Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun: Rice + Probiotics SPF50+ PA++++
The sunscreen that introduced a generation to Korean SPF. An organic-filter formula — 유기자차 (yugi-jacha), the Korean term for chemical filters — with a serum-like slip, a dewy finish and no white cast on any tone. Rice extract and a probiotic ferment sit in the background; the reason to buy it is the texture, which is elegant enough that people actually reapply it. Rated SPF50+ PA++++ on the Korean system.
What it is built around
Who it suits
Dry, normal and combination skin, and anyone whose objection to sunscreen has always been how it feels. It doubles as a glowy makeup base. Oily skin often finds the dewiness tips into shine by midday, so a matte or gel formula suits better. The organic filters can sting sensitive eyes, so very reactive people should patch test first.
How to use it
Last step of the morning routine, before makeup, roughly two fingers' length for face and neck — most people use a third of that and get a fraction of the rated protection. Give it a quarter of an hour before sun exposure. Reapply every couple of hours outdoors, and after swimming or heavy sweating.
