I've tried a few tone-up creams before and none have ever really worked well for me. They were either too pink or too white cast-y or, more often than not, broke me out within one or two uses because they clogged my pores. This one is really good! I've been using it for over a month now and it hasn't caused me any problems. I use this after my skincare and under my foundation. I only use very little foundation now because this cream satisfactorily brightens up my dull skin enough. On really lazy, good-skin days, I just throw this on top of my skincare and it's enough.

This cream gives a nice brightening effect that's not so fake, with one layer. If you apply two or more layers and have a deeper skin tone than NC15/No. 17 or such, it'll start to look a bit ashy and weird. This tone up cream is rather nicely hydrating and smooth though, unlike other tone-up creams, so it minimizes the ashy effect to an extent.

This cream's packaging is simple and no-nonsense, with a cute design on the tube. The scent is a little strong but thankfully fades quickly and does not irritate my sensitive skin. This is a good tone up cream and I might repurchase this if I don't find anything better ^^
