That's why I was able to trust and try it out more. And it seems to be a already famous product with over 4,000 reviews on Olive Young. First of all, as the name suggests, it's a sun 'serum' rather than a sunscreen, so it's watery and has a very smooth application! Also, the purple granules mix with the serum and naturally help neutralize the yellowness and provide whitening effects. It's on the oily side, so I'd recommend it for dry skin types. I have dry skin too, and it didn't feel heavy or leave any residue on the sides of my nose, which I really liked! Oily skin types will need to use powder with this. The feel is not sticky at all and very lightweight, which I loved. Sunscreens can often feel heavy and uncomfortable, but this product functions as a primer, serum, sunscreen, and makeup base all in one, so it's very convenient to use.
ConsThe downside is that the fragrance is a bit like fabric softener, and I think it would have been better if it was unscented. Also, since the formula is a serum with separate purple granules, it doesn't spread evenly at first, so you have to rub it in a lot to distribute it properly.

The bad points seem to outweigh the good, so I can't really think of any positives. Compared to a typical tone-up sunscreen + purple-based product, there doesn't seem to be any clear advantages. The only thing I guess is that the tone-up effect makes your skin look whiter, like when you apply a mineral sunscreen.
ConsThe worst part for me was the fragrance. It has an extremely strong bubblegum or fruity scent that's just overpowering. Since this is a product you apply to your face, the artificial and intense fragrance lingers for hours after application. And the grainy texture they advertised as a unique feature actually ended up being a downside. The tone-up cream is separated from the serum or oil, so you have to spend a long time mixing it on your hand before applying to avoid clumps. It's just too much of a hassle, especially when you're in a hurry and want a multi-purpose base product with sunscreen.

Product features: Pump type, with tone-up cream granules in the serum (at first I thought they weren't mixed, but this is the original formulation) Advantages 1. Can fulfill the functions of sunscreen, tone-up cream, makeup base, and serum all in one. 2. Natural tone-up. It brightens the skin tone naturally without making the face look overly white. Comes with a subtle glow. 3. Serum-like texture is moisturizing. Therefore, it is less likely to accentuate flakiness compared to other tone-up creams. 4. Applies naturally even when applied generously. No need to worry about the face becoming too white, as with other tone-up creams. 5. No eye irritation. No skin irritation. No breakouts. 6. No heavy, stuffy feeling. (Can't say for sure, as I haven't sweated yet, but) It seems like it would be fine to wear in the summer.
ConsDisadvantages 1. (Since it's not a concealer, this is obvious) It can only tone up the skin. It cannot cover freckles, dark circles, or acne scars. 2. Has an oily feel. But it's not to the extent that it sticks to the hair. 3. Not sure about the scent. It's not a bad one, just the typical drugstore cosmetic smell.
Tip1. Recommended for those who find it too troublesome to apply tone-up cream and sunscreen separately. 2. Recommended for those looking for a moisturizing tone-up cream. 3. Recommended for those who don't know much about application and just want to quickly apply something in the busy morning. 4. Recommended for students as an easy-to-apply sunscreen alternative.

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsHere is a Hwahae Trial Reviewer's review. 💜 I tried out Editbe, the sister brand of Piia, with great expectations~ 1. Tone-up Effect The tone-up effect appears very naturally. Unlike regular mineral sunscreens, there is no excessive whitening, and it brightens the skin evenly as shown in the photo. The skin texture is greatly improved. This would be a good choice for those who want a natural skin expression. 2. Texture Since the formula contains 54% hydrating serum, it applies smoothly and moisturizes well. Most importantly, despite having capsules, it doesn't feel too thick when spread out. If you're looking for a skincare-like feel, this product would be a good fit. 3. Usage Experience As mentioned in the texture description, you need to gently rub the capsules with your fingers to spread it evenly. Despite having sensitive skin, I didn't experience any breakouts during use. The purple color base and the inclusion of skincare ingredients help provide a natural glow without darkening.
Cons1. Fragrance The downside is that the fragrance may be polarizing. My first impression was that it smells a bit like grape jelly... It's a scent that can be found in old sunscreens, so those who dislike it may not enjoy it. I'm also not a big fan of the fragrance. 2. Control For beginners, this formula might be quite difficult to use... There's no accompanying tool, so you have to apply it with your hands. When rubbing the granules, they can sometimes get pushed away or clump up. It seems to work best when the skincare base is properly prepared.
TipIt seems to apply best when the skincare base is not too heavy, maintaining the right oil-water balance. It may be more suitable for dry skin types, so you'll need to adjust your skincare routine accordingly. As mentioned, the focus should be on spreading it evenly with your hands. Also, make sure to give it enough time to fully absorb!

My skin type varies a lot with the seasons, but currently it is combination skin. 1. Definite Tone-Up Effect The tone-up effect is really noticeable and great! Among the tone-up creams I've used so far, this one makes my skin noticeably whiter, to the point where it's one of the best. 2. Multifunctional It's moisturizing enough for dry skin to use, without any flaking or dullness. And among tone-up creams, this one has a strong sun protection function, which is really nice! I honestly couldn't feel the primer effect, but it seems to work well as a makeup base. When I apply foundation after using this product, it definitely applies more evenly and doesn't look as patchy.
Cons1. Fragrance The fragrance is too artificial, and I felt averse to applying it because of the smell. If they could just change the fragrance, this product would be great. 2. Clumping Because of the purple particles in the product, I had to rub it in multiple times, and it would end up clumping. This caused skin irritation and a rise in skin temperature.

