Pros
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.

Pros
My skin tone is around #25, but it applies smoothly and thinly without appearing overly pale or washed out.
Cons
However, even though it was a bit greasy, I mixed it with a thick, non-greasy sunscreen, and it was just perfect.

Pros
The formula glides on smoothly and thinly, so you can apply as much as you want without feeling weighed down. Although it's a tone-up product, it gives a natural-looking glow as it evens out your complexion.
Cons
After using it for a while, air gets trapped and blocks the opening, so the product won't come out. You can shake it to unblock the hole before using it. If you don't close the lid tightly, the cream can leak into the cap.

Pros
Even with acne-prone and sensitive skin, there was no irritation or breakouts after use It applies very thinly and the feel is lightweight The product dispenser has a pointed shape, so it can be used hygienically without getting messy when squeezing it out
Cons
I couldn't really tell if it brightened my skin tone The coverage also felt almost non-existent? It emphasized flaky skin a lot, and after just a short while, it felt very oily and greasy, which was uncomfortable In many ways, this product just didn't work for me, so I don't use it anymore...

Pros
Although it's a bit drying, the product itself is really good. There are no skin troubles, just a bit of pores and redness, but it covers them well with a light layering. The texture is also lightweight and it cleanses very well.
Cons
After using it for a while, it suddenly gets clogged and won't come out. I exchanged it once because it got clogged, but even with the new product, it got clogged again, so I just got a refund. It was really a hassle. Seeing the same clogging issue happen twice in a row, it seems like there's a problem with the product's structure.

Pros
The formula glides on smoothly and feels comfortable on dry skin. I was surprised that it didn't transfer onto my mask, even with the recent fine dust. The moisture feels like a thin, even coating. As a dry-skinned person, I'm glad it doesn't break down or look uneven. It blends well with my natural oils without feeling heavy. It's more of a subtle, skincare-like finish rather than a heavy coverage.
Cons
It's a shame the gift set was sold out, so I had to purchase the individual product. But I think I'll continue using it, as it seems like a good fit for me even in the fall and winter seasons.
Tip
It pairs well with my hydrating gel cream, and when I use this and then apply a matte cushion foundation, the skin result is amazing - it looks like I just had a facial treatment.

Pros
This is a dedicated reviewer for the Arctic skin type. The good points are the definitely sufficient coverage, even without foundation or makeup. And the smooth, thin application. The sunscreen function itself is excellent in terms of coverage, so it deserves a big round of applause. The most important oil control is that the T-zone starts to get anxious around 4 hours later, so those who need to retouch their makeup outside are recommended to use a pore-minimizing powder or pressed powder to pat it on.:) And the hygiene of the container opening is good.
Cons
It's called tone-by-tone, but the product's skin tone seems to be quite bright, so you'll need to pay attention to the color match between your neck and face. As a coverage and foundation replacement, it is excellent. The texture is also good. However, for the Arctic skin type, there is a time limit to fully rely on the oil control. The difference may vary from person to person, but even if you apply it on top of a thoroughly oil-absorbing base, it will last at most 3-4 hours. Using this product alone to control oil? Haha.. No, no, no~~ Considering the product name, it is a product to be used for touch-ups or as a light base effect when applying makeup! (Additional+ 04.29.24) There may be personal preferences, but I personally don't use mineral sunscreens for acne and skin care, so I gave it to my sibling who needed it~ I request the development of a mineral sunscreen product dedicated to the Arctic skin type.
Tip
If you just do the basic skincare, thoroughly wipe off the oil, and lightly apply what you need (also oil-free products~), and then apply it, the application is good, so it feels like you just did your face makeup. If you properly take care of the basics and pump it once to make the whole face smooth, you can go out that day without any burden. The tip for the Arctic skin type is to blend it with another sunscreen that really grabs the oil. It's just right. I'm satisfied with the effect.

Pros
The texture is bursting with moisture! The formula is watery and full of moisture. It has a slight sunscreen-like oiliness, but it applies thinly and transparently, with a feel similar to a BB cream layer. The adhesion is also quite good, so it adheres to the skin quickly. It doesn't give an overly brightening effect, but rather a half-tone improvement, naturally filling in blackheads and pores. It's perfect for a no-makeup makeup look!
Cons
The coverage is lower than a BB cream, so it may be insufficient for those who want more coverage. It's recommended to use it before foundation as a moisturizing and skin tone-correcting base, and then apply foundation separately. At first application, those with oily or highly sebaceous skin may find the moisture level excessive. It's recommended for use in the spring, fall, and winter seasons.
Tip
This is a sunscreen that coats the skin with a water-filled, luminous glow! It's perfect when you want to go for a natural, bare-faced look!

Pros
This is a review for sensitive dry skin. The color seems to be really well-matched! My skin has some redness and unevenness, but it helps to even out the overall tone with a beautiful ivory shade. I heard it has good coverage, but since the formula is so thin, it's almost like there's no coverage at all😂 And I usually don't like mineral sunscreens because they can feel hot and sting my eyes, but this one is a hybrid so it's fine! The thin, moisturizing formula applies smoothly without clumping, and after application, there's a lovely glow, but it doesn't feel oily - more like an essence glow. My skin looks great. I also really liked that it doesn't feel stuffy.👍🏻 However, since I have dry skin, the glow doesn't last very long.🥲 Also, the mineral sunscreen is drying (it feels like it's sucking the moisture out of my skin) and I can't use it, and even though this is a hybrid with organic sunscreen, there must still be some mineral components because my skin does feel a bit tight... It's not severe, but since my skin flushes easily even with a little dryness, it was a bit problematic for me.ㅠㅠ The surface looks incredibly dewy, but the inner layers feel a bit tight... But compared to similar products, this is probably one of the less drying ones. The dewy finish works really well for applying a matte foundation or concealer on top, but it did seem to slip a bit, maybe because I applied a bit too much cream. Even so, the coverage was pretty good and the tone looked pretty even despite the peeling.😀 Occasionally, when my skin's exfoliation isn't great, I can feel it catching a bit in the dry patches, but you'd have to look really closely to see it, and there's absolutely no clogging of the pores. I've never found a powder-type tone-up product that I really liked, but the formula and color of this one are nice, and I think it would be a great daily option for someone who just wants to use a bit of concealer for their makeup. I'm currently using a pure mineral sunscreen, and I'm using it well without any irritation, so if it works for me like that, I think this tone-up product would also work well for you.😘
Cons
The surface looks dewy, but there's a bit of inner dryness!!ㅜㅜ

Pros
👍: It's moisturizing!! I'm glad it doesn't look greasy. Since I don't have many blemishes on my skin, foundation feels stuffy and even when using powder, I only apply it thinly. This tone-up cream is great for those who want a makeup-free look! The beige tone looks natural and makes my skin look one shade brighter, so it's a nice and lightweight tone-up sun cream!! 👍: The fragrance is close to unscented, so it's good to use! 👍: The formula isn't thick, it's moisturizing! And it doesn't feel oily after application!! 👍: The nozzle is slightly pointed like a syringe, so the area around the opening doesn't get messy.
Cons
To be honest, I couldn't find any disappointing points even after continuous use ㅠㅠ I love it so much!! I'll repurchase it when I finish this one 💗💗
