Beauty of Joseon Daily Tinted Fluid Sunscreen 12 Shades for Face Moisturizing Broad Spectrum SPF 40 Korean Skincare 50ml, 1.69 fl.oz #LP100

Great for cool toned skin and the makeup-adverse
If you’re cool-toned like me and look horribly orange when using most any skin tint, bb cream, etc. you should definitely try this! Every other product I’ve tried pulls way too warm and yellowy/orangey on me. Also great if you need some tint in your SPF but don’t want to look like (or feel like) you’re wearing any makeup.Color:I’ve had trouble finding cool-toned tints from Western brands; it seems the “default” light or neutral colors for most Western brands is too warm for me, so I always looked “off” and didn’t know why. Products that fall into this category for me include the Australian Botanicals tinted spf (oxidized VERY orange on me); maybelline fresh bb cream (their light-medium was closer to my skin tone, but still too warm and dark); bare minerals loose powder spf 15 foundation in fairly light (too warm and dark, this one was my fault, as I didn’t know I had cool skin when I purchased it). I was also, however, worried about lightness in K-beauty spf products, as I’ve used bb creams like Missha (pulled grey on me, very strange) and others which basically leave a noticeable white cast and not much else in terms of color. Thus, I was worried this lightest shade in this product would be TOO light for me, but it isn’t. It’s quite subtly pigmented with a great formula that blends out quickly and dries into a soft, powdery, silicone-based skin primer-type feel. I think this helps with shade matching, ie you don’t have to worry too much about a perfect match here because it’s light enough coverage to become your-skin-but-better (rather than an obvious “I’m wearing makeup” type product) so long as you pick one that matches your skin color to the best of your ability.Coverage / formula:Light coverage! I love this, as I don’t wear makeup. I only switched to this tint because I’d wear heavy duty, non-tinted SPF and still end up with a bright red face for days afterward. My skin is very reactive to sunlight even if I’m getting sufficient UV protection. I thought I was getting sunburned, but I wasn’t. I actually just needed a tinted spf formula so that its color would physically block light. (If you experience this, please look up vascular reactivity! I have a connective tissue disorder which results in this). Now, I did NOT want any sort of tint to my spf since I don’t wear makeup, and previous tinted SPFs and BB creams I’ve used (IT cosmetics, physician’s formula CC cream, for instance) leave such a thick, obvious finish that I thought I’d look crazy if I only wore a tinted SPF without any other makeup (mascara, for example). Thankfully, this formula is so light and subtle in its coverage that I feel absolutely no need to wear any other makeup with it, as it simply does not look like I’m wearing a cakey foundation. If you’re looking for something thicker with more coverage, this is not the product. This is for people who hate makeup and want the bare minimum tint in a product that they need to get the skincare benefits (for me, it’s to prevent my hyperreactive face skin from getting bright red from sunlight). I would liken this to a lighter, cooler-toned, more pleasant to work with, and far less expensive version of the La Roche Posay anthelios tinted mineral sunscreen. It’s that same kind of liquid-y formula, maybe a touch more viscous.TL;DRIf you hate makeup, hate the feel of applying SPF in general, don’t want to look like you’re wearing any color at all, and want something liquidy and light that blends seamlessly into your skin color, this is for you!

Very sheer coverage
I like this product but wish I’d researched a little more and/or read more thorough reviews before I purchased. I’m in my late 40s, have good skin but starting to have slight signs of aging like fine lines and minor discoloration, and my skin is dry. I prefer hydrating light coverage base products with a dewy finish.I’ve tried several tinted sunscreens and tinted skin tints with sunscreen, looking for one product that can wear alone/in place of traditional foundation. This one isn’t going to be that product for me, as it is just TOO sheer. It offers almost zero coverage at all, which is fine but not exactly my preference and I already have several tinted spf products that offer sheer coverage in my collection.I will use it – it feels nice, looks nice under other coverage products, and is good for a daily sunscreen. I just wanted this to have a little more coverage so I wouldn’t need another coverage product on a daily basis.I think this product is best for anyone looking for a hydrating sunscreen who isn’t concerned about actual coverage offered.Pros: hydrating, non-irritating, wears well under makeup, high spf coverage, non-drying.Cons: sheer coverage, doesn’t “set” on its own, probably not suited for oily skin types.
