It applies smoothly and feels moisturizing, which is great for quickly getting ready in the morning. I don't have many blemishes, so I'm not too concerned about coverage, but it does provide some - not as much as foundation, but enough. I use this instead of foundation and just add concealer for my dark circles, and I don't need any other base products.
ConsI loved using this product in summer, so I continued using it this winter. In summer, I'd just apply toner and serum before sunscreen, which worked fine. But in winter, when I apply moisturizer first, this product pills terribly. I thought it might be my moisturizer, so I tried it with different ones, but the pilling persisted. It's especially bad if I apply it a while after moisturizing - it pills as I'm applying it. If I apply it immediately after moisturizer, it goes on fine, but starts pilling as soon as I touch my face later. If it weren't for the pilling, I'd keep using it, but it's just not suitable for winter when I need to use moisturizer.

Despite being a sunscreen, it gives such a beautiful complexion that it looks like I'm wearing foundation - and it's foundation-free!
ConsTo be honest, I bought this for quick and easy application on busy days, but I'm disappointed that it cracks and pills if I skimp even a little on skincare. Also, both my mom and I use this, and we've noticed an unpleasant smell that makes us hesitant to apply it to our faces.

It's hydrating and absorbs well. However...
ConsSatisfaction varies greatly depending on skin condition. If you have a lot of dead skin cells, it pills when applied. It's satisfying when skin is in good condition without flakiness, but otherwise... sigh.
TipFor those with good skin, it's hydrating and evens skin tone well, so there shouldn't be major issues using it. Not recommended for skin with many blemishes and excess dead skin cells!

I love how easily it spreads and absorbs.
ConsWhen you rub it in, it can pill a bit like dead skin cells. There's a slight feeling of heaviness on the skin.

It's a sunscreen that truly lives up to its 'foundation-free' name. Even when applied in the recommended amount, it creates a stunningly beautiful skin appearance. It covers skin discoloration and adds a subtle glow, giving you a natural, honey-like complexion. I always use this on important days. Will definitely repurchase.
ConsWhile it's good that they didn't use artificial fragrances, the scent is the worst I've experienced among sunscreens. If you apply too much skincare underneath, it pills like dead skin cells. Also, if you try to layer anything on top of this sunscreen, it pills in the same way.

It's incredibly hydrating, which significantly reduces the main drawbacks of brightening moisturizers with SPF - caking and dryness. It feels moisturizing, making it perfect for winter use. I think it's reasonably priced, and the pink packaging is cute too. It's comfortable to use without causing blemishes, itching, or burning sensations, which makes me think Manyo Factory products are better than I expected.
ConsI used to love the Dalba brightening moisturizer with SPF, but I switched for winter. At first, I regretted the change because the brightening effect was weak, but I guess that's because it's the moisture version. It pills badly, like dead skin cells, so I have to wipe it off completely and reapply around lunchtime. While it's rich in hydration, when I tried making a DIY cushion with it, it had a bit of an odor... Unfortunately, it also causes eye discomfort. My eyes hurt a lot by nighttime.

Cons- Tends to pill in areas where the mask touches the skin - May cause slight darkening, so it's best used with other base products

Despite this, I trust and use various Manyo Factory products like emulsions, toners, foam cleansers, and oils. I was lucky enough to be selected as one of The Hwahae Testers and tried the Fade-Free Sun Cream Moisture! Firstly, it's incredibly hydrating. It feels light and moisturizing, just like applying a hydrating cream. Secondly, it evens skin tone naturally. Unlike some sunscreens that can leave a white cast, this one blends seamlessly, giving a natural and beautiful finish that looks like my own complexion. Moreover, it's vegan-certified and has passed human skin irritation tests, which made me feel even more confident using it.
ConsWell... when I applied it over my moisturizer, it sometimes pilled like dead skin cells... It seems I need to apply a thinner layer of skincare products underneath.

I have sensitive skin, but it didn't cause any blemishes after use, so I think I can apply it without worry. As you can see in the photo, it has a nice hydrating feel, which makes it perfect for seasonal transitions! As for brightening, since it's a foundation-free product, it evens out the skin tone but doesn't cover blemishes. It's ideal for light outings when you want a natural look.
ConsLike other reviewers mentioned, even though I applied it quite a while after my skincare routine (which I did thoroughly), it still pilled like dead skin cells. Such a shame!
TipFor reference, I have a complexion around shade 22, and it brightened my skin to the level you see in the photo! You can think of it as a hydrating sunscreen that also evens out your skin tone. To avoid pilling, I recommend applying a very thin layer using just a small amount.

When I first heard the name, I thought it might be matte since it's foundation-free, but it applies quite moisturizing! Brightening Effect While it doesn't provide coverage, it does brighten! Rather than a whitening effect, it's more like my complexion looks a shade lighter...? For quick trips out, I just apply this sunscreen alone and I'm good to go~ Vegan-Friendly My skin tends to be quite sensitive, and even one wrong sunscreen can cause blemishes. Seeing that this is a vegan sunscreen, I felt 50% more at ease using it! Packaging The case shape is convenient to carry in any pouch. Above all, I love that it's pink - my favorite color! The outer packaging box was also quite unique.
ConsThinking it would be matte, I applied too much skincare and didn't let it absorb fully before applying the sunscreen, which caused it to pill and come off like dead skin cells. There's no need for that since the sunscreen is sufficiently moisturizing! Occasionally it pills a bit, and since it has a brightening effect, I don't use it as a base for makeup. I prefer to use it on its own.
TipAs mentioned above, just make sure your skincare is well-absorbed before applying, and you're good to go!
