My Top Korean Sunscreens (AD)

[@leejieunsbestie44]

beauty of joseon is easily the best sunscreen i ever used period. as someone who has a veryy sensitive skin sunscreens would always irritate and break me out so i usually avoided using them if i werent going to the beach or stay under the sun for too long, but since i tried boj im literally obsessed with it to the point that i sometimes use it when im at home too.. also the way you dont even need to use moisturizer bc boj itself is also good as a moisturizer its def my holy grail

[@slumber8120]

same! i would try sunscreens regularly, but always wound up abandoning them because i would either break out in an itchy rash or immediately develop painful cystic bumps all over my face. despite knowing we *should* be wearing sunscreen daily, i tended to avoid it until i found the BoJ one

[@nunujose3871]

Where do you order from?

[@slumber8120]

@@nunujose3871 i've ordered BoJ from yesstyle but it looks like now you can order it from the brand's website directly, at least in the states. and when i googled it, it looks like sokoglam also sells it now and i've ordered other things from them before. not sure about for people outside of the US

[@forgottenpaperflowers]

Thank you for mentioning sensory issues. I always wear my spf but a lot of the times if an spf is too dewy my hair will stick to it and I start getting really overwhelmed and it makes me want to wipe it off so I have been trying to find the lightest spf I can and the one that doesn't irritate my eyes and the skin 1004 one is my absolute favourite for it. I need a layer of powder over any sunscreen I wear but this one I don't need a lot of powder which makes reapplying way nicer and doesn't get all goopy. Thank you for your videos they are always really helpful 💕

[@auroras.2015]

Thanks you for sharing! I have the same issues as you. Especially with my eyes. I will order the skin 1004 and give it a shot. Wish me luck 😅

[@Oracle1166]

I also hate this feeling. I got the Skin1004 recently and it’s the first sunscreen that doesn’t irritate my super sensitive eyes. The BoJ you def feel it on your skin, especially if you’re prone to oiliness and it made my eyes so puffy and watery. Everyone is different of course but I was a little disappointed after all the rave reviews.

[@forgottenpaperflowers]

@Aurora S. yeah definitely give it a go, I was definitely sceptical because I saw loads of people doing paid videos promoting it but I bit the bullet and honestly I don't regret it at all, it is my go to spf now, I have already gone through 1 tube and just started my 2nd. I cut the first tibe open to get every last little bit out 😂

[@forgottenpaperflowers]

@Oracle1166 I had the exact same problem with the boj one. It went on nice but my skin is so oily and it just didn't sit well on my skim and was making my hair stick to it like crazy and the eye sting in this one was horrendous for me so I just use the leftovers now on my hands instead

[@auroras.2015]

@@Oracle1166 aah that sounds really promising. 🤩

[@renaissancekid1651]

I sweat from my face so easily, especially in the summer with the increased humidity that I worry about my everyday sunscreen not being enough. I'd really like to see a video dedicated specifically to sunscreens that are water resistant! In all honesty summer increases spontaneity for me, so even if I don't plan on running around and breaking a sweat sometimes it just happens, but I still want to maintain good coverage with my sunscreen.

It was interesting for me to find that nobody here in Korea seems to use Beauty of Joseon, yet I constantly see it being pushed in western media. The most popular sunscreen in Korea is probably Round Lab's sunscreen, and I can see why. If you love Beauty of Joseon's sunscreen you might wanna give this one a try too!

[@LabMuffinBeautyScience]

Yes I've found the two virtually indistinguishable on my skin!

[@KasiaZ]

I really like Round Lab's SPF! :) works well with my rosacea :)

[@tehmaimed]

they're made from the same manufacturer (Kolmar) so it really comes down to a preference for packaging, texture, and some ingredients you'd prefer (in this case, rice vs. birch juice). Otherwise, they're essentially the same SPF with the same chemical filters

[@girlnotthis9738]

it’s bc korean beauty market is highly competitive so many korean brands tend to market more to the foreign audiencea by using „korean” as a main marketing tool. HOWEVER, it does not mean it’s bad, they still use the same technology and manufacturing standards. also popular in korea doesnt mean necessarily the best, there are so many queationable beauty stuff popular in korea

[@nicoleannponies]

@@girlnotthis9738 yeah i’ve since realized that you can’t even buy it here😅and that makes sense! i’m honestly so happy that there will be a sunscreen similar to round lab that i can easily get my hands on once i get back to the US, so i’m definitely not complaining! Thank you for your response!

