While it won't cover blemishes or minimize pores, it instantly brightens your complexion by about half a shade. ❗️Moisturizing formula The lightweight, runny texture absorbs well and is easy to apply. Perfect for quickly smoothing on during busy mornings.
Cons❗️Even when carefully squeezing to avoid product buildup around the opening, the first bit that comes out next time is always clumped together. (After using it a few more times, it seems the whole product might be clumping...) ❗️It's quite rich, which can interfere with makeup application afterwards. ❗️When worn alone, it has almost no staying power. ❗️The packaging design feels a bit outdated.

Usage method: I've been using this product for a week in various ways - as a base, mixed with foundation, alone, applied with hands and with a puff. Here's my review: 1. Texture: This product is moisturizing (or greasy, if you want to be critical), but since it's getting colder and my skin is drying out, I'll say it's nicely hydrating! Like most products, when applied with hands, it leaves a dewy, moisturized finish. With a puff, it has a slightly more matte finish. 2. Coverage: While it doesn't hide blemishes or visible blood vessels, it surprisingly fills in pores well. It's perfect for those 'good skin days' when you want to go foundation-free. I mainly use it on days when I think, 'My skin looks pretty good today, let's go for light makeup.' 3. Brightening effect: Using about half a kidney bean-sized amount gives a natural half-tone brighter complexion. Unlike some brightening moisturizers that leave you looking like you've dusted yourself with flour, this product has a beige tone that blends naturally with my skin tone.
Cons1. Staying power: As it's quite rich and moisturizing, it tends to slide off quickly and doesn't last long. But this is pretty standard for most hydrating products... It's a matter of preference. Also, while it feels moisturizing at first, after 2-3 hours you might notice some deep dryness. 2. Formulation: As other reviewers mentioned, when I first used it, the formula came out separated - water and product. The inconvenience of having to shake it before use... However, it didn't separate again immediately the next day when I used it. 3. Oiliness: The hydration feels more like oil than water, which can make your skin look shiny. I definitely couldn't use this in summer.

When applied with fingers, the brightening is more noticeable, but when using a puff from the start, it's so subtle you might wonder if you've applied anything at all! ✓ Hydration The description claimed it would leave a matte finish... but I didn't notice any mattifying effect at all. Instead, it left my skin with a dewy glow!
Cons✓ Fragrance Personally, I found the scent a bit disappointing! It would have been better if it were fragrance-free... It has a faint scent reminiscent of Round A'round diffusers, which I wasn't too fond of. ✓ Longevity Due to its natural brightening effect, the longevity was... well... not particularly impressive.
TipI recommend this for those who dislike heavy brightening and prefer a natural complexion enhancement! I haven't tried it on its own before applying foundation yet, but I've used it mixed with foundation or alone. It seems to work well when mixed with foundation!

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. 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.ProsMy skin type: I have sensitive skin, so I don't wear makeup daily. Using incompatible products can cause blemishes. I usually opt for brightening moisturizers or tone-up bases, only wearing full face makeup on important days. My shade fluctuates between 21 and 20. This summer was particularly long, causing my skin to tan more than usual, so I decided to try this product. My usual favorite brightening moisturizer is the pink one from Cosnori. Multi-functional product: With the 'foundation-free' trend becoming widespread, there are many brightening moisturizers on the market. However, most of them either lack sunscreen, whitening properties, or both. This product includes all three, making it incredibly convenient. It's perfect for those quick mornings when you need to apply one product and rush out! Great ingredients: As mentioned earlier, I'm particularly sensitive to skincare products, so I pay close attention to ingredients. When I tested this, I didn't experience any skin reactions or breakouts! I was pleased to find only one potentially harmful ingredient. I recently had an important event coming up, so I carefully tested it on my hand, then neck, and finally face - no blemishes appeared! Whitening effectiveness: Whether it's due to the reduced sunlight lately or this product, I'm not entirely sure, but I've noticed my complexion has brightened considerably. I'm usually around shade 20, but after getting to 21 during summer, I feel like I'm now around 20.5~20.3. Looking at the product details, they've apparently included a lot of vitamins B, C, E, and other beneficial ingredients. Texture: The texture is fascinating! When applying, it feels quite rich, making me think, 'Oh no, this will disappear soon and leave me super oily.' But after a while, it sets and surprisingly doesn't produce much oil (though you still need to apply powder).
ConsPackaging design: I haven't used much of it yet, so it's fine for now, but I've had experiences with similar packaging designs being difficult to use when the product is almost finished. That's a bit disappointing. Coverage: As it's not a base product, the coverage is minimal. Limited brightening effect: From the perspective of someone who has tried quite a few brightening moisturizers, I've noticed that products combining brightening moisturizer and sunscreen often don't brighten well and the effect doesn't last long. This product also has this issue. I wonder if it's an unavoidable limitation...
TipI recommend shaking the product before use. I noticed that sometimes the product comes out separated. Shaking it before use should help. For best results when using this product alone: It's good to apply it in thin layers, building up at least two layers. Alternatively, using a puff with good adherence (like an air puff) might work well.

I appreciated how smoothly it applies without feeling thick. The moisturizing effect lasts quite a while. As time passes, it develops a subtle glow with a slight oiliness, which I personally found satisfying! However, those with oily or acne-prone skin might not be fans. User experience: It's hydrating without being overly brightening, making it perfect to use before applying a matte cushion foundation! It was just right to apply a thin layer before doing my makeup.
ConsBrightening effect: For a brightening sunscreen, both the level of brightening and its longevity are on the lower side. I probably wouldn't use this on its own on days when I'm not wearing foundation. Price: The price is a bit steep.
TipHighly recommended for those looking for a sunscreen to use as a base before applying makeup!

