What the gurus are saying

This sunscreen's shiny, silicone-like primer finish divides gurus: some praise it as a flawless makeup base, while others dislike the shine or object to the added fragrance. The lightweight, fast-drying texture wins fans, though opinions split on how noticeable the scent is.

"I love everything about it except the scent. It's very strong."

"This is a little bit shiny for my liking yeah if you couldn't see the texture on my forehead that I'm struggling with and like the breakouts you can definitely see them now yeah I don't know about this one which is kind of a shame"

"It's more gel and lightweight than the Round Lab Birch Juice sunscreen. [...] There is some denatured alcohol in here that really helps to keep this incredibly light. It dries super fast on the skin, which is incredibly appealing for a lot of folks. They're also using some essential oils, which I've already covered, not an ingredient for me. I just kind of put this in the middle of the pack because I respect why people like this. I know a lot of people I've given away a lot of my sample products and [...] I've given this sunscreen away a lot, and all I ever hear back is how great it is."

"This release was met with so much criticism because a lot of what people including myself were enjoying about Beauty of Joseon is that it was a very low irritant option, they avoided fragrance and essential oils, and then they came out with this sunscreen with essential oils in it, which was very confusing. It took me months to work up the nerve to try it, but I got it in and I love it so much. The reason I love it so much is because it's almost like the perfect primer, it's that new formula so there is truly no white cast, but it has that kind of silicone like feel, it feels like a primer. You can apply two full finger lengths of this to your face and get SPF 50 plus PA plus plus plus plus coverage and the most beautiful primer effect as well. I'm somebody with a bit more sensitivity and this is going great for me. It really just smells like nothing, it's bizarre, it smells like nothing. Yes, this is my favorite product from Beauty of Joseon."
~Yay
"When you put it on the skin and it's very it's very shiny and radiant when you first put it on"
~Mixed
"This isn't bad but I don't like fragrance in my sunscreens I can definitely smell the aroma to this and it looks the same"
