* User skin type - Sensitive/dry * Product formulation - Liquid cream formulation * Recommended skin type - Sensitive/dry/combination * User review - It's great to use as a base as it has sunscreen functionality. It doesn't have a tone-up effect, but it has a pearly finish. Gives a dewy, hydrated look! Using it alone is so-so, but mixing it with the sunscreen or foundation I normally use worked really well. Can be used comfortably year-round, except for the height of summer.
Cons
The size is too small, so it's not cost-effective to use as a substitute for sunscreen or foundation...
Tip
Applying it with a brush gives a smoother skin appearance.

After its release, it was sold cheaply in a set with a brush. Etude House is an Amore Pacific affiliate, and it seemed like a brand that always exceeded the price-performance ratio, so I bought it without hesitation. The sun protection factor is SPF 50+ / PA++++ Sun base products are often only +++, but this one is ++++ so the blocking power doesn't seem poor, which is good. It's described as a sun base with a pearly finish, but rather than an obvious pearl finish, it's closer to the texture of a moisturizing lotion with a lot of glow. To put it positively, it has a radiant finish, but in a way, it can look a bit greasy. The tone-up effect is not a drastic whitening, but more of a slight half-tone brightening. At first, I was disappointed that the tone-up was weaker than expected, but using it, I found that this is actually an advantage. As a sun cream substitute, if it whitened dramatically with just a little application, I probably wouldn't be able to apply the proper amount. Ah, and it's not drying, so it's good for winter. In my case, even in this season of January, I have to use powder on top. If I just leave it as is without layering a matte cushion foundation on top, it looks a bit too dewy. While Etude House is a brand targeting younger generations, this base product seems more suitable for dry, aging skin types. The official website says it contains 72% skincare ingredients.
Cons
In the summer, the dewy, glossy finish of this product may feel burdensome.

The color is similar to foundation, so it applies well. It has a lot of moisture, so it spreads smoothly and evenly, and the adhesion is good!
Cons
In my opinion, the formula is a bit thin, so when I applied it with my hands, the product felt like it was running, so I wish the formula was a bit thicker (?).
Tip
Maybe because I don't usually like shiny makeup, when I use a powder to control the shine, the skin expression turns out beautifully!

You can apply it with your hands directly on your face or spread it thinly using the complimentary multi-base brush. After taking an appropriate amount on the back of your hand, spread it thinly across your entire face and finish with a puff to remove any brush marks. You can also gently pat it with the flat side of the puff to eliminate any brush lines. I used it without any issues with dryness or breakouts. While watching the Etude House Naver live, the most common question in the comments was about the difference between the Nymph Glow Volumer and the Glow Fix Tone-Up Base. The Nymph Glow Volumer does not contain any pigments, while the Glow Fix Tone-Up Base has tone-up ingredients, so it has color. You can think of them as completely different products. Both products provide a glowy, hydrated finish.
Cons
This product has a very strong glow, so be sure to apply it thinly. Applying it with a brush works better than using your hands.
