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.
ConsThe staying power isn't particularly long-lasting, so on days when you sweat a lot, you might need to touch up.
TipOn bare-face days, applying just this one product made my skin texture look flawless, so for a while, I went out wearing only this.

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.

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

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.
ConsIt'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.

ConsThe smell is very strong, like feces. This product washes off easily, but it should be used in the winter as it gets removed by sweat. There is a bit of darkening, so it may be fine for those who are not very sensitive to darkening. Over time it becomes dry, but the oiliness returns. There is some wrinkling and creasing.
TipI've used this product throughout the seasons. You can use it in the winter after using it in the summer. I waited for winter because I found that it faded in the peak of summer, but it's perfect for winter! If you use a tone-up sun cream first and then this product, it will apply more brightly and adhere better (I use the Dr. G tone-up one, and then this one on top!). When doing makeup, I apply this product first, and then foundation on top, and it adheres really well.

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.ProsThe 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.
ConsThe lack of long-lasting tone-up effect was a bit disappointing, but it works well when mixed with other concealers.

ConsMy eyes are so sore. I applied this and cried at work. Even after coming home, washing up, and going to bed immediately, my eyes were still swollen and puffy. Definitely not recommended for people with sensitive eyes.
TipI'll apply a different sunscreen around my eyes, and only use this one on other areas. It would be a shame to waste it.

The lovely ivory tone is great for a foundation-free product!!ㅎㅎ
ConsSometimes, if you apply it to a face where dead skin has not been removed, it can make it stand out :(

I just slapped it on with my hands and it brightened my skin naturally, which I liked!
ConsThere are no issues yet, but a slight puffiness has appeared near my eyes, causing a bit of discomfort. It's probably due to my makeup skills or facial structure...?

Gentle, mild ingredients - It is mineral-based, so it can be used without burden even on sensitive skin. It is gentle as it contains no fragrance, alcohol, or pigments. 2. Natural tone-up effect - It evens out the skin tone naturally without making the skin look overly bright. It applies well on bare skin. 3. Moisturizing finish - It does not dry out or feel heavy, and the deep hydration is maintained, making it suitable for dry skin as well. 4. Optimal for touch-ups - It blends in seamlessly without caking or creasing, so it can be reapplied over makeup easily. 5. Convenient portable size - The slim tube type fits easily into a bag, allowing for convenient touch-ups anytime, anywhere.
Cons1. May appear slightly shiny on oily skin - the moisturizing formula can feel greasy over time. 2. Not full coverage - it evens out the skin tone but has difficulty covering blemishes. It only refines the skin texture. 3. Average wear time - for extended outdoor activities, it needs to be reapplied multiple times to maintain the effect.
Tip✨ Usage Tips ✔ Use for touch-ups - Layering thinly over makeup can create a radiant skin expression. ✔ If oil control is needed - For oily skin, lightly dusting with powder at the end can make it look more polished. ✔ Layer thinly multiple times - Applying too much at once can cause clumping, so it's better to layer thinly multiple times. ✔ Overall Evaluation Highly recommended for sensitive & dry skin due to the mild ingredients and natural tone-up effect! However, for oily skin, it may feel a bit greasy, so it's best to use it with powder. This product is perfect for use as a touch-up sunscreen!
