Dry sensitive rosacea: beauty of Joseon relief sun and SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Hyalu-Cica Water-Fit Sun Serum

[@simonk8954]

I've tried over 40 sunscreens and many of the leading Korean ones that people rave about, and the HaruHaru sunscreen is my clear favourite to date (currently on my 9th tube). You describe it really well. It works well on my combination skin and doesn't make my skin feel tight as the day goes on, especially as a tret user.

[@mikearlotta8635]

What are your favorite ones after that one?

[@simonk8954]

@@mikearlotta8635 I wouldn't say I have anything comparable or a favourite after. If I had to pick, P.CALM Water Barrier Sun Cream SPF 50 is one I like. Not as good, but really nice finish, similar to HaruHaru, and feels quite nice on the skin. How about you?

[@flowerchild2657]

I've finally bought the Beauty of Joseon sunscreen and I must say the hype is well deserved!! It feels like a moisturiser, it has skincare benefits (rice probiotics) . I'm so pleased with it that I bought it directly from Yes Style, it's cheaper than on Amazon and like Stylevana have lots and lots of K beauty. I also bought my Hado Labo lotion from there, it's great very hydrating as well as their emulsion. Korean skincare quantities seem to be larger than the western ones!! Though not for the sunscreen I bought 😁 Only 50ml.

[@user-kg4em1kh8v]

I’m 58 and have oily-ish, sensitive & acne prone skin. My current favorite sunscreen is the Haruharu Wonder Airy fit (yellow tube w/purple cap). On my third tube of it and I love the ingredients, how it feels. Everything she says about it is spot on.

[@shelleyeatz]

Just here to vouch for stylevana based on my 18 orders spanning the past 3 years. Everything always arrived perfectly packed in the expected amount of time (2-5 weeks). I also did have to reach out to customer service about a product that was sold out and preventing shipment. Customer service took the item off my order and refunded me the difference + shipped the rest of the order right away

[@bridgettejohnson80]

Stylevana won't be getting my money anymore. The customer service is a email bot. When I started cursing, I got better service. I order from YesStyle and Olive Global Young

[@JulienArbor]

BOJ, Isntree Hyaluronic Acid Gel, Round Lab Birch Juice and Skin1004 Centella Sunscreens are currently my favorites…I’m 64yo, post-menopausal, tretinoin user who needs extra hydrating & soothing sunscreen that’s 50++++ with either no or very light fragrance. All of these work on my drier combination skin, all are a pleasure to use, and the main difference between them is the amount of hydration & the finish…from natural skin to slightly dewey to high beam glass skin. I also have several others to try including your Prequel sunscreen. 💕

[@lindseycassini1560]

I cannot get over the Beauty of Joseon sunscreen, I keep going back to it. There is just something about it that makes my skin look so much better over time, I think it is the rice extract 🤔 I want to try the Haruharu though, looks good and also has rice extract 😊 My skin is oily and acne prone (the BoJ is quite nourishing, but it is fine for me as I use it as my moisturizer. Also it helps my skin bounce back from the tretinoin I use every night).

[@laceysmith6477]

BOJ is my holy grail im very dry and acne prone

[@kathleenwang]

and it doesn't sting my eyes when I sweat!!!

[@DragonBabyLove]

I also love BOJ sunscreen

[@heathergasol569]

I love these kinds of videos Dr. Ellis. I love the way you explain the ingredients, whether or not it has fragrance, how the sunscreens feel, the finish, etc. This helps so much. I have extremely sensitive, rosacea prone skin so the way you go into detail is so helpful. I ordered 5 of these products. Thank you.🙌🙌👏👏👏🥰

[@DrSamEllis]

So happy you found it helpful! 🙏🏼

[@alinakirven5256]

I’m a huge fan of Beuty of Joseon sunscreen (dry to combination skin, dehydrated in very dry climate of Colorado). Never peels, very light but noticeably hydrating. This sunscreen made me WANT to use my sunscreen daily in any weather 🎉

[@jacobs3707]

This is my favorite type of video from you, especially when you include products that aren’t already super popular! Please post more secrets, controversial opinions, and tips you have learned from your experience at work like what brands, products and such work best with certain prescriptions, or with certain skin types and concerns. Also talk about PIE in depth please!

[@TheCurlyEsti]

I’m oily and live in humid & hot South Florida. The sunscreens I swear by are rom&nd ZERO SUN CLEAN 01.FRESH (no exaggeration, I have been complimented every time I wear this sunscreen) & Haruharu Wonder Black Rice Moisture Airyfit Daily Sunscreen

[@kimrrosen]

I'm 38, super dry & reactive cheeks, normal to oily t-zone, and am on a DEEP sunscreen dive this summer. Faves so far are Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun, Biore Aqua Riche Watery Essence, Summer Fridays Shade Drops, CosRx Aloe Soothing Sun Cream, Fenty Hydravisor, Sulwhasoo UV Age Veil, Vacation Shake Shake, and Canmake Mermaid Skin clear. Also I use the Haruharu cleanser and can confirm Dr. Sam speaks the truth, it's wonderful.

