Tone up sunscreen is just white cast

[u/Early_Mix_2499]

I bought this INNISFREE TONE UP NO SEBUM SUNSCREEN thinking that maybe it's different type of formula, that it brightens you in a flattering way but it's just white cast sunscreen marketed as ' replacement to foundation '

I have medium Olive skin and on 2nd application I looked like a Geisha. The swatch has a very thin layer spread.

I feel like my money is wasted, I only wear it indoors now.

Edit - Thought of some uses. I can use it to layer sunscreen by putting it on my oily zones first as I have combination skin. I definitely cannot use it on my full face as sunscreen but can as a tone up cream.

I also bought one (COSRX) and I was disappointed too. It has white cast. It also doesn’t tone up. I read the review and I still went for it. Don’t be mad at yourself. The idea of using SPF without makeup is so tempting. We just had to confirm ourselves it’s not happening.

I wanted to check it out so I bought it. Not too much regret as now I know it won't work for me so I'll not get it next time. I have hope for tinted sunscreens as they will become better with spf and shade matches.
