I've been going foundation-free, and this brightening moisturizer hasn't caused any blemishes or skin issues!
ConsFor combination skin, it can leave a slightly greasy finish, so powder is a must. The scent is incredibly strong and unpleasant. Also, it tends to pill when applied with fingers, so using a puff is necessary for smooth application.

It absorbs quickly without any stickiness, making it perfect for rushed mornings. What I loved most was how evenly it spreads, even when hastily applied with fingers. ★ Skin appearance ★★★★★ True to its name 'foundation-free', it evens out skin tone naturally and uniformly. It's not heavy at all and gives that coveted Inner Glow look. Works great as a base before makeup too. Even my husband uses it for a natural brightening effect! ★ Hydration ★★★★★ The hydration is excellent. My husband, who has dry skin, used it and felt comfortable all day without any deep dryness. I have oily skin and noticed a slight richness, but it's still hydration-focused, perfect for combating dehydration. You might not even need an extra moisturizer. ★ Gentleness ★★★★★ I have sensitive skin, but experienced no irritation at all. No eye stinging either, which was really satisfying. It feels so gentle that even super sensitive skin types should be able to use it without issues. ★ Portability and design ★★★★★ The clean, slim tube packaging is great for carrying in a makeup pouch. It's easy to control the amount, making it convenient to use.
ConsSince I have oily skin, there's a slight shine. It's a bit of a hassle having to finish with powder, but for my dry-skinned husband, the hydration was perfect.
TipHighly recommended for those seeking a hydrating sun cream! The foundation-free skin finish and lightweight feel are really impressive. It's especially perfect for dry or combination dehydrated skin. With its gentle formula and natural brightening effect, it's an all-in-one daily sun cream that's sufficient on its own.

ConsUnfortunately, it has almost no coverage and feels quite rich on the skin.

True to its 'foundation-free' claim, it evens out my skin texture just enough that I don't need makeup for casual outings or trips to the library when I don't have any plans. It works well for me since I have dry to very dry skin with some oiliness in the T-zone, making it difficult to use sunscreens specifically for dry or oily skin types. While I don't think its sun protection function is exceptional, it's perfect as a daily facial sunscreen for makeup-free days, so I'm considering repurchasing.
ConsI have dry to very dry skin with some oiliness in the T-zone. When my skin is extremely dry, there can be flaking on my cheeks and chin. The sunscreen tends to pill on oily areas like my chin and nose. Those with extremely oily or dry skin should probably avoid this. It's hard to categorize it as for oily or dry skin specifically - it's more suitable for those with slightly oily to slightly dry skin. I wouldn't recommend it if you're looking to solve skin concerns through sunscreen. If I lightly scratch my forehead with my nail, it leaves a mark, causing the sunscreen to suddenly clump in the middle of my forehead. Considering this happens even when applying with a puff, not fingers, I think those with oily skin might experience transfer. It has a noticeable scent - not a fragrance, but an odor that might bother those sensitive to smells when applying. It's strongest at first, but you get used to it after application. Not recommended as a pre-makeup sunscreen.
TipIt's perfect for days when you're going out without plans to meet others (like to the library or grocery shopping), when you're too lazy to put on makeup, or as a school sunscreen! Recommended if you're looking for a 'foundation-free' product! However, it's hard to find significant advantages beyond the 'foundation-free' aspect.

It's convenient because it applies smoothly with just your hands, no other tools needed. It's great that this single sun cream can cover some blemishes and redness, and most importantly, it brightens the complexion nicely. I reach for it often when I need to go out but don't want the heaviness of foundation. Also, unlike the regular sun cream which really emphasized dead skin cells, this one doesn't do that much at all thanks to its moisturizing properties, which I love!
ConsIt's fine right after application, but as time passes, it gets super oily... I'm worried it might cause blemishes if left on too long. It's essential to set it with powder after applying, and use blotting papers occasionally throughout the day...
TipSince it's a brightening moisturizer, don't squeeze it directly onto your face. Instead, dispense some onto the back of your hand, then dot it onto your face before blending. This helps control the amount and allows for a beautiful skin finish.

Let me introduce you to my troublesome skin: 1. Dark circles worse than Fu Bao's (hard to cover even with concealer) 2. Acne scars on my cheeks 3. Blackheads on my nose 4. Redness around the nose Writing this out is making me anxious. Anyway, back to the main point: For the dark circles (I'm a chronic sinusitis sufferer, so they're here to stay), I've always been self-conscious on days when I didn't want to do a full face of makeup. Then I met this foundation-free sunscreen and wow! My eyes have been opened! While it doesn't cover perfectly, it brightens so well that with just a dab of liquid concealer (an amount I'd never usually use), it's like someone turned on a spotlight under my eyes. I look radiant! As for points 2-4, it's just perfect coverage. I'm running out of words - just buy it, period. I recommend this foundation-free sunscreen to those looking for: • A product with high coverage • A lightweight product • A product that doesn't settle into fine lines or emphasize wrinkles • A product with good staying power
ConsThere's a slight oiliness visible. But then again, it can look like a pretty glow, so I use it without powder. However, for those with oily skin, I recommend using powder!
TipPersonally, I prefer applying sunscreen with my hands! This way, it absorbs into the skin without pilling, thanks to the warmth of your hands. Apply it all over your face with your hands, then pat it in with a puff sprayed with Avene mist, and you're done! + I recommend applying concealer after the foundation-free sunscreen! By only applying a small amount to areas not covered by the sunscreen, you can achieve a thin and clean skin look.

It's a rather ambiguous sunscreen. They ask for at least 20 characters, but I don't have much to say.
ConsThe absorption isn't particularly good... Unlike foundation, I prefer sunscreens that give that bright, milky look when evening skin tone, but this one falls short in that aspect. After applying, I used 4 blotting papers and it still didn't absorb all the excess oil, yet my skin feels deeply dry... It's maddening... I just tried it for the first time today, but I'm already considering throwing it away.

I love the color. It's moisturizing, so it keeps my skin hydrated. As someone with combination dehydrated skin, I'm really pleased with it.
ConsUse this in winter rather than summer. It tends to make your skin look a bit too shiny.
TipI recommend buying this when it's on sale.

When choosing a sunscreen, my top priority is always whether it applies smoothly with a moisturizing feel. My skin type is acne-prone and oily. It applies with a natural brightening effect, and even when it breaks down, it's not very noticeable. During my vacation, I found it so convenient and nice to just apply this lightly and draw my eyebrows before heading out.
ConsThere's a slight rich feeling that comes through, but it disappears with a quick dab of oil-absorbing sheets, leaving behind a beautiful skin-like glow. I didn't really have any major complaints.

ConsAs time passes, it becomes a bit oily. The scent can be a bit overwhelming when applying.
