It's perfect for wearing without makeup in the summer as a foundation-free product. When applied, it becomes slightly matte, but for my oily skin, the T-zone area actually works well for me.
ConsThere really are no disappointing aspects - the price is reasonable, the tone-up correction is excellent, and I am very satisfied.

While it's difficult to find an exact same product, I just needed something that could fill that spot. So I tried the Holika Holika Makeup Sun Cream, and I have to say, I purchased it with my own money and it's really great!! The Holika Holika Makeup Sun Cream comes in both matte and moisture versions, and I first tried the matte type. The brightening effect was really impressive, and the tone-up longevity was also good!! I personally prefer the matte type a bit more, but I've been mixing the two products, and the tone-up longevity is amazing, and there's no tightness either, so I'm super satisfied😍 I didn't even spend 10,000 won on it, and the cost-effectiveness is unbelievable!! Even the UV protection index is just right. If you have a combination skin type like me, with oily outside and dry inside, I recommend mixing the two types. For those with an oily and acne-prone skin, the matte type would be better, and for dry skin, the moisture type is recommended.
ConsThe Hwahae is certainly Hwahae and dry!!! If you only apply this, your face will become too dry from the afternoon onwards due to the pulling sensation, it was itchy!! But since I liked the powerful tone-up color, if you apply the moisture version of the same line together, it will do. As the name suggests, Hwahae is very Hwahae and Moisture is really moisturizing and the skin was comfortable, but Moisture does not have the same lasting power as the Hwahae type!! And Hwahae needs to be very well adjusted! (You can become a ghost!!)
TipI'm applying the moisture dewy sunscreen mixed with the matte one, as I mentioned earlier. Depending on the skin condition that day, if it's oily, I'll use a higher ratio of the matte one, and if it's dry and tight, I'll use a higher ratio of the moisture dewy one. Sounds good!

If you have trouble-prone, oily skin, I highly recommend it! It effectively fills in pores, controls shine, and provides a noticeable tone-up effect. In fact, if you apply it in a thin, double layer, the tone-up benefits will last until the evening. As you can see in the photo, the formula is very dense and creamy.
ConsIt is absolutely not recommended to use this as a primer before makeup. Unless it is an extremely thin and moisturizing cushion, it will definitely look cakey. You should use it solely on its own. Also, the formula is thick and sticky, so you need to be careful when applying it.
TipI recommend it for foundation-free use. If you apply it thinly twice, the durability is quite good as well.

When I applied it with a puff, it stayed well even after sleeping and waking up. The amount is not small, so it seems to last a long time. It goes from neutral to slightly combination, with just a bit of oiliness around the nose area, but it is well-maintained and finishes off with a soft, powdery feel. Even on hot or rainy days, it didn't feel sticky. You don't need to do a lot of base makeup, just enough to address the inner dryness, and it goes on smoothly and leaves a soft, supple finish.
ConsThere's no need to do a lot of basic skincare, but on days when I'm in a hurry and can only use toner before going out, the areas around my nose or with rough skin tend to have flaky skin come off. But on that day, I barely even managed to properly apply the toner, so I basically went out with a bare face. I think if I at least properly use the toner, it should be fine.
TipBased on the tone-up function, I purchased it, but it seems to give a slightly whitening effect on my skin. For those who use around shade 23, I recommend applying just a small amount or mixing it with a cushion foundation.

The matte formula seems suitable for oily skin as well. It just brightens the complexion with a radiant tone, so you don't need much coverage.
ConsThere were no troubles and there was nothing particularly disappointing. However, I would not recommend it superficially.

There are people who haven't tried Holika Holika sunscreen, but there are none who have tried it only once. It has no stickiness at all and is very soft and smooth, providing a beautiful tone-up effect. Lately, I've been loving using it as a makeup base.
ConsThose with dry skin may find it a bit drying.

Additionally, the light texture makes it suitable for daily use without feeling burdened.
ConsThe product has a brightening function, but it sometimes makes my skin tone appear too pale. Additionally, it has a matte finish, so if you have a dry skin type, you may experience a feeling of tightness. Therefore, if you have dry skin, I recommend using it together with a moisturizing skincare base for better results.
TipThis type has a soft, smooth finish, so in the winter it's a good idea to apply a moisturizing base and sunscreen.

It naturally corrects your skin tone, making it perfect for light outings. ✔ Natural toning effect - Brightens skin tone without looking overly white ✔ Can be used without makeup - Suitable as a base for light outings, exercise ✔ Non-sticky finish - Applies lightly and refreshingly without feeling heavy or oily
ConsDry, unpleasant feel - Lacks moisturizing properties, making it difficult to apply before makeup Not recommended for makeup - Does not blend well with base products, so I don't use it when doing my makeup
TipOverall, this is a lightweight sunscreen that is good for applying lightly when you want to skip makeup. However, it is on the drier side, so it is more suitable for use alone rather than before makeup.
