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.
AI summary based on Thingtesting reviews
The new aqua sunscreen has a beautiful natural/matte finish and is more lightweight than the original. It also doesn't break my skin out or make it oily. It also wears well under makeup and other products.

Welp this product their sunscreen also leaves a horrible white cast and I can’t stand it because everything else they have works wonders and ): I love using the serums but unfortunately the spf is not it so don’t buy

Workhorse of a brand— rarely ever do formulations from this brand NOT work for me. I'm a big fan of the OG sunscreen, the glow serum (pictured below) and the ginger toning water. The serum in particular is lovely— quick to absorb and light. It's fairly hydrating, but I would still apply a moisturiser after to seal it in. Comes in a dropper format, so good for travel!

📢 Listen up sun worshippers!!! 👇👇👇 Okay, so if it wasn't clear before, I am a huge sunscreen geek. One of my absolute FAVORITE brands is Beauty of Joseon. It's a cult classic for a reason y'all! This summer I've been doing a lot of trail running 🏃♀️➡️ and biking 🚵🏻♀️ outdoors, and I'm really digging the portable stick sunscreens. 😎 When I got a chance to test this one out by my one of my favorite Korean skincare brands, I jumped at the opportunity! 👋 This matte sunscreen stick is ACTUALLY white cast free and matte! Love it when brands live up to their claims 👌. It has Mugwort (we always called this river sage growing up) and Camelia (part of the tea family), making for a soothing balm like experience. It's the perfect size for a purse or running vest, which is SO important for reapplication! Pro tip- screw it all the way down before re-capping...don't ask me how I figured this out 😂 I love the texture, portability, and calming effect of this sunscreen stick, and to really kick it up a notch it's rated SPF50+ 😘 [ginger joy currently being experienced ✨️] I love this stick and will probably go through at least a few more before summers end, plus some because I've gotten into the habit of giving these away to friends 🧡 ...THE PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW!!! ‼️Beauty of Joseon - Matte Sun Stick [18g] will also be available for 20% OFF from May 27, 2024 to June 26, 2024‼️ Use code VIRGO1111 at checkout for an extra discount, or just use the link in my bio (under favorites 😍) This product was received in exchange for an honest review.

The Beauty of Joseon Revive Eye Serum with Ginseng + Retinal is one of the few eye creams that actually feels like it’s doing something 🌿. It hydrates and slightly brightens my under-eye area, and I’ve noticed less puffiness in the morning. It’s gentle enough for daily use, though if you’re sensitive to retinals, start slow to avoid irritation ✨.

This mask is my go-to when my skin feels irritated or stressed. It’s super calming, fits well on the face, and leaves my skin soft and soothed. Perfect for sensitive days when I need a gentle reset. 🌿🧖♀️

This sunscreen stick is so elegant—velvety texture, zero white cast, and a naturally matte finish that layers beautifully over skincare. But if your base isn’t prepped well, it can pill under foundation or concealer. Still, perfect for touch-ups on the go.

جربت واقي الشمس Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun Rice + Probiotics SPF50+ PA++++، وكان من أفضل التجارب بالنسبة لي. تركيبته خفيفة ومرطبة، ما بيسبب لمعة أو بيض تحت الميكاب. مناسب للبشرة الحساسة ومش بيعمل تهيّج أو انسداد للمسام. لكن لو بشرتك دهنية جدًا، ممكن تحسيه ثقيل شوية بعد فترة.

El tónico de ciruela con AHA+BHA y el sérum de salvado de arroz fueron de los primeros productos de K-beauty que usé. Los aplico en mi rutina nocturna y me ayudan a dejar la piel suave, luminosa y bien cuidada. Tienen un lugar especial en mi corazón porque fueron mi puerta de entrada al skincare coreano. 💛

The Ginseng and Retinol Eye Serum is gentle, absorbs quickly and doesn't leave a greasy feeling- clean. I've noticed a reduction in my crows feet around my eyes after using this nightly for a few months. The price is great considering how little you need and how much the pump has.

The Beauty of Joseon sunscreen is fantastic! It’s super light and watery, so you barely feel it on your skin once applied. There’s no white cast left behind, and it’s completely scent-free, which is a big plus. It’s perfect for daily use and feels so comfortable on the skin—you can forget you’re even wearing sunscreen

LEAVES NO WHITE CAST!! Its amazing, i use it every single day and its so nice! Would 100% recommend. Worth the price. Amazing!!

It has a very pleasant consistency that makes it easy to use. Despite matting, it leaves the effect of healthy and nourished skin. Ends quickly.

SNAIL Mucin is a must-have in my beauty routine. I love this product and have seen a difference in my skin since starting K-beauty last year. Consistency is key.

I have being looking for sunscreen that will not only protect me buh moisturize my face and no white cast at all and i decide to try the beauty of Joseon sunscreen i cant explain how good and how moisturize your feel will look like after using it and really easy to blend

One of my favorite K-Beauty brands!! I love their suncream, is so lightweight and it doesn't leave any white cast. Another product I really love is their dynasty cream, I use it at night routine ,it's a rich hydrating cream but feels lightweight because it's made of rice.

“Glow in a Bottle” literally!! The Beauty of Joseon Glow Deep Serum with rice and alpha arbutin is hands down one of my skincare favorites. From the first drop, it gave my dull skin an instant glow, Over time I’ve noticed how much it’s evened out my complexion and brought a brightness I didn’t think was possible. And let me just say—the Essence Water? Total game changer. It preps my skin perfectly, making everything else just sink in beautifully. If you’re looking for that effortless glow, this duo is the best kept secret.


My absolute favorite product from Beauty of Joseon is the Ginseng essence water!!! My skin loves it & absorbs it so well, I did have some trouble with glow serum, mostly because of the propolis ingredient. Since I didn't have any pimples, I felt like it was creating pimples to get rid of 😆 It did leave me with an amazing glow though, it just wasn't the right serum for me.

It's so refreshing

I used a product from Beauty of Joseon and it was decent overall. The texture felt nice and it absorbed well, but I didn’t notice any major changes in my skin. Not bad, just not super impressive either.
