Sunscreen

☀️

No white cast, light textures

Korean sunscreens are popular abroad because the chemical filters available in Korea feel lighter and leave less white cast than many US mineral formulas. Look for SPF50+ PA++++, and reapply every two to three hours outdoors — the rating assumes far more product than most people apply.

Beauty of Joseon

Relief Sun: Rice + Probiotics SPF50+ PA++++

조선미녀 릴리프 선

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.

₩12,000–₩18,000
