Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun: Rice + Probiotics SPF50+ PA++++ 50ml

A lightweight daily sunscreen that protects without white cast or grease

• Absorbs into the skin in seconds.
• Blends in clear, like a regular moisturiser.
• Designed to look invisible across a wide range of skin tones, from fair to deep.
• Formulated to stay stable, so it's less likely to run into or sting your eyes when you sweat.
• Leaves a smooth, hydrated, glass-skin base that keeps makeup looking fresh.

Why it works

It's formulated with micro-capsule chemical filters — organic filters that melt into the skin on contact. Instead of sitting on top like a thick physical shield, these filters absorb UV light and convert it into a small amount of heat, helping protect your skin cells before damage occurs.

The formula also swaps heavy oils for 30% fermented rice extract and grain probiotics. Because these ingredients are close to what skin recognises, they absorb comfortably — giving hydration and a healthy glow without a suffocating, greasy film.

Benefits

• Barrier support: fermented probiotics that help support the skin's microbiome while it's protected from UV.
• Hydration: rice extracts rich in vitamins B, C and E to help hydrate and plump the skin.
• Sensitive-skin friendly: free from artificial fragrance, essential oils and common irritants.
• Makeup friendly: layers easily under bases without caking or pilling.
• Seamless finish: absorbs quickly for a subtle, natural glow.

Good to know

Beauty of Joseon tested this formula across laboratories in South Korea and Spain, where it met the SPF 50+ and PA++++ ratings for protection against both UVB (burning) and UVA (ageing). As with any sunscreen, reapply through the day for continued protection, and pair it with other sun-safe habits.

Skin type compatibility

• Normal, dry & dehydrated skin: a genuinely hydrating step — often enough that you can skip a separate morning moisturiser.
• Combination skin: fits comfortably into most routines; some people prefer to skip their moisturiser underneath.
• Oily skin: may feel a little dewy or rich in warmer months. If that's you, the lighter Relief Sun: Aqua-Fresh is the better pick.

Common questions

Does it leave a white cast on deeper skin tones?
It's formulated with chemical UV filters rather than physical zinc or titanium, so it blends in far more clearly than a mineral sunscreen — though as with any sunscreen, it's worth swatching to see how it suits your tone.

Will it break me out or clog pores?
It's lightweight and non-comedogenic, using rice extracts in place of heavy oils, so it hydrates without a suffocating feel.

Is the SPF 50+ rating real?
Yes — the formula was independently lab-tested and met the SPF 50+ and PA++++ standards in facilities in South Korea and Spain.

Can I wear it under makeup?
Yes. It absorbs in seconds and behaves like a hydrating primer, for a smooth, non-pilling base.

Will it sting my eyes when I sweat?
It's formulated with stable filters designed to stay put rather than migrate, so it's less likely to run into your eyes — though everyone's skin is different.
