Korean sunscreen FAQs
What do SPF 50+ and PA++++ mean?
SPF primarily measures protection against UVB, while PA indicates UVA protection. PA++++ is the highest grade on the PA scale. These ratings do not tell you how long you can stay outside or replace reapplication.
Which Korean sunscreens have no white cast?
Purity Sun Essence and Water Glow Derma Sun Cream are described as applying without a visible white cast. Glow Screen Sun Gel is untinted and spreads sheerly. Water Glow Tone-Up Sun Cream adds a visible pink tint. Finish can vary with skin tone and the amount applied.
How do I choose sunscreen for sensitive skin?
Check the full ingredient list and avoid ingredients you know irritate your skin. If fragrance triggers a reaction, choose a fragrance-free formula. Mineral filters can be an option for skin that stings with sunscreen, but the whole formula matters. Patch test a new product before wider use.
Does sunscreen go before or after moisturizer?
Apply sunscreen after moisturizer as the final morning skincare step, then let it settle before makeup. If you do not use a separate moisturizer, sunscreen still goes after the rest of your skincare. Follow your product's directions for the amount to apply.

How often should I reapply sunscreen?
Reapply at least every two hours while outdoors, and after swimming, sweating, or towel drying. Follow the product's label, including any water-resistance time. SPF 50+ does not remove the need to reapply.