[@ANGslave]

The sunscreen vs stained clothes battle, thanks so much for the stick recommendation!!

[@Firstname.Lastname]

I just want to thank you so much for suggesting Isntree’s Hyaluronic Acid sunscreen in a past video. I can’t remember which one you recommended, but I bought the HA Sun Cream (with zinc) and I love it so, so much. Nearly everything gives me contact dermatitis nowadays and I also have congestion-prone skin, eczema, and mild rosacea. Before trying this sunscreen, it was always a “what will my skin tolerate” sort of deal. This is the only sunscreen I’ve ever used that actually feels really good to apply, helps soothe irritation, doesn’t exacerbate any of my issues later on, feels lightweight, and looks great under makeup. I’ve since given away my graveyard of sunscreens that I didn’t love and I no longer have days where my face hurts too badly to even think about applying sunscreen and going outside!

[@monicaclasener]

[@jessamineprice5803]

Thanks for the back-of-hands idea! I have that problem as well. Sticks are brilliant! My favorite sunscreen here in Korea is BOH Panthenol Cica Blemish Sun Cream. It's got brightening ingredients, blends in nice (chemical) and it's the perfect texture. Plus it often goes on sale at Olive Young (the standard high-street shop for beauty products here). It seems like the Korean products that become well-known overseas are often different than the typical products in the stores here.

[@kathleenwarner4046]

Thanks Michelle! Beauty of Joseon is very good, but the Skin 1004 is a favorite (one little plus is how little is left in tube at end of use; I'm one of those people who cuts open packaging to get every last bit). Currently using d'Alba's UV Essence Waterfull+; silky texture and no eye irritation. As humidity rises with advent of summer I'm hoping it can replace at least one moisturizer step.

[@Iceman2890]

Thank you for this! Can you go over your favourite waterproof k-beauty sunscreen options?

[@priscillanguyen4334]

I loved the skin1004 sunscreen after finding the boj sunscreen just a tad bit heavy!! I found the boj sunscreen would leave me shiny later in the day while the skin1004 doesn’t but it still provides enough moisture for me to not have to wear a separate moisturizer under it

[@alo_kitty]

Bondi Sands and Eucerin make really great body SPFs! They are affordable and feel nice and hydrating on the skin (without feeling too thick)

[@PR-td2iu]

You nailed it with your great description of the Beauty of Joseon sunscreen. It is such a pleasure to use. For me, the moisture and “wetness” level (post-application) are perfect because I am older and my skin tends to be dry. It’s even a pleasure to squeeze it out of the tube. My top US sunscreen is Elta MD. When compared to the Beauty of Joseon sunscreen, Elta MD feels and looks closer to a No-Ad drugstore sunscreen. 😱

[@Moirarchia]

Usually suscreen breaks me or irritates my skin but I've been using the BoJ one for a couple of weeks now and it seems to be working great. It also doesn't dry out my dry and dehydrared prone skin which is something sunscreen usually does. Crossing my fingers that I've finally found a sunscreen that works for me...

[@anitawallace2166]

I’ve been using Beauty of Joseon and been pleased by it. I find that most American sunscreens make my eyes burn terribly. So I use B of J on my face and the eye irritating ones on my arms and legs.

