What the gurus are saying

Creamy, hydrating and free of white cast, this Korean SPF 50 is the one gurus steer dry skin toward, with extra praise for calming redness thanks to its centella. The catch is trust. Skeptics are wary after the brand's earlier scandal over an SPF lower than claimed, and call it more moisturizer than sunscreen. Oily or combination skin may find the sheen too heavy.

"The included sunscreen, the Daily Go-To SPF 50, is one I reviewed before and recommend more for dry skins."

"The one minor downside [...] is that it does have titanium dioxide, so there's no white cast, but [...] if you have a very, very dark skin tone I would say go for the other sunscreens I'm recommending. Still, this one is a solid one that shows up so nicely on the skin, and it's a great lightweight option if you don't want your sunscreen to feel like a heavy extra step in your routine."

"This is a Korean sunscreen, it's SPF50 and PA+++ meaning that it not only has very strong UVB protection but also strong UVA protection. It's not fragranced at all, it goes on the skin so smoothly. Now if you have oily or kind of like normal or combination skin you might find that this is too heavy or too greasy but I find that for a very hydrating or moisturizing sunscreen it really doesn't feel heavy on the skin but it does have a little bit of a sheen to it."

"I don't have much confidence in this as a sunscreen because of the brand's prior scandal where their sunscreen had a substantially lower SPF than claimed, and I'm not confident the new manufacturer has expertise in sunscreen formulation. It is very moisturizing with no white cast, but it's more of an everyday moisturizer that happens to have some sunscreen ingredients—good for someone staying indoors—but I wouldn't recommend using it as your sunscreen."

"This is one that is great for those of you who have underlying rosacea and redness. [...] It's a little bit thicker than the Beauty of Joseon but it has centella asiatica extract in it which can help soothe the skin. It grips a little bit more onto the skin than the Beauty of Joseon but it's also very lightweight. There is no fragrance, no white cast, it literally blends in seamlessly."

What the evidence says.

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

Sunscreen filters

Sun protection is the best evidenced way to slow visible ageing, and the filters are what does the work. Mineral and chemical filters both protect when a product is applied thickly enough and often enough, which is where most people fall short rather than on the choice of filter.
