I was a nomad, but I think I'll settle down with this one.
ConsThis makeup base feels a bit dry up here. There's nothing I can do about it, I guess.

When used as a base, this sunscreen helps makeup adhere well and last longer.
ConsThe stick-on formula is difficult to spread evenly if not applied quickly. There is a slight caking around the nose area, and the tone-up effect is quite noticeable, so you should adjust the amount you apply.

The color is not dull, so it seems to work well for color correcting. Since I have a yellow complexion, I used to always do color correcting before applying foundation, but with this product, I don't need to do that separately, which is very convenient. It also has sunscreen functionality, which is great. There is no clogging in the pores, and the lasting power is excellent.
ConsThe lack of coverage is a bit disappointing... However, since it is a sunscreen, this is to be expected. For those who are looking to use it as a foundation-free product, this may be a slight drawback. Nevertheless, it has many more advantages. And since it has color, if you apply too much, you may end up looking like a purple person.
TipApply evenly in moderate amounts and use for color correcting rather than as a foundation primer!!!

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.Prosยท The T-zone area is strong and oily, so the previous Water Splash (white container) was disappointing as the oil came up as soon as it was applied. However, this Water Splash Tone-Up Lasting product has a nice, powdery finish, which I liked. ยท Before applying makeup, I always use a tone-up sun cream first, and then apply foundation or cushion. This helps reduce darkening and makes the makeup last longer. This product was particularly useful for cool-toned makeup. ยท This product does not wash off easily even when in contact with water, so it seems suitable for use in the summer as well. ยท I don't usually do foundation-free makeup, but this product has a nice finish and effectively neutralizes yellow tones, so I think it would also work well for those who use it as a foundation-free product.
ConsThe cheeks were dry and flaky. It was probably because of the cold wind in the winter. For dry skin types, I would recommend using the product more in spring, summer (especially), and fall. As long as you properly complete your skincare routine, there shouldn't be any major issues.

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.ProsThe tone-up effect & color Even with a small amount of use, the tone-up effect is good and the tone-up color is really pretty. The product color is purple, but when applied, it catches the yellow undertone of the skin, resulting in a bright and pale tone-up. I have sensitive skin and have tried almost all mineral sunscreens, but the skin tone after using this product is so pretty. The tone-up effect feels more like a cool-toned (?) texture than a warm spring tone, and it seems to fit the current trend well. Lasting power The adhesion was really good. Even as time passes and there is a little friction, when checked, the tone-up maintenance is well-maintained. Since the texture is visually confirmable, the sunscreen's own lasting power will also be good, and I was reassured that the original function of UV protection will also be well-maintained. Makeup-free So due to the tone-up effect and lasting power, this is a good product for those who only do tone correction when doing skin makeup. Ingredient composition (freckle prevention) I had previously seen a dermatologist's YouTube video saying that the ingredients titanium dioxide and iron oxide in sunscreen are effective in preventing freckles caused by UV rays. So I had been consciously trying to use sunscreens with these ingredients, and this product has all of them, so I was satisfied. [tmi: So the YouTube video said that applying sunscreen and then doing makeup is surprisingly good for freckle prevention - because of the iron oxide in the cosmetic base] * Similar feeling product I felt that the usage experience was similar to the <Innisfree No-Sebum Tone-Up Sun Screen> I used before. Looking at the ingredients, it seems similar in that it uses not only zinc but also titanium as a mineral blocking ingredient, and it also contains iron oxide. The difference will likely vary depending on your tone-up preference. For those who want a purple-tinted, whitening tone-up (cool-toned feeling), I recommend the Espoir product, and for those who want a pink-tinted, brightening tone-up (warm spring feeling), I recommend the Innisfree product.
ConsTone-up is another term for whitening, so^^ those who dislike heavy whitening in sunscreens may not find this product suitable. The following are related product characteristics, so please consider and use it according to your personal preference. Dryness & Flaking While the tone-up and sunscreen have good lasting power, the adhesion is so strong that the face seems to be absorbing the oil, and the skin tends to become dry about 4 hours later. It may be more suitable for the more humid summer than winter. Due to the iron oxide ingredient, there is some flaking. The flaking occurs in two cases: first, when the application is slightly excessive, and second, when it becomes dry over time. For dry or combination skin, you should have a solid skincare routine before using this product for the best skin expression. Makeup Compatibility I thought it would be inconvenient to use this product with other base makeup due to the flaking issue. And since the product already contains iron oxide, adding more base makeup would make the skin expression look a bit thicker. Therefore, as I prefer makeup-free skin, this product was extremely satisfactory for me, but there may be some likes and dislikes for other people's preferences, so I only filled in 4 stars.
TipBefore use, thoroughly moisturize and pay attention to dosage adjustment.

