Cons- Unnatural and artificial rose scent (a struggle every time I apply it) - The packaging sometimes causes the product to spray in odd directions when pumping
TipIt's really great for applying on the neck! It doesn't settle into neck wrinkles and looks more natural than foundation. The good ingredients seem to be gradually improving elasticity and reducing the appearance of wrinkles. I comfortably apply it as a makeup base, including on my neck.

That's why I've always been particular about evening my skin tone when applying makeup. I'm grateful for this opportunity to try this product! The texture is moisturizing and adheres well to the skin. After application, it feels like it sets to a matte finish. If your base skincare is too light, it might feel a bit tight. I usually use hydrating products like Hwa Jal Muk Emulsion in my skincare routine, so even with my combination dehydrated skin, I didn't experience any flaking or caking. These days, my routine is simple: sunscreen, this brightening moisturizer, and a thin layer of BB cream only on areas with redness. I commute to work with just this. It definitely brightens more than other products I've tried. At first, I thought, 'Whoa, is this too white?' But after 30 minutes to an hour, it looks more natural. I even use it for touch-ups at work, as my skin tends to darken throughout the day. When touching up, there's no pilling or flaking, probably due to its moisturizing formula. Despite my acne-prone skin, this product felt gentle. I heard it contains 14 types of peptides - maybe that's why? Using this didn't cause any breakouts.
ConsThe strong chemical scent makes me worry if it might be harmful to my skin.
TipI recommend starting with a small amount for one thin layer, then adding another light layer only on areas where you want more brightening. This prevents over-whitening from the start.

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 emulsion-like texture makes it easy to apply. There's no heavy feeling after application, and I didn't experience any blemishes! It feels like they've really paid attention to the ingredients. I'd recommend this to those who prefer a natural makeup look. I used it well to match my neck tone after applying makeup (since I don't like putting foundation on my neck).
ConsHowever, the scent... the scent is really unpleasant. If I had to describe it, it's like a paint smell... I was shocked when I first smelled it. I'd only recommend this to people who really don't mind strong scents. I thought I wasn't sensitive to smells, but turns out I am... The scent makes me hesitant to use it. Also, when pumping the product out, sometimes a large amount comes out at once, which is a bit inconvenient.
TipThe brightening effect is better than expected, so I recommend applying it gradually to achieve your desired complexion. It's truly great for matching your neck and face color after makeup application.

It's perfect for the neck area, with just the right amount of brightening and staying power! It's also wonderfully hydrating when used as a makeup base. The brightening effect is actually more noticeable than what's shown in the photos.
ConsThe scent is overwhelmingly floral, like a strong cosmetic fragrance that hits you right away, which I didn't like. When applied alone, after a while it tends to settle into fine lines quite noticeably, and it also leaves a white cast along the hairline.
TipApply in this order: skincare, sunscreen, brightening moisturizer, then foundation or cushion. Be careful to avoid the hairline area when applying.

You really need to apply just a tiny amount! At first, I didn't know and used my usual amount, which made it feel like it was sitting on top of my skin. But when I followed the instructions and used a pea-sized amount, it applied naturally and smoothly. It doesn't make you look too bright, and it applies evenly. Even if you layer it, it feels light. Since it's a brightening moisturizer, it doesn't provide coverage. It gives a feeling of refining your skin texture! I haven't tried heavy makeup yet, so I'll need to use it more to comment on its coverage, but the way it absorbs is really great. As it's a product that also provides skincare benefits, it applies smoothly like an emulsion or a light cream. It doesn't irritate the skin, and there's hardly any breakdown even after some time. After application, it seems to make the skin feel powdery, so it might be good for those with combination dehydrated skin or oily skin!
ConsWhen I first tried to use it, the pump didn't work well, and I thought it was defective. You really have to keep pressing for the product to come out, and the pumping is a bit disappointing every time you use it. The scent does fade, but it has an alcohol-like smell that might be hit or miss for some people.

