The skin emulsion absorbs well even without putting in too much effort with skincare.
ConsTo be honest, I really disliked the scent. Personally, it reminded me of bathroom air freshener... Unfortunately, the fragrance lingers and doesn't dissipate. The slightly oily, slippery finish made me hesitant to use it during workouts or daily life. Also, when it mixes with sweat and gets into your eyes, it stings terribly. It might be okay for those who aren't sensitive to fragrances, but those with oily skin should definitely avoid this.
TipSince the fragrance is a major part of why I dislike it, I'm not sure how to overcome this drawback, so I haven't been using it much.

It goes on very lightly, and the glow lasts quite a long time.
ConsThe scent is incredibly strong. While I'm generally sensitive to fragrances, this one is just too much. It gives me a headache every time I apply it to the back of my hand, so I couldn't use it often.

The texture is interesting and it absorbs well into the skin.
ConsThe scent becomes overwhelming when you apply it. The product's initial fragrance isn't bad, but when you roll it on your face, it becomes exaggerated and smells almost like, well... not pleasant at all.

To be honest, I can't really pinpoint any good aspects. When compared to typical brightening moisturizers with SPF or lavender-tinted bases, there's nothing that stands out as particularly better. The only thing I can say is that it gives a white cast similar to mineral sunscreens?
ConsThe most off-putting aspect was definitely the scent. It has an overwhelmingly strong, artificial fruity fragrance - like bubblegum or something - that's quite nauseating. Considering it's applied to the face, the intensity and synthetic nature of the scent is problematic. It doesn't just dissipate after application; it lingers for hours. Another issue is the granules, which were marketed as a unique feature but actually turned out to be a drawback. The product is separated into what seems to be a serum or oil and a brightening moisturizer. To apply it properly, you need to dispense it onto your hand and blend thoroughly until the granules dissolve, which takes quite a while. It's impractical when you're in a rush. While the product aims to be a time-saving all-in-one makeup base with sun protection, it actually requires more effort than using separate products. If I'm short on time, I'd rather apply a brightening moisturizer, sunscreen, and makeup base separately than deal with this mess.

Definite brightening effect The brightening effect is truly remarkable! Among all the brightening moisturizers I've used, this one stands out - it noticeably lightens my complexion. 2. Multi-functional benefits It's hydrating, making it suitable even for dry skin. No flaking, and it brings out that coveted Inner Glow. What's more, unlike many brightening moisturizers with weak or no sun protection, this product offers strong UV defense - a huge plus! While I didn't notice much of a primer effect, it works wonderfully as a makeup base. When I apply foundation over this product, it goes on more evenly and with less patchiness.
Cons1. Fragrance The overly artificial scent was off-putting during application. If they could just adjust the fragrance, it would be nearly perfect. 2. Clumping Due to the purple particles, you need to blend it in thoroughly. This can lead to clumping, skin irritation, and even a slight burning sensation... not ideal.

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✔️Brightening moisturizer I loved how it evens out the skin tone without being too overwhelming. ✔️Hydration Being a serum, it provides more hydration than other sunscreens, which made my skin feel moisturized under makeup. It absorbs lightly and thinly, allowing makeup to apply smoothly on top, making my skin feel comfortable.
Cons✔️Scent It had a strong artificial smell, reminiscent of perm solution. Those sensitive to fragrances might not appreciate it. ✔️Texture While it absorbs lightly, which is a plus, it doesn't layer well. If you're not careful, it might apply unevenly. Also, if you've applied heavy skincare underneath, this product might cause pilling during application. It's best to ensure your skincare is fully absorbed first. ✔️Longevity Initially, it gives a moisturized and smooth skin appearance, but over time, I felt some deep dryness. However, this might only apply to someone with extremely dry skin like me.
TipWhen you first use it, you might think the product has separated due to age, with an oily layer appearing. But after researching, I found out that it's designed to burst the capsules as you use it. Don't be alarmed! If you find it difficult to apply evenly, try melting it well on the back of your hand before applying it to your face for a more uniform application.

It's a real time-saver for my morning routine. With its high SPF, I feel confident using it even in summer. As someone with dry skin, other brightening creams left me too parched, forcing me to carry emulsion. However, this product's hydration is so good that I don't have that inconvenience anymore. I have a warm complexion, and the purple base of this cream neutralizes my yellow undertones, giving a translucent brightening effect. I think it would suit those with warm skin tones really well.
ConsThe capsules inside break and release some powder-like substance that clumps together and causes pilling. Because of this, I can't use it as a base under foundation. I only use this product when I'm finishing my makeup routine without any other base. I'm sensitive to fragrances, and the scent of this is quite strong, which was uncomfortable for me. Even when I applied other products first, the smell of this one still overpowered everything else.
TipTo minimize pilling, try applying small amounts and layering gradually. If you squeeze out a large amount at once, it tends to clump and becomes difficult to spread evenly. I've tried squeezing it onto my hand and breaking up all the clumps before applying, which isn't bad, but it's a bit of a hassle. So I prefer the gradual layering method.

The glow it gives when applied This is subjective, but as someone with dry skin lacking oil, I found it quite nice. 2. Hygienic packaging for application 3. Unique texture, decent absorption 4. Effective as a sunscreen 5. Doesn't cause blemishes★ As someone with sensitive skin, this is crucial for me, and I had no issues.
Cons1. The scent is unpleasant It has that typical sunscreen smell... with an odd fragrance added, which I personally disliked. 2. It pills The product description suggests applying an amount the size of a 500 won coin (apparently that's the recommended amount), but even with half that amount, it pills. I'm not sure how to apply it properly. Plus, it already gives a shine due to its unique glow, so applying more...? 3. Poor value for money The instructions say to use a 500 won coin-sized amount, but given the small volume, it seems like it would run out quickly if used as directed (though it's difficult to apply that much anyway). There are better products available at lower prices... 4. Barely any brightening effect Despite being called a 'tone-up sun serum', it hardly brightens at all. Obviously, there's no coverage. It's purple, but I barely noticed any color-correcting effect. Of course, this could be because I applied less than the recommended amount. I received this product for free and wanted to write a positive review, but I couldn't find much to praise. I've tried to be as factual as possible. Make a wise purchase decision.
TipIt was easier to apply by first putting some on the back of my hand rather than directly on my face.

Among brightening moisturizers with SPF, it's rare to find one that doesn't dry out the skin, but this one stays hydrating even after hours. It definitely evens skin tone and locks in moisture. The texture is so good you can easily spread it with your fingers. When I first used it, I thought, 'Wow, this is great!'
ConsIt pills like dead skin cells. I applied only this product when meeting a friend, and they teased me all day saying it looked like my face was shedding. No matter how well I do my skincare, it still pills. The scent is overpowering, similar to men's skincare, and lingers all day. There must have been an ingredient that didn't agree with me because my face broke out in tiny blemishes.

Cons✔️ The floral scent is quite strong and lingers even after application. Given that many products nowadays have subtle fragrances, even those who aren't usually sensitive to scents might find this off-putting. The fragrance is really disappointing ✔️ The recommended amount is about the size of a 500 won coin, but even a small amount is enough for tone-up, so controlling the quantity is crucial (makes me wonder if it's enough for proper sun protection)
TipRather than applying it all over my face, I focus on areas with more pigmentation like around the lips, or spots I want to brighten
