This is a truly gentle brightening moisturizer that even those with super sensitive skin can use comfortably. It provides a natural, non-chalky complexion enhancement! It's perfect for daily use, and because it doesn't irritate the skin, I could use it without worry even when I had blemishes. Of course, it didn't cause any irritation for sensitive skin types. The texture feels like a hydrating cream and emulsion combined, making it incredibly mild and easy to spread smoothly.
Cons
The staying power isn't particularly long-lasting, so on days when you sweat a lot, you might need to touch up.
Tip
On bare-face days, applying just this one product made my skin texture look flawless, so for a while, I went out wearing only this.

I bought shade 22-23 for dry skin and as a foundation-free option. Applied after skincare and organic physical sunscreen. It spreads incredibly thinly, feels super hydrating, and the glow is no joke (powder needed). Covers blackheads and small red blemishes. No darkening. Super easy to apply with fingers. The color is a natural, bright ivory that looks fresh. The thin texture contributes to its natural look. Even with my dry skin routine (toner, ampoule, cream, and organic physical sunscreen), there's no pilling. No lifting, caking, or cracking even at night, and it controls oil well. Pairs nicely with glow blush. The 40ml size lasts surprisingly long. I use about two pea-sized amounts of this smooth, spreadable formula. I've tried It's Skin foundation-free, Dr.G tone-up, Numbuzin Porcelain, and this is top-tier along with It's Skin.
Cons
If I had to point out downsides, the coverage is a bit low and I wish it evened out the skin tone more. Concealer is needed for dark circles and lip discoloration. But these drawbacks come from its thin application, which is actually a plus, so it's manageable.
Tip
Since it applies thinly for a sunscreen, I recommend using your hands rather than a puff. Use the wide part of your fingers to pat it onto your face, then gently tap all over. You'll end up with a thin, adhered glowy complexion! Applying with hands seems to enhance the glow even more.

It applies smoothly and doesn't irritate my eyes. Plus, it nicely evens out my complexion, which I love.
Cons
It's incredibly greasy, like an oil bomb on your face! And to make matters worse, it causes blemishes to appear.

It's soft and moisturizing. Even with my combination dehydrated and sensitive skin, there's no eye irritation and it feels comfortable.
Cons
I experienced a slight tingling sensation and was disappointed with its staying power.

I tried a sample, but the coverage was really lacking and it made my skin look greasy... It was truly disappointing. The only positive was that it felt moisturizing, I guess?
Cons
It makes skin look oily, wears off quickly, and has poor coverage... When removing it, it comes off in a messy way too.

I've been using this for about six months, and despite having sensitive skin, I've experienced no tingling or itching at all. It's become my essential go-to product that I always apply before heading out.
Cons
There's nothing to complain about. It suits me so well that I'm thoroughly enjoying using it.

My skin type is combination dehydrated, mixed, sensitive, prone to blemishes, blackheads, and visible pores. I have a 19-light 21 shade with a deep undertone. This product offers a natural brightening effect with minimal coverage (practically none). The ingredients seem decent! If you don't need much coverage, have naturally good skin, and want a sunscreen that provides a subtle glow, go for it. Recommended for dry skin, but not advised for combination, oily, or combination dehydrated skin types.
Cons
It's excessively rich and causes extreme oiliness. After applying this and then using the Hera Glow Cushion, my skin became incredibly greasy. To give you an idea of how bad it is, I need to apply powder every 2-3 hours without fail.

It absorbs smoothly and the texture is wonderfully hydrating. It gives a beautiful glossy finish.
Cons
It's a bit too glossy, so when the weather gets warmer, it tends to wear off easily. That's a bit disappointing.
Tip
Make sure to establish a solid skincare routine and apply two layers of sunscreen.

I'm not sure about the brightening effect, but overall it provides a slight improvement in skin clarity with minimal coverage!
Cons
There's nothing particularly bad about it! It's clean and nice, though I've only tried 2-3 sunscreens with coverage. It's just generally good in an unremarkable way! However, if you're expecting significant brightening or coverage, you might be disappointed.

I tried the sample and ended up purchasing the product! Normally when I apply sunscreen, my makeup tends to slide a bit, but that didn't happen with this one! 🩷 The fragrance is not too strong! 🩷 The fluid texture provides good spreadability! 🩷 The price is reasonable! Personally, when I apply this and do my makeup, my skin looks like it's well-expressed. It doesn't give a matte finish, but rather a dewy, glowing skin expression that suits me well!
Cons
If you're looking for coverage, it may be disappointing! I think it may not be suitable for intellectuals to use!
