Beauty Of Joseon Sunscreen Review

I am an outdoorsy person when I am not working. I love beaches and nature. If you are like me, keen on protecting your skin (you should), you’ll know that even the slightest exposure to the sun is a dread. I have Asian skin. My hunt for organic sunscreen took me to the Korean brand Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun: Rice + Probiotics Sunscreen. This sunscreen is blasting the internet. So let me methodically unfurl my findings in this Beauty of Joseon sunscreen review after using it for two months.

Beauty Of Joseon Sunscreen Review: Product Overview

Beauty Of Joseon Sunscreen reviews

Beauty of Joseon Sunscreen is a Korean-brand sunscreen. It is said to contain herbal ingredients that can be traced back to the Joseon Dynasty(1). Oriental medicine is known for its unique and effective herbal formulas. Rice bran water is known as a rich source of minerals and amino acids and was used as a toner during the Joseon Dynasty. It was called ‘Beauty Water’ back then.

Product Packaging And Presentation 

The beauty of Joseon creamy-type organic sunscreen comes in a cardboard package that contains the product. The sunscreen comes in a tube that can be easily squeezed out. To ensure the product is unused and non-contaminated, the tube has a silver foil seal at the nozzle that you need to peel off. 

The tube the cream comes in is quite convenient to use and carry around in your clutch. The beauty of Joseon sunscreen is also available as a roll-on stick.

Skin Type Suitability

This sunscreen has organic ingredients that make it suitable even for sensitive skin types.

As for those with an oily complexion like me, you may skip reapplication unless there is a dire need for a retouch. You may also need to use small amounts of it and skip the moisturizing before applying sunscreen, as it does leave the skin super dewy. You don’t want that on oily skin. 

On dark skin, it may leave a white cast. As it is non-greasy, it is suitable for acne-prone skin as well.

How To Use Beauty Of Joseon Sunscreen?

For me, it is the last step of my skincare routine of cleansing, toning, and moisturizing. But those who have oily skin may skip the moisturizing part as the Beauty of Joseon Sun Relief Rice+ Probiotics SPF 50+ PA++++  is moisturizing on its own. I have oily skin but I love the dewiness on my face. You can slather it generously on all areas that will be exposed to the sun.

Does Beauty Of Joseon Sunscreen Leave A White Cast? 

Nah! Not this one. The way it beautifully gets absorbed into the face is remarkable. If you apply it more than once, you may need to wait for a few seconds for it to get absorbed into the skin fully. Beauty of Joseon sunscreen review also points out that no white cast is a plus. But they also point out that the presence of mbbt, an organic insoluble filter may leave a white cast on darker complexions.

The Beauty Of Joseon Sunscreen Effectiveness

The brand affirms that Beauty of Joseon sunscreen is tested in two labs- one in Korea and the other in Spain for its effectiveness and the results are pretty solid and reassuring. Even the ease of application and the effects on your skin after the use of the product are a testament to its efficacy in pampering your skin the way you want it to be pampered.

Beauty Of Joseon Sunscreen Price 

Beauty of Joseon Sun Relief SPF 50+ PA ++++ 50ml is available at $16.60 and $15.94 on Amazon.

Beauty Of Joseon Sunscreen Side Effects

The side effects of Beauty of Joseon sunscreen are not talked about much as it is a pretty safe product. However, some reviews do suggest that it causes skin irritation, burning sensation, and acne. Skin purging can happen with any product, but allergies are not talked about by many users of the product. The best way to remain safe is by testing it after buying small quantities and testing it on your skin.
