FRUDIA TONE UP BASE SUN CREAM SPF50+

Today I am exciting to review a Korean sunscreen from the brand Frudia. Frudia is a well-known Korean skincare brand that specializes in creating Korean beauty products using skin-loving ingredients derived from cold-pressed fruits.

Frudia Tone Up Base Sun Cream SPF50+ provides broad-spectrum protection from the sun's harmful rays while instantly brightening skin tone. It's formulation with a blend of natural ingredients, including glutathione, niacinamide, and pearl powder, helps to improve the skin's radiance and elasticity. 

What I love most about Frudia Tone Up Base Sun Cream is that it's a dual-purpose beauty product. It is a sun cream with a high SPF that can also be used as a makeup primer.

MY OPINION

Frudia Tone Up Base Sun Cream SPF50+ has a slightly thick creamy texture that spreads smoothly on the skin without forming clumps. The product leaves a whitish cast but turns transparent and clears in a minute. Its texture is easily absorbed into the skin, without leaving a greasy film and has a semi-matte almost matte finish.

As soon as I put it on my face it brighten my skin tone. It also made my skin imperfections and blemishes less noticeable. My skin tone was noticeable more even and  my skin had a healthy youthful glow. I am really amazed how my skin looks glowing and healthy even without make-up. However, after 4-5 hours my face started to look oily. Therefore, if you have an oily skin type, I would suggest using a setting powder or a mattifying powder after applying the suncreen.

Another advantage is that you only need to use a small amount of product. A pea size was enough to cover my entire face.

Lastly, for just 7-9 euros you get a sunscreen and makeup primer all in one product. Frudia Tone Up Base Sun Cream SPF50+ cost me 7 euros on the Notino app. 

If you're into it, this is definitely a great sunscreen to add to your daily skincare routine.
