This is a review of the Etude Soonjung Tone-Up Sun Cream.

True to its name, Etude Soonjung Director's Tone-Up Correcting Sun Cream is a sunscreen focused on correcting skin tone. With an SPF50+ PA++++ rating, it offers sufficient UV protection, and I liked that it felt light and comfortable the moment I applied it. The texture is a soft cream type that is neither too runny nor too thick, and it adheres moistly without any stiffness when spread.

I was worried that a tone-up product might leave a heavy white cast, but surprisingly, it felt like it naturally evened out just one tone, so it was fine for daily use. Rather than making my face look washed out, it just slightly smoothed out skin imperfections, so it was perfect for a no-makeup look. I found myself reaching for it often, especially on days when my skin looked dull, as it made my complexion look much cleaner.

True to the Soonjung line, it has almost no irritating scent in terms of ingredients, and I was able to use it without any major breakouts, even on sensitive days. Perhaps because it contains soothing ingredients like panthenol and madecassoside, it felt less heavy or stinging, which is typical of sunscreens. Even when sweat or oil came to the surface, it tended to finish matte rather than greasy, so I didn't need to apply powder separately. It also held up well without caking when applied before foundation, making it great to use as a base.

I was also satisfied that there was almost no eye irritation and my skin didn't dry out easily even after being out for a long time. Overall, I think it is a tone-up sunscreen that is comfortable even for sensitive skin, and I felt that applying just this one product is sufficient on days when I want to wear light makeup. It is a product I am still using consistently.
