I still like to use the Beauty of Joseon relief sun line.▶ 11:55–11:59
I use the original more often in colder months and the Aquaresh more when it's warm out.▶ 11:57–12:05

The protection this sunscreen offers against UVB radiation, which causes sunburns and skin cancer, is indicated by the SPF rating of 50 plus.▶ 0:23–0:27
Beauty of Joseon's Relief Sun has a UVA protection of 4 plus, which indicates a high level of protection against the UV rays that are responsible for premature skin aging.▶ 0:45–0:50
It's thin but substantial enough to give a smooth and consistent application.▶ 1:36–1:41
I personally really like the finish of this sunscreen.
My skin looks well moisturized but not greasy.▶ 1:47–1:51
I like that it doesn't have a strong fragrance.
The packaging is super functional.▶ 2:01–2:05
I love that it comes in a deformable tube so you can squeeze out every last bit and you also know exactly how much is left.▶ 2:03–2:07

This one is a little bit thicker and I prefer using it in the winter time more.▶ 10:47–10:55
They're basically the same types, just different texture.▶ 10:52–10:59

This is one of the only ones that I found this year that actually doesn't irritate me, doesn't cause white heads, blackheads.▶ 10:19–10:24
I've tried both, as you can see. It's literally I've squeezed the hell out of these.▶ 10:33–10:40
It doesn't irritate me. Doesn't cause white heads and blackheads.▶ 10:21–10:28
It doesn't cause any white cast on my face.▶ 10:54–10:59
It's absolutely perfect and it's Korean and it's affordable.▶ 10:57–11:01

Both of them has rice extracts as well as probiotics.▶ 1:06–1:13
So you're going to get a little bit of brightening, refreshing hydration and all of that goodness to support your skin barrier.▶ 1:11–1:15
These two sunscreens, they feel so dreamy.▶ 1:19–1:23
They're so creamy.▶ 1:21–1:26
They're lightweight.▶ 1:23–1:29
They're refreshing.
Pretty much a good standard or exemplary of what to expect when using K beauty SPFs, especially chemical SPFs, which both of these are.▶ 1:23–1:31
I think with the price point and everything, these are really, really good entry levels to SPFs, especially K beauty SPFs.▶ 1:29–1:35

A staple for so many people for forever now since it came out.▶ 3:34–3:40
This one's like a little bit more richer, a little bit more moisturizing compared to the other two, but still that beautiful creamy texture of a sunscreen that I once again would be happy to wear.▶ 3:40–3:45

The way it feels, I think set the bar for how not just how a sunscreen should feel, but how a moisturizer should feel.▶ 13:33–13:37
I just really haven't deviated far from that.▶ 13:37–13:40

This one is just my go-to.
I feel like it's just such a good hydrator.▶ 1:43–1:48
I still say it is better than almost 90% of the moisturizers you're going to put on your skin.▶ 1:46–1:52
Especially I think if you have like a little bit of a normal to oily combination skin. I think it just lays nice.▶ 1:52–1:54
I would go out of my way to pick up what I knew to be the Korean version in Holland there. So, one of my favorites of all time, still a go-to years later.▶ 2:02–2:06

They didn't have to sponsor anyone everyone was already talking about this product.▶ 3:08–3:16
It is not since the great Korean sunscreen scandal has a moisturizer been this elegantly formulated or has this sunscreen felt just exactly like a moisturizer and that's why everybody loved it.▶ 3:16–3:22
It's nice and light.
It's such a good sunscreen and it deserves all the attention it got.▶ 3:38–3:42
If you are oily you may not love this.▶ 3:36–3:40
As somebody who has an oily T-zone that likes to be dewy I enjoy this.▶ 3:42–3:48
I absolutely love this stuff.▶ 3:56–3:59

Can you see I use it this much? I love this sunscreen. It's amazing. Well-made sunscreen.▶ 7:40–7:46
Whenever I have my business, um, I have to do the makeup outside, I always put this in my makeup bag because it's handy. It's small, easy to carry on. So, I love it. Why not? Affordable.▶ 7:46–7:55

This is one of my favorite Korean sunscreens.▶ 0:46–0:48
I actually gave out little samples of this at my wedding.▶ 0:56–0:59
The old formula was really good for me. It was really glowy, and I really enjoyed that.▶ 1:27–1:37
I know some people did feel that was too heavy or glowy, especially in summer.
