Which Beauty of Joseon sunscreen should you choose? Relief Sun has the creamier finish; Aqua-Fresh is the lighter alternative; Matte Sun Stick offers a matte finish in a portable format. Below, the original review’s wear observations sit alongside product information from the brand. Light On Serum is a separate skincare product with no SPF.
Choose by format and finish
- Rice + Probiotics: the creamier, dewy option described in the original review.
- Rice + B5 Aqua-Fresh: the lighter alternative described by the manufacturer.
- Matte Sun Stick: a solid format with a matte finish. Follow its coverage and reapplication instructions.
These are different products, so check the full name and label. Light On Serum has no SPF and is not one of the sunscreen options.
Relief Sun: Rice + Probiotics SPF50+ PA++++
In the original review, Relief Sun felt creamy but light and left a dewy finish. It remained the reviewer’s personal pick, though that finish may feel too shiny on very oily skin. Consider this version if you prefer a more moisturizing feel. Individual experiences can differ.
Relief Sun Aqua-Fresh: Rice + B5 SPF50+ PA++++
Beauty of Joseon describes Rice + B5 Aqua-Fresh as a lighter formula for combination or oily skin. It is a separate sunscreen from Rice + Probiotics, not simply a replacement for it. This comparison is based on the manufacturer’s information; it does not add a new hands-on test of Aqua-Fresh.
Matte Sun Stick: Mugwort + Camellia SPF50+ PA++++
This one lives in my bag. It’s a twist-up stick with a soft matte finish no tugging, no crumbling, and it layers well even over makeup. Bonus: it doesn’t burn my eyes, which happens way too often with other sticks.
These are the reviewer’s personal wear observations. Apply enough product for even coverage and follow the directions on the packaging; a quick swipe does not establish the protection stated on the label.
Light On Serum is not sunscreen
Light On Serum: Centella + Vita C is a vitamin C skincare serum. It has no SPF rating and does not replace sunscreen, even for brief sun exposure. Beauty of Joseon instructs users to apply sunscreen during the day when using this serum.
Questions before you choose
Can I wear Beauty of Joseon sunscreen under makeup?
The original review liked Relief Sun’s hydrated finish and described the stick as layering well over makeup. Results depend on your other products and how much you apply. Light On Serum may also sit under makeup, but it supplies no sun protection.
How often should I reapply sunscreen?
The American Academy of Dermatology recommends reapplying every two hours outdoors and immediately after swimming or sweating. Follow the product label. For swimming or sport, check for water resistance; SPF alone does not mean a product is water-resistant.
Will it suit sensitive skin or leave a white cast?
The original review described a comfortable finish, but that cannot guarantee the same result on every skin tone or sensitive skin. Check the exact product’s ingredient list and try a small area first. Stop using it if irritation occurs.
