What the gurus are saying

Dewy is the whole story here: this chemical sunscreen leaves a creamy, hydrating glow that dry and mature skin loves, especially in winter, and it goes on with no white cast and no sting. The split is oily skin. Some find it light enough for acne-prone skin, while others watched it turn shiny and greasy over the day and smudge mascara.

"This formula uses a skin brightening extract and soothing ingredients alongside probiotics for barrier support, with that dewy glass skin finish that made this brand famous. [...] It's super elegant, and if you're more combination, I think it's honestly one of the best daily wear SPFs in this lineup, both indoor or outdoors. The original formula is still excellent, though the Aquaresh version is just a step up from this one."

"This one is a little more oily than Round Lab, so it's better for dry or mature skin. It's affordable and performs great. This is an easy S tier."
Viral K-Beauty vs What Koreans Actually Use: Which is better? And Why?
"Compared to Round Lab, about 30% of the ingredients are similar, and if I do a blind test I honestly can't tell the difference. Both are great, I love both, just get whatever is on sale, or if you've only tried one, try the other, it's great. It feels amazing, so many people in my class ask me what sunscreen this is. Just keep in mind some people are allergic to the ingredients."
K-Beauty Classics vs Newbies: Which Is Better… AND WHY? 🔥
"This is the original Beauty of Joseon sunscreen. It's better for more oily combo skin because it just [...] feels like a moisturizer, though some people with oily combo skin or in tropical weather might find it a little too greasy. [...] I had my husband, who's more oily combo skin and hates anything sticky, try it out and he definitely loved it, it goes into the skin more quickly. So I think you can try it, I like this one a lot better."
Global No.1 vs Korea No.1 Skincare: Which is Better and Why?
"Beauty of Joseon and Round Lab are made by the same manufacturer, a lot of the ingredients, even the order, are similar, so when I tried them side by side I honestly couldn't tell much difference, I liked both. Some reviews say the original Beauty of Joseon version is too oily, they released a new version called Fresh that's actually better, no white cast, it's a beautiful sunscreen, great to wear before makeup."

"As a dry skin type, I love it and it's great under makeup. I highly recommend it if you have oily or combo skin, or if you live somewhere tropical, because the older version feels more oily while the newer one has a more watery, fresh texture. [...] I'm pretty sensitive about scent though, and I don't like the scent on the older one, it's a lot stronger than the new one."

"This blends so well, [...] it feels a little shiny for a few minutes and then it feels like nothing is there, so it works great under makeup and it's affordable enough to be a good gift. Compared to the other one, it is more resistant to water and friction so it lasts longer even during exercise and outdoor activities, and it has a rice extract that helps soothe my skin and protect my skin barrier. It blends in so well and is easy to reapply."

I tried TikTok most viral Korean skincare products…an honest review (Not sponsored)
"Whenever I use this sunscreen I can feel the alcohol in it, but I never thought it was a big deal. Makeup artists love to use it because it makes makeup application really smooth, it's a makeup friendly sunscreen, so I thought that was kind of standard. But I was surprised how many people brought up the alcohol, so be a little careful and cautious with it if that concerns you."

"It's a really nice moisturizing ring sunscreen, something I like a lot in the winter because it adds that little extra layer of moisture. It feels really creamy and nourishing but it's a very protective sunscreen too, without being very overwhelming. Yes, it's moisturizing, but for me personally I don't find it to be like that heavy thick greasy sunscreen layer. It just feels like a nice moisturizing layer on my skin."
Beauty of Joseon has a New Aqua Fresh Sunscreen... Better Than the Original Relief Sun?!
"I still really like the Relief Sun. I will often gravitate towards this in the colder months, in the winter months, when my skin needs every ounce of moisture it can get, and this feels amazing on my skin. But I often put it away for the warmer months because it's a little heavy in that situation. [...] If you're looking for something that's going to nourish dry skin, maybe be a little bit more protective in a colder climate, then the Relief Sun would be a great choice for you."

"This is a great sunscreen that I have been loving since 2021 since it came out. [...] Here with Beauty of Joseon they're actually using more of a medium moisturizing cream texture. It actually feels really good on the skin. It spreads really beautifully, a little creamy silky. It offers a nice kiss of moisture for the skin. A lot of folks actually like to use this in place of their moisturizer kind of skipping out on a few steps and saving some time and money."

"It's a sunscreen that feels really moisturizing. For folks who like to replace their moisturizer with their sunscreen, this is a really good one for that because it does offer a good amount of creamy moisture to the skin, and it can actually save a lot of time in the morning. I personally love it in the winter time because of that creamy moisture. I need every ounce of moisture that I can get on my skin, and our winters are [...] really harsh."

