How to Use TMR’s Advanced Brightening Cream: Your Daily Barrier + Radiance Routine
Advanced Brightening Cream is a lightweight, hydrating moisturizer designed for your morning skincare routine. While it is not labeled as a sunscreen in the U.S., it was originally developed and sold in Korea as a daily brightening sun cream. With brightening actives like arbutin and skin-calming ingredients like aloe extract, it offers essential daytime protection against environmental stressors like dryness, pollution, and blue light.
Step-by-Step: How to Apply TMR Advanced Brightening Cream
- Cleanse Your Skin: Start your morning with a gentle yet thorough cleanse using TMR Facial Cleanser. This helps remove overnight impurities and preps your skin for better product absorption.
- Apply Toner (Optional): If you use a toner, apply it after cleansing to help balance your skin's pH and prep it for the next step.
- Apply Brightening Cream: Take a pearl-sized amount of TMR Advanced Brightening Cream and apply it to your face and neck. Gently spread it using upward, outward strokes. Focus on areas that tend to get dry or where you want to enhance brightness, like the cheeks and forehead.
- Let It Set: Wait 1–2 minutes for the cream to fully absorb into your skin before applying makeup or other daytime products. The non-sticky, fast-absorbing texture makes it ideal as a base under makeup.
Tips for Best Results
- Use the cream as the final step of your morning skincare routine to help seal in moisture and protect your skin throughout the day.
- For optimal brightening results, use consistently every morning. Over time, you’ll notice improved clarity and reduced uneven tone.
- If layering with sunscreen, apply sunscreen after the cream once it’s fully absorbed (if applicable for certain U.S. users).
Common Questions
Q: Can I use this cream instead of a sunscreen?
A: While originally sold in Korea as a sunscreen/moisturizer hybrid, U.S. regulations prevent us from labeling it as such. However, it contains microfine titanium dioxide, which offers a degree of environmental barrier protection.
Q: Can I use it with makeup?
A: Absolutely. Its lightweight, non-greasy texture makes it an excellent base for foundation or BB cream. It helps your makeup apply more smoothly and last longer.
Q: Is this suitable for sensitive skin?
A: Yes. With soothing ingredients like aloe extract and a non-irritating formula free of harsh alcohols or parabens, it’s safe for most skin types—including sensitive or easily reactive skin.
Q: Should I use this every morning?
A: Yes, for best results. Daily use helps support long-term skin clarity, hydration, and protection from external stressors.
