But it seemed like the year would be over before I knew it, so I hastily searched for a tone-up cream. The one that seems the most suitable for me is to apply it only to my neck, but it feels like a waste of money? Then I saw that Hwahae was having a Hwahae Trial Reviewer event, so I applied and won! (Overwhelming thanks to Hwahae🥹) It's a brand I've never heard of before, so I was skeptical when I opened the package and used it, but since I'm only applying it to my neck, I just went ahead and used it.. The container is for body use, so the amount is quite generous. It's a pump container, so it's easy to dispense and apply before getting dressed. The tone-up effect doesn't make my skin unnaturally white, but blends well with my face. Nice.. But I only use a bean-sized amount. It's not too sticky after application, which I like. The scent is just that typical artificial cotton scent you'd expect from a cosmetic product (not great, but not terrible either). The online description says you can use it on the body and face, but so far I've only applied it to my neck (I was too scared to use it on my face because of my sensitive skin). I plan to keep using it only on my neck! The amount is a lot, so I'll be using it for a very long time. Thank you, Hwahae😘
ConsI just checked the price online and it's 35,000 won after a 30% discount?? Wow, it's more expensive than I thought.. Even though it's for the body and face, if a tone-up cream is in the 30,000 won range even with a discount, isn't it a bit too pricey?

The texture is smooth like a lotion, so it applied well. Those who want to apply it to the body as well for brightening purposes will find that a small amount spreads a long way, so this product would be a good choice.
ConsHowever, the sticky residue left after application made it difficult to reapply frequently. That was quite disappointing...

Sorry for the late review! 🤍Texture🤍 You can probably feel it from the photos! It applies smoothly like a body lotion. 🤍Application🤍 I was worried that it would become sticky and difficult to spread after the initial smooth application, but it spreads evenly without any issues! 🤍Finish🤍 At first, I felt like there was something on my body after applying it, which seemed a bit unpleasant. But it's not completely absent either. The stickiness disappears over time, leaving a soft finish. 🤍Transfer🤍 This is the most important aspect of a body tone-up product. There's no transfer at all!!! I rubbed it on black clothes and there was no issue!!! One thing to note is to apply it and let it dry a bit before putting on clothes^-^ However, I can't be responsible for any transfer if you sweat and it gets on your clothes!^<^ 🤍Tone-up🤍 Comparing the photos, you can clearly see the yellow undertone has faded. But it's not unnaturally white, just a natural, healthy glow. Seeing it with the naked eye is even more noticeable! 🤍Irritation🤍 As someone with sensitive skin, I didn't experience any issues! No itchiness or discomfort at all! However, for those with atopic dermatitis, I can't recommend it just to be safe!! Some of you might be thinking of using it on your face, and it's actually fine to do so! But since it's a body lotion, it might feel a bit uncomfortable... haha!! If you have resilient skin, give it a try! 🤍Volume🤍 It's a very generous amount!
Cons🤍Sweat, Watery Residue🤍 This is quite important, you know^<^ Body tone-up creams are usually used a lot in the summer, and when I sprayed water on it and gently rubbed, a watery residue appeared. It's an unavoidable issue, but for those who sweat a lot or plan to use it at the beach, it might not be the most suitable option!!! I can't be responsible for the white residue that appears from sweat and gets on your clothes!!! However, after wiping off the water, I didn't see any streaks or water marks. It looks natural. The tone-up effect is a bit less than before, but it still maintains a whitish appearance compared to not using it at all!
TipIn the summer, this alone might be enough, but if you're using it in the fall or winter, you'll need to apply a separate body lotion as well. It can be drying.

I've been using it consistently after showering, and my skin tone has definitely brightened, so I feel like my skin is regaining its luster. I think if I keep using it, I'll be able to return to my pre-tanned skin! Texture and Application: It's moisturizing and has just the right amount of oil, so there's no dryness when I apply it to my body. That's why it's been so easy to use, especially in this transitional season! Effectiveness: When I applied it to areas like my elbows that were discolored, I could immediately feel the tone improving. It seems to be a product that tackles both whitening and hydration, so it's a really great product! And since the ingredients are gentle, there were no issues with breakouts or itchiness, which I'm really happy about. Scent: It has a very familiar peach-like scent that I really enjoy. It's a scent that won't polarize people.
ConsI think the packaging could have been a little more transparent.
TipBe sure to apply a generous amount to discolored areas, and then apply it gently all over like a body lotion.

Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThere may be some mixed opinions, but personally, I thought it was quite nice. The kids came over and sniffed it, saying it smelled good😊 The texture is a soft cream formula, so it spreads well. It's a white cream, so it looks a bit white right after application.
ConsI tried to apply it thickly, twice, but it didn't absorb well, so I ended up just applying it once after showering (it was difficult to apply right before bed). Since it's a cream formula, there was a slight stickiness. If I had been wearing short sleeves, it might have left marks where it brushed against my clothes, but since I was wearing long sleeves, I think it was absorbed into the fabric. There were no breakouts, but after using it 4-5 times, I'm not sure if it actually brightened my skin tone. Right after application, the white cream sits on top, so it does look a bit pale (whitish).
TipDo you think applying it thinly, twice, would help with the brightening effect?

The immediate whitening effect when applied was also very satisfying. And the fact that it can be used on both the body and face at the same time was great!
ConsI don't think there was really any downside to it~!! I wish they would release a larger size version.
TipWhen applied before makeup, it helps achieve a more natural-looking whitening effect~!!!

It's not unpleasant and quite nice
Cons- It wasn't a light/refreshing formula, though it was moisturizing - It takes a bit of time to spread... It wasn't the most spreadable
TipPatting it on lightly and quickly helps it absorb well and be more effective

Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThe body cream immediately provided a noticeable skin tone-up effect as soon as I applied it! The product also spreads easily, allowing me to tone up the desired areas of my skin with just a quick rub. I also liked that I could dispense and apply it like a body lotion. The key advantages were the natural-looking tone-up, and the fact that it absorbed into my skin as smoothly and moisturizing as a body lotion, without any residue.
ConsI didn't really like the fragrance... It had a scent similar to a men's skincare product, and when I applied it generously on my arms near my nose, the fragrance kept bothering me. The fragrance seems to be quite divisive. Also, I think the price is on the higher end at around 50,000 won. At that price, I'm not sure I would purchase it. And to be honest, while I can see the tone-up effect when I apply it, I'm not sure if it actually improves my skin tone in the long run, which is a bit disappointing.

ConsAs it's a tone-up cream, it can transfer onto dark-colored clothing. It's best to use it on regular days, not just when exercising!

Fortunately, the tone brightened naturally without looking dull - the side with the cream is on the right in the photo with the blue line. - It washes off well with soap! No need for a separate cleansing product. - Less transfer onto dark-colored clothes It's not completely gone, but it was as minimal as my favorite N brand tone-up cream.
ConsI used it with the expectation that it would be gentle since it says you can apply it before bed, but I have 3 disappointments. 1. Lack of Moisture My face is fine, but due to the skin irritation, my body became very dry and painful without lotion. The texture is like a lotion, but it doesn't feel like it's replenishing moisture. You'll definitely need to apply lotion separately. 2. Breakouts <- Low-irritation to apply before bed...? Since it's also a body lotion and it says you can apply it before bed, I tried it on my face after cleansing. Even after my full skincare routine, I still got breakouts. However, my skin is sensitive to changes in seasons and conditions, so small irritants can affect me. You'll need to be cautious depending on your skin type. Cleansing is a must. 3. Streaking Concern There's a noticeable streaking effect in areas with frequent friction, like the neck or elbows. It feels like the tone-up cream is getting pushed out of the creases. I habitually rubbed my neck with my hand, and it came off like grime. While it's not a lot, it can be embarrassing, so it's good to keep in mind.
Tip1. Improving Dryness For those with severe dryness, applying a body oil or moisturizing cream first can help prevent it. 2. Possible Makeup-Free Option You know those quick trips out front? Sun cream feels heavy, but you still want to look brighter. The lotion texture glides on easily, and it doesn't make your skin feel stuffy. In fact, it's less drying on the face and gives a nice glow, so I think I'll use it more on my face than as a body cream.
