Pros
This tone-up sun cream really provides a natural-looking glow. Among tone-up sun creams, it's rare to find one that gives such a clear and beautiful radiant finish. I really like it!!
Cons
This seems to be due to my negligence, but my skin is flaking up and it's peeling off like poop.

Pros
It applies like a creamy foundation It covers shallow blemishes and makes the skin tone look more even It has a different feel from the whitening effect, giving a polished beige tone
Cons
Although it's called a color correcting cream, I'm not sure if it actually helps with color correction If you apply more, it causes the previous layer to shift

Pros
I bought it after seeing the packaging design. It's pretty and hygienic👍🏻❤️ It applies well. It's a cherished memory, haha.
Cons
The memories should have been left in the past... Compared to the sunscreen I used before, it's a bit oily and shiny. In the summer, I'm not sure... Over time, the oil content disappears as it gets absorbed, but there's a slight greasy feeling? I think I'll have to go back to the sunscreen I used before. And the price has gone up quite a bit compared to the previous Etude House one, wow. After using it for about 2 weeks, additional review: It's really a pain - greyish tint + greasy feeling + doesn't get absorbed + sticks to hair I want to throw it away.
Tip
It's good for daily use though, haha. I recommend it for dry skin types. + Don't buy it, save your money

Pros
As someone who has been using the original sunscreen for several bottles, I was happy to see the tinted version come out! The texture, formula, and scent were similar to the original, which I liked. The smooth application was especially nice. The ingredients were also good, so I could apply it in the morning and not worry about feeling stuffy or getting blemishes even by the evening. The breakdown also seemed natural along with the oil.
Cons
The positioning is ambiguous. As someone who mainly uses the original sunscreen and makeup, adding the tinted sunscreen as a base layer just made my makeup feel more suffocating. But just using the tinted sunscreen alone doesn't provide enough coverage. Oh, and if I try to apply it generously like the original sunscreen, the makeup ends up sliding or clumping!
Tip
I think you'll need to be careful with the application amount. Let's try applying it thinly, starting from the cheek area.

Pros
It seems to be a decent tinted sunscreen. It applies smoothly and softly. The formula is a bit unusual - when you squeeze it out, it's skin-colored like a BB cream, but when you gently spread it with your hands, it becomes transparent and your skin shows through. Since it's skin-colored, it doesn't leave a whitish cast and doesn't completely cover your natural skin tone, which I thought was a good thing. After applying, it doesn't feel sticky at all and is moisturizing, but visually there is a slight oily-looking sheen.
Cons
It applies well, but sometimes it clumps or streaks. If you rub it in more, it evens out, but it's more noticeable if you haven't prepared the skin properly. The formula is nicely transparent and hydrating, but when actually applied to the face, the transparency means it doesn't spread evenly and leaves an uneven, splotchy look. As a tinted sunscreen, you have to apply a good amount to get adequate sun protection, but that can make your face look overly whitened. It doesn't just leave a white cast, but really brightens the skin tone, so there's a noticeable difference between your face and neck. And it stings the eyes a bit! For oily skin types, the longevity might also be a bit lacking. I'm on the oilier side, and by the evening, my forehead had gotten a bit shiny when I only applied it in the morning without touching up. The cleansing also feels a bit incomplete with just one wash, so double cleansing is recommended.
Tip
It's not exactly oily, but there's a bit of a shiny, glowy look, so powder touch-ups are a must.

