Cons- Unnatural and artificial rose scent (a struggle every time it's applied...) - Occasionally splatters in strange places when pumping due to the packaging
TipIt's really great to apply on the neck! It doesn't settle into neck wrinkles and looks more natural than foundation. The ingredients are good too, so I feel like my skin is gaining elasticity and wrinkles are fading. I've been applying it as a makeup base while comfortably covering my neck as well.

Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsMy skin type is oily and acne-prone. 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.

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.

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 review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.Pros*Usage & Texture - A small amount can brighten the entire face. - It spreads well with the hands and has good makeup staying power when used as a makeup base. *Fragrance - The strong medicinal scent is unpleasant to use. *Packaging - At first, it takes several pumps before it starts coming out, then suddenly it comes out with a big gush.. Be careful when using it for the first time and pump it gently a few times..haha *Product Advantages - No sun protection function This can be both an advantage and a disadvantage. It's great for pretending to be bare-faced in front of your boyfriend. If the tone-up product has sun protection, double sun protection is a must, but this one is good for pretending to be bare-faced at home without sun protection! - Natural tone-up I think the biggest advantage is that it can naturally brighten areas with skin tone differences, such as the face, neck, backs of hands, and palms. I applied it to my relatively darker neck and backs of hands to make my skin look whiter.
Cons- The strong medicinal scent.. makes me reluctant to use it ㅠ - No sunscreen function.. The downside is having to apply sunscreen separately from the tone-up cream. - An additional makeup step +1, which is annoying +1.. After skin, essence, lotion, and sunscreen, you have to apply the 'tone-up cream' and then do makeup with foundation or cushion. - Should I go through the extra annoyance of an additional +1 makeup step to get a definite tone-up, or should I buy a tone-up sunscreen to reduce a step -1 and have the convenience? I prefer the latter ㅠㅠ Do I really need to spend twice the money to buy the annoyance?
Tip- If you bought it for a definite tone-up? Squeeze out an amount the size of a bean > Dab it with one finger > Spread it broadly on the tone-up areas first > Then use a damp puff to evenly apply it, and it will spread well with a small amount!

I brightened my skin tone! The tone correction feels natural and good. The texture is smooth and creamy like a sunscreen, so it was nice.
ConsThe smell is really like my mom's makeup... Personally, the smell was really not good. At work, since I have to wear a mask, the smell was really not good... The packaging design makes it difficult to apply cleanly, the transparent lid keeps getting stained even after wiping. The lack of UV protection is the biggest disappointment.. Most tone-up creams have UV protection, but this one doesn't, which is a shame. At this price, there are other good tone-up creams, so I probably won't buy this unless it's a Hwahae Trial Reviewer product. And a real big downside is that it cakes up even when you apply a small amount... Even after shaking and squeezing it out, it cakes up... It's a mess around my nose and mouth area. Personally, I didn't like it much.
TipIf you apply a lot, it will cake and clump, so just apply a small amount.

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.Pros*One-line review: It faithfully fulfills the tone-up function, but the scent is unpleasant and there is no self-tanning function, which is disappointing. - Packaging: It has a pump packaging. Since I'm not a big fan of pumps, I wonder if there was a need to use a pump packaging. -Spreadability: It's thick. Since it's a tone-up cream, I guess that's to be expected. It seems like you need to have a good base. -Functions: A small amount can achieve tone-up. You absolutely have to use only a bean-sized amount. You need to pat it in for it to look natural, but the color is pleasing, and it maintains without creasing or darkening over time. The other effective functions cannot be felt in a short time, and since you have to use multiple base products, it's hard to know which product's effect it is anyway. -Pros: When foundation feels heavy in the summer, or when sunscreen alone is not enough, applying a tone-up cream and then covering with a concealer seems to work well for daily use.
Cons- Scent: The artificial scent is quite strong. Is it the scent of the raw material itself? If it's a deliberately added fragrance, it would have been better not to add it. -No self-tanning function: This product is used in small amounts, so you have to use a separate sunscreen anyway, but for those of us who double up on sunscreen, if this product had a self-tanning function, we could have used it as a second sunscreen.
Tip- After applying the tone-up cream, just lightly dab on foundation or cushion. It expresses lightly and transparently, and there is less breakdown.

TipThorough basic skincare is necessary for it to adhere well without looking cakey

Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsAlthough the product contains a lot of peptide ingredients, I was worried about the unpleasant ingredients, but fortunately, no trouble occurred. When applied in the right amount, it gave a natural tone-up effect, making my face look lively! However, there are many disappointing aspects of this product. The first photo shows the left side without the lotion and the right side with the lotion applied on the hand. The second photo shows the appearance of the hand after applying the product.
ConsIt's drying and there are pores clogging. It seems to apply well, but if you don't control the amount properly, it can look uneven. Even after applying a moisturizing mineral sunscreen and just a tiny bit of this product on top, over time it feels like it's peeling off. The instructions say to skip the basic skincare and apply it, but I'm not sure about that. And the fragrance is really strange, like acetone. The amount can be controlled to look natural, but I think I need to experiment more to find the right amount for me. I have no intention of purchasing this product.
TipBe sure to shake it well before use and build a good skincare base. The amount is just right to make it look natural.

Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.Pros😃Trouble-free Even though I'm a bit sensitive, I didn't have any trouble thanks to the mild ingredients! 🙂Tone-up Up up It doesn't look pale and chalky, but rather brightens my complexion naturally! I've used the tone-up cream that was #1 on Hwahae before, but it looked dull and unnatural. This product really does tone up my skin naturally, as the name suggests. However, it doesn't provide much coverage. The coverage is almost non-existent...😂 But it seems to help reduce redness!
Cons☹️The scent is not great I read in other reviews that it smells like baby powder or my mom's moisturizer, but to me it just has a weird scent. The odd smell made me wonder if the product had gone bad.😭😭 😵It's heavy As I wear glasses, I'm quite sensitive to heaviness, and this product feels quite heavy. Not only on my glasses, but it also leaves marks when I touch my face with my hands. It also seems to cling around my nose area. This is the most disappointing part for me...ㅜ 🧐Tube At first, when I tried to squeeze out the product, the tube felt weak and got deformed. I was going to mention that as a downside, but then I realized that it might be intentional, so that it's easy to squeeze out the remaining product towards the end. I haven't actually tried that yet, since there's still a lot left, but it seems like they designed it that way.😅
TipI think this product would be good for those who have uneven skin tone but no significant blemishes or dark spots. As someone with a lot of redness, I found that it helps reduce that, so I'd recommend it to those dealing with flushing as well. However, I wouldn't recommend it to those who need more coverage for their dark spots or discoloration.
