The most oily skin-friendly Korean sunscreens
In the past, I tended to skip sunscreens in my routine pretty often because most of them felt greasy and heavy on my oily skin. Plus, they often made my acne worse, so I hated using them, even knowing that I absolutely should. I all changed since I've discovered Korean skincare a few years ago and absolutely fell in love with it, especially with Korean sunscreens! Here are some of my favourite ones, along with my detailed review of each of them:

ā¤ļøāØIsntree Hyaluronic Acid Watery Sun GelāØā¤ļø I received this product for free from Isntree in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own. @isntree is a Korean clean and cruelty-free skincare brand founded by a popular K-beauty blogger. The brand produces effective and affordable skincare using safe and pure natural ingredients. Hyaluronic Acid Watery Sun Gel is an SPF50+ PA++++ sunscreen that contains 6 chemical filteres to provide strong broad-spectrum protection. It is also infused with an impressive number of skin loving soothing and hydrating ingredients such as: āØ8 types of Hyaluronic Acid āØNiacinamide āØCeramide āØPinus Pinaster Bark Extract āØCentella Asiatica āØFig Fruit Extract āØAdenosine šæMy experience: I was curious about this sunscreen for a while, as it seems to be really popular and loved by many. However, many reviewers mentioned that it might not work well on oily skin due to itās dewy finish, so I ended up never trying it until now. I am very glad that I finally did try it though, because my oily skin actually does like it and I think this sunscreen is totally worth the hype! First of all, the formula is alcohol- and fragrance-free which is always a big plus for me. Second, itās lotion-like, almost fluid texture is incredibly lightweight, absorbs into the skin really fast and doesnāt leave any white cast or stickiness at all! Finally, it makes my skin feel full of moisture without being heavy. I can skip the moisturizer in the morning and go straight to this sunscreen and my skin feels hydrated all day long. It doesnāt feel heavier after multiple reapplications, doesnāt pill and works great under the makeup. Yes, it does have dewy finish, but itās not at all that shiny greasy look everyone with oily skin hates. Itās a beautiful healthy glow that I actually really enjoy having on my face! All in all, by all standards, this is an excellent hydrating sunscreen suitable for all skin types and I highly recommend it to everyone!

šāØIUNIK Centella Calming Daily Sunscreen review I received this product from IUNIK in exchange for my review. All opinions are my own. Iām so glad Iāve got an opportunity to try this new iUNIK sunscreen, cos it is just amazing and quickly became one of my HG sunscreens! Centella Calming Daily Sunscreen is a multifunctional product that offers high-performance UV protection along with moisturizing, soothing, anti-aging and brightening benefits. This organic chemical sunscreen is made just of certified safe ingredients, with no artificial colour or fragrance and is safe for the whole family. āļøKey ingredients: ā Centella Asiatica 49% ā Beta-Glucan ā Niacinamide ā Allantoin ā Adenosine āļøMy experience: One of the best sunscreens Iāve tried this summer! Itās lightweight creamy texture blends perfectly into my skin with no white cast and zero stickiness! 5 minutes after application I donāt even remember Iām wearing sunscreen - it leaves absolutely no residue, has natural velvety and soft finish and doesnāt make me look greasy throughout the day. It never peels or creases no mater how many times itās reapplied and works perfectly with or without makeup. It is really moisturizing without feeling heavy, even for my oily skin, and it does feel quite soothing on hot summer days. It doesnāt cause any irritation neither to my skin nor to my eyes. I even used it on my toddlerās face and she didnāt have any issues either. Itās also bigger then most sunscreens (60ml) and quite affordable (~15 USD). Iām usually quite picky when it comes to sunscreen, cos most of them makes my skin greasy and sticky, but I think IUNIK has nailed it with this one! I absolutely love it and recommend for everyone to try!

Thereās no need for endless rubbing and blending, thereās absolutely no white cast, stickiness or greasiness.

Sunprise Mild Airy Finish Sun Milk SPF50+ PA++++




Glowyforever
š§”Etude House Sunprise Mild Airy finish SPF 50+ PA+++ is my the most favourite Korean sunscreen ever!š§” It is physical sunscreen formulated with zinc oxide and titanium dioxide as active ingredients. The product also contains hyaluronic acid and centella asiatica for hydrating and soothing effect. This sunscreen is labeled as SPF 50 which means itās blocking 98% of UVB rays and PA+++ that offers high UVA protection (Persistent Pigment Darkening (PPD) between 8 and 16, which means that it takes 8-16 times longer for your skin to tan when protected versus when is not). Sunprise sunscreen has really lightweight texture more similar to lotion then cream or typical sunblock. It feels pretty hydrating, has zero white cast, no sticky or greasy residue. My skin is oily, so I really appreciate the matte finish this sunscreen offers. It doesnāt make my skin feel oilier throughout the day, even after multiple reapplication. It also does not breaking me out neither does it irritate my eyes! This is pretty big for me, as lots of sunscreens Iāve tried caused breakouts and were stinging my eyes. It is one of the best sunscreen to use under the makeup! Thereās no pilling at all and it even acts like a primer for me making my foundation stay on better and longer. Almost forgot to mention that itās also super affordable! I bought it on sale just for 7$. Iām absolutely happy with everything about this sunscreen - perfect texture, great price and performance!š§”

āØš¾Iām From Rice Sunscreenš¾āØ I received this product for free from @wishtrend in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own. @imfrom_global is no doubt my favourite Korean skincare brand! It is known for using high quality natural ingredients sourced from Korea as well as for their transparency about the ingredients. Their products Iāve very tried so far never disappointed me and this sunscreen is not an exception! This gentle 100% mineral based sunscreen is formulated with 41% amino-acids rich Yeoju functional rice āGoamiā and provides SPF50+ PA++++ sun protection while also delivering hydration, smoothing and brightening benefits. āļøPrice: 27 USD (50 ml) āØš¾My experience š¾āØ It has very pleasant moist and silky texture, quickly blends into the skin without leaving a white cast or stickiness. It leaves my skin moist, but doesnāt feel heavy at all, which my oily skin really appreciates. The finish is natural, non-shiny, however it does leave a subtle glow. It doesnāt make my skin feel greasy though, even after multiple reapplication. It works great under and over a makeup. Iām From Rice sunscreen is non-irritating, suitable for sensitive skin and for young children. It is also reef friendly! It does have added fragrance, but the smell is very pleasant and not overpowering at all, so I absolutely donāt mind it! All in all, Iām very pleased with this sunscreen and definitely going to repurchase it and recommend to others!
