So nice on my skin! Has a matte finish and definitely helps keep my oily skin in check during the day and blends well with my makeup! If you have combination skin then I would be careful using this since it is pretty dry instead of hydrating but otherwise great product! Read more

Applies very easily. Does not feel heavy at all. Makes my face feel soft after. I wish it had a little bit more coverage for hyperpigmentation but not a deal breaker, I’m going to keep using it. Read more

I'm a big fan of Korean skincare because it works and it doesn't have unnecessary ingredients in them. This holds true for this Beauty by Joseon SPF40 Sunscreen. I purchased the LP110 shade and it's very true to color, with pink undertones. It's a very very sheer formula, maybe a little too sheer than I expected. I had hoped it had a bit more color saturation to give an even skintone, but it is more transparent than a tinted moisturizer. It's easy to apply and I use this under my eyes as well. Stays on and stays true to color. Read more

I REALLY wanted to love this. I got 2 shades to try out and I found that mixed together, they were a good shade match. I gave this a fair shot and tried it out consistently, wearing it inside, and wearing it outside in 90 degree NYC humid weather. The coverage is not bad for a tinted sunscreen. It just slightly blurs imperfections and evens your skin tone. On that front, I wasn’t expecting too much, and I don’t want to wear heavy makeup in the hot NYC summer, so I was fine with the coverage. Not a huge fan of how it applies… it feels really greasy and runny when you apply it, and you have to wait for it to dry down before it becomes matte. Like all mineral sunscreens, I don’t recommend this if you have dry skin. It will cling to dry patches, but it is great if you have oily skin or sweat a lot. Now to the reason I gave it 2 stars… it just felt HORRIBLE on my skin. I can’t even describe the feeling - no other product has felt like that on my skin. I don’t have sensitive skin when it comes to makeup or beauty products. I’m only sensitive to metals in jewelry. And it almost felt like there were metals in this with how it made my skin feel. There was no visible reaction - I didn’t get red, or break out, or anything like that. But from the moment I put it on, til the moment I wiped it off, it felt itchy and drying and tight. The best way I can describe it, is it felt like I rubbed moist clay all over my skin then lay out to bake in the sun, and the clay was drying and tightening all over my face and starting to crack open. LOL. Horrible sensation! I tried to push through it because as I said, I wanted to love this. But eventually I finally had to give up and unfortunately, it was already passed the return window.

I am something of a sunscreen connoisseur and have tried many tinted sunscreens, from luxury brands to drugstore brands to k-beauty and c-beauty...the biggest issue is that most of them direct you to apply a pea-sized amount, or apply a small amount with a foundation brush or sponge. That's not enough, if it's your only sunscreen. The appropriate amount is 1/tsp, or two fingers worth, to your neck and face. When you apply most of these tinted sunscreens in the proper amount, they look streaky, don't ever really dry, or look like a mask. (The only other one I've found that lives up to this is Australian Gold, but it's too heavy for the summer for me). It's pretty much impossible to rely on any of them as your "one and done" product- it's gotta be a "real" sunscreen with then some sort of tint on top. When it's a work day, who wants to do that? I wash my face and put my sunscreen on, all while drinking my coffee before going out the door. I felt the same pessimism when I tried this one...I gamely squirted a line on my two fingers and started applying it to my face and neck. I was sure I was in for the same disappointment as with countless others but instead...IT BLENDS IN! IT DRIES DOWN! And my husband said I looked good when I literally just threw it on to walk the dog (in broad daylight). No marks. No streaks. Didn't feel like a mask. I tried applying a bit of blush and highlighter another time and it played well under those products. I don't think this is for you if you're really looking for a sunscreen with the coverage of a foundation. If you're a dedicated sunscreen user, though, like me, this will give you the protection you need while just evening out your skin and making it look a bit glowy. I think it could be build able, but I'm not looking for full coverage. This is perfect for what I want- something to prevent skin cancer and photo aging while making me look more awake and pulled together (what I was hoping for with the new Merit release...oh well). I will be buying this again when I run out and will keep using it forever. I wear this sunscreen in LP110 and it was an excellent match for my cool with pink toned skin (for reference, I wear Revlon Colorstay foundation in Buff so that's the shade of skin I'm working with).
