It has a moisturizing and smooth application.
ConsInflammatory acne exploded. When I only apply a tone-up cream, inflammatory acne explodes, and this product is no exception - it also exploded (Cosrx / Goodal = acne explosion) + the scent is too strong. Although they say the ingredients are good, I have doubts about whether it is a good product since it contains silicone ingredients that cause acne explosions, and they just added a few good ingredients. Moreover, among the above 3 acne explosion products, this one has the worst skin expression durability. If it's going to explode, it should at least be perfect... The delivery is also very slow, so I don't recommend it.

I wanted to try a new tone-up cream, so I looked at the top-rated products from the Hwahae Awards and decided to buy this one based on the great reviews. And it was a total steal! It has a light foundation-like feel, and the tone-up effect is very natural - it makes my skin look so healthy and smooth, and it covers blemishes and pores really well! But if I use just a little, the effect is quite subtle, so I need to apply a bit more, about the size of a bean. So for me, it's more like a light foundation than a whitening cream. My skin looks amazing, and even with my super sensitive skin, it doesn't cause any breakouts. The ingredients are great, so I definitely plan to keep using this product. For those who find foundation too heavy, this could be a great alternative!
ConsThere were some reviews saying the scent is strong, and I have to agree - it has a bit of a paint-like smell. But since it's not an artificial fragrance, I'm taking that as a positive. Also, you have to shake it every time you use it, which is a bit of an arm workout!
TipShaking it a lot and using it regularly is really worth it, though. After a while, you don't even need to shake it as much anymore. And the coverage is great, so I like to use it as a base and then apply foundation on top for an extra polished look.

I've had acne since high school, and the fact that my face is a shade darker than my neck has been a source of stress for me. That's why I'm very careful about using tone-up products when I put on makeup. Luckily, I had a good opportunity to apply for this, and I'm grateful for it. The formula applies smoothly and adheres well. After application, it has a slightly matte finish. So if I previously did my base makeup too lightly, it could look a bit patchy. But since I usually use a hydrating lotion for my base, my oily skin didn't feel dry or cakey, even with this product. These days, I just apply sunscreen, then this tone-up cream, and just a thin layer on the areas with redness. Compared to other products, the tone-up effect is quite noticeable. At first, I thought it might be too white, but after 30 minutes to an hour, it looks more natural. Even at work, I only need to do minor touch-ups with this product, as it doesn't cake or flake. And despite my acne-prone skin, this felt comfortable to use. I think the 14 peptide ingredients might be the reason why. I didn't experience any new breakouts from using this.
ConsThe strong chemical scent is a bit concerning, and it makes me wonder if it might be harmful to my skin. I can't help but worry about that aspect of the product.
TipI would recommend starting with a small amount and applying it in a thin layer. If you want to brighten certain areas more, you can apply an additional thin layer just on those spots. Using too much product from the beginning can result in an overly dramatic tone-up effect.

Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThis product is well-suited for the keyword 'for office workers'. It's great if the foundation makeup is clean and has good coverage. But to achieve that, there are so many things to consider, from starting with basic skincare to managing base flakiness. The product itself doesn't look chalky white like a sunscreen, and it provides some decent color correction, giving a CC cream-like effect. As someone with a fair 19 shade, I focused more on the fact that it covers redness appropriately, rather than just looking overly brightening. It's better than those typical whitening cream-like tone-up creams on the market.
ConsThe inclusion of fragrance is concerning, and the unpleasant scent is puzzling. As a somewhat covering product, it does show visible patchiness, which is quite severe, so you need to be careful around the cheek area!
TipTo solve the patchiness, lightly applying the product and then using an eye concealer and immediately setting with powder can give a light, natural 'bare skin' look. I'd recommend this when you don't want to wear a full face of foundation every day.

Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThe texture is like a lotion, so it's easy to apply. There's no stuffy feeling after applying it. And I didn't get any breakouts! It feels like the ingredients were carefully selected. I'd recommend this to those who like natural-looking makeup. I used it well to match my neck tone after makeup (I don't like applying foundation on my neck).
ConsHowever, the smell... the smell is really bad. To describe the smell, it's like a paint-like scent... I was shocked when I first smelled it. If you're someone who doesn't really care about the smell, I'd recommend this. I thought I was someone who didn't care about the smell, but I wasn't. Because of the smell, I don't reach for this product often. And when I pump it out, it sometimes comes out in a big glob, which is a bit inconvenient.
TipThe tone-up effect is better than expected, so I'd recommend applying it little by little to match your tone! It's really great for matching your face and neck color after makeup!

