Tone ups are specifically made to provide a tint (usually pink, peach, beige or even lilac) that evens out and brightens the skintone. They look and blend better on the skin. Whereas whitecast seems to just sit on the skin and can be hard to blend. They also look harsher due to the white base as opposed to the soft coloured tints in tone up spfs
Tone up can translate to whitecast on a lot of people because it's just too light on most skintones 😅 The whitening effect is too obvious. Those who aren't familiar with the term will say it's whitecast.
Tone up is intentionally thought out when creating the formula but whitecast isn't, it's like a flaw, an unintended side effect basically

This is a great explanation. I have just recently started experimenting with tone up spf. My skin tone is about as pale as possible, which makes me a little on the fortunate side in regards to “typical” whitecast. I have one that has a beautiful, perfect finish but is too drying for regular use. So as in any other skincare and ingredients, I think “tone up” is going to vary based in skin tone and skin condition / needs. More trial and error.

As far as my experience with using several sunscreen products and tone ups on my tan skin, usually if the product has a white cast, my skin color will look grayish, but tone up is not so, the tone up product only raises the skin tone slightly so it doesn't look gray, it looks bright and fresh.

That makes sense to me! But in all those promotions I definitely saw a white cast because the skin just looked white in a non natural way. Thank you for your explanation 😊

'Tone up' effect varies according to people preferences. For me, I like sunscreen that has 'tone up' effect that can even up my skintone. I relate tone up with tone correcting. Usually I prefer one that has some pink undertone, since I like how it gives the 'liveliness' feel to my face🤣
White cast on the other hand, makes your skin appears to be covered with a white film. So, the skin you apply sunscreen with whitecast will seemingly to be 'whiter' that your original skin tone. It does nothing to tone correcting.
Luckily for me, I have a fair skintone, so I generally don't mind any whitecast.

I never thought that tone up products could even out skin tone! In those promotions I have seen, there definitely seemed to be a white film on the skin, which is what confused me! Thank you so much for explaining! 🥰

There’s always a white cast when you use spf with zinc oxide.