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
✅️Summary It doesn't get streaky or cakey, but naturally brightens the skin tone. However, it is weak against oil and moisture, so it is recommended for dry to combination skin types in spring/fall. [Highly recommended for afternoon touch-ups ✔️Texture/Application The texture is like a thin pudding~soothing gel. These types of textures are often sticky when first applied, and become drier and more streaky as you rub them in, but this product glides on smoothly and sets dewy. I was worried it would be streaky just by looking at the texture, but I was pleasantly surprised by how well it applied. ✔️Brightening/Coverage/Longevity The brightening effect is just right, bringing the skin tone to a lovely pink-based ivory. For my skin tone (cool-toned #17), the color was neither too light nor too dark, and for #21 it also brightened the skin nicely. The set color is reminiscent of the Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation. The coverage is close to zero. The longevity is not great, as I'll explain in more detail below. ✔️When Layered The true value of this product is when layered or used for touch-ups. It can be applied over makeup or sunscreen without caking or streaking, and the non-tacky texture leaves a smooth, dewy finish on the skin.
Cons
👎Weak against water and sweat. Likely to prevent streaking and caking, but it immediately wipes off when it comes into contact with water. Similarly, as soon as oil comes through in the afternoon, it starts to look patchy and fades. So if using it as a foundation primer, powder application or touch-ups are absolutely necessary. 👎Impossible to apply the proper amount of sunscreen. Personally, I like to apply the proper amount of sunscreen (about a fingertip length to a finger and a half), but this product makes that impossible. The product name 'Touch-up Sunscreen' suggests it's more suitable for touch-ups. Despite this, I gave it 5 stars because 1. There was no streaking or caking with the gel-like texture, 2. It excels at touch-ups, and 3. The color payoff is nicely brightening.
Tip
Try using it for touch-ups. It applies smoothly without streaking and leaves a flawless, dewy finish on the skin.

Pros
I would like to repurchase this product! Before using this product, I was using the Cellpion C Laser Sun Screen 100. 1. Spreadability ❤️❤️❤️❤️ It spreads very smoothly, similar to applying a serum! It's somewhere between a toner and a serum, but since it's a bit thin, you'll need to spend a little more time spreading it evenly with your hands. Using a sponge for the finishing touch will make the application quick and flawless! 2. Color ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ The color is so beautiful. It enhances my skin tone naturally. At first, I was like 'Huh? Is it actually brightening my skin?' but once I've applied it all over, the tone-up effect is visible. 3. Dryness There was almost no dryness! I usually get frustrated with sunscreens because of the drying effect, but aside from a slight tightness in the evening, I didn't really feel any significant dryness. 4. Eye Irritation There was no eye irritation either! However, be careful as it can still make your eyes tear up if it gets into your eyes. 5. Perfect for Makeup-Free Look This sunscreen works great on its own - just add a quick brow pencil, and you'll have a polished, put-together look. Even without any makeup, it leaves a nice, refined finish.
Cons
If I had to point out some downsides, 1. Oily Feeling At first, it does have a bit of an oily feel. But it becomes more matte over time. Those with oily skin might be a bit hesitant to use this alone in the summer, but a light dusting of powder can easily fix that. 2. Too Much Application Of course, if you apply too much, it will start to pill. The color makes it more visible, so be sure to use just the right amount.
Tip
Sponge!! Use a sponge to finish it off!!! Patting it with your fingers works too, but a sponge is the best, especially when you're in a hurry. Smooth~

Pros
The great thing about this product is that it's good for your skin and you can just apply it and go, as it's free of foundation.
Cons
I had high hopes for the blue-capped sun cream since I won it, but unfortunately it wasn't a good fit for me. The scent was quite unpleasant to me, and even though it fades after a while, I could still catch whiffs of it occasionally. Also, it didn't feel very moisturizing when applied, rather a bit stiff, and it had a tendency to slide around a bit. I tried using different skincare products as a base, but no matter what I did, it just didn't work well with my skin. It was really disappointing.

Pros
When applied like a moisturizing lotion, it spreads on smoothly and moisturizes well. Since it's not a pink-toned product, it doesn't make me look too pale, and the natural tone-up effect was great. It seems to provide light coverage as well, and even after wearing a mask constantly since the COVID-19 outbreak, there was no noticeable fading or mask transfer. (I've also been hiking.) As someone with sensitive, dry skin prone to oiliness, I used this product along with my usual moisturizer (Avène Cicalfate), and it didn't cause any breakouts or the stinging sensation that can sometimes come with sunscreen. It seems to be a versatile product that can be used without any issues.
Cons
Depending on the base products used, there may be some pilling or clumping.