It's just right for applying to the neck in terms of tone-up effect and lasting power! It's also moisturizing when used as a makeup base, which is good.
ConsThe scent was too floral? The strong cosmetic fragrance was quite noticeable at first. When applied alone and after some time, there was a lot of wrinkling and the hairline area became whitish.
TipIt's best to apply in the order of skincare, sunscreen, tone-up cream, and then foundation/cushion, and you should apply it slightly away from the hairline.

I was using makeup base, cushion, BB cream... changing things up every day, but to be honest, it was difficult to find a product I really liked. However, after trying Lumibbon, I finally feel like I've found the perfect product for me. Just a couple of pumps and a small amount is enough to significantly brighten my tone, and the lasting power is great too. I just apply my basic skincare, then use Lumibbon to brighten my complexion, and finish with powder.
ConsThere were no breakouts, but the product does have a distinct scent. I don't really like products with fragrance, but luckily it's only noticeable briefly when applying and then dissipates quickly, so it's manageable. Also, if you apply too much, it can have a tendency to look a bit cakey. It can be a bit inconvenient when needing to touch up your makeup.
TipA small amount is enough to get great brightening, so be careful not to use too much! Also, make sure to shake it well before first use.

Trial Reviewers' reviews 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 was selected as a 'Hwahae Trial Reviewer' and received the product to write a review! I will write an honest review without any falsehoods, and to ensure a thorough review, I took notes on each use in a notebook and am writing the review based on those notes. 🍀 Advantage 1, Natural-looking tone-up with small amounts There are some tone-up creams that make the skin look overly white, but this product allows you to adjust the amount and apply it to achieve a natural-looking tone-up! When I don't want to wear heavy foundation but want to go out with a bare face, I can apply this product and get a natural tone-up without my face looking puffy. 🍀 Advantage 2, Can be used as a makeup base I mainly used this product as a makeup base - I applied a thin layer and then put on foundation. I never felt that the product was drying, likely because it has good moisture content. Using it as a base and then applying foundation made my skin look more refined. 🍀 Advantage 3, Moisturizing Not having used many makeup bases before, I'm not sure about the formulations of other products, but this one didn't leave my skin feeling tight or dry after application. Instead, it felt moisturizing, so after finishing my skincare routine, I could apply this and the foundation went on smoothly.
ConsDisappointing point 1, fragrance When I first used this product, I noticed that the fragrance had a rather strong artificial cosmetic smell. Personally, I disliked it. Disappointing point 2, difficulty in dosage control Since it's a pump type, it can be difficult to control the amount, which is a downside. If you don't use this product on its own and instead use it as a makeup base, you may find it challenging to control the dosage!
Tip💗 Honey Tip 1, Shake it well if it's your first use As mentioned in the instructions, if you have just opened the product for the first time, you should "shake it well" to prevent the separation of ingredients! Be sure to shake it about 20-30 times before using it for the first time! 💗 Honey Tip 2, Apply it to your neck for a more natural skin expression! As the weather has become warmer and clothes are getting lighter, the boundary between your neck and face will be more visible! Since it naturally brightens your skin tone, applying it to your neck helps match the tone with your face.

The formula is not immediately fixed after application, but is slightly watery, making it easy to spread and pat.
ConsThe scent was also not to my liking.. I had high expectations, but the disappointing aspects were significant. First of all, the tone-up effect does not last long. It quickly reverts to my original skin tone. And even after applying, it feels oily rather than refreshing, so I don't use it often. Looking at the Hwahae app, the price is not cheap either, so for this price and amount, I would recommend trying a different tone-up cream.

Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsFirst, I have sensitive and dry skin, and I prefer to keep my skincare and sunscreen moisturizing! 1. Brightening Effect The brightening effect is really noticeable. Can you see the clear boundary on my forehead in the second photo? Even though I normally use shade 21, I feel like a human marshmallow with how much brighter my skin looks now. 2. Lasting Power I go to school in the morning around 10 AM and come home around 11 PM, and the sunscreen is still intact when I get home! I didn't notice any darkening, and since I applied the creamy sunscreen thinly with a puff, there was no pilling or anything by the end of the day. I highly recommend this for those who need to be out for long periods.The third photo is from when I applied it at 10 AM and came home at 11 PM - my skin is still flawless, even though my eyebrows have disappeared! 3. Good Ingredients Since my skin is quite sensitive, I was surprised that I didn't have any issues even after wearing this for a long time. In fact, my skin seems to have improved. I recommend this brightening cream to anyone with sensitive skin looking for a good option.
ConsEverything else is good, but the scent is a bit unpleasant...and when I apply it with my hands, it gets clumpy and flaky. For dry skin types, the formula might feel a bit drying.
TipFor dry skin types, make sure to use moisturizing skincare and sunscreen, and apply it thinly with a puff.