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.Pros✓ Natural brightening effect It doesn't leave a noticeable white cast, but rather gives a natural half-shade brighter look. Perfect for a foundation-free makeup, effortlessly chic style when you're heading to the corner store, gym, or work. ✓ Radiant glow As soon as you apply it, it imparts a beautiful luminosity that makes your skin look amazing. It's a bit on the richer side, so using it alone might feel a bit heavy, but setting it lightly with powder should do the trick! Personally, I found it pairs wonderfully with matte foundation. As the seasons changed, I had a foundation I wasn't using much, but when I mixed it with this, my skin had this gorgeous Inner Glow and looked as smooth as porcelain.
Cons✓ Texture & Fragrance The texture is similar to a sun milk. It's thinner than expected, which makes it easy to spread, but if you use too much, it can pill and not absorb well. The scent is reminiscent of old-fashioned powder perfume, like something from our mothers' generation... a bit cloying. The fragrance could use some improvement! ✓ Staying power The brightening effect doesn't seem to last very long. Rather than oxidizing, it seems to just fade away! I'd recommend reapplying frequently for best results.

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.Pros* My go-to sunscreen: Mineral-based pink tone-up sunscreen * Review after one week of use 1. Texture The product packaging and texture are similar to C brand's famous peach-tinted sunscreen. Although it's a mineral sunscreen, the consistency is quite fluid, making it easy to apply. 2. Tone-up effect My skin tone is 21-22 with yellow undertones and redness. The beige color initially looks a bit white when applying, but once fully absorbed, it gives a very natural look, brightening my complexion by about half a shade. 3. Scent The fact that I can't particularly remember the scent suggests it's either fragrance-free or very lightly scented. 4. Cleansing While it's not exactly 'easy wash', it's not difficult to remove either. Since I always double cleanse when using sunscreen, I didn't have any issues removing it. Overall, the best aspects are its smooth application (user experience) and natural brightening effect.
ConsI had more disappointments than satisfactions with this product. 1. Texture While the fluid texture applies smoothly, it's easy to use too much. If you apply a large amount at once, you need to blend it multiple times for absorption. Depending on your skin's moisture level after your skincare routine, it may not adhere well and can easily rub off. 2. Tone-up effect The natural half-shade brightening is nice, but the longevity is disappointing. By afternoon, it seems to fade back to my original skin tone. 3. Mineral sunscreen Compared to previous mineral sunscreens I've used, this one feels more drying, though seasonal factors may play a role. I notice my skin feeling dry during my morning commute, even though I don't have dry skin. It seems I'll need to apply a thicker layer of moisturizer underneath. 4. Sebum production With my previous mineral sunscreen, my sebum was well-controlled with proper cleansing. However, since using this product, I've noticed increased sebum production in my nose pores, despite maintaining the same cleansing routine. In summary, those who rely on tone-up sunscreen as their final makeup step may find this product disappointing.
TipFor best results, apply a thin layer when your skin still feels about 20% moisturized after your skincare routine. This helps it spread evenly, absorb well, and stay put. If you need to apply a larger amount, it's better to do so in multiple thin layers rather than all at once. Once fully absorbed, it leaves a powdery finish, but this also means it can feel dry quickly. You may need to pay extra attention to your moisturizing steps in your skincare routine.

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. 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.Pros1. Applies with a dewy finish First off, I loved how it applies with a dewy finish! Being a mineral sunscreen, it doesn't create a white cast for tone-up, but instead gives a dewy look. I have combination skin, so when my cheeks and chin get dry, makeup can look patchy. But this product is so rich in oil and moisture that it didn't become patchy even after hours. It's a great base for makeup, and especially for those over 30, using a product with some richness is beneficial - this one seems perfect for that. 2. Great ingredients I appreciated that it has good performance without any harmful ingredients. It's impressive to see such a good product without any nasty components. Since bad ingredients can damage skin in the long run, I felt reassured using this product knowing it's free from harmful substances. 3. Pore-blurring primer effect This product somehow naturally filled in my pores, as if it had primer ingredients. While some people might not like their pores being covered, I enjoyed how it provided a natural coverage without excessively blocking pores, creating a moisturized skin look.
ConsWhile I liked how it could create a dewy finish, I was disappointed that it seemed to sit on top of the skin rather than blending in seamlessly. Being such a moisturizing product, I can't say its staying power was particularly impressive.
TipFor those wanting a moisturized look, I recommend applying just this product after your skincare routine before heading out (for a dewy skin look, with almost no coverage). If you want coverage and longevity, it would be good to apply foundation or cushion on top. It creates a glass skin effect, so when you layer makeup on top, you can achieve a glowing complexion with better staying power.

At first, it feels a bit oily, but it quickly absorbs, resulting in a silky finish. Even after use, it maintains oil and moisture balance without feeling dry. With no stickiness, it's great as a base, and its light feel means no pilling when reapplying. The brightening effect is subtle and natural, not excessive. I prefer light coverage, so I loved how it gave a clear, translucent look. No white cast or eye irritation, and the silky finish is fantastic.
ConsFirst, I really dislike the scent. It has a strong, artificial fragrance that lingers, which I found bothersome. Second, it slightly creases along the eyelid line over time. This seems unavoidable for a base product. Third, longevity. The silky feeling seems to last about half a day before it starts to feel dry. By evening, I noticed it slightly emphasized dead skin cells.
TipTip 1: Apply two thin layers. It seems to even out skin texture, making it appear even smoother. Tip 2: As this is a foundation-free product, thorough cleansing of the pores is essential!
