Waterfull Tone-Up Sunscreen Serum BROAD SPECTRUM SPF 50 + Korean Sunscreen for Face, All Skin Tones (1.69 fl.oz.)

I am absolutely in love with this product! Being very, very pale, I usually struggle to find any kind of tinted sunscreen that works for me, but this one matches my skin perfectly. When you first apply it, it looks tinted, but it quickly melts in and becomes one with your skin. It gives you this really elegant, pearlescent glow and helps tone down redness, which I appreciate so much. Because it is a serum consistency, it feels super light and soothing, not greasy at all. It also has such a lovely, light scent that makes applying it a joy. I usually wear it under my makeup, but honestly, it makes my skin look so pretty that I often wear it on its own for a natural look. It is a little bit of a splurge, but thinking of it as a sunscreen, a glowy primer, and a light makeup base all in one makes it totally worth the money. I had trouble finding it in stock for a while, so I really hope they never stop making this gem!

no white cast. apply directly after your cream and it blends in seamlessly. feels silky as you rub it in then leaves a glow on the skin. but, i wouldn’t recommend waiting until your skincare dries before putting it on or you’ll be rubbing your face a lot longer. those who have really oily skin might have to avoid using this. it has a smell, it’s not strong but it’s a bit lemony (not in a chemically way).

I’ve been trying the d’Alba UV Essence Waterfull+ SPF 50+ lately, and I get why people like it — it’s just easy to use. The texture is really light. No heavy, greasy layer, no sticky finish — my skin just feels comfy and hydrated. It also has this soft, fresh citrusy scent. It’s not loud or perfumey, just a clean little “fresh” moment when you apply it, and then it disappears pretty quickly. And honestly, my favorite part: makeup goes on top of it really well. My foundation doesn’t slide around, it doesn’t pill, and everything looks smooth instead of patchy.

I've been using this sunscreen for a out 2 weeks now. Firt impressions: I love the smell. It's a delicate scent that smells clean and sweet. Secondly, I think it works great for those with oily or combination skin (depending on the day sometimes I am both types of skin). It doesn't leave an oily feel and stays a neutral shine if no makeup on top. However, the reason for my rating is due to the white cast it leaves. I have olive tone skin. I've even tried applying after a moisturizing spray to help with the blending but still a white cast is leftover. And while yes, you could cover up with makeup..but I prefer light weight foundation and don't like layering too much foundation just to cover up the white cast.

Amazing Sunscreen with a Natural Glow I absolutely love the d’Alba Piedmont Waterfull Tone-Up UV Essence SPF 50+. It has a very lightweight texture that absorbs quickly and doesn’t feel greasy or heavy on the skin. What I like the most is the tone-up effect — it gives my face a soft, natural pink glow that instantly makes my skin look brighter and more even.

I bought this to use in the dry winter months. I have combo skin. I liked the formula, there was no white cast, and it wasn’t sticky. However, I found that it was too moisturizing for me. I have a pretty involved skincare routine and my skin was looking too wet after using this following my moisturizer. HOWEVER, I’ve been trying to get my husband to wear daily sunscreen for literal years. He’s only willing to rub one thing onto his face after cleansing. Luckily, he loves this. It moisturizes enough that he doesn’t feel dry and provides a good dose of SPF. He likes the fragrance. He’s really bothered by the traditional sunscreen smell. He says this smells like the blue fruity tootsie rolls from our childhood. So this didn’t work for me, but it still solved a problem!

I used the old version of both Mild and Tone Up sunscreens, the ones that are made for Korean market. Now that they are reformulated for US markets, I'm super disappointed. I'm going to break down for each sunscreen. Also, both old versions were called Sun Cream, and the new ones have Sunscreen on the tube, If you need to see the difference visually just by looking at the packaging. MILD MINERAL VERSION: The old version had only titanium dioxide, and was very hydrating and left my skin glowing for the whole day. And I have dry skin, so I enjoyed having that healthy hydrated look. The new formula has changed, and it has 19% of zinc oxide now. I was hoping it still had the same glow but with different sunscreen filters, but I was very wrong. The sunscreen became just one of many similar Korean sunscreens that is thicker than it used to be, though it goes on easily, but takes some time to absorb. If you have fair skin like me, it won't leave any obvious white cast. If you have darker skin, I think it might leave some white cast because it has so much zinc oxide now. Initially it leaves your skin with a satin look, definitely not glowing. I was hoping the satin look will stay for the rest of the day, but it only lasted for an hour or so. And now my skin looks matte. It doesn't look dry in an unhealthy way at first, but by the evening my skin starts drying out and flaking more than usual. I think there are other Korean products for dry skin that contain zinc oxide but still give you a healthy glow, though nothing gave me that glow that I had with the older version. TONE UP HYBRID VERSION: I'm bummed that they changed it. The older one was also a hybrid like the new one, but it applied like a dream, didn't leave any white cast, just added some pink look for a while until it absorbed, and then it just looked normal. It also kept my skin hydrated and glowing for the whole day. I got so scared that the mild version has been reformulated, that I went ahead and ordered a few tubes of the pink one. Well, you know what? They changed it too!!! Now they changed all Korean filters to American ones, and the sunscreens are totally ruined. The pink one goes on like a white paste, it leaves my skin white, my dry skin looks terrible with super large flakes coming off if I didn’t prep with lots of moisturizer and facial oil. The old version acted like a moisturizer in itself. The new one gives some glow but not comparable to the previous version. The white cast is serious with this one. If you get it close to your hairline, the white will not go away. With time the whiteness will absorb somewhat, but I still look pale. I’m not sure what the point of this tone up effect is now that it just makes me look whiter than I am. And forget about trying to reapply during the day. I looked like a clown with white paint on my face. And I have fair skin, too. If you're coming from some horrible American sunscreen to this, you still might be impressed, but if you're comparing the old version with this one, that's not the same product. MY VERDICT ON BOTH VERSIONS: Can’t use them and had to order from Korea directly to get the original version. Thankfully, it’s still available there. Just make sure you’re buying from Korea, I made a mistake and ordered from Yesstyle, and didn’t realize they were in China. They sent me this American version instead of what I paid for, which was the Korean formula shown in their photos. Still fighting to get my money back, but they are refusing and claim it’s the exact same product but in a different packaging. Horrible experience. I got spoiled with the original formulas, and these ones are very mediocre and just like other American sunscreens minus the bad SPF smell, these still smell citrusy. If I wanted an American sunscreen, I’d buy one, but I want true Korean ones, which these ones are not anymore. I understand they had to comply with the outdated US sunscreen regulations (that haven’t been updated in decades) to be able to sell officially in US markets, but there’s a reason why Korean formulas are superior to everything else. Now they are not.

It does get the job done. It definitely tones up your face, and I'm trusting the sunscreen part. The only issue is that this TONES up your face, meaning if you put a dab of the cream, it's really pigmented and causes your face to be really white. Still, if you have red spots, it will neutralize them, not significantly like doing color correction, but enough to the point where if you put concealer over it, it would be enough. Not a bad product.
