The formula is quite runny, which made it easy to apply. I usually use a mist, lotion, and cream as a base before applying sunscreen. The sunscreen I normally use is the Innisfree No Sebum and the Dr. G Brightening Up Sun, which are much more shiny and glowy compared to this one. So I think this would be great to use in the winter. In the current humid and hot weather, I found it a bit too damp for my liking. However, those with dry skin might find it nicely moisturizing. I'd love to use up the entire product by tearing it open. The photos show before and after application, as well as a comparison.
ConsThe main downside is that it's too moisturizing, which can be uncomfortable on humid days. The paper packaging, while good for the environment, feels flimsy and makes it difficult to control the amount dispensed.
TipI think this sunscreen would be great for use in the dry winter months, as it would provide a nice, hydrating feel. It applies easily without needing a thorough skincare routine beforehand, which is convenient for quick morning routines.

It's a tube-shaped container with a slightly coated, thick paper-like material. When it's almost empty, you can tear it open to use up the remaining product, so it doesn't feel wasteful. And when disposing of it, you can easily wash it and recycle it. 💬 Texture & Application: The texture is a runny, lotion-like consistency, so it was easy to apply. After application, it felt more like a layer on the skin rather than fully absorbed, but it wasn't stuffy or drying - it remained moisturized. 💬 Coverage, Tone Correction & Glow: The coverage is almost non-existent, but it brightened my skin tone by about half a shade naturally. Applying more didn't increase the tone correction. The moisturizing texture gave a slight glow, making my skin look naturally smoothed out. 💬 Fragrance: The fragrance was similar to common cosmetics (or hand creams), but it wasn't overpowering, so I think it would be fine for most people except for the very sensitive. 💬 Irritation: As a sun-sensitive formula, there was no itchiness, stinging, or breakouts after use.
Cons💬 Packaging: Since the packaging isn't very sturdy, I'm a bit worried about it getting dented or bursting when carrying it around. And when I opened the cap later, there was some sunscreen messily stuck to it, which was a bit disappointing. 💬 Dosage Control: The runny texture means the product dispenses quite a lot at once, making it difficult to control the amount.
Tip💡 I'd recommend storing it lying down. 💡 When using, gently squeeze the product out to better control the amount.

Vegan: The packaging is made of paper, and the tube is also made of paper. As it is a mineral-based product, even those with sensitive skin can use it without any issues. 2. Moisturizing: Despite being a mineral-based product, it is quite moisturizing and applies smoothly.
Cons1. Flimsy Packaging: The paper-wrapped tube feels rather flimsy. It tends to leak a little each time I dispense the product, and when it fell on my black pants, it left a white stain that was difficult to remove. Compared to other tube-type packaging, this one feels rather soft and pliable. 2. Precise Application Required: Due to the soft packaging, it can be challenging to control the amount dispensed, which can lead to uneven application. When too much is applied, it can leave a whitish cast on the face, similar to the typical mineral sunscreen, requiring extra effort to blend it in properly. Applying just the right amount is crucial to achieve an even tone-up effect, as using too little may not provide the desired result.

A portion of the product sales revenue is also donated to animal welfare organizations every month, and the packaging is printed using FSC-certified paper and environmentally friendly soy-based ink, so there was little concern about harmful ingredients being absorbed into the body when handling the product. - With 8 types of hyaluronic acid ingredients, it was moisturizing and did not have the typical tightness or dryness of sunscreen over time. - With mineral sunscreen and non-nano ingredients, it provides dual protection against UV rays, so I could go out with peace of mind. - With a slight base color tint, it worked well as a daily skin makeup substitute, providing a tone-up effect.
ConsSince it is in a tube-type paper case, if gripped too tightly, the product can gush out. Also, as the product gradually seeps out through the opening, it is a bit inconvenient to store it upside down to prevent the opening from getting messy.
TipI found it convenient and good that I only needed to apply it in a thin layer, and didn't have to apply any other cushion, as it served as a good skin base makeup.

