Tone me up!

Sooooooo, I am slightly intrigued with the idea of a tone up cream...and I want to jump on the bandwagon! I know it's an innovation coming out of Asia so I'm wondering if there are any that will work for my medium dark skin tone. Place your recommendations below. For reference, I have normal, acne-prone skin and prefer a soft matte finish. I look for hydrating ingredients and primarily those that can address hyperpigmentation issues as well. Thanks in advance, lovelies!

Sadly I don’t see tone up cream targeted for darker skin tones. It’s popular in Asia (by that I mean the pale Asians sorry 😓) because the peachy colour kind of offsets and brighten yellow undertones. But all the tone up creams I’ve seen only come in pale and paler, it leaves a white cast even on pale skin. So I wouldn’t recommend it for darker skin tones. Maybe a BB cushion would be better? It serves to blur the skin and give spf too, EM cosmetics has a pretty good range for example.

I tried a tone up cream and I didn't like it because it made my skin whiter. I'm not pale but I'm not dark either. I use a mineral/chemical sunscreen and it leaves a little white cast so with the tone up cream and my sunscreen, I looked quite white. I guess it would be ok if you wore foundation but I don't.

Thanks for sharing. I guess I'll have to wait until they consider catering to more skin tones.

I wanna try that too, but having a slightly brown skin tone, I feel like it will look like a white cast on me. Maybe I'll try some recos from this discussion

Tbh I always thought tone up creams were an excuse for companies to excuse their white casts, like in “tone up” SPFs for example.
