Beauty of Joseon Sunscreen

Pros

• Lightweight, non-greasy texture that feels like a light lotion
• No white cast for most users, even on various skin tones
• Layers elegantly under makeup without pilling
• Moisturizing enough to potentially replace a separate morning moisturizer

Cons

• Can cause cystic acne or closed comedones for some skin types
• Frequent reports of stinging or burning when applied near the eyes
• The Rice + Probiotics version can feel sticky to some users
• May cause redness or irritation for those sensitive to niacinamide

Caveats

• Users emphasize a preference for the Korean version over the American formulation
• Fermented ingredients (probiotics) may trigger reactions in some users
• Risk of counterfeit products if not purchased from reputable retailers like Olive Young

• People who dislike the heavy feel of traditional sunscreens
• Layering under foundation or cushions

Avoid if
