As a brightening moisturizer, it gives a beautiful tone-up effect with its lovely color payoff! The pretty pink hue evens out the skin tone beautifully, making it perfect as a base product. This product really nails that high-end Inner Glow look, so I'm definitely repurchasing as soon as I run out! ✓ Minimal emphasis on dead skin cells Some tone-up products tend to accentuate dead skin cells, but this one doesn't! It allows for a smooth skin finish! ✓ Less oily feel I've tried many tone-up sunscreens, and they often either feel too oily or so dry that they emphasize flakiness. This one strikes a nice balance - it's less oily and doesn't feel heavy on the skin. ✓ Multifunctional! It's great that this product combines sunscreen and a tone-up base in one! As the weather gets warmer, this will really help reduce the burden of layering multiple products in summer.
ConsIf you apply too much at once, it can create a floating effect and cause makeup to pill. It's best to apply in thin, gradual layers.
TipApply in small amounts to prevent pilling! Highly recommended as a base for achieving that coveted Inner Glow look!

I highly recommend it to those who want a noticeable improvement in their complexion. The sunscreen has a pink tint mixed in, which creates a beautifully even skin tone. The application is smooth without any pilling, which I really appreciated. After applying, it doesn't leave an oily residue, but it's not too matte either - it finishes with a hydrated feel that's perfect for oily skin types. I'm extremely satisfied!
ConsThis isn't suitable for a foundation-free look, as its coverage isn't particularly strong.
TipApply this brightening moisturizer with SPF before your cushion foundation, and you'll never have to worry about darkening!

For areas where you want extra luminosity, gently pat on a small amount and let it absorb. This creates an even complexion with a beautiful glow.
ConsAs someone with dry skin, I usually focus on building a solid skincare foundation. However, when applying this sunscreen, it seemed a bit heavy and caused some pilling. I found that using a lightweight moisturizer to address deep dryness, followed by this sunscreen, allows it to absorb like an emulsion.
TipFor the best experience with this sunscreen, opt for lightweight, fast-absorbing base products rather than heavy creams or ampoules. This approach will significantly improve the overall feel and effectiveness of the product.

I love that it doesn't have an artificial scent. Best of all, it didn't cause any blemishes, so I'm really satisfied. I've been using it every single day!
ConsI felt the coverage was a bit lacking, and it gave a dewy finish which, for someone like me with oily teenage skin, made me look a bit too shiny. That was a bit disappointing.
TipI think it would work well with some blush on top!

It doesn't transfer much, and it evens out my skin tone naturally. However, it's not very hydrating, so it might be too drying for those with dry skin and could potentially flake. I'd recommend this sunscreen for oily or combination skin types. The brightening effect really makes my face look radiant, and it's great for evening out the neck area when using a lighter shade of cushion foundation. The texture is just right - not too watery or too thick - which makes it spread easily.
ConsOne downside is that it takes a while to fully adhere to the skin. Once it sets, it's great with minimal transfer, but before that, it feels like it's just sitting on top of the skin for quite some time. This process takes longer than I'd like. Also, I'm a bit disappointed with the packaging. Maybe it's because this is my first time using this type of sunscreen, but even when the cap is closed, if there's any impact, product comes out of the nozzle and makes the cap dirty. As someone who likes things neat, this bothers me a bit.
TipTo minimize the sunscreen 'floating' on your skin, try squeezing a generous amount onto the back of your hand first. Then, gradually layer it onto your face while observing how it's settling. This method helps achieve the most natural application, beautiful brightening effect, and ensures the product adheres well to your skin!