It's a BB cream color haha ✔️Texture: The texture seems similar to a BB cream texture - it's bouncy but a bit runny, and it feels like applying a BB cream when you put it on, which was surprising. ✔️Fragrance: The fragrance is not strong, with a subtle herbal scent. For my preference, it's almost fragrance-free, so I was able to apply it comfortably without any burden. ✔️Brightening Effect: It doesn't give a whitening, chalky effect, but rather a natural brightening look!! However, since my skin is very fair (porcelain), I didn't notice a dramatic effect, and after some time, it seemed to darken a bit. But I think this is because my skin is exceptionally light. Those with very fair skin may want to consider this.
Cons✔️ Packaging: The texture is runny, and the packaging is a paper case, so it feels unstable. When I try to dispense the product, it tends to flow out on its own, which makes the opening always messy and makes it difficult to control the amount.

It applies smoothly and softly without feeling sticky or heavy, leaving my skin feeling soft and moisturized. I thought the peppermint in the name might give a cooling sensation, but I didn't really feel that. There was no irritation either. The tone-up effect is very natural - you can't really tell I'm wearing it after application. I applied enough to my face and did see a slight tone-up, but when I first tried it on the back of my hand (in the photo), I was surprised to see no tone-up at all. For someone like me who needs a lot of coverage, it may not work well as a foundation, but as a base, it looks very natural without making my face look overly dewy. The fact that the packaging has instructions to tear off the end to use up every last bit was an impressive detail to me.
ConsSince they emphasized the eco-friendly aspect, there's no sturdy cushioning, so the box arrived all crumpled... The packaging also has a paper-like feel, so if you press on it too hard, it seems like it might tear. Luckily, the product itself was fine. It's a tube, but the material feels as thin as paper, so I'm worried it might burst if I press on it too much. With packaging like this and a runny texture, just a light squeeze makes the product gush out, making it hard to control the amount.

My main concerns are enlarged pores and uneven skin texture. That's why I've been looking for a sunscreen that doesn't sting my eyes, but also doesn't clog my pores and provides a natural glow without emphasizing them too much. The vegan tone-up sunscreen caught my eye with its eco-friendly packaging - a paper pouch instead of a box. The bottle design was also quite unique. The formula is slightly runny, a bit thinner than a typical cream. The scent is subtle, with more of a powder-like fragrance than peppermint. The ingredients are relatively gentle, but since my skin is quite sensitive at the moment, I did experience a slight tingling sensation right after application, likely due to the peppermint. However, it doesn't seem to clog my pores and doesn't sting my eyes, which is great. The tone-up effect is fairly subtle for my usual shade 17, but it does help even out my skin tone nicely.
ConsThe downside is the unique packaging and runny texture make it a bit tricky to apply cleanly - the product tends to drip from the nozzle. A slightly less pointed nozzle could help with that. I've read that it works well under makeup, but in my case, it accentuated fine lines and creases when I layered foundation or cushion on top. Careful application and product amount control seems necessary. The formula also feels a bit oily for my combination skin type.
TipProper application is key - start with a small amount and build up as needed to avoid emphasizing wrinkles. Since the product is prone to dripping, it's best to dispense it onto the back of your hand first, then apply to the face to maintain better control.

Contrary to expectations, it feels moisturizing and leaves a beautiful, smooth finish on the skin. ▫️Tone-up: It provides a pink-toned brightening effect! Even when I'm in a rush in the morning, just applying this is enough to get a pretty tone-up look. 👍🏻 ▫️Ingredients: It's a vegan product with no harmful ingredients, so you can use it with confidence. Overall, the application is great, the scent is not unpleasant, and there's no pilling or heaviness. It applies well under makeup too. :) While I generally prefer mineral sunscreens, I sometimes find them to be thick and stuffy. But this product doesn't have that issue at all.
ConsThe tube has a paper-like texture... I've never seen anything like it before. I understand it's a vegan product with good intentions, but it's incredibly inconvenient to use. The cap doesn't close properly, and the paper material makes it flimsy and difficult to control the amount dispensed. 🥲 I think some improvements could be made to enhance the user experience.
TipIt absorbs well and doesn't pill under makeup. I really like it! Good product!

