AI summary of 5 reviews · as of Jun 2026
A lightweight, hydrating chemical sunscreen with credible broad-spectrum protection that most reviewers strongly recommend, tempered by a notable white cast on deeper skin tones and the need for regular reapplication.
What they praise
- Lightweight, non-greasy texture that absorbs quickly and feels comfortable on skin
- Genuinely hydrating formula with no added fragrance or alcohol
- SPF claim tested by two independent labs in two countries, giving reviewers confidence in the stated protection
- Works well under makeup and sits comfortably on normal-to-dry skin without pilling
- Broad-spectrum filters provide strong UVA and UVB coverage
What they knock
- Causes a visible white or grey cast on medium-to-deep skin tones due to the particulate Tinosorb M filter
- UV camera testing shows meaningful wear-off by the four-hour mark, with significant degradation by six hours, making reapplication essential
- Applying foundation over it with a damp sponge further reduces visible sunscreen coverage
- The dewy, hydrating finish is too much for very oily skin types

Frequently asked
What buyers want to know.
Does Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun: Rice + Probiotics SPF 50+ PA++++ actually work?
Yes. Reviewers had the SPF claim tested by two independent labs in two countries, and the results gave them confidence in the stated broad-spectrum protection. UV camera testing shows the sunscreen provides strong UVA and UVB coverage, though it does wear off meaningfully by four hours and needs reapplication.
Is beauty of joseon relief sun rice probiotics SPF50 good?
Most reviewers strongly recommend it as a lightweight, hydrating chemical sunscreen with confirmed broad-spectrum protection. The main drawbacks are a visible white or grey cast on medium-to-deep skin tones and the need to reapply every four hours.
Who is this sunscreen best for?
People with dry, normal, or combination skin who want a hydrating, fragrance-free daily sunscreen with confirmed protection and a finish that layers well under makeup. It is not a good fit for those with deep or dark skin tones who want a cast-free finish, or people with very oily skin who prefer a matte result.
Does it leave a white cast?
Yes. Reviewers note a visible white or grey cast on medium-to-deep skin tones due to the particulate Tinosorb M filter. The cast becomes more noticeable when you apply foundation over it with a damp sponge.
How often do you need to reapply it?
UV camera testing shows meaningful wear-off by the four-hour mark and significant degradation by six hours, making reapplication essential for ongoing protection.
Is it too heavy or greasy for under makeup?
No. Reviewers note the lightweight, non-greasy texture absorbs quickly and works well under makeup without pilling on normal-to-dry skin. The dewy, hydrating finish is the main issue for very oily skin types.