Ingredients and Effects Looking at the ingredients first, a major advantage was that they were generally gentle. Even with sensitive skin, I didn't experience any significant irritation when using it overall. After using the product for about 6 days, I could feel it improving my skin texture and providing a natural brightening effect. However, it was difficult to notice any reduction in blemishes. It felt more focused on evening skin tone rather than targeting blemishes. 2. User Experience The product comes in a tube with a pump, which made it convenient to use. The absorption was good, feeling similar to a hydrating moisturizer. However, I felt I needed to adjust the amount used. It seems more suitable for winter or seasonal transitions rather than summer. Overall, I was satisfied with the user experience. It effectively evened out my complexion and improved skin texture, and the gentle ingredients made it feel non-irritating.
ConsRather than a drawback, this is more of a personal preference issue. When first applying, men might find the pinkish tone somewhat overwhelming. However, this isn't a major inconvenience in practice as it naturally absorbs into the skin when applied in small amounts and spread evenly. Also, the rich feeling may vary depending on your skin type, so I recommend starting with a small amount and adjusting as needed.

It applies thinly and adheres well to the skin without feeling sticky or pilling. The application is smooth, and it leaves a moisturized finish without feeling greasy or clumping. I use shade 21, and I love how it brightens and evens my complexion without looking unnaturally white or floating on my skin. It's a subtle tone-up that's not overwhelming. The brightening effect tends to last well throughout the day. I used to find separate tone-up products too heavy and oily for my skin, but with this tone-up sunscreen, I only need to apply once, making my skin feel much more comfortable and lightweight. It adheres more naturally than sunscreens with a white cast, giving a healthy-looking glow and improving the overall appearance of my skin. Being gentle on the skin, it's suitable even when dealing with blemishes. Plus, it's easily washable with a single cleanse, so you don't have to worry about double cleansing every day. The scent is also mild and not bothersome, which is great.
ConsIt's disappointing that it contains phenoxyethanol. I wonder if they couldn't have used an alternative ingredient. While it's fine for regular use, I probably wouldn't be able to use it during pregnancy. It's such a shame that one ingredient in this otherwise great sunscreen is a concern.
TipTry applying a thin layer and then building up coverage on areas where you want more brightening, while keeping it sheer on other parts to enhance your facial contours. This technique will give you a much more natural and beautiful tone-up effect!

Its texture is neither sticky nor heavy, absorbing smoothly like an emulsion, making it perfect for daily use or when you're in a rush. The absorption is excellent, with no pilling around the nose or butterfly zone where pores are prominent. It's been tested suitable for sensitive skin, so you can use it worry-free. Beyond sun protection, this multifunctional product also offers whitening and anti-wrinkle benefits, making it ideal for light skincare at home during summer. I was surprised to find that it cleansed off easily with just foam cleanser, eliminating the need for double cleansing. This easy-to-remove feature is a big plus. Its non-greasy formula seems particularly well-suited for those with oily skin.
ConsWhile it applies smoothly without being thick, if you're looking for a more hydrating or moisture-rich sunscreen, the Damton Hydrating Cica Sunscreen from the same brand might be a better fit than this mild version. For combination/dehydrated or dry skin types, try the Damton Hydrating Cica Cream for a hydration boost. For combination/oily skin, the Damton Brightening Mild Cream could be more suitable.

ConsThere wasn't anything particularly bad! My husband and I both tried it, and neither of us experienced any blemishes. It's a sunscreen that provides a natural brightening effect, so I think we'll continue using it happily.
TipIt's more fluid than you might expect, so be careful - even a gentle squeeze can dispense quite a bit!

It really gives a natural brightening effect. It's not just a brightening moisturizer, but also works as a sunscreen, which I absolutely love. The best part? It doesn't transfer! So many brightening creams rub off on clothes, making them hard to use, but with this one I can comfortably wear any outfit. It offers a natural yet noticeable complexion enhancement, has great staying power, doesn't cause blemishes, has skin-friendly ingredients, and applies smoothly.
ConsThere's nothing particularly bad about it. The only thing I can think of is that since it's a tinted cream, there might be some colorants in the ingredients...? But that's about it. No real drawbacks to speak of.
TipWhen applied to the neck, it gives a definite brightening effect without transferring, which is fantastic. It's also great to apply on specific areas of the face where you want to add some glow!
