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.

5GF 톤업 선비비 크림 [SPF42/PA++] [01 아이보리]

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

Not recommended for those with oily skin, large pores, or blemishes. I'd only suggest this for people with naturally good skin who don't need much coverage.

I purchased the recommended combination, but it fails to improve my pores, skin tone, or texture. It severely accentuates dead skin cells. As someone who's been searching for the right products, this is by far the worst I've tried.

I was tempted by Instagram and bought the ampoule set. While it absorbs well, it doesn't improve my complexion at all after application. Instead, it emphasizes my pores, wrinkles, and dead skin cells to the extreme.

It's challenging to apply evenly. When applied with fingers, it looks patchy and goes on thick. Even with a puff, it doesn't blend well. Only a damp puff seems to give a somewhat smooth application. Also, the typical grayish tint of BB creams makes my complexion look worse. I feel like I wasted money on this purchase.

I bought this because I heard it's great for going foundation-free. The packaging is adorably shaped like a pebble.

Unfortunately, it has the characteristic grayish cast typical of BB creams

Provides a natural brightening effect and covers the entire face with just a small amount

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.

The free mesh cushion is too good for this sun BB cream, so use it with a different product. If you really want to try this, buy it secondhand. It's not worth paying full price for this product.

- Brightening: Despite being marketed as a brightening sun BB cream, it doesn't brighten at all. Anyone with skin lighter than shade 21 will look darker. It's exactly a standard 21 shade, which darkens as the day goes on. This product only brightens for those with shade 22 or darker. 

- Pore and texture coverage: Absolutely no coverage. Even though I don't have prominent pores or texture, no matter how much I apply, it doesn't cover anything. Surprisingly, it actually emphasizes pores as if saying 'Look at my pores here!'

- Longevity: It doesn't melt away, but rather peels off when it fades. What's more, I usually don't need touch-ups even in summer due to my long-lasting skin, but on days I used this sun BB cream, it peeled off so badly that I felt embarrassed about my makeup. It also comes off completely where the mask touches...

I can't find any positives... It's disappointing. I received a mesh cushion to use with the sun BB cream, but the product wasn't even worth putting in the cushion. I bought it because I liked their sun ampoule, but now it's up for sale on a secondhand app. They advertise it as a regenerating sun BB cream, but I'm not sure about the 5GF content. The scent reminds me of old-fashioned sunscreens.
