Pros
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.

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.

Pros
The product has a sufficient moisture content, so it applies smoothly and leaves a refreshing finish. 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.
Cons
The lack of long-lasting tone-up effect was a bit disappointing, but it works well when mixed with other concealers.

Pros
Those with sensitive skin can't even dream of using sunscreen, and are very sensitive to it. But this is too moisturizing! The color is also ivory, so I can just apply this and go to work without needing a cushion or foundation.
Cons
It doesn't last very long. There is a slight feeling of dryness. But even so, it's quite excellent.

Pros
*** I usually write reviews honestly after using the product for at least 1-3 weeks! *** 1. Natural tone-up effect: It brightens the skin tone by one shade without being overpowering, and it applies smoothly as if it were my own skin. It's great to use as a daily makeup base. 2. Fragrance: It's fragrance-free, so it's not burdensome for sensitive noses. 3. Moisturizing finish: Although it's a tone-up sunscreen, it doesn't feel dry and leaves a moisturized finish, so I could use it comfortably even in the winter. 4. Fast absorption: The cream absorbs well into the skin, providing a refreshing and non-sticky feel, so I could apply makeup right after without any issues.
Cons
1. Lack of longevity: The tone-up effect gradually fades over time, so touch-ups may be needed when going out. 2. White cast: If you have darker skin, it may leave a slightly whitish cast. Adjusting the amount applied according to your skin tone is necessary. 3. Burden for oily skin: While the formula is moisturizing, it may become a bit shiny over time for those with oily skin. It's best to finish with powder if you have an oily complexion. - After about 2 hours of wearing it, I started to feel a bit itchy... I'm sorry, but I think I'll be buying a different sunscreen next time. +++ I had given it to my mom as a buy-one-get-one-free, but she found some glass shards in it... I don't think I'll be buying this again.
Tip
Layer it in small amounts!!!! If you apply too much at once to get a stronger tone-up effect, it can result in a white cast. You should layer it in small amounts to build up the effect naturally. The most important thing is to check if it suits your own skin!!!!!

Pros
- Moisture: The lightweight and dewy texture felt great, like applying a serum. It's not too oily or too light, with a nice moisturizing effect. - Color: Unlike the pinkish tone-up sunscreams on the market, this has an ivory-tinted color that looks natural and provides about a half-tone of coverage, making it great for wearing as a bare face. - Cling: There is almost no creasing in wrinkles or pores, and hardly any transfer.
Cons
- Scent: As I applied it, an unusual fishy smell emerged, which was surprising. It does dissipate over time, but was a bit unpleasant during application. - Coverage: The coverage is not strong enough to fully conceal blemishes. - Longevity: The longevity is not very long, so it's good to reapply over time.
Tip
Despite the photo, the product only provides about a half-tone of coverage, so using it with a concealer can create a more natural look.

Pros
It's great for using as a cushion to prevent caking when applying makeup with Mebena! It's moisturizing, has good spreadability, and provides a slight blurring effect.
Cons
It seems to have a tendency to cake and the longevity is not that great.
Tip
Patting it on or using a puff can help minimize caking!

Pros
✅ For mineral sunscreens, I recommend those with 'titanium dioxide' as the active ingredient for those who find it works well for them Comparing it to Numberz's ceramic-like tone-up beige: 1) Ingredient difference Numberz contains 'zinc oxide' / Etude House contains 'titanium dioxide'. I find that zinc-based sunscreens work well for me, and this mineral sunscreen with zinc oxide also suits me well. So while it wasn't as perfect a match as Numberz, it was still better than organic sunscreens for me🥲 2) Easier application Numberz has the typical thick, sticky texture of zinc. If not applied carefully, it can look cakey. But Etude House applies smoothly, almost like a serum, and blends in well. 3) Both have nice shades Etude House is more fluid, so even when applied generously, it doesn't look mask-like and provides a natural tone-up effect. If you have uneven texture or large pores ➡️ Numberz If you have smooth skin ➡️ Etude House If you like zinc ➡️ Numberz If you're okay with either zinc or titanium ➡️ Etude House Want to use it as a makeup base like a dewy sunscreen ➡️ Etude House
Cons
It's fine when I layer foundation on top, but the standalone wear time is not great (It makes my skin look somewhat different, but I'm not fully convinced) It has more oil control issues compared to other mineral sunscreens (The initial glow can be nice, but it can get oily later on)
Tip
Surprisingly, it works well when mixed with lip products to use as a cream blush

Pros
It's a luminous ivory color without any reddish or pinkish tones. As I have a fair complexion, it didn't provide a noticeable brightening effect, but other tone-up creams have sometimes made my skin appear darker, so I'm satisfied that this doesn't darken my skin. The color is a beautiful ivory with a yellow base. The formula is very moisturizing and applies lightly. The natural, subtle glow it adds to my skin is lovely, so it works well even without foundation. When used before foundation, it serves as a nice makeup base and blends seamlessly.
Cons
The coverage is almost non-existent. There is some caking and transfer, so the longevity is disappointing.

Pros
🙋🏻‍♀️ Close to a natural, neutral tone! 👉🏻Texture: Contrary to the concern that the watery texture would be sticky and not absorb well, when applied to the face and patted with the hands, it absorbs quickly! If you don't apply it quickly, it has a fast drying speed. 👉🏻Absorption & Spreadability: Great! When applied with the hands, the spreadability is good, and the absorption is also good. 👉🏻Fragrance: Good that there is no cosmetic fragrance! It's almost fragrance-free. 👉🏻Product Dispenser: The dispenser, or the part where the product comes out, can be used cleanly, which is satisfactory. 👉🏻Good for touch-ups!: Honestly, it doesn't seem like a mineral sunscreen, so I applied my regular mineral sunscreen 2-3 layers first, then topped it with this product. No matter how many layers I built up, with 2-3 layers it didn't feel like it was piling up on the skin, and this product applied lightly and absorbed well, so it was great for touch-ups.
Cons
👉🏻Whitening: At first, it's a bit white, but then it goes back to normal. If the whitening effect doesn't last long, and I want it to stay a bit whiter, I might be disappointed!
Tip
I didn't use it alone, and since the name has 'touch-up' in it, I used it like a touch-up product, applying it on top. The spreadability and absorption are very good, and there is less oil than expected, which I liked. Don't be fooled by the texture - it's more refreshing than you might think, so it could be good for summer too. The photo compares it to the Goodal tone-up product, and the Goodal one has a more fluid texture, but this one absorbs much better!
