1. Inconvenient Packaging
The container requires opening and closing each time, which isn't ideal for quick application.
I've actually transferred it to a cushion compact for easier use.

2. Too Light for Shade 23
I found it a bit bright, so I've been mixing it with my Dr. Jart BB cream. The combination of this product's lightness and Dr. Jart's darker tone creates a perfect match for me.

I've been using this product since it first came out, for about a year now.

<My Skin Type>
: Slightly oily, super sensitive skin prone to blemishes, and I have a cool undertone.

<What I Loved>
1. Gentle Formula
I can sleep with this on without worrying about breakouts.

2. Skin Appearance
It doesn't accentuate dead skin cells and gives a pretty nice finish. I've never experienced any darkening. While it doesn't cover all blemishes, it does conceal them slightly (check the photos for reference).

3. Color Match
It brightens up my complexion without being too yellow or pink. The neutral shade works well for those with a 21 shade, giving a lovely glow.

5GF 톤업 선비비 크림 [SPF42/PA++] [01 아이보리]

I doubt anyone can apply BB cream without some patchiness,
but this one does have some issues with settling into lines and looking cakey.
On the bright side, it didn't cause any blemishes for me.

I've been using this for about a month, and it's great for a light application.
While the coverage isn't exceptional,
it does manage to conceal to some extent.

It applies more evenly when you spread it with your fingers.

Since it's foundation-free, the coverage isn't the best. There's also some pilling. When I tried to use concealer on the scars that weren't covered, it didn't blend well. And there's a bit of caking too.

I'm absolutely thrilled with this product! As someone with acne-prone skin and quite a few blemishes, I often hesitate to wear makeup. But this product has great ingredients and doubles as sunscreen, which makes it less stressful for my skin. After applying it, I met up with a friend who thought I was wearing full makeup! Plus, it doesn't cause any darkening of the skin.

The color is a letdown. At first, it seems to blend well with my complexion, but as time passes, it develops a strong grayish tint. The areas where I applied it stand out awkwardly, creating a very unnatural look.

While I appreciated the staying power, texture, and ingredients, which were generally good, the color issue is a major drawback, making this product disappointing.

- Easy to apply on the face with just a small amount
- Excellent staying power
- Decent pore coverage (though only for subtle pores)
- Convenient size for carrying around

It's on the pricier side, so I'm not sure about repurchasing.

I got the chance to try this out after receiving it at a beauty festival. I was initially worried because I chose this sun BB cream for my pore and caking concerns, but the reviews I found weren't as positive as I'd hoped.

The verdict? I'm satisfied!

I applied it using a spatula, and I'm impressed with how well it covers pores (goodbye, visible pores!) and how nice it feels on the skin. What I was most concerned about - its staying power and whether it would break down - turned out to be just fine. On days when I need my makeup to last, I'll still reach for foundation, but for everyday use, this is great. I saw many reviews saying it dried out and looked bad after a while, but for me, it wore off naturally and beautifully.

This is my first time using a BB cream on its own, and while it's hard to put into words, it definitely feels like I'm wearing makeup, but my skin feels so much more comfortable than with foundation or cushion compacts. It's quite remarkable!

I'd recommend this to anyone who wants light makeup for short outings when you don't want to go bare-faced, but find that brightening moisturizers don't provide enough coverage.

For my combination skin, it felt too drying, even after applying a heavy-duty moisturizer underneath.

It evens out my complexion and covers pores naturally, with great staying power.

Here's my pro tip: After using this product, lightly dust some powder over it to improve its staying power!

While it may not last as long as foundation, it's much lighter, which more than makes up for that drawback. It's also less likely to come off if you accidentally scratch your face.

It has great adherence and absorbs well. Perfect for a foundation-free makeup look! With its sun protection feature, you can apply it with a spatula, pat it in with a puff, and you're ready for a quick outing.

It's basically a mineral sunscreen that only has the color of a BB cream.

As time passes, it becomes increasingly drying. The pore accentuation was way too severe... ugh. Usually, when I apply mineral sunscreens, they're too drying and emphasize my pores and dead skin cells, so I can't use them. I thought this would be different since it's mixed with BB cream, but it felt just like a regular mineral sunscreen. On the bright side, being a BB cream, it does offer a bit of coverage, but true to BB creams, it doesn't last long. However, it becomes dry, making it impossible to reapply. Aren't you supposed to reapply sunscreen? The coverage fades away, leaving your skin exposed. It's not a brightening moisturizer, so it doesn't really improve your complexion. Overall, it feels like a product that's neither here nor there, making it rather ambiguous.

Well, the packaging is pretty and the product comes out smoothly and easily.

In summer or under a heater, it can feel a bit heavy on the face

The skin looks beautiful! The coverage is quite good, effectively concealing redness. Thumbs up!

It's convenient to use when I put it in an empty cushion compact

It tended to separate more than I expected and emphasized dead skin cells a bit. The most disappointing part was that even after using it once, I developed blemishes... I carefully checked the ingredients before buying and only used it occasionally, but each time I used it, I got a couple of breakouts

It matched my skin tone perfectly, making it great for a natural look when I'm in a rush to go out

The adherence is poor. As light as it applies, the coverage is equally underwhelming. While I don't need much coverage, the lack of adherence is really disappointing. It's not even suitable as a brightening moisturizer, so I don't reach for it. Even when patting it in, it feels like it's pilling.

I used this for the first time and my skin completely broke out! I've never had such a bad reaction before. I'm so upset. This is the only thing I changed in my routine. My skin was fine in the morning, I don't understand why this happened... I was so excited when I bought it too. My skin wasn't great to begin with, and while I've experienced pilling with other products before, this one pills like crazy, almost like dirt. It's possible my skin didn't absorb the toner properly, but I'm too scared to test it again. Also, shade 23 is not recommended for those with slightly lighter skin tones.

There's nothing good to say... My skin completely broke out. What am I supposed to use now? I'd only recommend this for those with shade 21 skin.
