"Glow by Ramon released this sunscreen stick with Beauty of Joseon around the time of my original video. I had no idea this was happening. He mentioned that he tweaked the formula to get more payout, and my testing does show that. This was actually the first stick where I managed to hit the labeled SPF, but to get there, it took about a minute and a half of swiping it on my face."

"I also carry the Beauty of Joseon Matte Sun Stick, the same one you saw me with last summer, and I am on another one this summer. I like to use it on the tops of my hands especially, and on any exposed areas that need more sunscreen like my legs."

Ranking 20 Top Selling Products at Olive Young!

"My number nine pick is the Beauty of Joseon Matte Sun Stick. I really like it. I think what makes it unique and why it's selling so well is because it claims to be matte and it delivers on that promise. So many sunscreens are very dewy, very shiny. It's really hard to find something that doesn't have too much of a finish or is actually matte, and I think that this really does the trick. Sun sticks I like, I think they're very handy for reapplication. They're great for going over makeup."

"Beauty of Joseon Matte Sun Stick, I really like this. When it was first released I gave it a very favorable positive review, especially because I feel like there's not that many matte sunscreens on the K Beauty market. I think that this is unique in that it claims that it's matte and it actually does deliver on a matness to this, there's not really a shininess, which is great. I do also feel like this sidesteps the pitfalls that many sun sticks fall into where they can get a little waxy, they can get a little balmy and a little thick on the skin, and while that can be good it also just cannot feel cute. I really like the airiness of this, the dry touchness of this sunstick. It's a really interesting texture that feels amazing on the skin, and if you're looking for something matte, definitely this is a great one."

5 Ways to Reapply Sunscreen Over Makeup (The Honest Guide)

"This is a chemical sunscreen using the all-new-generation chemical filters, offering SPF 50+ PA++++ protection. It has a lot of the same convenience factor as sun packs because it's a solid stick, so it's really convenient for carrying in a pocket or in a purse. I carry this in my purse and have been doing so for at least -- this is my third summer doing that, and I actually just got a fresh stick. I absolutely love using this for the tops of your hands when you're driving. You don't think about your hands a lot when it comes to sunscreen, but when you're driving, the UV is coming in through the windows and hitting the tops of your hands. I can feel the heat, I can feel my skin just soaking up all the damaging UV, so I do like to make sure my hands are covered."

"The Beauty of Joseon Matte Sun Stick is clumpy, thick, and does not apply very easily. It does not reapply very nicely over products. I wish I had better news for you, but I'm trying to finish it up and it's painstaking. I just hate the thought of things going to waste."

"This product is the only one that I can comfortably apply on my face because it doesn't give me that like lip balm feel all over my face. It actually feels like there's no shininess or glow to it because this is also made for oily skin in mind. It gives that like beautiful kind of powdery finish but it's very comfortable on your skin. So I've been really enjoying this. During the development process I was like I need it more matte and they're like you have oil soluble actives in here that are making it oilier so we took those out. There's a lot of powder mattifiers in there but if you have deeper skin those powder mattifiers can leave a white cast if you don't rub it in afterwards and part of the incentive of a sunstick is you don't have to rub it necessarily so that is something to note. It's not the most white cast free on very deep skin for those who are worried about that."

"The Beauty of Joseon Matte Sun Stick changed my life, not even joking. Coming from someone who has used many sunscreens where I get so frustrated afterwards because my skin looks greasy, it looks shiny, white cast, heavy, pasty, when I first used this one I was like, how does my skin look better? Like it looks more balanced. It truly feels invisible. I probably over apply this because when I rub it across my skin I'm like, I genuinely can't see if it's there. It works so well. And if you're someone with oily skin you will definitely love this one. The difficult part about sunscreen comes down to reapplication and being able to just swipe swipe and go. With this product it's so easy because it really is invisible. It's crazy."

"This right here is titled the Matte Sun Stick with mugwort and chamelia and let me say this is the most mattifying sunstick I've literally ever used. I am an oily babe, look at how this cuts down the grease on my cheeks, look at how this literally cuts down the grease on my nose. If you're dry you're going to hate this, but if you loved the Purple Protector you are going to love this. If you're oily this is like a dream come true, forget blotting sheets, you don't need blotting sheets anymore, you just swipe this on. It has mugwort and chamelia, both of those are great antioxidants. Mugwort is actually used in Korea for blemish-prone skin, and at the very best it's wonderful for blemishes and hormone balance."

"It has chemical filters that protect against both UVA and UVB. It includes avobenzone and octinoxate, which are great UVA and UVB filters. It also contains silica powder that helps absorb sebum, creates a pore-blurring and mattifying finish. It's airy, it's lightweight, helps add photo protection while mattifying your skin at the same time. Really great for those with oily or combination skin that are seeking a light mattifying finish, helping to protect their skin at the same time while reducing that shiny greasy look. This is also fragrance and essential oil free, so suitable for those with sensitive skin as well."