"It has rice and grain fermented extracts that are rich in vitamins C and E, it contains niacinamide, it has amino acids, minerals, glycerin.

"This is called the Relief Sun Rice and Probiotics SPF 50. I usually buy my Korean sunscreens from Stylevana and I didn't, I bought this off Amazon.

"I have oily skin, but as I get older, [...] the oiliness is starting to dwindle down a little bit. [...] I do appreciate when a sunscreen is very moisturizing. Also for my lifestyle, I really appreciate when a sunscreen is very moisturizing because that means I could skip my moisturizer and just do this, one step instead of two. It feels like there's nothing on, which I appreciate if the sunscreen can be moisturizing and not feel heavy at the same time. Hallelujah."

"This is supposed to be the matte version. And unfortunately, this didn't work out for me at all. It peeled under makeup. And on its own, it also just felt so drying. I thought it would be great. I mean, I do have dry skin, so I thought it would be great to have a sunscreen that was a little bit drier on those days when I want to use a heavier moisturizer, but honestly, this just didn't work out whether I used it by itself or under makeup.

Those are equally as good at skin soothing, calming, also great for skin barrier repair. So I think this is another wonderful choice if you are more interested in exploring some of those more traditional ingredients.

"You can also find green tea extract in one of my favorite sunscreens of all time, the Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun: Rice + Probiotics SPF 50. I recommend that sunscreen all the time. And although I did not specifically seek that sunscreen out or fall in love with it because it has that antioxidant, that is absolute bonus points."
Dermatologist's Favorite K-Beauty Sunscreens & Moisturizers (Korean Skincare Picks!) | Dr. Sam Ellis
"This was really the first sunscreen I ever tried that gave me that moment of like whoa sunscreen can be incredible because it's lightweight, it's moisturizing, there's no white cast on me, it doesn't aggravate my rosacea, and for that reason I feel like this is such a go-to recommendation not just for me but from so many people in the skincare community whether they're estheticians or dermatologists or creators. It's just fabulous."
Summer Skincare Empties: Tower 28, K18, Prequel, & More! | Dr. Sam Ellis
"I've run through the entire tube this summer. This was in my Holy Grail skincare last year and I still love it. So many of you have tried it and say this was the first sunscreen that made me love sunscreen. [...] The texture is incredible, it's just like a lightweight moisturizer. [...] For many people this is the first sunscreen they've ever tried that just feels like lotion on the skin. It doesn't feel heavy or sticky like traditional sunscreen and also doesn't have that sunscreen smell."
Dark Spots GONE: My Ultimate Routine for Hyperpigmentation & Radiant Glowing Skin | Dr. Sam Ellis
"This is from overseas. The reason I like Korean sunscreens so much is one, they have advanced UVA filters. So filters that we don't have access to in the United States that are superior and if you deal with hyperpigmentation, you are going to be more sensitive to UV than your average person. The other reason I like these products is a lot of Korean skincare routines are like 10 steps long. And so they've designed their sunscreen to layer well over a lot of products and not feel heavy."
My Favorite Sunscreens! Dermatologists Recommendations from Beauty of Joseon, NATURIUM, & More
"When I have patients or friends who don't like sunscreen or haven't been able to find one that they like, [...] this is the one that I typically recommend. I call it the Gateway sunscreen because it essentially opens people's eyes to what's possible with sunscreen. [...] This is really beautiful under makeup it has a slightly dewy finish. [...] I would say it has a slightly more gel-like texture to it."

"It's also a chemical sunscreen meaning that it's less likely to leave a white cast. [...] For people who have normal skin I think you could use this on its own in the morning without layering it on top of a moisturizer and it would be absolutely moisturizing enough for you. Even me as someone who has slightly drier skin I use this on its own all the time, so it does have a little bit of a moisturizing feel to it, but it just agrees so well with my skin."

Dermatologist's Favorite Sunscreens from La Roche-Posay, Isntree, & More! | Dr. Sam Ellis
"So to me this is just like an amazing everyday sunscreen. The one caveat is that it is not water resistant or sweat resistant, so this would not be the sunscreen I would choose if I was swimming or doing outdoor activities where I was going to be sweating a lot, but for day-to-day use I've been reaching for this constantly."

