This one is also really good.11:37–11:41
This one is a definite yes for me.
I think it's really worth the hype.10:25–10:29
This is my go-to sunscreen for the winter.10:29–10:35
It is so deeply hydrating and moisturizing whilst also being like a really lightweight lotion texture.10:32–10:37
It doesn't feel heavy or like I've got anything sitting on the skin whilst also being very nourishing for my dry skin during the colder winter months.10:48–10:51
There's no fragrance to it, no white cast. It's not greasy.11:00–11:04
Gives a lovely dewy finish.
I think this is a top pick for people with dry sensitive skin who want that extra hydration and moisture.11:04–11:11
It is a holy grail of mine.
It is absolutely worth the hype in my opinion.
It is so deeply hydrating and moisturizing, but it's still so lightweight and just feels like a lightweight lotion.5:10–5:18
It is very comfortable. It's not sticky. It's not greasy.5:20–5:25
It gives the most wonderful glow, which is beautiful for dry skin.5:23–5:30
It doesn't leave a white cast. It's great on my sensitive skin.5:41–5:44
It's just such a texturally elegant formulation, but still provides that hydration and moisture.5:48–5:52
There's just nothing I can fault about it.6:06–6:11
You guys know I love this one.33:30–33:34
This is my go-to sunscreen for the colder months because it's just got that little bit more heft to it.33:33–33:41
It's richer.33:39–33:43
It's more deeply hydrating and nourishing.33:39–33:45
My dry skin really enjoys it during the colder months.
The texture of it is still pretty lightweight.33:45–33:49
It's got a thin creamy lotion kind of texture.33:49–33:54
Absorbs in really nicely to the skin.33:51–33:55
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
You guys know the Beauty of Joseon is very very popular.1:04–1:09
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
I gave it to my husband. He loved it so much.6:15–6:18
It's a little bit more moisturizing.6:18–6:21
It's a viral favorite for its moisturizer-like texture, but it does leave you with a little bit of a natural dewy finish.6:25–6:29
It's really lightweight. It's not sticky.6:37–6:41
If you're somebody who wears makeup, I think it's perfect under makeup because it will hydrate.6:42–6:46
If you have tiny little fine lines like especially like I do around the eyes and things like that, it will hydrate. So, when you put makeup on top, those lines won't be as visible.6:44–6:49
The sunscreen is really good to calm and hydrate skin while supporting the moisture barrier.6:53–6:57
It's really best for that dry combination or maybe even like sensitive skin.6:57–7:01
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
Best sunscreen I've ever used truly.21:14–21:19
I have tried and like all three of their sunscreens.20:08–20:11
If I do the blind test, I cannot really tell.11:54–11:59
Both are great. Just get it whatever is on sale.11:56–12:01
If you guys only tried one of it, just try the other one. It's great.11:59–12:06
I love both.12:03–12:07
If I use this in the class, so many people ask me what is that sunscreen? It feels amazing.12:09–12:14
I see some people are allergic to the ingredients. So keep that in mind.12:29–12:37
I feel like you guys all know about this sunscreen.15:17–15:22
In my opinion, this was like one of the first things like from Korean skincare that I heard about in the States.15:20–15:24
