A'PIEU Pure Block Tone Up Sunscreen Base SPF5 50ml | Tone-Up Reef Safe Korean Sunscreen for Makeup Base

I think this product works well.I get very freckley from the sun in summer and this has been preventing them.It has a good, subtle tone-up effect in a light shade of pink, so it is good for fair skinned cool toned girlies, I’m unsure about darker cool toned girls tho, I would assume not.It has a pleasant and subtle scent and feels pretty moisturizing.It leaves a slick texture that would be good for a natural glow if using alone, or would help with natural blend ability under makeups.

I've tried all of this brand's sunscreens and I think this one is my favorite. I don't like to wear a lot of makeup, so having a sunscreen that "tones up" is perfect. it definitely corrects tonal irregularities in my skin a looks so natural. there is definitely a white cast at first but dries down after 10 minutes or so. both photos were taken with flash 10 minutes apart.

its a really good sunscreen it moisturizes my skin really well and looks good under makeup and tones my skin HOWEVER it does peel a little bit like on the sides of my face and like curdle(?) a little but like its good but if ur not pale like me it has a STRONNGGG white cast thatd def be noticeable if ur not hella pale

Even with a good moisturizer this product clung to my dry patches and blemishes, left a heavy a white cast (which is probably the tone up effect), and pilled quite a bit even without anything on top of it.I really tried patting this into my skin, not using too much product, making sure my skin was exfoliated and as hydrated as possible but I just couldn’t get it to look good on me. Even on my very pale skin the white cast made me look sickly instead of even toned. Maybe the product could stand to be less thick and opaque and more liquid and sheer?I can see this maybe working for someone who doesn’t need to layer makeup over this, has very oily skin, and wants to have a pretty intense whitening effect on their face. Essentially someone with a skin type and goals very very different than mine. Even then I believe that for most people there are easier to work with options on the market.On the positive side this product didn’t have any bad smell, did not burn my skin, came in perfect condition, and was not irritating in any way.

TLDR- Everything worked well, however whether or not it leaves a noticable whitecast is up for debate.Overall, it did its job as a sunscreen, but regarding its extra abilities listed. Such as not giving a white cast, when first using, the color of the cream was more of a darker pink, and when spread on the skin, it's suddenly white. It definitely made my skin much paler, to the point I did feel like I looked ghostly white- I hadn't even used a whole finger length. It took about 15 minutes to see it start fading into my skin more naturally. Rubbing it in, it had an almost chalky like feeling to it, like most sunscreen creams when you've spread it. After an hour of being out with my friend, I asked their opinion, and they did say I looked much paler- but not sickly white, it just seemed I lost any tan I had. It definitely did a good job regarding a matte finish and absorbing any oils, throughout the day, I did not feel or see my face become visibly oiler, even after almost 12 hours of wear. Has a slight floral scent to it, my did did not breakout or become irritated, the cream did feel a little thick. Kinda did feel like an extra layer of skin, but I wasn't too bothered by it.

First, I’m on camera for work a lot as I WFH. I present to customers, to our executives and to other conpanies. I have a ring light on at all times as I can also be recorded for webinars. I use this as a primer and sunscreen. I’m abit on the light to medium skin tone and I use this on top of well moisturized skin. The white cast does go away. You have to prep and if you don’t you’re going to leave the poor reviews as I’ve read them here. This is my 5th bottle according to Amazon and it’s the best for work. It truly leaves a wonderful glass skin affect under a light touch of foundation, concealer and blush. On the weekends, I’ll use a Korean chemical sunscreen like Skin1004 or Roundlab.

The media could not be loaded. I bought this sunscreen because I usually use the one in the teal tube and it was out of stock, and this one claimed to be good under makeup and the reviews were amazing as well.I thought it would be like the other sunscreens but it's not. It's thick, leaves a cast on the skin, and for some reason was causing me to sweat profusely as if my skin was suffocating idk. It didn't cause any breakouts or give me any issues, but it's very heavily fragranced compared to the others and I hated it (I am usually sensitive to fragrance, and this one didnt hurt my skin but it was SO strong). I looked terrible and I couldn't apply makeup over it because it was shiny so I just decided to leave it and go. The pink cast never sunk in to my skin and I looked so weird all day. The other three tubed they sell (teal, purple, yellow) are all quite nice, and absorbed by the skin and do not leave a cast. I prefer the teal one, and then the yellow.I do not recommend this unless you are a pale skinned person with pink undertones and extremely dry skin.Other sunscreens from this brand I recommend instead:Get yellow if your skin is normal/dryGet teal if your skin is normal/oilyGet purple for water days at the beach and pool or if you sweat a lot or play sports in the sun.I included a video just to show why only certain skin shades should try this one (pink) out.

This product is perfect if you want a light feeling sunscreen. I like it a lot better than most of the sunscreens out there. A pleasant fragrance that is a lot better than the other sunscreens out there.