[@rosej9686]

I love the Haru Haru sunscreen but since it's already gotten hot and humid where I live, I've had to put it away in favor of a lighter formula. Right now, I'm loving the Skin1004 Madagascar Centella SPF 50+ PA++++ one - it's so light and almost gel-like. In fact, I just got a couple of backups, I love it that much! I have normal to dry skin.

[@lukastemberger]

I'm the opposite. Hyalu-Cica makes me look so greasy and oily, I can't leave the house like that. Haruharu is wonderful. I wish I could find something more matte than Haruharu, but for now it's the best.

[@emmagal14]

​@@lukastembergerNumbuzin no 1 sunscreen is great for combination to oily dehydrated skin

[@lukastemberger]

@@emmagal14 I don't have oily or dehydrated skin... I just want one that doesn't look like I'm wearing anything. Whatever I put on my skin looks like I put a layer of grease on it :P I just want it to look like clean skin.

[@emmagal14]

@@lukastemberger Yes numbuzin is very matte compared to most of the sunscreens I used.. I hate to apply sunscreen but numbuzin no 1 did not make my skin oily or greasy at all..The only concern is the price.. Till I managed to find something better than numbuzin no 1,will keep sticking to it

[@lukastemberger]

@@emmagal14 great, thanks! I'll try it!

[@elizabethjohnson6773]

I love seeing what products are your favorite. Your recommendations has never let me down!

[@elt9264]

My favorite sunscreen at the moment is the first sunscreen you mentioned, the Haruharu Wonder Black Rice Moisture Airyfit Sunscreen!! I love that it dries on matte and layering on makeup is seamless!!! I will always repurchase this product!!! 🔥🔥🔥

[@kimrrosen]

I will watch ANY AND ALL k-beauty product reviews, or truly any product reviews you have to share. I gobble them up like popcorn

[@jojo_909]

I actually find K Beauty moisturizers to be really outstanding in that category. Theyre always lightweight, yet nourishing, spread/absorb easily and never pills. My skin feels hydrated and comfortable but never greasy . It's like a balance of cream and little bit of gel that makes the perfect texture

[@blackstripened]

I’m a 38-year-old woman with dry/combo skin and my holy grail sunscreen is the non-tinted LRP Anthelios UV mune 400. It seems very similar to that Haruharu one!

[@lukastemberger]

It's not an option for me because it's not cruelty free. Haruharu ftw :)

[@hedyparks3803]

Great video! Thank you! I love Korean skincare, and after watching, there are a few new things I want to try. My favorite Korean sunscreen is the P. Calm Water Barrier Sun Cream. I have combination skin and I find that one is perfect. It's moisturizing, but not too heavy. I don't care for a super dewy finish, and it gives me a very natural, normal skin-like finish. I've tried others, and while I think it's hard to go wrong when it comes to Korean sunscreens, I always go back to the P. Calm.

[@johnnyloh442]

Other than sunscreen, P. Calm’s Retinolagen line is awesome! Good mixture of retinol and collagen and it doesn’t irritate the skin. You should give it a try if you are looking for anti-aging products

[@dcnunez100]

Really interested in what you recommend in Korean Skincare for Rosacea. Thanks for all your videos! So informative!

[@anamandic4540]

I tried the yellow Haru Haru sunscreen a while back and, lord. Not for me! Despite my dry skin, that bad boy was *greasy*. I was initially intrigued because it really is “plush” as they say, but then it slicks down your eyebrows and gets ultra shiny after even just one reapplication. 😱 Loved the numbuzin one though. It was a repurchase for me. Also, the new Heimish hyaluronic hydrating watery sunscreen, is a-maz-ing. It’s not in this video, but I bought five tubes of it and am obsessed and had to share.

[@tracevicente]

The mineral one may be worth a shot, in the purple. It has a matte finish, I got it on purpose as my winter one is very emollient/shiny but if you have darker skin it does have a white cast. It fades on me, and I may try the yellow one as I have mature skin.

[@anamandic4540]

@@tracevicenteHow does it reapply? My main issue with mineral and hybrid sunscreens is that I can’t elegantly reapply them the minimum of twice I need to get through a typical day

[@rzuniga1649]

Love both the Numbuzin and Haruharu spf’s. My combo 59 year old skin has used Korean skincare products for years and they just keep getting better. My only complaint is that the Haruharu wonder spf doesn’t come out of the tube easily- I may have to repot it. But they both lay under makeup beautifully. It makes my dry areas hydrated and it is not oily for my t-zone, with no peeling under different make up brands. The Numbuzin3 toner is another winner.

