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.
ConsIf 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.
TipSince 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.

ConsI experienced a slight tingling sensation and was disappointed with its staying power.

It was truly disappointing. The only positive was that it felt moisturizing, I guess?
ConsIt makes skin look oily, wears off quickly, and has poor coverage... When removing it, it comes off in a messy way too.

It gives a beautiful glossy finish.
ConsIt's a bit too glossy, so when the weather gets warmer, it tends to wear off easily. That's a bit disappointing.
TipMake sure to establish a solid skincare routine and apply two layers of sunscreen.

I love how it evens out my skin tone.
ConsIt doesn't provide dramatic coverage. The thin consistency might make those with oily skin feel a bit greasy.
TipI layer this over another sunscreen. For areas needing more coverage, I use a liquid concealer for spot treatment. Finishing with a powder to control oil, it's surprisingly long-lasting and lightweight even in midsummer.

It's moisturizing like a lotion, easy to apply, and has a tone-up function like foundation, so I just apply this one product and go out with a bare face! It's not an extremely high-coverage sunscreen, but I didn't have any issues with it since I didn't experience any troubles. Since it's a sunscreen made by Director Pai, the ingredients are good, the price is affordable, it doesn't leave a white cast, and I really like it.
ConsThere's nothing in particular. Hihihi Everything is good, good ♡ ♥ I'll repurchase it.

The formula is a beige-toned sunscreen that does not cause eye irritation. Even though my skin is sensitive, using this product does not cause any additional breakouts or troubles. The fragrance is barely noticeable (almost unscented). It provides a natural-looking tone-up effect, making it very suitable for everyday use. It works well as a base for makeup application.
ConsThe lack of long-lasting tone-up effect was a bit disappointing, but it works well when mixed with other concealers.

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.ProsI don't usually wear a lot of makeup, but when a makeup-free sunscreen comes out, I buy and try one. The application is good, and among the makeup-free products, it comes out quite moisturizing, so it seems to be relatively comfortable to use for dry skin. Over time, it slightly fades away and blends well with the original skin tone, so it seems to be a tinted sunscreen without much burden. The product opening is elongated, and I felt it was easy to use neatly. Depending on the skin condition, there are days when it wears well like foundation, and there are days when it gets messy, but as a makeup-free product, it seems to be okay to this extent...😶
ConsI'm not sure if it's just me, but every time I apply it sincerely, a fecal-like odor seems to rise up... When I just squeeze it and smell it, there's no odor, but the moment I roll it on my face, some kind of stench gradually comes up, and I almost thought the product had gone bad and wanted to throw it away, but when I apply it, there's no trouble on my face, so I still use it occasionally. And if I apply just the right amount, it gives a nice tone-up effect without looking cakey, but if I apply it generously like usual, I end up looking like a fried egg ghost, yikes. Lastly, on days when my skin condition is poor, it just crumbles much more messily than foundation, and I have the urge to just go home right away... On days when my skin condition is good, it's fine though.
TipI was thinking of applying it with a puff, as it's similar to foundation, but I think just spreading it with my hands was the right choice. It turns out to have good spreadability. When using it, it seems important to apply the right amount and spread it evenly.