[@liz_perry]

I love the Beauty of Joseon. I've been through several tubes for myself and gifts. Now I want to try the others though 😂

[@moisdawg]

I have those awkward sunscreen moments pretty much daily lol. In the morning I'll go to apply my sunscreen with a shirt on , but that makes applying around my neck weird. So then I'll just apply it shirtless, but I'm worried I rubbed some spf off when I put the shirt on lol. Can't win. I just wear sun gloves when driving or going on a walk. Also, sunscreen breaking down plastic is such a threat! I went on a weekend cruise recently, and by the end of that short time my keycard was not able to get scanned lol. My keyboard and mouse look a mess too, and I've even managed to rub off the label/numbers on my tower fan. Really gotta be careful with sunscreen on hands ig

[@megleland6320]

I would film a Tedx of me explaining how much I love the BoJ sunscreen, and why. It is still #1 for me, yet to find anything better, though one or two come very close. The only thing I could think of to improve it for ((ME)) would be if they could add enough Vitamin C to it, so I could skip my C serum. That or add Tranexamic Acid to it (like my next favourite Sunscreen has), or maybe do a line of BB Creams that would have my preferred tone and coverage level. That would be so dope, a "tinted" BoJ SFP 50PA++++ in my exact shade, that also has Vit C and Whitening, and files my taxes for me!!! Just as long as it is still just as soothing and nice to use. Is that too much to ask the gods for? I have heard that their new Sunstick is very good for re-applying over makeup I would like to try that as well. I would also be very interested in trying the SKIN1004, and will very likely buy it the next time I order from Korea. Thanks so much for the recommendation, Muffin!!! I have mild Rosasea, and flush easily with the summer heat, and have found some Centella products really calming and helpful. I would love something that not only didn't irritate my skin in a "flare-up", but also actively treated and soothed it like a Centella sheet mask or cream does. Seems like a good bet to try this one, and see if it can "unseat" the Rice+Probiotic SPF...especially in the hottest months when I still prefer to use the Biore UV Watery Essence over BoJ.

[@jinx3903]

[@reyningsunshine]

I have a special interest in sunscreens! My favorite Korean sunscreen is the Purito Daily Go-To. I know after Sunscreengate/the SPF scandal, a lot of people are hesitant to trust Purito again, but I trust the independent lab testing. I have dry to normal skin, and for me, it feels even better than the Beauty of Joseon one. For dry-dry skin, I really like Frudia’s Ultra UV Sun Shield Essence and Bellflower’s Avocado Moisture. B.Lab’s matcha one is less emollient and feels a little “sticky” on me (and it seems to hold up better to sweat), so I think it could be a good option for normal, combo, or maybe oily skin or under makeup.

[@crimbleland]

The Centella cica sunscreen is my fave!!!! BOJ is a little too dewy for me but I still love it.

[@slumber8120]

aaaa, i'm definitely going to try the skin1004 one! i've been using the beauty of joseon one for a while and i LOVE it - the finish is beautiful, it's not too sticky, and it doesn't irritate my skin or eyes. the only annoyance for me is that because it's a squeeze-y tube it's very easy for me to dispense more than i actually need... so the pump on the skin1004 one is very intriguing. 👀 eta: and i bet sunscreen sticks would be great for reapplication over tattoos if you're out and about and can't wash your hands (i HATEEEE the feeling of sunscreen on my hands).

[@czechmatey]

The pump on the SKIN1004 is so nice and if feel like the BOJ one is even the slightest bit heavy, it will feel like you're wearing almost nothing with the SKIN1004.

[@Siberius-]

I use a pump spray sunscreen (Bondi Sands one) for the back of my hands. Using a stick on the fingers and a bit between the fingers sounds like it would be annoying, and I don't know how many swipes to do. A pump spray bottle is certainly not as portable for reapplication.

Beauty of Joseon's Sunscreen is good, you can use it without a moisturizer, but i do find it a little glowy

[@claudiaadams8650]

Thanks for the recs! I have a really picky sunscreen person in my life and I am personally on the tanner side, so white cast and the finish of sunscreens are both super important factors for us to consider when shopping sunscreens! Where we are the spf gets to 11 and my partner is quite pale and sunburns within 5 mins so we really need a good sunscreen or two for face and body when we absolutely have to go out during the highest uv of the day. We've also gotten some clothes specifically for uva/uvb protection based on an article from your blog. :)

As of now, my favorite Korean sunscreen is the SNP UV Perfect Air Cool Sun Cream. It's the only Korean sunscreen that has a matte finish. These newer Korean sunscreems feel so heavy and greasy on the skin, and they sting around the eye area, too. I also like the Skin1004 sunscreen. It's on the moisturizing side, but not nearly as greasy or as heavy as the Beauty Of Joseon one. After watching this, i'm kinda curious to try the Benton one.

