The famous Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun Rice + Probiotics might be TikTok’s most viral Korean sunscreen. While that formula is no longer available in the US, the brand recently launched this new sun cream that meets the FDA’s requirements. The lightweight, moisturizing formula is packed with hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, panthenol, and rice extract for a finish that feels much creamier and more comfortable than you’d expect from your SPF. And it makes skin look impressively glowy. “Hyaluronic acid draws moisture into the skin and plumps the surface, creating the smooth, luminous effect associated with glass skin,” says Dr. Hwang. “It also supports barrier function, making the skin appear healthier and more reflective.”
“My favorite thing about this glass-skin sunscreen is that it layers exceptionally well with makeup, from foundation, to cushion compacts, to concealer,” says Wu. “And it has everything I want from my daily sunscreen, like broad-spectrum SPF 50 protection and a water-resistant, noncomedogenic formula that doesn’t clog my pores.”