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.ProsThe Hwahae Trial Reviewers recommend using this product as a tinted moisturizer in the summer, but not as a replacement for sunscreen in the winter. The key advantages are: - Better tone-up effect than mineral sunscreens with white cast - Slight pore blurring effect due to the silky priming texture - Good longevity and water-resistant - Slightly more natural-looking tone-up compared to mineral sunscreens - Package includes braille labeling for visually impaired users
ConsThe drawbacks are: ' If it had been released as a makeup base in the summer, the points that would have become advantages could have become drawbacks when released as a sunscreen in the winter.' โข Impossible to use the proper amount ใด Espoir should not have released this as a sunscreen. It should have been released as a makeup base with sun protection function, not a sunscreen. There is a proper amount to apply for the sun protection function, but for the reasons below, it is absolutely impossible to apply the proper amount. If the proper amount cannot be applied, the sun protection effect will also be less, so I don't understand why they released it as a sun protection product. โข Looks too white if applied properly ใด If applied the usual amount of sun protection, it just becomes pure white. It needs to be patted on lightly in small amounts to get just a tone-up effect. As shown in the photo, even when using just a tiny bit of the product, my face has already become very white. If this had been a makeup base, being able to get a tone-up effect with a small amount could have been an advantage, but since this is a sunscreen with a set amount, it can only be a drawback. โข More suitable for summer than winter ใด Espoir should not have released this product in the winter. If they had released it in the summer, the review would likely have been better, saying it's refreshing and not as drying. But now in the winter, it's likely to cause a lot of people with dry skin types to experience increased dryness. Instead, it seems like it would be good to use in the summer. And due to the dryness issue, those with dry or combination skin types probably can't use this product alone and in the proper amount. โข Difficult to remove ใด While the long-lasting property is an advantage, the difficulty in removing it is also a drawback. After testing the product, I double-cleansed with a cleansing balm and foam, but still felt like there was something left on my skin, so I had to double-cleanse again. It could be an issue with the cleansing power of my products, but I've never had to double-cleanse twice, so I was surprised.
Tipโข Gently pat it on ใด When applying by hand, do not wipe it on, but rather think "my fingers are a puff" and gently pat it on to prevent clumping. After patting it on, gently smooth out any clumped areas, then pat again. (If you have tools like a spatula or sponge, be sure to use them actively.) โข Mix with a moisturizing organic essence and apply ใด I've tried mixing it with the moisturizing, easy-to-wash organic essence I normally use, and found that it's less drying and the tone-up is more natural, plus cleansing is better, so I'm quite satisfied with this method. I recommend this approach for dry or oily skin.

It seems great for use in the summer as it's waterproof! โ๏ธTexture: It finishes with a powdery, soft-focus effect. Repurchase Intent ๐ค๐ค๐ค
ConsThe color on my face looks too mismatched, with a yellowish tint... It feels like I just applied a whitening sunscreen, not a tone-up product. The dry skin type may feel a bit too drying to use in the winter. Flaky skin is quite visible.
TipUsing it mixed a bit with the (Cellusion*) sunscreen I used before, it provides just the right amount of tone-up and moisturization!๐ง

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.ProsThe first impression was "Wow, it's really purple..?" I thought it would be a pinkish-purple, but in reality it's a vivid purple with a yellow undertone. When applied on the face, it's a bit on the drier side. For my extremely dry skin, I need to have a very hydrating base in order to wear it. A little goes a long way, so it's better to apply it in thin layers multiple times. It has great lasting power! After applying sunscreen, putting this cushion on top prevents any darkening throughout the day. I'd recommend this to those with yellow undertones in their complexion and dry, but not extremely dry, skin. โโโโโโโ-โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ Update: Using it with a damp puff makes it not feel dry at all, and it's amazing. After using base products and some time passing, there's usually darkening, but applying this cushion thinly with a puff prevents that all day long. I've been using it daily and highly recommend it.
ConsDryness is the only downside..? However, even our extremely dry-skinned mother uses the basic moisturizing products very satisfactorily on a daily basis and is very satisfied. ' Patting with a damp puff will prevent dryness!!!!!!!!!

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 is combination-type with oily tendencies, sensitive, and has many scars. My pores on the T-zone are also wide. Longevity: Definitely, when using the tone-up sunscreen together, my skin looks brighter and lasts longer compared to just using foundation. Presence of Blemishes: As a blemish-prone skin, I was cautious in selecting the sunscreen, but the good ingredients did not cause any breakouts. My skin also did not feel uncomfortable. Skin Expression: The sunscreen doesn't feel like a moisturizer or serum, so it gives more of a layered feeling on the skin rather than fully absorbing. The scent is typical of a regular sunscreen. The oil control is adequate, similar to a regular sunscreen. The texture is thick and creamy, like paint. There is no coverage, but it does a good job of color correction. It would be suitable for those with good skin. It has a pore-primer effect, making the pores appear smaller. There was also a smoothing effect on the skin. Even in winter, my combination-leaning-oily skin did not feel dry when applying it. Photos: 1) Skin on the back of the hand (shade 23-24) 2) Oily, hairy area with a worn-off appearance 3) Skin on the cheek when applied
ConsMy skin is greatly affected by the lack of smooth application, so areas with a lot of hair or dead skin tend to get patchy and cakey when I apply makeup thickly. When it starts to break down, the areas with a lot of hair and thick makeup get a bit clumped and slide off. So lightweight sunscreens that are easy to slap on aren't really suitable for me. To be honest, I do use a lot of sunscreen in the summer, but I can't reapply or use a lot of it, as it will just get cakey. I have to apply it thinly. I can't just smear it on, I have to dab it on gently. That's the only way it won't get patchy. Using a puff applies it more naturally than using my fingers. Sunscreens seem difficult to use for my problematic skin (it doesn't make my skin look nice...), but they worked okay on the better parts of my skin.