This is the first time I've seen and used it, but it's made of paper, so it's a truly eco-friendly package! When you press it with your hand, it's made of paper, so it's easy to press and has a soft, spongy feel. There's also a part on the lid that can be torn off so you can use it to the end. 🌿Sunscreen As described in detail, it has a pink base! It's highly recommended for those with yellow skin or cool tones. It's much thinner than expected. It has a serum-like texture! 🌿Spreadability The spreadability is very light and good! It doesn't feel slippery, and when you apply it over the base, it has a 'glassy skin' kind of feel. 🌿Usage It has more of a subtle glow rather than a greasy feeling. The tone-up sunscreens I've used before were all heavy, so the coverage was good but the skin expression felt a bit thick. But this is a thin, light tone-up sunscreen, so the coverage is a bit less, but it makes the face look naturally brighter. It's not like 'I put something on' but more like 'My face looks a bit brighter today~' - a very natural feel, so I'm very satisfied. There's no caking or lifting, and it slightly covers the pores.
ConsThe packaging is really made of paper, so it tears more easily than expected. It tears easily when you tear it with your hands! I usually only apply sunscreen at home, so it doesn't matter, but it might be difficult to carry around. The thin texture and the container being a bit flimsy make it slightly difficult to control the amount. This is something that might require some getting used to with more use.

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsTo begin with, I was originally not a big fan of wearing sunscreen, as I couldn't find one that I liked. However, this summer the UV rays were too intense, so I was essentially a nomadic wanderer constantly searching for a suitable sunscreen, afraid that I would get severely sunburnt if I continued not wearing it. Fortunately, I was selected as a Hwahae Trial Reviewer, and I tried this product, which turned out to be exactly what I was looking for. The key factors I consider when choosing a sunscreen are that it should have a smooth, non-greasy application, provide a hydrating and lotion-like texture, and offer a subtle tone-up effect. However, I don't want it to make me look overly made-up, like Toshio, as I have oily skin. After applying the sunscreen, I also don't want it to leave a shiny, greasy finish, and I don't want it to cause my makeup, such as cushion or foundation, to become cakey or slide off. Given my stringent criteria, I had a hard time finding the right product, but this one is perfect. The formula is almost between water and lotion, almost to the point of being runny, so it applies incredibly smoothly and the tone-up effect is very natural. It's great to wear even without makeup. I was initially worried that the thin consistency might make it feel greasy, but it only applies easily and then adheres well to the skin. I don't even need to use powder to control the shine, and my makeup, such as cushion or foundation, goes on beautifully without any cakiness or sliding. On the days I've worn this sunscreen and then applied makeup on top, people have often commented on how bright and beautiful my skin looks, saying things like "Your skin looks so good today" or "You look more radiant than usual." Even on the day I first tried it, when my skin wasn't in the best condition due to some blemishes, I still received those compliments, which speaks volumes. I even showed it to a friend and let her test it on the back of her hand, and she also really liked it. I think I'll definitely repurchase this once I finish the current bottle. The fact that it's vegan is also a great bonus.
ConsThe positives are that it was an overwhelming victory, but if I had to point out some downsides, I would say that the formula is a bit runny, so it's a bit difficult to control the amount when squeezing out the sunscreen. For me personally, the scent was a bit strong when I first applied it, so I wasn't a big fan of that. However, my friend said the scent was nice, and after using it for a while, I got used to it, so it's not as strong anymore and I think it's pretty good! Oh, and the package design is not really my style personally...(cough) Since I wear contact lenses almost every day and rub my eyes a lot, when I apply this sunscreen and then touch my eyes, they do feel a bit stinging.
TipI've discovered a great tip for controlling the amount of sunscreen you use! Normally, when squeezing out sunscreen, we tend to hold our palm facing up and squeeze the product downwards. But if you simply turn the part you're squeezing to face upwards, you can easily dispense the desired amount, which is much more convenient!
