What they flagged

  • Strongly scented

What the gurus are saying

The fragrance is notably strong, which may be a dealbreaker for those sensitive to scent or looking for a fragrance-free option. However, the formula itself earns praise for being genuinely moisturizing and delivering solid sun protection without leaving a white cast, making it a good fit for anyone drawn to the brand and willing to work with the scent profile.

"IOPE's UV Shield Sun Ample is an SPF 50 [...] sunscreen that's part skin treatment, part sunscreen, and it's amazing. It's lightweight and watery and very quickly vanishes on the skin, with no stinging, no peeling and no white cast, and you can keep layering it [...] without a greasy finish. It has their Allantoin complex of allantoin, onion bulb extract and peptides to calm, soothe and repair, plus their Stem 3 Ample [...] for hydration and barrier repair. [...] If your skin hates sunscreens, I think you'll love this one. The only problem, and why I think I made a mistake recommending it, is that you can only get it in store at Olive Young, [...] it's sold out elsewhere, and where it is available they charge almost double or triple, so [...] grab it if you can visit Korea."

"This is an SPF 50 plus PA3 pluses. This is like their serum sunscreen, but this is much lighter weight. So, I'm looking forward to trying this. Unfortunately, this isn't available online in Europe."
