As a first-time user of brightening moisturizers, I appreciate how it absorbs well and feels hydrating. I'd recommend this to beginners! The way it evens skin tone seems quite natural.
ConsThere's virtually no coverage, so if you're planning to use this instead of foundation, it's only suitable for those with already flawless complexions! Also, it doesn't last long on the skin, and there's a bit of richness and a white cast.
TipThis product works hard to provide sun protection while evening out your skin tone. It's a great option for those with super sensitive skin looking to start a daily skincare routine. While it may not offer the coverage of a foundation, it can be a good base for layering other products. Remember to patch test first to avoid any potential allergic reactions.

But if you're considering using it before makeup...? It's a bit oily, so that's a slight drawback. However, the tone correction isn't dramatically brightening, it's truly natural-looking. I've been using this just for my neck and arms.
ConsThe main disappointment was how shiny it made my skin. Also, there's a slight tendency for it to pill.

ConsThe moment your hands touch your face or you rub it even slightly, it starts pilling immediately. It flakes off and becomes a mess. After just an hour, it's already worn off around the nose and caking up. Even with a thorough skincare routine beforehand, it lifts off the skin after a short while. Applying powder helps somewhat. Right after application, it feels very rich, but a few hours after powdering, it starts to feel tight. Looking in the mirror, you'll see it's dried out and flaking around the smile lines, mouth, and chin areas. You can't apply too much because even a small amount makes your skin look overly pale. To prevent irritation, you need to apply another sunscreen first before using this product.
TipThis product seems to have issues with longevity and compatibility with skin. While it initially provides a brightening effect, its tendency to pill, flake, and dry out the skin over time is problematic. The extreme whitening effect also limits its usability. For those with sensitive or combination dehydrated skin, it might be particularly challenging to use. Consider layering it with other products or using it sparingly for better results.

Consthere may be some oiliness, so it might be a good idea for those of us with sensitive skin like myself to consider it a bit

ConsFor someone with extremely oily skin like me, it felt a bit rich. I'd recommend this for combination or dry skin types.

The natural brightening effect is fantastic! When I first tested it on the back of my hand, I thought, 'Wow, it's not as intense as I expected!' I was worried because many brightening moisturizers these days leave a white cast, but this one instantly creates a clear, radiant complexion that's perfect for no-makeup days! 2. It's not heavy and is rich in hydration. The name 'Hydrating Brightening Moisturizer' isn't just for show! It's moisturizing with great adherence, so I could use it comfortably even in summer without feeling stuffy. It finishes with a soft, powdery feel while keeping the skin hydrated underneath - like a double moisture barrier. 3. Minimal white cast + Even application. Despite its white formula, it applies smoothly without pilling or clumping. Even with multiple layers, it doesn't streak or look patchy, refining skin texture, so it's great to use before makeup. The minimal white cast means my boyfriend and family members can use it without hesitation too. 4. The subtle rice scent is pleasant. It's not a strong artificial fragrance, so it's fine to use even on sensitive days. The pure, rice water-like scent when applying is subtly healing! 5. Excellent value for money! With this quality at such a reasonable price, I keep repurchasing. It's often on sale at Olive Young, so I highly recommend it as an entry-level product for those trying brightening moisturizers for the first time!
Cons1. Oily skin types might feel a slight richness. While the hydration is a plus, combination or oily skin types might experience some shine in the T-zone, especially in summer. I tend to get a bit oily on my forehead, and noticed a slight glow after some time. It's best to set it with powder. 2. There's some transfer onto masks. Being a brightening product, it's somewhat unavoidable, but it does transfer slightly to the inside of masks. This was a bit concerning on days with long outings. However, the amount of transfer wasn't excessive! 3. The sun protection factor isn't extremely high (SPF50+ PA+++). While it's sufficient for daily use, it felt a bit lacking for extended outdoor activities in midsummer. In such cases, it might be better to reapply frequently or use it in combination with a sunstick.
Tip1. Great as a 'brightening moisturizer + sunscreen' for no-makeup days! Lately, I often can't be bothered with heavy makeup, and this product alone makes my skin look vibrant. It gives a radiant complexion while protecting from UV rays, making it perfect for a 'bare face makeup' look. 2. Using it as a base before makeup enhances radiance. When my complexion looks a bit dull, applying this sunscreen thinly before foundation or cushion definitely makes my face look brighter. It also provides some staying power, making base products adhere better! 3. Layering thinly multiple times gives a prettier finish. Applying too much at once might cause it to sit on the skin, so layering small amounts thinly multiple times enhances skin texture and adherence. The key was to lightly add a bit more around the nose and chin! 4. It's best to apply right after skincare. Applying it when the skin is well-moisturized from skincare steps improves adherence and reduces patchiness. I found it looked best when I applied it after essence and a light emulsion.

It's great for prepping the skin before applying cushion foundation. I'd recommend this for combination or oily skin types.
ConsWhile it absorbs well and feels moisturizing, there's a slightly rich feeling that might not be ideal for spring or summer use.

This product gives me just the right amount of brightening I want! It applies moisturizing and doesn't clump or leave a white cast, so I can easily swipe it on without any fuss. However, it doesn't seem to control oil, so if you moisturize well, you might notice some oiliness in the afternoon. If you're looking for a decent brightening moisturizer with SPF, this one offers great value for money and I really liked it!
ConsIt gets a bit oily in the afternoon, so you might want to apply some powder initially or blot away the excess oil and reapply.

First off, it seems to brighten my skin tone well. When I applied it before going to school, my friends were surprised at how fair I looked! It makes my skin appear healthier. The quantity is generous, so I've been using it in small portions.
ConsIt feels quite rich and a bit sticky, so powder is a must... The staying power isn't great either. I'm not confident about how well it cleanses, so I've been double cleansing - is that right? When I apply it to my body, it pills everywhere. Ugh!

ConsThere's not really anything to complain about, though it does feel a bit rich on the skin.
