Verdict Should you buy it?

A tinted tone-up hybrid driven by DHHB, BEMT, EHT, and ecamsule alongside TiO2 — among the more modern filter blends on the market. Multiple hyaluronic acid forms plus niacinamide and adenosine give a hydrated finish; added Fragrance is the principal demerit.

Pros
  • DHHB + BEMT + EHT delivers next-generation UVA/UVB
  • Multiple HA forms plus niacinamide and adenosine
  • Iron-oxide tint contributes visible-light coverage
  • No oxybenzone, octinoxate, or 4-MBC
Cons
  • Contains Fragrance, lowering the sensitivity score
  • TiO2-led tint may not match deeper undertones
  • Heavily layered cream can feel rich on oily skin

Who it's for: Korean-formulation enthusiasts who want a modern-filter, hydrating tinted tone-up cream and accept a fragrance ingredient.

03 At-a-glance facts
Protection
Filter type Mineral filters (zinc oxide, titanium dioxide) sit on skin and reflect UV. Chemical filters absorb UV. Hybrid blends both.
Hybrid
Broad spectrum Protects across both UVA and UVB ranges. UVA causes aging and deeper damage; UVB causes burns.
Yes
Formulation & feel
Texture How the formula feels at application — milk, gel, cream, spray, stick, essence, lotion, powder, or cushion.
Cream
Finish How the formula looks on skin once dry: matte, natural, dewy, or glowy.
Natural
Tinted Adds sheer pigment (iron oxides) that masks the white cast common to mineral filters and gives a skin-tone finish.
Yes
Fragrance-free No synthetic perfume added. Not FDA-defined in the US; the EU requires 'Parfum' + the 26 named allergens on the label. 'Unscented' differs — may contain masking fragrance. Botanical oils still scent.
No
Alcohol-free No drying short-chain alcohols (alcohol denat., SD alcohol, ethanol). Does not refer to fatty alcohols like cetyl or stearyl alcohol, which are emollients.
Yes
