Korean SPF 50+ moisturiser has transformer my skincare

After hearing about the benefits of Korean skincare products, particularly their use of natural ingredients that promote a healthy glow, I recently made a change in my skincare routine. The Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun Rice and Probiotics SPF50 is currently available at a discounted price on LookFantastic, reduced from £15.50 to £12.40, and it has completely taken over the role of my daily moisturiser.

The formula is lightweight and non-greasy, offering sun protection factor 50+PA defence, providing full protection against sun damage and premature ageing. What struck me first was that it doesn’t feel like sunscreen at all, instead leaving the skin feeling hydrated with a subtle, healthy glow.

My skin felt so moisturised that I didn’t need to use a separate moisturiser – it also sits well under makeup, which can be a challenge with sunscreens. The only drawback I found is that the bottle isn’t very large, so it may run out quickly, but it’s a convenient size for carrying around.

Another excellent option is the Supreme Screen SPF 50+ Hydrating SKINSCREEN 50ml by Australian brand Ultra Violette. This one is currently discounted at Boots from £34 to £27.20 and offers various options for different skin types.

Look Fantastic has also reduced the La Roche-Posay Anthelios Suncream SPF50+ 50ml by 20%. This non-perfumed product is designed for sensitive skin types. Normally priced at £20, it’s currently on sale for £16.

The Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun Rice cream stands out due to its affordability and simple formulation. It attracts customers for its rice water content, which is touted to brighten dull skin and address pigmentation issues—a star component in this product.

I’ve introduced it into my daily regimen recently, noticing my skin’s hydration levels boosted significantly post-application, albeit without a marked change in skin tone as of yet.

Over at LookFantastic, beauty enthusiasts have catapulted the Korean sunscreen to stardom with a stellar 4.77 rating. Enthusiastic users left glowing reviews; one said: “This is truly the best SPF I have used. It stayed great under makeup, didn’t make me super oily. Left me looking healthy and glowy with no residue feeling.”

Customer Sammie praised the sun cream for its light texture and dewy finish, which is free of a greasy feel or unwelcome white cast.

Repeat purchaser Yas shared high satisfaction, writing: “On my 100th tube and will never stop repurchasing. [LookFantastic’s] offer was beyond fantastic!”

However, skin type does make a difference—my normal to oily complexion benefits from it, but those with drier skin may find it lacking, echoing Sally’s review: “It’s very light and watery. I need another moisturiser under it because it’s not thick enough for my dry skin.”

For those seeking out extra hydration, Ultra Violette’s hydrating option might be the perfect alternative.
