Daily Tinted Fluid Sunscreen SPF 40.

"When they announced they were launching a tinted sunscreen in a range of different shades, everybody got super excited. That's until they tried the product. Oh, this was a disaster. There wasn't a single shade in that entire collection that didn't leave people looking ashy or an unusual skin type. It just didn't sit well on anyone's skin tone. Any one of the shades, they just didn't work for anyone. Didn't matter what your skin tone was. You put this on and you look in the mirror and think, 'Yeah, it was giving distortion, white cast. It was giving like almost a blotchy appearance to the skin, too.' Absolute fail. People hated how thick the formula was and you couldn't reapply on top of itself. So, when it came to a reapplication, people just said, 'Well, it wasn't possible.' Everything that could go wrong with the sunscreen launch went wrong with this product. And it honestly baffles me that this passed testing that people signed off on this formula having used it. It was garbage."

"It's a tinted zinc oxide containing sunscreen. Technically, it's a hybrid sunscreen because it has octyl salicylate in it, a SPF booster. It does not have a heavy cast. It requires a bit of effort to spread on the skin and there's a bit of streakiness as you're putting it on in the beginning, but relative to mineral sunscreens in general, the spread is not too bad. It's a thin fluid. I love the tint on this. It comes in 12 shades. I was able to tolerate this around my eyes, no problem. The iron oxides may protect against visible light, namely HEV wavelengths, the blue light from the sun, which is a big driver for melasma, especially in medium to deep skin tones."

"The Beauty of Joseon Daily Tinted Fluid Sunscreen with Broadspectrum SPF 40 is definitely geared towards the US market. Zinc oxide is listed as an active ingredient but there's also butyloctyl salicylate which is a sneaky chemical sunscreen filter. It's so lightweight it's practically water and it's so thin it's really quite beautiful. You can apply a lot and just not really notice it. This works beautifully under makeup or just on its own which is what I tend to do. I find there to be barely any coverage, just enough of a tint to mask a white cast. There are 12 shades of this which is really nice, and because of the blendability of it I can use like three of these shades and it would match me well."

"They found a good balance between the tints, the undertones, the sheerness, and the zinc. I'm kind of leaning towards a six out of ten. I'm not over the moon about using this every single day because I am feeling some dryness. Denatured alcohol and zinc oxide are two ingredients that have historically, time after time, made my skin feel dry and dehydrated. The more I'm talking to you, the more I'm feeling it in my dry areas. It's not too bad, it's not super uncomfortable, but I didn't feel the drying until about the four-hour mark, so I was impressed that it didn't happen right away. If you're sensitive to denatured alcohol or a high percentage of zinc, you're going to feel it. Up close, you start to see the flaws, it's kind of settling into the lines, clinging to the dry patches, getting a little bit cakey, kind of breaking up."

"It is so sheer, so so sheer that the only tint I got was actually the whiteness from the zinc oxide side. It wasn't really anything tinty at all. And it peels like crazy. There's no playing around time with this. You have to put it on your skin, rub it in as little as possible, and then don't touch it. If you touch it, it clings to the dryness. I have very dry crevices and it was just clinging to them. I couldn't get it to work. I used primers, I used everything like extra hydration to try and get this to work around the area and it just didn't work. I gave this product way more time than I usually would, way more effort than I usually would for a product to the point where I was like this is getting ridiculous now. I shouldn't be having to put this much effort into getting a product to sit nicely on my skin."
