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.

The staying power isn't particularly long-lasting, so on days when you sweat a lot, you might need to touch up.

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.

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.

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.

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.

It's incredibly greasy, like an oil bomb on your face! And to make matters worse, it causes blemishes to appear.

It applies smoothly and doesn't irritate my eyes. Plus, it nicely evens out my complexion, which I love.

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

It's soft and moisturizing. Even with my combination dehydrated and sensitive skin, there's no eye irritation and it feels comfortable.

It makes skin look oily, wears off quickly, and has poor coverage... When removing it, it comes off in a messy way too.

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?

There's nothing to complain about. It suits me so well that I'm thoroughly enjoying using it.

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.

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.

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.

Make sure to establish a solid skincare routine and apply two layers of sunscreen.

It's a bit too glossy, so when the weather gets warmer, it tends to wear off easily. That's a bit disappointing.

It absorbs smoothly and the texture is wonderfully hydrating. It gives a beautiful glossy finish.

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'm not sure about the brightening effect, but overall it provides a slight improvement in skin clarity with minimal coverage!

If you're looking for coverage, you might be disappointed! 
I think it might not be suitable for those with oily skin!

I tried this product as a sample and ended up purchasing it! Usually, when I apply sunscreen, there's a bit of pilling when I put on makeup, but not with this one! 
Love that the scent isn't overpowering! 
The lightweight texture absorbs well! 
The price is reasonable! 

Personally, I find that my makeup looks better when I use this as a base! 
It doesn't make my skin look matte when I apply makeup, which suits me well. I think it gives a nice dewy finish!

Since it's quite moisturizing, it would be good for dry skin or spring/fall use.
The skin glow it provides is nice.
I'd also recommend using it before makeup application!

The downside is that although it has the 'makeup base' claim, the coverage doesn't seem to be that high. 
Having tried the Plant Base sun cushion and the IASO tone-up sunscreen, I don't necessarily need such high coverage, but this is just a natural brightening effect.
If you're looking for it as a makeup base, it might not be enough.

I was already using a tone-up sunscreen as a makeup base, so I was curious about the Etude House tone-up product.
It has a very thin and moisturizing texture, which makes my skin look bright and radiant.
It also doesn't have the typical sunscreen scent, and the elongated bottle opening makes it easy to dispense directly onto the skin.

The tone-up effect seems a bit weak. The brightening effect is not as noticeable as I would like.

I usually use a tone-up cream, but it makes my skin dry and emphasizes flakiness. However, this product keeps my skin moisturized when I apply it, and the flakiness doesn't show up over time. Even though I have very dry skin, I didn't feel any dryness, and I didn't have any breakouts. It evens out my skin tone naturally, but the tone-up effect doesn't seem to be very strong.