"It is a fan favorite in the skincare community and I really enjoy it too. I feel like this is a great accessible sunscreen, it applies really lovely, it layers well with makeup, it just sort of ticks all of my boxes that I want in an everyday go-to SPF. For these thinner or more gel cream sunscreens, I often will apply it in a couple of layers. I love that it doesn't have any sort of sunscreen scent [...] and it just rubs in so well."

"This is one of my favorite Korean sunscreens. You can probably tell from how dented and gross the tube is. I've raved about it so many times. I actually gave out little samples of this at my wedding. [...] The overall concept is the same. They're both SPF 50 plus and PA with four pluses. They are both really lightweight and they use a lot of newer UV filters. The [...] old formula was really good for me. It was really glowy, and I really enjoyed that."

"The everyday sunscreen I've been using the most is my favorite Korean sunscreen which is the Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun Rice + Probiotics. It's a really lightweight Korean sunscreen that just hydrates my skin really nicely and it sits well under makeup."
Best Affordable Skincare: Beauty of Joseon (AD)
"I have already raved about the Relief Sun Rice + Probiotics so many times but I'm going to quickly run through it in case for those of you who are new to Beauty of Joseon. This is possibly the most raved about sunscreen online at the moment and it is my favorite sunscreen that I've tried so far. It is a Korean sunscreen that's not approved in other countries as far as I know. It is pretty lightweight but on the more moisturizing side which I have personally really appreciated."
My Top Korean Sunscreens (AD)
"The moment I tried this it pretty much immediately became my favorite chemical sunscreen. It has these four chemical filters which are all the newer ones, [...] larger and less likely to absorb through skin. [...] My skin is between normal and oily and really prone to dehydration, and this has the perfect amount of emolliency. It's really moisturizing and it just makes me feel like I'm feeding my skin."
Reviewing Korean Sunscreens! Isntree, Beauty of Joseon, Innisfree, Mary & May (AD)
"This is my favorite sunscreen. It's a chemical sunscreen with newer filters and has a very nice light texture like a hydrating gel moisturizer. It's not greasy at all, it sinks into skin very quickly, and it is very hydrating. It has very little white cast and doesn't show up on [...] medium-ish brown skin. [...] It has no fragrance and no alcohol, which is great if those are problems for your skin. It's designed to be super cosmetically elegant and works really well under makeup."
I tried influencers' Korean skincare faves: Cosrx, Beauty of Joseon (AD)
"I've talked so much about the Beauty of Joseon sunscreen. This family of chemical sunscreens has been top of my list for a while. I found that the Roundlab one was slightly heavier and richer than the Beauty of Joseon sunscreen so I think the Roundlab is more suitable if your skin is drier or if it's slightly drier weather."
Top Sunscreen Recommendations
"This is currently the sunscreen I've been recommending the most. [...] This is manufactured by Colmar, who are widely recognized as the top Korean sunscreen producer. The SPF has been certified by two labs in two different countries and it's actually approved as a sunscreen in Korea, which is not the case with all Korean sunscreens, so this is probably one of the most legit Korean sunscreens. It's really lightweight with a non-sticky moisturizing finish similar to a light moisturizer."

"The Relief Sun Rice + Probiotics is less expensive, it's 18 for the 1.69 ounces, and on Stylevana it's currently 11.79, and I think it's like 14 bucks on YesStyle. It doesn't have fragrance and the final finish is the same. I'm gonna stick with this for me personally. I have no reason to repurchase the sun serum."

"I rather enjoyed this. It wasn't mind-blowing, I prefer their other sunscreen a little bit better. This one isn't like wildly different but it was pretty nice, [...] good filters, SPF 50 PA++++, nice and light in consistency, but for me personally I just prefer their original formula and I would go back to that. As a matter of fact, I have a backup and one in progress, but this was not too bad, just not one that I would necessarily repurchase per se."

"This is the Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun, Rice and Probiotics SPF 50 PA++++. Y'all know I'm a huge fan of Beauty of Joseon, that brand has really got a lot of hits. It's fragrance free, essential oil free, and what I love about this is it has lactobacillus and pumpkin ferment filtrate, which are rich in antioxidants and hydrating ingredients, and niacinamide and [...] tea leaf extract too. It's not greasy, it's not shiny, it's not matte at all, and it works well under cosmetics."

"It's like a sunscreen that has a lot of moisturizer benefits. Zero white cast obviously because it's a chemical sunscreen. It doesn't peel. Sits amazingly under makeup. Doesn't sting my eyes.

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Niacinamide

Niacinamide has evidence behind it for redness, uneven tone and supporting the skin barrier, and it is usually well tolerated even by skin that reacts to most things.
