ConsThe matte finish can lead to rapid fixation, resulting in a lack of hydrating skincare, which can cause dryness.

It claims to be a matte glow, and surprisingly, it manages to be both matte and glowing. With a good skincare base, this product, and a light dusting of powder, you can maintain a natural-looking complexion all day long.
ConsIt leans more towards glow than matte. Using this alone can lead to darkening, and by afternoon, it can get oily and start to pill. Don't expect much in terms of coverage.
TipWhen I layer this brightening moisturizer over my skincare and sunscreen, then set it with powder, my skin feels a bit tight, but it stays matte until the afternoon. The result is a fresh-faced look that doesn't scream 'I'm wearing makeup'.

It has a matte finish like foundation, feeling powdery yet light like an emulsion. Unlike other brightening sunscreens that can look chalky on oily skin, this one just seems to melt away. It's perfect if you want a natural complexion enhancement and a slightly made-up look.
ConsWhile it might not be an issue for those blessed with flawless skin, you may need to dab on a bit of concealer for areas that require more coverage, like dark circles.
TipI've been applying a thin layer all over, then layering it again on areas where I want more brightness or coverage.

It applies smoothly with excellent adherence, spreading evenly without clumping. The coverage is moderate, naturally evening out the skin tone while concealing blemishes and pores to some extent. It creates a matte finish without causing deep dryness, and imparts a subtle glow for a healthy-looking complexion. The longevity is decent, and when it does fade, it does so gracefully without looking messy.
ConsIf you have dry skin, you might need to layer on a good hydrating product underneath. It's suitable for casual outings or when you want a simple makeup look.

The coverage is decent, and it applies smoothly even with fingers without pilling.
ConsThe packaging has been redesigned, but the original was the best. Now the opening is too narrow, causing the product to suddenly burst out with a whoosh of air. It's a disaster if it gets on your clothes. This definitely needs improvement.

As someone who rarely wore makeup before, I'm truly delighted with this product. Just like its name suggests, it's matte yet gives you that gorgeous glow. It makes your complexion look fantastic, and even as time passes, there's no separation, no caking, and minimal darkening. It's an absolute must-have for those aiming for a foundation-free look!!
ConsThere's honestly not a single downside..!! Everyone, you simply must buy this product!

While it doesn't offer much coverage, it does even out my skin tone and hide minor blemishes. It's perfect for a light makeup look! It reminds me of the CC creams from back in the day. The application is smooth, and it dries to a matte finish. I loved that I could use it without powder in winter.
ConsIt tends to look a bit patchy on dry areas, so you need to prep your skin well to avoid this. The coverage is minimal, so I can't use it alone on days when I have a lot of blemishes. I'd only recommend this to those who prefer a natural, bare-skin look. While it does offer some color correction, it doesn't significantly brighten the complexion. If you already have fair skin, you might not notice much of a tone-evening effect.
TipApplying this over a hydrating base improves the coverage and reduces any patchiness!

That's all I can say.
ConsIt's drying, doesn't apply smoothly, settles into pores, and doesn't live up to the advertising claims. I'm disappointed. It's just like a regular brightening moisturizer with SPF.

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.ProsThis base product offers a matte finish with a subtle glow. Unlike traditional fully matte foundations, it provides natural coverage without drying out the skin, showcasing an impressive semi-matte finish. The coverage is medium to high, effectively concealing minor blemishes and redness. Thanks to its lightweight texture, it doesn't feel heavy even with multiple layers. Its excellent layering ability contributes to superior adherence, ensuring long-lasting wear without caking. There's minimal darkening over time, making it ideal for extended makeup wear. The color is a neutral beige that complements natural Korean skin tones well. It's neither too yellow nor too red, suitable for most 21-23 shade ranges. It brightens the complexion subtly without looking unnatural, perfect for those who prefer a natural makeup look. The texture is smooth with great absorbs, blending easily whether applied with a brush, puff, or fingers. Using a puff for application creates an especially smooth and luxurious skin finish. It seems more suitable for normal to combination dehydrated skin rather than very oily skin, and should work well even in dry seasons without pilling. Overall, this product is recommended for those seeking a subtle glow with natural coverage, and for anyone looking for a semi-matte foundation that keeps skin hydrated underneath.
ConsThe product doesn't adhere perfectly to the skin and shows some pilling over time. This issue is more noticeable when applied over excess oil or skincare products that haven't fully absorbed. I also wish it had better coverage!
