Beauty of Joseon Daily Tinted Fluid Sunscreen 12 Shades for Face Moisturizing Broad Spectrum SPF 40 Korean Skincare 50ml, 1.69 fl.oz #LN110

Before purchasing, I read countless reviews and noticed there were a lot of mixed opinions. After trying it myself, I can confidently say this product performs exactly as advertised. It’s incredibly lightweight, and while it does have a slight tint, it’s important to understand that it’s not intended to function as a foundation or BB cream. As a licensed esthetician, I think some of the negative reviews mentioning greasiness or poor absorption are likely due to overapplication. A little truly goes a long way. When applied in a thin, even layer, it absorbs beautifully into the skin and layers perfectly underneath makeup without feeling heavy. I highly recommend this sunscreen for anyone looking for a lightweight zinc oxide formula that doesn’t leave behind the typical white cast. It gives great protection while still feeling elegant on the skin.

If you're cool-toned like me and look horribly orange when using most any skin tint, bb cream, etc. you should definitely try this! Every other product I've tried pulls way too warm and yellowy/orangey on me. Also great if you need some tint in your SPF but don't want to look like (or feel like) you're wearing any makeup. Color: I've had trouble finding cool-toned tints from Western brands; it seems the "default" light or neutral colors for most Western brands is too warm for me, so I always looked "off" and didn't know why. Products that fall into this category for me include the Australian Botanicals tinted spf (oxidized VERY orange on me); maybelline fresh bb cream (their light-medium was closer to my skin tone, but still too warm and dark); bare minerals loose powder spf 15 foundation in fairly light (too warm and dark, this one was my fault, as I didn't know I had cool skin when I purchased it). I was also, however, worried about lightness in K-beauty spf products, as I've used bb creams like Missha (pulled grey on me, very strange) and others which basically leave a noticeable white cast and not much else in terms of color. Thus, I was worried this lightest shade in this product would be TOO light for me, but it isn't. It's quite subtly pigmented with a great formula that blends out quickly and dries into a soft, powdery, silicone-based skin primer-type feel. I think this helps with shade matching, ie you don't have to worry too much about a perfect match here because it's light enough coverage to become your-skin-but-better (rather than an obvious "I'm wearing makeup" type product) so long as you pick one that matches your skin color to the best of your ability. Coverage / formula: Light coverage! I love this, as I don't wear makeup. I only switched to this tint because I'd wear heavy duty, non-tinted SPF and still end up with a bright red face for days afterward. My skin is very reactive to sunlight even if I'm getting sufficient UV protection. I thought I was getting sunburned, but I wasn't. I actually just needed a tinted spf formula so that its color would physically block light. (If you experience this, please look up vascular reactivity! I have a connective tissue disorder which results in this). Now, I did NOT want any sort of tint to my spf since I don't wear makeup, and previous tinted SPFs and BB creams I've used (IT cosmetics, physician's formula CC cream, for instance) leave such a thick, obvious finish that I thought I'd look crazy if I only wore a tinted SPF without any other makeup (mascara, for example). Thankfully, this formula is so light and subtle in its coverage that I feel absolutely no need to wear any other makeup with it, as it simply does not look like I'm wearing a cakey foundation. If you're looking for something thicker with more coverage, this is not the product. This is for people who hate makeup and want the bare minimum tint in a product that they need to get the skincare benefits (for me, it's to prevent my hyperreactive face skin from getting bright red from sunlight). I would liken this to a lighter, cooler-toned, more pleasant to work with, and far less expensive version of the La Roche Posay anthelios tinted mineral sunscreen. It's that same kind of liquid-y formula, maybe a touch more viscous. TL;DR If you hate makeup, hate the feel of applying SPF in general, don't want to look like you're wearing any color at all, and want something liquidy and light that blends seamlessly into your skin color, this is for you!

I like this product but wish I’d researched a little more and/or read more thorough reviews before I purchased. I’m in my late 40s, have good skin but starting to have slight signs of aging like fine lines and minor discoloration, and my skin is dry. I prefer hydrating light coverage base products with a dewy finish. I’ve tried several tinted sunscreens and tinted skin tints with sunscreen, looking for one product that can wear alone/in place of traditional foundation. This one isn’t going to be that product for me, as it is just TOO sheer. It offers almost zero coverage at all, which is fine but not exactly my preference and I already have several tinted spf products that offer sheer coverage in my collection. I will use it - it feels nice, looks nice under other coverage products, and is good for a daily sunscreen. I just wanted this to have a little more coverage so I wouldn’t need another coverage product on a daily basis. I think this product is best for anyone looking for a hydrating sunscreen who isn’t concerned about actual coverage offered. Pros: hydrating, non-irritating, wears well under makeup, high spf coverage, non-drying. Cons: sheer coverage, doesn’t “set” on its own, probably not suited for oily skin types.

