This product seems to be a classic makeup base. After using Mamonde's product which was discontinued, I tried various options and found this to be the perfect fit. It's not too dewy or too matte, and the coverage nicely color corrects the yellowish tones while allowing makeup to apply well. These days there are a lot of tone-up products, but I hope this type of makeup base doesn't disappear. The fragrance is lightly powdery (not like a baking powder, but an old-school cosmetic scent).
Cons
I think it would be better if you could apply a gentler sunscreen with SPF 30 or lower, even though the one I have is SPF 50+ PA+++.
Tip
It's like a natural tone-up cream, even with just a single layer. It also effectively neutralizes any yellowish tones. When used together with the same brand's BB cream, the coverage becomes incredibly powerful, surpassing even most foundations.

Sensitive skin with redness. I've been using the Peach & Lily BB cream, but it's been getting worse with breakdown and darkening. When I looked for something to mix it with, I heard that mixing it with a specific brand's makeup base would be fine, but there were a lot of reviews saying it caused trouble due to the poor ingredients, so I ended up buying the Missha product as it seemed to have better ingredients. The makeup base itself seems to have poor ingredients. I think the pre-renewal Missha product also had poor ingredients, so I didn't buy that. I was debating between the green and lavender, but since a lot of people were mixing the Peach & Lily BB cream with the green base and I have redness, I was going to get the green, but since the lavender Missha product was selling much better, I tried the lavender. I was tempted because it's said to neutralize yellow tones really well. I mixed it 1:1 and applied it, and was worried about breaking out, but fortunately I've been using it without any irritation. The moment I mixed it, the BB cream color brightened by one tone and helped control the grayness, making it look more radiant, and it also improved the staying power. It seems like it would mix well with other BB creams that have strong grayness. I also felt the price was reasonable! And it has UV protection, which is good since the Peach & Lily BB cream didn't have that function. If you mix too much, it becomes a bluish-green color, so adjusting the amount is important. This is because the formula is very thin, so it's hard to control the amount. When you open the lid and tilt it, a big glob comes out... Mixing and applying it every morning has been really annoying. So I've been pre-mixing it in a mini container. I bought the 'Dewbill mini vacuum foundation bottle' and it's been working well.
Cons
The formula is too thin, so it's difficult to control the amount. When you tilt it, it just pours out. I haven't tried using it on its own.
Tip
The people who mix it recommend pre-mixing it in a bottle beforehand.
