I Tested 20 Korean Sunscreens on 4 Hikes. Here’s the Truth.

"This is the sunscreen that started making sunscreen feel like a moisturizer, [...] and it's the most popular, best selling sunscreen here in Korea. Even my random friends who have nothing to do with beauty [...] use it, guys included. It's great before makeup, for all skin types, for all seasons. This one goes to my S tier."

I Spent $4,000 at Olive Young So You Don’t Have To

"Round Lab is part of that popular sunscreen trio, high quality with a very advanced filter, though it's a chemical sunscreen that can sting very sensitive eyes. In Korea it's actually more popular than the global trio, and I recommend it especially for dry mature skin because it's more moisturizing than other products. In winter it's great, but in tropical weather some people will feel a bit greasy."

"Compared to Beauty of Joseon, about 30% of the ingredients are similar, and in a blind test I honestly can't tell them apart. Both are great, I love both, just get whatever is on sale, or if you've only tried one of them, try the other, it's great too. Just keep in mind some people are allergic to the ingredients."

"This is a brand new sunscreen from Round Lab, in a smaller size than their original, which was already the number one sunscreen at Olive Young. It feels like an amazing primer, [...] like a dessert on my skin, really moisturizing, so it's great as a gift for your mom. But especially for oily combination skin, I feel like this sunscreen makes me more oily, so make sure to reapply, at least at your cheekbones, since you'll get a lot of sun exposure."

"This is a chemical sunscreen, so if you're lucky, you're good to go, but some people can get stinging in the eyes. If that happens to you, you have to try a mineral sunscreen instead."

Which Is Better? J-Beauty or K-Beauty? | Brutally Honest Long Term Review

"When it comes to sunscreen, this is definitely the number one, it has to be Round Lab. If you hate alcohol, try Round Lab, they don't have alcohol in it but it's still very light, it feels like a moisturizer, and it's affordable too. It sprays a little heavier and feels a bit more like an actual sunscreen."

"Round Lab is the number one sunscreen and the hype around it was phenomenal, people couldn't believe Korea could make this kind of amazing sunscreen because everybody hates sunscreen for being too oily and too sticky, but this one feels like a moisturizer.

"Round Lab has definitely been the number one sunscreen in Korea for a lot of years.

Korean sunscreens use much more advanced filters, though don't forget both of these are chemical sunscreens, so be careful around your eyes. Some people do say this one makes their skin really dry."

It's just not easy to wash off with a cleansing foam, you have to remove it with a cleansing balm or oil."

"This is SPF 50, which I really prefer in the summer time. It protects you against UVA, UVB, as well as the blue light. It works both as a sunscreen and a moisturizer. It has both in one. [...] There's no white cast, there's no smell. It's really easy to layer because it's lightweight. [...] This one's rich in amino acids and minerals, and it has a little bit of niacinamide in it, so helps brighten the skin while also protecting it. It's great for pigmentation and also if you're acne prone."

It does have some tinosorb M in it, so you might see a little bit of a white cast as I start applying it, but on my skin type at least it does vanish in once I massage it in. If you have a deeper skin tone, you might want to look for the newer colored formula instead."

"It really is like the one that can benefit all skin types. It is nice and elegant, lightweight, hydrating, moisturizing, but doesn't feel heavy or sticky, absorbs really quickly. [...] It's just a great daily sunscreen. [...] It is all chemical filters but offers high protection, SPF 50 and PA++++, which is the highest level of UVA protection you can get, and also helps to improve skin texture and skin tone with the ingredients that it has."

"It was such an elegant sunscreen, moisturizing but not heavy, give you this dewy subtle dewy finish that was just beautiful. It has advanced filters and so in my mind I feel like it's really suitable for those that have more like dry normal dry skin, but for oily skin friends you probably would love this for the winter time."

"This is an elegant sunscreen that really can be used all year round but in the fall winter I find it to be extra lovely especially if you like more oily and find the dewy to be too much. I feel like that dewy glow though is just perfect for fall and winter when it's just a little more dry and cold outside. This one is definitely a bestseller at all of YesStyle in Korea for a reason. It is elegant, it is hydrating but not heavy or greasy or shiny, really ideal for daily use for all skin types."

"This is a great one, I think really lovely especially as we transition into like fall. For those with more oily skin I really recommend because it does help to moisturize at the same time but does not leave like a greasy shiny film on skin. Even for dry skin, once you put on your moisturizer and let your moisturizer absorb, this goes on very nicely on top of that."

"It is one of those viral products that has actually maintained its popularity because it was viral like two years ago and yet it's still a bestseller. [...] It is delivering worthiness right people do like it they are returning to it. I do like the texture of this."

"It [...] has kind of a lightness to it, [...] similar quality to a cream gel type of sunscreen, but because it does offer a good amount of moisturization into the skin, I really do consider this more of a sun lotion. [...] It has a really nice kind of refreshing slightly hydrating feel as you spread it onto your skin, but then it also packs in a good amount of moisture without just feeling really heavy or greasy."

"The only reason I rank it a little lower and I don't really use this product, while I have tested it and talked about it a little bit, it's not in my rotation of sunscreens, is due to the essential oils that they use. That is just an ingredient that makes my sensitive skin go off. [...] I try to stay away from those ingredients as much as I possibly can. Otherwise I think it's an excellent sunscreen."

"I would say that this is like a touch more moisturizing. It's glidey and moisturizing without being like sticky or greasy. In terms of white cast, if I apply this unevenly and let it dry, sometimes I will get a bit of a white streak but it blends out really easily. On some people with darker skin there is a slight white cast though that doesn't go away. [...] There's no alcohol in the sunscreens from this family and most of these also don't have fragrance."

I tried influencers' Korean skincare faves: Cosrx, Beauty of Joseon (AD)

"They just work really well on my skin. They feel sort of like a cream gel moisturizer going on. They're really hydrating. They also just feel like they stay on your skin pretty well. They are SPF 50 PA+++ which is as high as the rating system goes in Korea. They don't leave a white cast unless you have relatively dark skin. [...] These do leave a little bit of a shiny finish so some people find them quite greasy, but for me the film is just really light and it falls on the glowy side."

"For those of you who don't like too much moisture, this can actually double up as a sunscreen and a moisturizer, too, because it has hydrating ingredients that include 74, that's a lot. Naturally derived minerals from deep sea water. [...] And that's going to keep your skin nourished, healthy, moisturized. Again, not greasy, just glowing. [...] It's the number one sunscreen in the Olive Young Awards. So it's award winning, and it's the number one award winner. So you know it's good."

"Round Lab Birch Juice Moisturizing Sunscreen for 19 bucks, it does have hyaluronic acid in it. I'm not against all hyaluronic acid but I don't want you guys to be using HA in every step of your routine especially if it is low or super low molecular weight HA as I have seen it get slightly inflammatory when overused in the same routine. But if you guys are into the hyaluronic acid and you're looking for something hydrating, patients have told me they love this one."
