The product has a high UV protection index of SPF50+ and PA++++ to effectively protect the skin from UVA and UVB. Instead of chemical emulsifiers, it uses a water-holding emulsion system that provides a moisturizing, soft, and non-sticky texture that absorbs well into the skin. In addition to sun protection, the product is also certified for whitening and wrinkle improvement functions, helping with skin care. After using it for a week, the shipment came in a small box with two kits. The watery sunscreen was just a sunscreen product without a tone-up cream function, while the vita tone-up sunscreen had a pink formula that provided the same moisturizing sensation but also had a tone-up effect, which was more suitable for my dark and dry skin. Compared to matte sunscreens, this provided a moisturizing and smooth application with good absorption. The natural and radiant pink tone-up was not overbearing. I used this product without experiencing any trouble like pimples or acne.
ConsMany sunscreen products on the market have toning functions, but this product seems like something I should check and purchase.
TipThe product was extremely moisturizing, so after using sunscreen, I didn't immediately apply foundation or cushion makeup. Instead, I waited a little while before proceeding with my makeup routine.

I will settle on this all-season makeup-free sunscreen.
ConsThe high price and non-recyclable packaging were disappointing.
TipThe new-looking container shape is satisfactory as it is easy to apply on the face.

It has a slightly pink-toned, lively tone that can be good enough to wear just this for a light outing. It doesn't cover blemishes, but it helped brighten dull areas of the face.
ConsAlthough it's a brand often mentioned as a gentle product, I didn't feel the application was very smooth on my dry skin type. I like using tone-up creams to lightly even out my skin tone instead of foundation, but I often had a white cast around the outer parts of my face and around my mouth. It seems to be a type that needs to be smoothed out well, rather than being soft and smooth. I wouldn't recommend it for dry skin, and the tone-up effect seemed to last around 3 hours. It's a shame the product didn't work for me since I really like other Tochoko products!
TipI wouldn't recommend it for dry skin types, but if you have a well-prepped base, it seems to provide good application and lasting power.

However, I didn't experience that at all and it was the best tone-up sun cream I've used so far.^^ It's similar to the discontinued AHC sun serum, which I really liked. The serum-like texture feels great, and the more I spread it, the better the tone-up and complexion look. The floral scent was also pleasant.
ConsI don't have any complaints. I used up the sample and plan to purchase the full-size product.
TipIf you prefer a matte finish or want faster absorption, you can dab it on with a sponge to control the oiliness and get a more powdery finish.

I strongly recommend this to fair-skinned cool-toned people. This is my holy grail product. I bought a tone-up sun cream online without much thought, and it had a yellow base, which was disappointing. But this one really brightens my skin tone beautifully, with no trace of yellow. It gives me a lovely pink-toned glow and is suitable for my dry skin. I only use foundation in shade 13.17, but honestly, I don't really need foundation. Wearing a white foundation doesn't make much of a difference, and it can even damage my skin. I just want to look naturally radiant, and I strongly recommend this product for that.
ConsIf you really have to squeeze out something negative, it would be the price. It gets used up quickly, so you'll need to buy multiple during sales.
TipThe best time to buy is during the Olive Young sales, but the products often sell out quickly, so you have to wait in line. The average price on Hwahae is around 20,000 won.

The tone-up is just right and it also works as a base before makeup. There's no cakiness.
ConsI haven't felt it yet. It might get a bit cakey if you apply too much.
TipI recommend applying an appropriate amount before makeup.

It has a high level of tone-up, so it would be great for those who want significant brightening. Especially when doing a radiant makeup look, it helps to seamlessly match the color difference between the face and body.
ConsThe tone-up effect is a bit too strong, so the 22nd shade may be too much for daily bare-faced wear. The fragrance is also quite strong, so it's not something I reach for often. Due to this, there is a slight irritation when applying it around the eye area, so I only use it on the body. Those with sensitive skin may want to avoid it. Additionally, since it lacks waterproof functionality, it's ineffective for water activities.

They are a bit firmer in lotion form, but apply smoothly without any clumping, even around the nose area. There's no tugging on fine lines around the neck either. When I was in a hurry, I just slapped it on like my dad does his skincare, but it still applied evenly without clogging my pores! Before buying a tinted sunscreen, I tried the famous Espoir and Dalba products, but this was the smoothest application. 🫧Natural-looking tone-up Tone-up creams can sometimes make your face look chalky if you use too much. This Tokobo one does get a bit pale if you overdo it, but the right amount applied all the way down to the neck gives a nice, brightened, cushiony effect. 🫧No darkening If I apply it after my workout at lunch, there's almost no darkening by 6pm. It does fade a bit, but doesn't get darker than my natural skin tone. For reference, the Dalba product had the worst darkening for me. 🫧Oil control As someone with oily skin, the oil does come through over time, but in a nice, glowy way. It's the most satisfying oil control among the tinted sunscreens I've tried - Espoir and Dalba both ended up looking greasy.
ConsThere were absolutely no disappointing aspects - I'm completely satisfied with this product.
Tip🌈Recommended for oily skin due to the natural-looking tone-up 🌈Applying the right amount to each area of the face gives a blurred, makeup-like effect 🌈Strongly recommended for those tired of Espoir and Dalba products!
