Sun protection that brightens as it shields. Dr.Melaxin's Hydro Ceramic Tone Up Essence Sunscreen pairs SPF50+ PA++++ protection with a soft tone-up effect — a Korean tone-up sunscreen that leaves skin looking instantly brighter and more even, in a hydrating essence texture that stays comfortable all day.
Why a tone-up sunscreen doubles as a base
A tone-up formula lifts dullness and evens the look of your complexion the moment you apply — no foundation needed for a fresh, polished finish. It's SPF and light makeup base in one step. Compare styles in our Tinted & Tone-Up Sunscreen collection.
Who should use it — and who shouldn't
Perfect for makeup-free days that still want polish, and for anyone protecting a pigmentation routine — SPF is half the treatment with the TX or Picotonic lines. Honest note: tone-up formulas leave a subtle brightening veil that can read as a light cast on deeper skin tones — for a fully invisible finish, pick the Waterfull version.

How it fits your morning routine
Two finger-lengths as the last skincare step; let it set a minute before makeup; reapply every two hours of direct sun. Explore more Dr.Melaxin.

How to Use
1. As the last morning skincare step, apply two finger-lengths to face and neck.
2. Spread evenly — the tone-up effect appears as it sets.
3. Let it settle a minute before makeup, if wearing any.
4. Reapply every two hours of direct sun exposure.
Tip: pairs perfectly with the TX and Picotonic pigmentation lines — SPF is half of any brightening routine.
A tone-up sunscreen brightens and evens the look of your complexion on application — like a whisper of makeup base built into your SPF. Skin looks fresher and more polished without foundation.
Will it look white or ghostly on deeper skin tones?
Tone-up formulas leave a subtle brightening veil by design — on deeper skin tones this can read as a light cast. If you want fully invisible protection, the Waterfull Essence version is the safer pick.
Can I wear makeup over it?
Yes — the essence texture sits smoothly under cushion or foundation, and the tone-up effect means you may need less base than usual. Let it set a minute before makeup.
How much should I apply — and how often?
Two finger-lengths for face and neck as the last skincare step, then reapply every two hours of direct sun exposure. Under-applying is the most common sunscreen mistake.
Why is SPF essential with pigmentation care?
UV exposure drives the dark spots that brightening routines work to fade — without daily SPF50+, new pigment forms as fast as the old fades. If you use the TX or Picotonic lines, sunscreen is half the treatment.
