"One of my all-time favorite sunscreens, which I discovered in 2025, comes from Anua, a Korean brand that has a sunscreen formulated for the US market. It [...] doesn't have all the filters you might get in a sunscreen [...] bought from Korea, but this formula is amazing. It's super lightweight, very hydrating, not greasy, and doesn't burn or sting around the eyes. It's SPF 50 and water resistant for 80 minutes. [...] It's one of the best facial sunscreens that has come out in the past couple of years in the US market. As far as the aesthetics and performance, it looks great, it's easy to apply, and it doesn't sting for me at least."

"Anua made this sunscreen with a zero white cast claim, and on TikTok they apply a lot on the face and it's still okay. I tried a lot of it out and yeah, no white cast, but the point is sunscreen is oil, so even for me it was too oily and I couldn't even do makeup over it. If you have oily skin in tropical weather I don't think you'll like it, but in Korean winter, if you have dry mature skin, you'll like this, and it's kind of cute and small. It's a chemical sunscreen though, so some people can react if they're allergic or sensitive. I would say it's okay, but I'm not going to repurchase it, because whatever I pick, other sunscreens are like this, so there's no reason to pick this one particularly."

"I used a very lightweight sunscreen today, the Anua sunscreen. It doesn't feel heavy and it's easy to remove."