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. 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.ProsBefore writing this review, I want to disclose that I was selected as a Hwahae Tester and received the product for review. I promise to write an honest review, and to ensure accuracy, I've been taking notes after each use and am basing this review on those notes. 1. Natural brightening with just a small amount: Unlike some brightening moisturizers that can make you look unnaturally white, this product allows for a natural-looking complexion when applied in moderation. It's perfect for those days when you don't want to wear foundation but still want to even out your skin tone. No more floating face effect! 2. Excellent makeup base: I primarily used this as a makeup base, applying a thin layer before foundation. It has a hydrating quality that prevented my skin from ever feeling dry. Using this as a base definitely made my skin look more flawless when I applied foundation on top. 3. Moisturizing: While I haven't tried many makeup bases, this one didn't leave my skin feeling tight or dry after application. In fact, it felt quite hydrating. When applied after my skincare routine, it created a smooth canvas for foundation to blend seamlessly.
Cons1. The fragrance: When I first used the product, I noticed a strong artificial cosmetic scent, which I personally didn't enjoy. 2. Difficult to control the amount: Because it's a pump-type container, it can be challenging to dispense just the right amount. This might be particularly tricky for those who plan to use it as a makeup base rather than on its own.
TipPro tip 1: Shake well before first use As mentioned in the instructions, when you first open the product, make sure to shake it thoroughly to prevent ingredient separation. Give it a good 20-30 shakes before your initial use! Pro tip 2: Apply to your neck for a more natural look As the weather warms up and we start wearing lighter clothing, the difference between your face and neck might become more noticeable. Since this product provides a natural brightening effect, applying it to your neck can help create a seamless transition and match your face to your neck tone perfectly.

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. 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.Pros- Skin type: Combination dehydrated skin (severe deep dryness), atopic sensitive skin. My skin is so sensitive that if I use the wrong cleansing product, it becomes intensely itchy and can flare up suddenly. - Texture & application: It has a thin consistency and spreads smoothly on the skin. - Finish: Leaves the skin feeling moisturized. - When applied properly in the right amount, it naturally brightens the complexion by one shade, which is great!
ConsIf you can't control the amount, it can clump. When applied to skin that's not in good condition, it severely emphasizes dead skin cells. The scent might be divisive - it smells like cosmetics or powder, which I personally dislike. While the finish looks dewy, my skin doesn't actually feel hydrated, it just appears shiny on the surface. (Given it's the changing season, I feel like if I went out like this, all the yellow dust and fine dust would stick to my face...)
TipTry using a pea-sized amount and blend well. Make sure to exfoliate before application, and finish with a light dusting of powder. That should work better!

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. 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.Pros* Application & Texture - A small amount is enough for overall brightening. - Spreads well with fingers. When used as a brightening moisturizer base, it helps makeup last longer. * Scent - Strong medicinal scent might be off-putting for some. * Packaging - Initially, it's hard to dispense even after multiple pumps, then suddenly a lot comes out! Be careful when using it for the first time. * Product Advantages - No sun protection This could be seen as both a pro and a con. It's great for achieving that 'no-makeup' look in front of your boyfriend! Unlike brightening moisturizers with SPF that require double cleansing, this one's perfect for a natural look at home. - Natural brightening effect The biggest advantage is its ability to naturally brighten areas with different complexions like face, neck, back of hands, and palms! I used it on my relatively darker neck and hands to fake an overall fair complexion.
Cons- The strong medicinal scent is off-putting. - Lacks sun protection. Need to apply sunscreen separately from the brightening moisturizer. - Adds an extra step to makeup routine. After skincare (toner, essence, emulsion) and sunscreen, you need to apply this 'brightening moisturizer' before foundation or cushion. - It's a choice between adding a step for better brightening or opting for a brightening sunscreen to simplify. I prefer the latter. Is it worth spending twice as much and complicating your routine?
Tip- For optimal brightening: Use a pea-sized amount > Dab it on one finger > Spread it widely over the area with your hands > Then use a damp puff to evenly distribute. This method ensures even application with minimal product!

It's perfect for my skin with redness. At first, I thought it might be too white, but after a few minutes, my complexion looked naturally radiant as if I've always had great skin.
ConsThe scent is a bit artificial. Also, the price is a bit steep, which is somewhat disappointing. As time passes, it feels slightly dry, but I think that's due to my skin type.
TipIt works great as a makeup base, and it's perfect for a natural tone-up when you're not comfortable going bare-faced! Make sure to apply it over a solid skincare routine.

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.ProsContains UV protection ingredients, although SPF rating is not specified. Blends naturally with skin tone without leaving a stark white cast. Has a smooth application with a consistency that prevents dripping. Rich in skin-regenerating ingredients. EWG grade 1 and free from allergens, making it gentle enough for sensitive skin.
ConsCan pill if applied too heavily (recommended to use small amounts as per instructions). The scent is reminiscent of old-fashioned cosmetics, which may be disappointing. The color is a bit underwhelming (doesn't provide a pink-toned brightening effect).
