Beauty of Joseon

Relief Sun: Rice + Probiotics SPF50+ PA++++

The one that convinced thousands of people to wear sunscreen daily. No white cast at any depth of skin, no greasy film, and under twenty dollars.

Worth knowing. Korean SPF isn't FDA-regulated as a US drug, so it's sold here as a cosmetic. The filters are modern and well-tested in Korea and the EU. Many US dermatologists are fine with it, but if you want an FDA-regulated product, the La Roche-Posay fluid is the closest equivalent.