I just rolled it on like applying regular cream, and the application was very smooth. 🌸 Good Value A small amount goes a long way in providing good coverage, so I expect this product to last me quite a while. 🌸 Minimal Eye Irritation I have very sensitive eyes. I didn't experience any eye irritation when using this sunscreen, even on windy days when I went outside after applying it. 🌸 Cute Packaging I really like the packaging because I'm fond of purple and pastel tones. The pump dispenser is also convenient to use. 🌸 Luminosity The luminosity is nice, but a bit too much for my preference, especially in the summer. It has more of a dewy glow than a natural, satin-like finish. However, I didn't experience any stickiness or dryness. 🌸 No Creasing Unlike other tone-up sunscreens or regular sunscreens, this product doesn't settle into fine lines or crease around my eyes and laugh lines when I wear it alone (without makeup).
ConsHere are the personal points I found disappointing while using the product: 🥹 Fragrance When I first applied it to my face, it had a grape or bubblegum-like scent which I liked. But the more I applied it, the more it started to smell like a hair salon, making it a bit burdensome to apply on my face. However, there was no lingering fragrance after absorption. 🥹 Dosage & Absorption As mentioned in the pros, a small amount can provide tone-up, but this can also be a downside as I'm not sure if that amount can fully perform the role of a sunscreen. But if I use the regular amount like a normal sunscreen, the slow absorption makes it very difficult to apply the recommended amount that dermatologists advise. 🥹 Tone Mismatch This is a personal preference, but for reference, I have a skin tone of #21, which is a typical Korean skin tone with a yellowish undertone and slight redness on the cheeks. The purple-toned color correcting sunscreen didn't seem to match my skin tone well. Instead of blurring and tone-up, it made my skin appear whiter, accentuating my freckles and uneven texture, unlike the tone-up sunscreen from Dall* that I usually use. 🥹 Makeup Slippage Perhaps due to the very moisturizing formula and slow absorption, when I applied makeup on top of this sunscreen, the base makeup started to clump and slip. I could feel it coming off when I touched my face later. It seems this sunscreen is better suited for use without makeup, like when going out or exercising, rather than for full makeup application.

It applies lightly and thinly, so makeup applies well on top of it and my skin feels comfortable.
Cons✔️Fragrance It had a rather artificial, perm-like scent that was quite strong. Those sensitive to fragrance may not like it. ✔️Texture While the thin, lightweight application was a plus, the problem was that it didn't layer well. Clumsy people like me need to be careful when applying, or it can look uneven. If you have a heavy skincare routine, this product may also pill when applying on top of it. It's best to use it after your skincare has fully absorbed. ✔️Lasting Power At first, it provided a hydrated, smooth skin finish, but over time, I felt my skin getting drier. But this may just be the case for my extremely dry skin.
TipWhen you first use it, the product may seem separated, with an oil layer, but that's normal - you just need to shake it up before using. If you're having trouble applying it evenly, try warming it up on the back of your hand first, then gently patting it onto your face.

Cons- Fragrance: The fragrance is somewhat like fabric softener..?But since I generally don't like fragrances in cosmetics, it was a bit disappointing for me - Cakiness: Depending on skin condition, it seems you need to use a very small amount! Otherwise, it can become cakey +++ It's currently being used only for neck tone matching due to the excessive cakiness ㅠㅠㅠ I'll have to try it again in the depth of winter
TipI use it to match my neck tone after applying makeup!! Apply it to the face and then press with a kitchen towel or makeup tissue to help control the glow

Among tone-up sunscreens, it is extremely rare to find one that is not drying. Even over time, it does not dry out at all. The tone-up effect is definite, and it also effectively locks in moisture. It spreads very smoothly, almost like gliding on with your fingers. When I first used it, I thought, 'Wow, this is really good.'
ConsIt cakes up like mud. Just by applying this, my friend said there was gunk coming out of my face all day long when I met them. No matter how well I do my skincare, it cakes up. The scent is too strong, similar to men's skincare, and it lingers all day long. There must have been an ingredient that didn't agree with me, as it caused a breakout all over my face.

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsUsability ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The purple granules turn white when rubbed, completely adhering to the skin. There is no whitening effect even if you apply the sunscreen incorrectly, and it can be applied easily like a lotion, so it is very convenient to use. And the moisturizing power is also very good, so it is really good for people with dry skin. Texture ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ It has a unique texture with purple granules that turn white when rubbed, and it applies like a lotion. If you switch from using a sunscreen to this, you can really apply it conveniently. Packaging ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The packaging design and color are pretty, and there is no leakage or residue, so it is a very convenient packaging design. It's also the right size to carry around.
ConsFragrance ⭐️⭐️ Personally, I'm a bit sensitive to fragrances, and there's a slightly artificial grape-like or medicinal smell that bothers me a bit. Everything else is good, but this was the most annoying aspect of this product. This scent also lingers for a long time, so it would be good if it could be improved. Coverage ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Compared to the color-correcting sunscreen I normally use, the coverage is significantly lower. It seems that the convenience comes at the expense of coverage. For those who rely solely on color-correcting sunscreen for coverage, this product may not be a suitable replacement, but it is a great product to use before applying foundation.
TipMen who mainly use color-correcting sunscreen to cover their skin should be aware that the coverage of this product is too weak. However, for those who use foundation to cover their skin, this can be a good base product.