I would've loved to try these recs! but sadly I'm allergic to niacinamide, so I'm unable to use everything on the list :/ Would love to know which sunscreens are your favs Michelle (ones that don't include niacinamide)

Just stumbled onto your channel and it gets my beauty nerd juices flowing. Love your content, chef's kiss. Any insights on A'pieu pure block? It's my go to Korean sunscreen and I have been using it for years. I have normal skin, prone to dehydration and hyperpigmentation (thanks to my Korean mom for that last bit.)

Hm. You made me really curious about the Jumiso. I’ll add it to the cart. You monster!!!

Seeing the neogen sunscreen in your intro I remember i loved it last summer but stopped buying it because it was too damn expensive.

Hi! Love your content and especially your humor! Have you talked about using magic eraser towels (or similar) for makeup removal? Science behind how these work? Good or bad? Thank you! Recently discovered and am intrigued!

This is the first video on your channel that I've watched and I really like your content! I'm curious of your thoughts on sport-focused sunscreens that don't come off with sweat?

Hi michelle, I would like ask you a question that has been perturbing me for awhile. I have been seeing a lot of comments online saying that if you use retinol at night, you need to wash it off first thing in the morning as it reacts negatively with the morning sunscreen you apply later. May I ask if this is indeed true? Normally I just wash my face with water in the morning to avoid over cleansing but because of this claim I have been washing off my retinol with foaming cleanser in the morning which makes my face drier. Is there really a need to do this? Appreciate your views on this. Thanks!

BEWARE of Beauty of Joseon sunscreen is not for everyone. I am from Southeast Asia and have been living in Canada. I have been using CANMAKE sunscreen and recently tried Beauty of Joseon. Sadly it doesn't work on my facial skin. I applied it liberally (thick two fingers rule) in the morning at 7 AM and mostly stayed indoor. When I was outside I wore a sun hat. I started to feel itchy on my eyelid about an hour or so after I applied, and didn't notice until 5 PM on that day that I had this red bumps on my eye lids and foreheads. The next morning my eyes were swollen. The reaction was like sun poisoning. I thought I didn't apply it enough. That 2nd day I used it again using more amount than the first day, and 3rd day morning my red patching, roughness (like sand paper) on facial skin and the swelling on the eyelids had gotten worse. It took 1 week for my skin to heal.

BOJ is also my favorite, SKIN1004 recently made me break out, FYI for anyone who's trying to compare. I have normal (sorta combo) and mildly sensitive skin that's usually completely free of blemishes but after using SKIN1004 for a few weeks small blemishes started to come out. When I compare both BOJ and 1004 the side with 1004 does feel tighter (not in a good way) whereas the BOJ feels just moisturizing enough (in California). I would've switched to 1004 if I was to travel to a tropical region but alas... anyone has recommendation for a sunscreen lighter than BOJ that might work in humid weather? :)

and Thank Michelle :)

I am still really loving beauty of joseon! I apply A LOT too. Because my hair is quite short on sides of my head. I cover my entire face, neck, sides of head, back of head, back neck, and even ears. And I don’t feel like a complete grease ball. There’s definitely a sheen but I never personally mind it. I’ve dealt with much worse shininess from sunscreens. My only concern is about how well it would stay on when sweating. I use Dr. Jart when I know I’ll be in the heat of South Florida more that day. But if anyone can recommend a good water resistant light weight sunscreen let me know! My skin type is generally similar to Michelle’s.

Hi, bought the jumiso waterfall sunscreen on yr recommendation. Love the texture & it's one of the few sunscreens that doesn't break me out. However, it stings my eye & skin around the eyes badly. Would like to ask if you can recommend other sunscreens that's similar to that, which don't cause such reaction?
