Frequently asked

Is Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun FDA approved?

The UV filters used in Korean sunscreens like this one are not on the FDA's approved list for sunscreens sold in the US. Buying it from an overseas retailer means you are buying a cosmetic, not a US-regulated sunscreen.

Does Relief Sun leave a white cast?

It sets to a soft, dewy finish and generally does not leave a cast on most skin tones. Give it a minute to set before makeup.

How much sunscreen do I need for my face?

About a quarter teaspoon for the face, plus extra for the neck and ears, is the usual guidance for getting the labeled level of protection. Reapply every couple of hours in strong sun.

Will this sunscreen break me out?

The texture is lightweight and hydrating, which many oily-skinned users tolerate well, but sunscreen tolerance is individual. Patch test for several days if you are acne-prone.