I really wanted to love this. I read the reviews, good and bad, and crossed my fingers. I'm not one of the lucky ones. It's going back. But I'm giving it three stars for what it did do well. First, it went on beautifully. It didn't pill and it spread like a dream. And it was gorgeous on. I had a beautiful, dewy glow that scared me as an oily girl. If you're oily, you know the one. The, "yeah, it looks great now, but I'll be able to fry an egg on my forehead by noon." It took ages to dry down to a point that it didn't feel gross on my face. Once it did, I decided that I could use it through the winter, but I probably wouldn't repurchase. I can't imagine how it would feel in the hot, humid months... That temporary gross feeling aside, it was almost everything I was hoping for. I didn't look like a ghost from the usual white cast I get from sunscreens, it didn't smell, and my skin tone was a little more even to boot. It did settle in the lines around my eyes, but I never got that super oily look! Unfortunately, the reason for that was clear by the end of the day. I had to wash my face much sooner than I usually would because my skin was so dry it was itchy and painful. I had to break out my heavy duty moisturizer I usually reserve for the middle of winter. So, if you have super oily skin and don't have a skincare routine that revolves around balancing said oil, this might work for you.

What a wonderful tint!! i've tried all price points/brands, drugstore, high end- this one is perfection. It melts into your skin and dries down quickly allowing me time to put my foundation over it. It does have a tint but if you go with a lighter shade it will work perfectly. I love the lightweight texture and silky feel. I will be purchasing this product again, really great!!!

This is SUCH a great product, even for mature skin!! It's tinted so it gives a very nice sheen to the skin, it still shows stubborn redness and red pimples, but that's to be expect with just a tint. Me and my mom tried it on our skin and even with different setting powders it looked great! The powder i used on my mom in the photo is the Polite Society's More Than A Pretty Powder and the combo I SWEAR made her skin look like she had a filter in real life. We applied with our finger tips as a brush was too streaky and the sponge soaked up far too much for my liking. Then we waiting about a minute with fanning to let it settle into the skin before applying the different powders, in her case the Polite Society and in my case the viral Laura Mercia (tho I 1000% perfer the polite society, she wanted to try a different one for my skin). And both combos gave similar results. One draw back I noticed while taking off my lip stick was that some of the foundation and powder came off with dry toilet paper (softer than paper towels and the sticky gloss didn't stick to my normal makeup removing towel). This could be because I did not use a setting spray or the powder didn't set correctly, either way, just a note.

I REALLY wanted to love this. I got 2 shades to try out and I found that mixed together, they were a good shade match. I gave this a fair shot and tried it out consistently, wearing it inside, and wearing it outside in 90 degree NYC humid weather. The coverage is not bad for a tinted sunscreen. It just slightly blurs imperfections and evens your skin tone. On that front, I wasn’t expecting too much, and I don’t want to wear heavy makeup in the hot NYC summer, so I was fine with the coverage. Not a huge fan of how it applies… it feels really greasy and runny when you apply it, and you have to wait for it to dry down before it becomes matte. Like all mineral sunscreens, I don’t recommend this if you have dry skin. It will cling to dry patches, but it is great if you have oily skin or sweat a lot. Now to the reason I gave it 2 stars… it just felt HORRIBLE on my skin. I can’t even describe the feeling - no other product has felt like that on my skin. I don’t have sensitive skin when it comes to makeup or beauty products. I’m only sensitive to metals in jewelry. And it almost felt like there were metals in this with how it made my skin feel. There was no visible reaction - I didn’t get red, or break out, or anything like that. But from the moment I put it on, til the moment I wiped it off, it felt itchy and drying and tight. The best way I can describe it, is it felt like I rubbed moist clay all over my skin then lay out to bake in the sun, and the clay was drying and tightening all over my face and starting to crack open. LOL. Horrible sensation! I tried to push through it because as I said, I wanted to love this. But eventually I finally had to give up and unfortunately, it was already passed the return window.

I like the coverage and the quality. However, if you have dry skin, I am not sure if it is a good fit for you because after a few hours, your skin starts feeling dry. I use a spray to hydrate again, but not everyone wants to be doing that.

I bought this sunscreen for everyday use, and it delivers excellent protection without feeling heavy. It’s affordable, feels soft on the skin, and doesn’t clog my pores. Even when I’ve been under direct sun, it kept my skin safe from burning. Great value for what you get , a reliable and easy‑to‑wear face SPF. 💛
