What makes the "Rice + Probiotics" formula unique?
This sunscreen is rooted in Hanbang, or traditional Korean herbal medicine, featuring 30% Rice Extract and Grain Fermented Extracts. Rice has been used for centuries in Korea for its brightening and skin-smoothing properties, while the probiotics help strengthen the skin's natural barrier and keep the microbiome balanced, ensuring your skin stays healthy and resilient under the sun.
Does the Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun leave a white cast or a greasy finish?
No, this is a chemical sunscreen designed to be completely invisible upon application. It has a lightweight, cream-like texture that blends seamlessly into all skin tones with zero white cast or ashy residue. It leaves a moist, natural finish that looks like a healthy glow rather than a greasy film, making it comfortable for all-day wear.
Is this sunscreen suitable for oily and acne-prone skin?
While it is highly moisturizing and a favorite for dry and combination skin, those with oily skin often find they can use it as a 2-in-1 product by skipping their morning moisturizer. It is non-comedogenic and free of artificial fragrances and essential oils, meaning it won't clog pores or irritate active breakouts, making it safe for acne-prone and sensitive skin types.
How do I apply this for maximum protection?
To achieve the labeled SPF 50+ PA++++ protection, you should apply an adequate amount—typically using the "two-finger rule" (two strips of sunscreen along your index and middle fingers) for the face and neck. Apply it as the final step of your morning skincare routine at least 15–20 minutes before sun exposure to allow the filters to set properly.
Can I use the Relief Sun: Rice + Probiotics under makeup?
Absolutely. In fact, many users prefer it as a makeup primer because of its nourishing, lotion-like consistency. It creates a smooth, hydrated base that helps foundation and concealer glide on without pilling or clinging to dry patches, ensuring your makeup stays looking fresh and dewy throughout the day.