[@juliec4632]

I'm a 54 year old female with dry-ish skin. I have dermatomyositis and am very sun sensitive, so I'm obsessive about protecting my skin. I feel like I've tried so many sunscreens over the years trying to find the perfect one that I could wear daily that didn't look or feel like I was wearing sunscreen. I haven't found anything as good as the SKIN1004 - Madagascar Centella Hyalu-Cica Water-Fit Sun Serum SPF50 PA++++. It's so perfect and weightless on my skin and never pills. A close second is Beauty of Joseon.

[@anabellel5701]

I'm a HUGE Korean (Stylevana) skincare fan! My ABSOLUTE FAVORITE sunscreen is: SKIN 1004 - Madagascar Centella Hyalu-Cica Water-Fit Sun Serum. It's super light and protects like a dream. On a different note, I just discovered your channel and I'm thrilled that I did! Thank you!

Thanks Dr. Sam! Can’t wait to look into a few of these products for myself and my daughter. We both love the Numbuzin sunscreen you discussed in the video. I also love P.Calm sunscreen that I learned about from you in a previous Korean sunscreen review video. I honestly love the Prequel mineral sunscreen too. I’m on my second tube. We are going to Maui in July and I would love updated water resistant sunscreen picks/reviews!

[@jb-vs2ck]

My favorite Korean sunscreen is the the Skin1004 Madagascar Centella Sun Serum. I have mature dry/combo skin. This sunscreen works beautifully under any foundation I use. The consistency is slightly lighter than the Haru Haru and slightly heavier than the Numbuzin #1.

The new Rovectin Calming Lotus Sun Cream is incredible for my dry, rosacea-prone, mature skin. It's the only one I've wanted to use since I got it. No moisturizer needed underneath. I've also got the new Ma:nyo Galactomy Moisture Sun Serum on deck to try once I can pull myself away from the Rovectin. Both are fragrance free. I'm a fool for new sunscreens!

[@melissasoriano6036]

If I want a little bit of a glow, I use Hemish Artless Glow Base SPF 50+/PA +++ on the high points my face over the Neogen Sunscreen to give me added sun protection.

[@xlaughing]

The SKIN1004 - Madagascar Centella Hyalu-Cica Water-Fit Sun Serum SPF50 is my holy grail sunscreen, it’s the only one that always works under makeup, never stings, and isn’t too shiny on my oily skin. I really liked the Haru Haru wonder without makeup, but makeup didnt go over it well for me!

[@brooks6348]

You converted me to Korean sunscreen some time ago. I’m not a fan of mineral sunscreens. My current favorite is Isntree Hyaluronic Watery Sun Gel. I have normal to slightly dry skin that is very sensitive. I always order from Stylevana, and I plan to order a few, new to me, sunscreens that you mentioned in your video. I’ve never gone wrong with any of your recommendations! Keep them coming!

[@ammonitelight]

One thing I learned the hard way about the PA++++ rating is that they're not all equal when it comes to inhibiting pigmentation. I did some digging and found that to get a ++++ rating, a sunscreen only has to have a Persistent Pigment Darkening (PPD) rating of 16 but an effective PPD is going to be a lot higher than that (for example, a lot of EU sunscreens have at least twice that PPD). Beauty of Joseon has the minimum PPD rating. I loved the feel of the formula and it was so gentle on my combo, type 2 rosacea skin, but I quickly developed pigmentation that had previously been controlled using a zinc-based SPF 50 (Pipette). I made sure I was applying enough BoJ and making sure to reapply, but to no avail. I'm currently trying and liking Dr.G Green Mild Up Sun+, which is a Korean zinc-based formula for sensitive skin. It seems to be really calming to my skin, especially when I don't use moisturizer under it. My skin also feels softer at the end of the day when I wash it off (I had this same effect with BoJ). It has some botanical antioxidants and visible light filters and such a nice satin finish- not too dry or matte, but also not dewy. It feels light for a zinc based formula. It does have a light white cast that disappears after awhile, but I'm fair so that's not a big deal for me. So far it seems to be holding its own in the pigmentation suppression department but Im curious to see how it holds up in the middle of summer.

[@__NewEarth__]

I've been loving Beauty of Joseon's product line. I've tried so many sunscreens over the years looking for "the one" and their Relief Sun : Rice + Probiotics (SPF50+ PA++++) is perfect. It's a chemical sunscreen; doesn't burn my eyes. Dries to a dewy finish and feels like I have nothing on my face (not tacky or heavy like many sunscreens). It has beautiful ingredients like antioxidants and niacinamide etc. and makes my skin look really nice.

