Texture: The texture isn't runny; it's more like a semi-matte foundation consistency. Application and Evaluation: It provides a slight brightening effect, making it a good substitute for sunscreen when you don't feel like applying full makeup. The coverage is enough to conceal some redness. Although it's described as 'matte but glowy', as someone with dry skin, I found it a bit drying. It might be more suitable for oily skin types.
ConsWhile it claims to be 'matte but glowy', I couldn't really see the glow. It felt a bit drying on my dry skin. When applying, there was some pilling and emphasis of dead skin cells around the nose area.

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.ProsSkin Type: Combination dehydrated, sensitive, prone to redness. Prefer 21 shade with pink undertone. Like products that cover pores and texture rather than dark spots. Prefer makeup that fades gracefully. Sunscreen alone doesn't control sebum or blackheads. Don't usually wear sunscreen daily. Texture: Color is a rich, non-dull ivory white BB cream. Texture glides smoothly on hand swatch, though not completely transparent. Scent: Barely noticeable fragrance, neither pleasant nor unpleasant. Application: Feels like a mineral sunscreen mixed with foundation. Thought it would apply smoothly, but it's quite thick and difficult to spread. Requires some effort to blend, might be better with a tool. After multiple uses: - As a blush lover, noticed it can make blush look patchy and heavy on top. - Regardless of application method, nose creasing seems unavoidable. Least risky method is roughly applying with fingers then blending with a puff.
ConsThis product seems to enhance the appearance of those who already have good skin. Upon application, dead skin cells and nose creasing become immediately visible. Experienced the typical warm feeling around the philtrum area, similar to other sunscreens.
TipExfoliation is a must before use. Recommend applying only one thin layer, as it doesn't seem to build up well with multiple applications.

It's a perfect product to replace foundation on days when you don't feel like doing a full makeup routine.
ConsIt tends to settle a bit around the sides of the nose, and after applying powder, you can see some cracking as time passes.
TipAfter spreading it all over with your hands, finish by gently patting it with any puff for even better adherence to the skin.
