Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun: Rice + Probiotics SPF 50+

in response to Erin Boyle

//Thank you for all of these amazing recommendations! There are so many here that actually have me looking forward to a test-drive! Will report back once I've properly guinea-pigged myself!// Unfortunately, I have extremely low expectations, but I am once again asking for recommendations for a sunscreen that 1.) won't make my face look like an actual zombie 2.) won't make me feel like i'm wearing foundation and 3.) most critically, won't make me want to claw my poor watering eyes out for the duration of wear.

The potential downside is: it can be difficult to get the real Korean formulation (vs. the US version) depending where you live. I’m in LA and just pop out to the Korean skincare shop and buy multiple at once. I think it’s more hit-or-miss online.

But if you can get it, it’s non-reactive, effective, doesn’t do a thing to my eyes, and dries down with no white cast but gives my skin a gorgeous glow instead.

“Skin care for me is 90% placebo/escapism/ritual. It's the illusion that I'm taking care of myself that I'm after, rather than the actual potential benefits of the cream itself (although the SPF and the silky feel is a bonus). A sweet self-deception which I recommend.”

“Specifically this one from the brand, it is lovely and mild and leaves my skin feeling better than before applying. Others from the brand did irritate my eyes.”
