Beauty of Joseon earns strong reviews for gentle, elegant formulas that often perform—especially its Relief Sun, Aqua Sun, and Matte Sun Stick, which feel lightweight, layer well under makeup, and frequently avoid white cast while leaving a dewy-to-matte, comfortable finish. Reviews also flag inconsistencies: some sunscreens run oily or shiny on combo/oily skin, occasional white cast under flash or on some tones, potential pilling with the stick if skin isn’t prepped, and several serums and eye patches feeling underwhelming or irritating to sensitive eyes.
I used to use beauty of joseons probiotic sunscreen and I was really sad when I found it they no longer sold the same product in the US market. I was able to get this while traveling and found it to be light with no white cast. I'm excited to keep using it to see if the formula is as good as I remember
The formulation is great and doesn’t leave the skin sticky. The effects of retinal are amazing as I’ve researched on it and this formulation is gentler on my skin than other formulas. I like it but haven’t seen significant results.
This sunscreen is a lighter version of the Relief Sun Rice standard one and feels super nice on the skin, especially during summer or hotter days, this is my go-to. I absolutely love how it gives my skin a nice glow and how it leaves me feeling nourished, moisturized and UV protected. Will repurchase again and again.
Hands-down the best sunscreen ever. Leaves the skin feeling nourished, not greasy at all, no white cast and taken care of. I like the subtle glow it gives me and use it basically as my day cream. It stings a tiny bit when I get too close to the eyes, but that's easily avoidable. Have purchased this many times and will repurchase again and again. Have also gifted this sunscreen.
Beauty of Joseon crafts natural skincare products inspired by Korean heritage.
