It's best to shake before use. Feels like a hydrating moisturizer and absorbs well. I liked that it didn't pill and absorbed quickly into the skin. It felt gentle without irritation. Above all, I could use it with peace of mind due to the absence of harmful ingredients. It's a mineral sunscreen without white cast and provides a natural brightening effect. Rather than a dramatic tone-up, I noticed my skin looked clearer and more radiant. With SPF 50+ PA ++++, it offers strong UV protection. Although I didn't see immediate results, I appreciated that it contains six brightening ingredients to inhibit pigmentation. It worked best as a brightening moisturizer before makeup rather than on its own.
Cons- When applied alone over light skincare, I felt some deep dryness. If you have dry, dehydrated skin, it's better to apply sufficient skincare products underneath. - It's not ideal for use alone as a foundation replacement. It doesn't cover blemishes, and your skin shows through.

It offers great coverage for a sheer formula while still feeling incredibly lightweight. The fluid texture applies beautifully, and it dries to a comfortably matte finish that doesn't make my combination dehydrated skin look greasy. The staying power is impressive too - when I apply it before work, there's still a subtle hint of coverage left by the time I clock out.
ConsThose looking for high coverage might find this foundation a bit lacking in that department.
TipFor even longer wear, try lightly patting some powder over it as a finishing touch! I have super sensitive skin, so I use a baby powder compact, and it's truly a winning combination. It works hard to keep your makeup fresh all day!

Even though I have combination dehydrated skin and don't usually go for overly hydrating base products, this leaves my skin feeling comfortably moisturized with a balanced oil and moisture balance, not matte at all. Brightening effect - It doesn't make your face look unnaturally white, but gives a subtle, natural brightening effect that's about one shade lighter. If you're looking for a dramatic brightening effect, this might not be enough. However, it's perfect as a base before makeup - it's adequately moisturizing, applies thinly without being too thick, doesn't cause pilling, and creates an ideal canvas for makeup application!
ConsCoverage - There's no coverage at all, it just slightly brightens the skin tone. As someone hoping for a foundation-free look, this was a bit disappointing. However, if you have flawless skin without blemishes, this would look beautifully sheer and clean on you. Richness - After application, it's not excessively sticky, but there's a slight rich feeling. If you have oily skin or prefer a matte finish, you might need to blot with oil-absorbing sheets. Scent - Personally, I'm not a fan of the fragrance... It has a strong, old-fashioned scent that reminds me of my mother's old cosmetics.

I applied just this one product before work, and surprisingly, even after lunch, my skin didn't feel tight. What's more, instead of the shininess I was worried about, it gave a natural glow that made me feel great. When I used to use my previous sun compact, my skin would feel tight in the afternoon, and by evening, my complexion would look uneven. That's what I like best about this product.
ConsFirstly, the lack of a puff is inconvenient. It's fine in the morning, but reapplying with fingers in the afternoon is quite troublesome. Secondly, the coverage is somewhat disappointing. I had hoped for some complexion correction, but it's so natural that it's hard to tell if it's actually evening out my skin tone. The lack of visible effect is quite disappointing.
TipRemember to shake the product upside down before use. Since it's a liquid type, you can carry a dedicated sponge case separately to use it like a compact.

I felt it would apply moistly for those with dry skin during seasonal changes and winter! It's fragrance-free, which is great for those sensitive to scents!
ConsThe brightening effect is so natural it's almost non-existent, and the ivory color means those looking for a foundation-free product should pass. It has no coverage. It might be too rich for oily or combination dehydrated skin as the product itself feels quite oily. The price is also too high.
TipI currently have combination dehydrated skin, so if I applied this to my face right now, I feel like it would trigger an oil party. So while considering, I tried it on my hands! Though fragrance-free, it feels like applying a deeply moisturizing hand cream. If you plan to use it on your face, make sure to set it with powder.

I only used toner-emulsion-cream) • The brightening effect looks natural whether you apply a little or a lot • Has a subtle scent that isn't overpowering (though I can't quite place what it is) • Makeup applies smoothly right after use without any pilling
Cons• Lacks coverage, so it might not work as a standalone base (in my opinion) • The price point is quite steep
TipNo special tips, just smooth it over your skin evenly.

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 was curious to try a foundation-free product since they're all the rage lately, and I was thrilled to be selected as a Hwahae Tester! It's nothing like the heavy feel of foundation or BB cream - just a natural brightening effect. There's minimal pilling too. Some brightening products can look chalky or get stuck in pores, making them look worse than foundation, but this one doesn't do that at all!
ConsPersonally, I found it a bit too rich for my liking. It gave me a slightly greasy feeling. The lid is also a bit inconvenient to open and close. I find all square products with twist-off lids a bit fiddly. As with all foundation-free products, don't expect much coverage. I received this when my skin was breaking out due to that time of the month, so I had to use makeup to cover up.

I used it for about 2 weeks as part of The Hwahae Testers program. Application: The main reason I gave it 5 stars is its absorption. Usually, brightening sunscreens are thick or clump up when applied, but this product has an emulsion-like texture that spreads evenly, allowing for even skin tone correction without any patchiness! Color: I also loved the color - it was a naturally flattering shade for my #22 complexion. It wasn't too white or too pink, so I could use it without feeling self-conscious. The brightening effect lasted for a reasonable amount of time. Packaging: I liked the compact, square container that doesn't take up much space, reminiscent of old-school sunscreens. I recommend this product for those who want a natural-looking brightening effect on busy mornings! The beautiful ivory shade should work naturally on any skin tone.
ConsSince I mainly used it for brightening my neck, I'm not sure about potential blemishes, but I had no irritation when using it on my neck area. Packaging: While I appreciated the compact container, it's more difficult to squeeze out the product compared to a regular tube. Coverage: As it's a brightening sunscreen, it provides almost no coverage.

Plus, it brightens your complexion by a shade and gives you a nice glow. I only used this as a sunscreen, but I think it would look even more beautiful if used with foundation.
ConsWhile it absorbs well, it can leave quite a shiny finish and tends to transfer onto hands. When using it just as a sunscreen, finishing with powder seems to make it look neater. The coverage appears to be on the lighter side though. It doesn't quite hide my dark spots.
TipAfter applying the sunscreen, you can remove any excess cream with a puff and finish with a setting powder for a clean look.

The texture is like an emulsion, so it absorbs well. Being a foundation-free product, it leaves your skin feeling comfortable and not suffocated. It felt like a sunscreen I could use with ease!
ConsYou should expect almost no coverage from this product. If you apply a lot, you might get a slight evening of skin tone, but it's more of a brightening concept. Also, be cautious as it's on the richer side in terms of oil content.
TipFor a hydrated finish, try applying it first to areas lacking in oil and moisture balance before your main skincare routine, then layer your other products on top!
