Dullness & dark spots

Key actives

Chemical filters, rice extract, grain ferment · 50ml

Why it’s here: The sunscreen that made the brand global: SPF50+ PA++++ at around ₩15,000, with filters that sit lighter than most mineral formulas.

The downside: Chemical filters can sting sensitive eyes, and it is a thin sunscreen layer rather than a moisturising one, so dry skin will want a cream under it.

Key actives

Niacinamide 10%, zinc PCA 1% · 30ml

Why it’s here: Ranked in the tally with two staff picks; the cheapest way to try niacinamide at scale.

The downside: 10% is high — it stings a fair number of people. If you are new to niacinamide, 2–5% is the safer start.
