The product's packaging is attractive and sleek. 2. Being a mineral sunscreen, it doesn't cause eye irritation, and I didn't experience any deep dryness even after extended wear. 3. Although it's a purple sunscreen, it doesn't leave an intense white cast and looks natural on the skin. 4. The texture is so fine that it spreads incredibly thinly compared to other sunscreens. 5. When applied all over the face, it neutralizes yellow or red undertones, giving the complexion a fresh and clean appearance.
Cons1. When applying this product, I noticed it had a tendency to clump unevenly on my face. This is different from the usual pilling issue. Some areas had more sunscreen buildup appearing whiter, while others weren't covered well, resulting in uneven application. While not extremely noticeable, it was visible to the naked eye. Unfortunately, my phone camera couldn't capture this detail clearly enough to show you. 2. As time passes, oil builds up significantly, causing quite a bit of shine. While it doesn't break down messily, the amount of oil that surfaces is considerable.
TipDue to the clumping issue, I haven't used it enough to discover any personal tips for better application.

I have skin with a lot of visible pores, and while the pore coverage could be a bit better, overall I'm quite pleased with it!
ConsAs someone with noticeable pores, I find the pore coverage a bit lacking for my needs

Honestly, I was hoping for a chemical sunscreen or one without white cast that wouldn't show even when applied generously, rather than a tone-up cream. Here's my review after using it for a week. The texture is moisturizing with a purple tint. It's not runny, so you don't have to worry about it dripping when applying. It's fragrance-free, so there's no irritating scent. True to its moisturizing formula, it spreads easily. After application, it doesn't feel greasy but finishes with a slightly powdery feel. I appreciated that it didn't make my hair stick to my face as much. As time passed, it wasn't bad for reapplication. Whether you apply a lot initially or layer it later, this tone-up sunscreen inevitably shows, subtly or not. If not applied well, it can make your face look overly highlighted. Make sure to pat it in for better absorption. As expected from a tone-up sunscreen, it provides good brightening effects, but it might not be sufficient to cover redness like flushing. It definitely neutralizes yellow undertones with its purple tint. It gives a natural brightening effect. This product might be suitable for those with sensitive skin. It's hard to give a definitive answer because even though I have sensitive skin and it worked well for me, others might experience irritation or find it unsuitable for their skin.
ConsIt seems to lack coverage for redness or flushing.

My skin is dry and prone to wrinkles. When I apply makeup, I first put on sunscreen, then concealer on any blemishes, and finally foundation. This sunscreen in particular has caught my attention as it claims to protect against fine dust, which is an improvement over my previous product. As for the fragrance, there is none. The lack of artificial scent makes it suitable for anyone to use. The formula is not runny - it stays in place when applied to the face or hands, making it easy to apply. If I warm the product up a bit with my hands, it applies more smoothly. After spreading it out, gently patting it a few times helps it absorb really well. After it's fully absorbed, it effectively neutralizes the yellow tones in my skin. When my skincare products haven't been fully absorbed, I've felt a bit sticky, but applying this sunscreen after my skincare routine helps eliminate that tackiness. It doesn't have a shiny finish, so I can just wear this sunscreen alone when exercising. Lately, I've been worried about fine dust, so I'm quite satisfied that this product claims to provide that protection. Spending time outdoors has been making my throat feel scratchy and my eyes sore, so I'm glad to have a product that can at least shield my skin.
Cons- The finish may lack a bit of a powdery feel. If you prefer a more velvety look, you may need to apply a matte foundation or powder at the end. - Compared to what you've been using, the coverage is lacking. It does a good job of neutralizing the yellow tones, but it doesn't make you look significantly brighter overall. (The image shows Dr. G on the left and Uique on the right.)
TipI highly recommend using this as a primer substitute. It seems to help balance the tone and somewhat fill in pores.

Some brightening sunscreens can leave patchy white marks, but this one evens skin tone naturally without excessive whiteness! It's perfect for running errands without makeup. Non-greasy: Even with my oily skin, it doesn't feel greasy at all. It leaves a matte finish. If you're applying sunscreen before makeup, I'd recommend a more hydrating type than this one! Lightweight: The sunscreen applies with a light feel, making it comfortable to use. Recommended for: Those days when you want to go out without makeup but still want your skin to look a bit better!! Anyone looking for a sunscreen that provides a natural brightening effect!
ConsBlemishes: After applying this sunscreen, I noticed a few small blemishes appearing. Not recommended for: Those looking for a sunscreen that conceals pores! This one doesn't have pore-covering properties.