This was really helpful as are your other Korean Skincare videos! I've started hearing how these sunscreens can double as a moisturizer too. I was wondering if you could do a video on which Korean Sunscreens can double as both? :)

[@JulienArbor]

Triple them as moisturizer, sunscreen, and skin tint/foundation! Most Korean foundation cushions also contain an SPF…some as high as 50++++! Some of these companies also make a sunscreen , a blurring & smoothing primer and a facial mist/setting spray that ALL contain SPF! Reapplication is a breeze if you use a couple of these products together plus there won’t be any problem with product incompatibility like the sunscreen’s great, but then you have problems with pilling when you apply your favorite foundation over it. I’m particularly thinking of Jung Saem Yool, but other more affordable Korean (and Japanese) makeup/skincare brands have similar systems that are designed to work well together.

[@judiseibold9119]

I am excited to try a couple of your suggestions. Right now my favorite sunscreen is Supergoop Protec(tint) and I also love CeraVe hydrating mineral sunscreen, sheer tint. I like that it has the 3 essential ceramides and niacinamide in this product. Both wear beautifully under make up (tho I do wait 15 minutes before applying foundation, if I am wearing foundation that day) But with that said, I am learning that the ++++ is very important, so I will be giving them a try. I live in Texas I am 59 and I have normal skin.

I switched to the haruharu sunscreen and it’s made a huge difference:) I’m really glad I found it! Also I do use the numbuzin serum because I have melasma…I’m on my 2nd bottle & honestly, I feel like it’s slowly helping… I can slightly see the pigmentation breaking up.. I have to be light handed during the day because I noticed with the beauty of josean sunscreen it can peel… I haven’t noticed that with the haruharu one yet though. I’m also thinking it breaks me out some…I use Paula’s choice bha liquid & it goes away quickly but I find myself more spot treating with it because I’m worried! I’m sticking with it to see results & hoping that resolves itself over time, we’ll see! I’m really wanting to try the numbuzin sunscreen! Thank you for the great recommendations, they help a ton!

I have never seen such amazing skin transformations as far as healing the skin, eliminating scars, getting rid of hyperpigmentation…you name it. And PDRN dramatically improves hydration & is the fastest way to get glass skin! Although it’s made in South Korea and popular there, their #1 customers are in Japan. The Japanese are loving their VT Cosmetics Reedle Shot programs!

The haru haru sunscreen is so far my favorite! I have oily skin and so a toner and that in the morning, and I'm good! Also, it doesn't have a sunscreen scent, which I am a fan of

I am 69 with super sensitive skin and an often impaired barrier. I use all Prequel products except for sunscreen. I wear the Drmtlgy tinted moisturizer SPF 46 and I reapply with color science’s brush on powder and Supergoop’s reapplication spray. I would no sooner leave the house without sun protection than I would leave the house naked.

Hi Dr. Ellis! I'm a big fan of your channel and I've learned so much from your videos. I'm particularly interested in your skincare tips for oily skin. I've been following your advice and my skin has been looking so much better! Loved your top picks on Korean skincare! I was wondering if you could do a video on skin pampering sessions. I know that the most important thing is to have a consistent skincare routine, but sometimes I like to treat myself to a special pampering session before a big event or just to relax. I would love to hear your tips on what products and techniques to use for a DIY facial at home. Thanks for your time and consideration! Sincerely, Elsa

I know a lot of other factors than percentage alone determines the SPF value, but I do find it quite remarkable that many of the currently popular korean sunscreens manage to get spf >50 values with just 7-8% total filter content. I've never seen such low total filter concentrations with spf values above 50 elsewhere. Would be interesting to know how they managed to boost the SPF that much. Currently I like the Hur Weightless Sun Fluid SPF50, no whitecast, and its less shiny and sticky than the Haruharu Airyfit SPF50 one, although I like the cream texture of the HaruHaru better. Benton Cica Gel Sunscreen Serum SPF50 I like as well, because my skin responds well to it, and to me it seems less glowy than BOJS and Skin1004, though these three do leave a slight whitecast on my skin. Eucerin Oil Control SPF50+ and Garnier BHA+Niacinamide Daily UV SPF50+ are also two favorites, no whitecast and not shiny.

I love Korean skincare products. Haru Haru Wonder sunscreen is my favorite. It is the first sunscreen I don’t mind using. Do you have a favorite Korean Moisturizer? Thank you, Dr Sam, have a lovely day!

I have learned so much watching your videos. Thank you for taking the time to educate about these products. Is there a tinted sunscreen? I’m going to an outdoor event and I’m very fair, didn’t want to apply sunscreen and a body makeup. I don’t care for self tanners.
