What they flagged

    Nothing. None of the experts who reviewed it raised a problem.

    What the gurus are saying

    This sunscreen's standout is its clinically tested cooling technology, which reduces skin temperature by about four degrees to help calm redness and flushing in summer heat. The formulation feels imperceptibly lightweight and hydrating, so much so that people forget they've applied it, and a subtle green tint color-corrects redness without visible cast. It's proven protection (SPF 50+, PPD 21) that makes a real difference for heat-reactive skin.

    "It's great. New generation sun protection. Great if you're looking to cool the skin. If you're somebody that gets very redness in summer, this is a great option because it contains ingredients that actually lower the temperature of the skin. Great at fading hyperpigmentation because increasing temperatures of the skin in summer can actually trigger hyperpigmentation. So if you're looking to counter that, this is a great product to do it with. And it does come off. It has a slight ever so slight greenish hue to it, which will do a light color correction cuz don't forget green counteracts red. It's not super noticeable, so it's not like a color corrector, but it just gives you a little bit of color correction. And I think that's quite nice. Just balance everything out. This is a dream if you have very redness prone skin and you want to dial back that, help color correct it, and of course take the temperature down if you're someone that gets very hot and flustered in summer. It's a great product."

    Top 10: BEST KOREAN SKINCARE 2024
    "I can't believe that a sunscreen can feel this good. They put their testing out there so you know this is guaranteed SPF 50 plus, high UVA rating too. So it's tried, it's tested. If it wasn't for that testing I wouldn't believe this was actually the level of protection they're advertising. It's impossible how amazing this feels. If you're in the market for a Korean sunscreen, this is the only one I actually used from the Korean skincare market every single time I need extra hydration. This is it. I just love it."
    BESTSELLING KOREAN SKINCARE 2023 - This Is What We Bought
    "This is the Numbuzin No.3 Pure-full Calming Water Sunscreen. If you like the Skin1004 one, try this out, honestly it's like next level good. Impossibly lightweight, so calming and soothing on the skin. It feels absolutely beautiful and like no other Korean sunscreen you've ever tried. I absolutely love it. You get a really precise applicator, which I think is great. It's artificial fragrance-free and you can keep it in the fridge for like the ultimate cooling. This is like a revelation, absolutely gorgeous on the skin. I mentioned it in a video about two, three weeks ago and I know a lot of you guys bought it on the back of that and were like wow, honestly speechless on first application. It is that good. I'm wearing it today. It definitely gives a little hydration but feels impossibly light on the skin. I would have always said shop Skin1004 for your sunscreens but recently since I discovered this, I think I might have just changed my mind and this might be my firm favorite."

    "This is the Numbuzin No.3 Pure-full Calming Water Sunscreen SPF 50+, and it has a PPD rating of 21, which is a really good score. Look for something 19 or higher on that PPD rating to make sure you're getting really effective UVA coverage. It's calming, it's soothing, it'll prevent premature aging, and it's just a really really impossibly lightweight sunscreen that I love."
    BESTSELLING KOREAN SKINCARE 2024 - What We All Bought
    "I personally love this product and like I said last year it was my favorite Korean sunscreen but at the moment I'm just finding I enjoy this which is the Numbuzin No.3 Pure-full Calming Water Sunscreen that little bit more. This cools the skin, perfect in summer. It's super gel light and lightweight. For me this is my current favorite Korean sunscreen bar none."
    BEST NEW ANTI-AGING SKINCARE - 10 Products You Need To Know About!
    "This is honestly one of the best sunscreens I've ever discovered. It disappears without a trace. It is so so calming and they actually did some tests on this to show that it actually reduces the temperature of the skin, which is great because if your skin is hot, it's flustered, it's more likely to incur inflammation, hyperpigmentation. We need to just keep things calm in summer. This actually does reduce the temperature of the skin by about four degrees in those tests, which is pretty good. It feels gorgeous, feels calming, soothing, and it's truly invisible. You just can't see it on the skin. When I put it on, 20 minutes later I think, did I put my sunscreen on? You can't tell. My advice would be make sure you tick it off and take it off on your check sheet or something when you've applied it because you'll honestly forget whether you've used it. So so good."
    Top 10 SUNSCREENS 2025 - Best Sunscreens For Anti Aging
    "I love this, I loved it in 2024, I still love it in 2025. And I think this is the best sunscreen if you have particularly redness or reactive prone skin. If you're somebody that as soon as you step out the door into the heat you feel that prickling, the redness takes over and you want something to calm everything down, this is a really great option. It does that in two ways. First and foremost it has some technology in here which actually cools the skin. Some studies that they did into this product showed that it actually cooled the skin by about 4 degrees. That's pretty decent. So if you're someone that gets a bit hot and a bit flustered in summer, this could be a really great option. It also has a very light green tint to it. So anyone that's familiar with the color wheel knows that green is opposite red and they cancel each other out. So if you have redness in the skin, a little green tint which honestly is invisible, it just does color correction. It won't leave any green mark on the skin or anything. It will just cancel out some of that red and take everything down. I'm definitely somebody that can get a little bit red and blotchy in summer, so this is definitely one of my go-tos. It's also truly invisible. Just a beautiful, beautiful product."
    ULTIMATE KOREAN SKINCARE ROUTINE 2023 - Using Best Korean Skincare
    "This is the Numbuzin No.3 Pure-full Calming Water Sunscreen. The reason I love this is it's been independently tested in two labs so you know exactly what you're getting in terms of sun protection. It's hydrating, it comes and it actually reduces the temperature of the skin and is clinically proven to do that, so if someone suffers with redness or flushing this can really help. This doesn't cause watering in the eye, it's not irritating, it's just super gentle and super effective. I never thought I would be able to beat the beauty of Joseon sunscreen, but this is actually better."

    "The numbuzin Calming Water Sunscreen truly blew me away with how lightweight it is. Swatching it at the store I was genuinely shocked at how watery it is. The sunscreen is filled with bomb ingredients like houttuynia cordata extract, licorice root extract, centella asiatica, madecassoside, all these great ingredients for antioxidant protection, calming the skin down, and even helping to fight against dark spots and premature aging. It also has 10 types of hyaluronic acid as well. It's a very impressive formula, a little bit more expensive than the other sunscreens that I've mentioned in this video but so freaking good. I've tried a bunch of other numbuzin products and I enjoy them, but none of the other products truly blew me away like this sunscreen. I highly recommend it for anyone out there who's looking for a leveled up sunscreen formula where you're getting that sun protection but you also want a good range of ingredients to treat a bunch of different skin concerns."