For those with redness, I'd recommend trying the new fit green version. With my shade 21 skin that tans to about 21.5 in summer, this product beautifully brightens my complexion! I especially love how it naturally lifts my skin tone by half to one shade, rather than leaving an unnatural white cast. Texture and Application The consistency is just right - not too thin or thick. It applies with a watery, hydrating feel, but once it settles, there's no excessive shine or greasiness. Despite having dry skin, I didn't experience any deep dryness or discomfort. I'm very satisfied with the texture and how evenly it applies without patchiness. Suitability as Makeup Base I tested it with Hera Black Cushion, Fwee Suede Cushion, and Chanel Healthy Glow Moisturizing Foundation. It worked well with all three, providing excellent adherence. It's a great makeup base! The brightening effect also seemed to prevent darkening. Longevity and Sweat Resistance My job involves sweating all day, even in dry indoor environments. Despite this, I never experienced white residue or streaking. While some product did come off when I blotted with a towel (I sweat a lot), it never looked messy or ran. The natural brightening effect means it still looks good even as it wears off. I love that it's sweat-resistant yet easy to cleanse.
ConsThere aren't many downsides, to be honest. If I had to mention something, since it's a brightening moisturizer, it doesn't provide coverage. You'll need concealer for areas with significant tone differences or blemishes. But since it's primarily a sunscreen, not a coverage product, this is hardly a flaw. If coverage and pore-blurring are priorities for you, or if you want texture correction, you might prefer a sun cushion with more coverage. As a suggestion, I think it would be great if this brightening moisturizer with SPF came in other colors! Pink and ivory shades would be wonderful. Or perhaps a half-and-half cushion, or a mini set with multiple colors to mix and match.
TipFor more even application, I find using a dense, moist puff and patting it on works better than applying with hands. But don't worry - it still applies well when smoothed on with fingers. It works great both as a makeup base and for evening out neck tone.

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.ProsI have warm-toned skin with acne scars. 1. Application: As I have combination dehydrated skin, it absorbed like an essence - moisturizing and sinking in without pilling. I only applied sunscreen over my skincare, and didn't feel any tightness or flaking. 2. Texture: The texture is like an essence, thinner than expected, so a small amount spreads widely. Even when layered, there's no clumping at all, and it absorbs well into the skin like a skincare product. I applied generously for a more noticeable brightening effect, and it still absorbed well. 3. Color correction: The color correction was a bit subtle given how thin it is. These days I only wear sunscreen, and while it does even out my skin tone, after one application I wonder if I've even applied anything - that's how subtle the tone correction is. Maybe it's because of my uneven complexion! I found myself wishing for a slightly brighter effect. The texture is really moisturizing like a skincare product, so I'd recommend it for combination dehydrated or dry skin types!
ConsI wish it had slightly more brightening and coverage effects

I have combination dehydrated skin with an oily T-zone and extremely dry areas elsewhere, but this didn't make my skin feel tight or flaky, which is great!
ConsHowever, since my skin is extremely dry except for the T-zone, while it doesn't make my skin feel tight, it doesn't provide intense hydration either. Also, being a sunscreen, it offers no coverage and doesn't last long on the skin.

Natural brightening: Unlike some sunscreens that claim to brighten but leave a white cast, this one actually provides a subtle, natural half-tone brightening effect that's visible. 2. Absorbs well: It spreads smoothly and absorbs quickly, making it perfect for busy mornings when you need to apply and go. 3. All-in-one: Its versatility as a sunscreen, corrector, and base is a major advantage, allowing you to streamline your routine by replacing three products with just one.
Cons1. Can emphasize dead skin cells: If you have significant flaking and don't properly hydrate your skin beforehand, it can highlight dry patches and appear white on those areas. 2. Can be drying: As someone with combination dehydrated skin that changes with the seasons, I noticed my skin feeling dry after wearing it for a while, especially in winter. 3. Doesn't cover redness: With its natural brightening effect and purple base, it doesn't significantly cover redness, which is noticeable on my cheeks where I have more pronounced redness.

This brightening moisturizer doesn't have that typical thick feeling on the skin, absorbs well, and doesn't cause any skin irritation!
ConsThe coverage might be on the lighter side... However, it feels comfortable on the skin and helps neutralize overall yellowness, making your complexion look great! Highly recommended for office workers who only apply sunscreen before heading out.
TipI quickly apply this before work. Even though it's a brightening moisturizer, it absorbs so well that it doesn't pill and spreads evenly!
