As a Korean who watches both American and Korean beauty youtube channels, I can say with confidence that Ive never heard any Korean makeup/skincare influencer even mention the brand Beauty of Joseon. I actually did a quick search on Naver just now and they’re having a sale celebrating their recent launch on olive young lol maybe it will start to become popular among Koreans from now on

My first Korean sunscreen was the Beauty of Joseon (loved it), but I have to agree with you, I love the SKIN1004 even more! The pump is a bit annoying because I can’t get a full fingertip length from one pump. I can’t wait to try the others you have recommended 💞✨

I used to dislike the pump until I figured out how much pressure to apply in order to get the finger length. I also tap downward on the cap (a handful of times) to ensure that any air bubbles gets out of the bottle before using the pump. I noticed that the pump design actually helps the user to use the entire product without having to cut it open.

I got compliments from stranger when I was wearing BOJ sunscreen no foundation. They said my skin looks healthy & I dont have baby smooth skin I have many pitted acne scar that compliments gave me a boost of confidence. I love BOJ works well on my dry skin.

The Skin 1004 is my fav! Thank you for the video. I also prefer that it was in a squeeze tube.

Interestingly, I have oily skin but I prefer the Beauty of Joseon much more than the Centella one. I loooove the BoJ, but the Centella was very "meh" for me, not sure why, hehe. I guess I have an emotional attachment with the BoJ as this was the first sunscreen that blowed my mind, hehe. But also, I prefer the squeeze tube, and it is more moisturizing. Although I have oily skin, I use tretinoin, and I find the BoJ does more for my skin.

Enjoyed learning from your suncreen experience. Will try the skin 1004

100% agree regarding these sunscreens! BOJ and Round lab do appear quite similar, although the feel on the skin is decently different. I personally love the lighter, more deeply hydrating feel of the Round lab spf, as opposed to the more almost whipped, creamy texture of BOJ. Both are very similar but I feel BOJ feels slightly heavier. Skin1004 is also super amazing; completely agree about the pump system. A tipped applicator is just so much better as you can easily control the amount you want. I feel with skin1004 pump, I just get whatever random amount I try to meticulously pump out 😂 The isntree spf is also way too dewy for me and the spf smell always puts me off. Subbed!!

Beauty of Joseon was not my first Kay beauty sunscreen, but it is by far my favorite. I have aging normal to dry but sometimes acne prone skin and it just plays so well with everything for me. I do like multitasking though and so I don’t always use this. I sometimes mix it as well, I know I know people hate that but I do it anyway, with a Mychelle tinted sunscreen.

@taramichelleyoung6492

10 ай бұрын

I’m glad you found a way to enjoy applying these sunscreens! I just wanted to say that concerns about directly mixing sunscreens stems from the fact that formulations are very specific to ensure that their active ingredients will properly protect the skin; by mixing two sunscreens with each other (assuming you’re mixing before applying to the face), you can disturb the formulation such that you actually lower the given SPF. If it still performs well, it might be a better idea to layer the two, by applying the Beauty of Joseon sunscreen first, letting that layer dry, and then going on top with a layer of the tinted sunscreen.

The Skin1004 is my first ever Korean sunscreen and it is my holy grail!

Hi Alice such an amazing video 😊❤xx

I just found your channel and now I’m binge watching your videos lol. I really want to try Round Lab and Skin1004 sunscreen. Which one do you think would be better for someone with combo, dehydrated and sensitive skin?

so true, sometimes i feel like i need to try everything, and they could all potentially come from the same labs.

Do you ever test any tinted k-beauty sunscreens? My dermatologist said to fight hyperpigmentation, tinted is the best defense. I do use a tinted bb cream on top, and I have seen one or two on Stylevana. I have a bunch of sunscreens in my arsenal for now…I got the SV Box! Appreciate your thoughts here. Thanks!

Love the hat! Being new to K beauty skincare, I was trigger happy and ordered a bunch of sunscreens. Each sunscreen has a slightly different texture and consistency and the pumps dont help. The 2 finger method did not seem reliable anymore. I now have a dedicated 1/4tsp for measuring sunscreen. Heard good thing about numbuzin no1 sunscreen. Since starting K beauty I find that I don't have dry skin but had dehydrated skin. With that resolved BOJ is too dewy for now. The haru haru sunscreen feels less dewy.

I’m finally on trend!!!!!! 🎉😂 lol I have 3 out of 5 of these! I definitely want to try the round lab one next! I have used some of their other products and absolutely fallen in love! Having dry sensitive skin as well I feel very similarly about all of these!

I have tried all of the sunscreens mentioned except for the Torriden one (I avoid mineral sunscreens due to white cast). I have to say that the Round Lab is my number #1. However, I agree that this Round Lab sunscreen is expensive AF, so I tend to buy it when it's on sale. If I can't get it, I typically gravitate towards the Instree sunscreen or Skin 1004 (the latter being the cheapest option in Stylevana).

I find many Korean sunscreens to be the same, despite the difference in price especially the Round Lab one, which is more expensive for a KBeauty sunscreen. I do prefer Japanese ones in particular Anessa, Biore and Allie due to how strong, water resistant and long lasting they are, but Korean ones I use for cloudy days and winter, because they are nice being alcohol free.

Hi, Alice! Lovely to see you as always. I agree with you about BoJ. For my dehydrated-yet-runs-sweaty face, it's kind of the worst of both worlds: it goes on too thick for my liking AND yet somehow also "shrivels up" during the day and leaves my face feeling parched by mid-afternoon. That Isntree formula (why is it still using those old filters?) is WAY too greasy, leaving me looking like an oil slick and sliding around until it ends up assaulting my eyeballs. Of that bunch, I'd say the Round Lab is the best, but it's twice as much as what I expect to pay while only being marginally better. I've said it before and I'll say it again because Goodal deserves the press they aren't getting: their Heartleaf Calming Moisture Sun Cream is the end of the line for me (the organic one, not the "other" one). Numbuzin has a #1 sunscreen now that looks promising, but there's really no need to try it with Goodal around.

I totally agree with you about Beauty of Joseon sunscreen. I didn’t get the hype, and I didn’t repurchase because it was fine, but it wasn’t anything special to me. I also prefer the Skin1004 over the BOJ. I like the pump because I know it takes 6-7 pumps for me to get the spf I need vs. measuring it out. There are so many others I like better than BOJ. Isntree Hyaluronic Watery Sun Gel is the best under matte foundations to bring the glow back if you find a foundation too matte. On its own, I don’t wear it because it’s too glowy (but not greasy). It literally gives you glass skin. But I LOVE it for the purpose of pairing under makeup. Currently, Numbuzin No.1 Clear Filter Sun Essence is my favorite though. 🏆

I was adjacent to RDNs on the research path, and I can say that of my peers: one did quit, one worked for a while and then started her own yoga studio (but was glad she got the degree), and one is still happily employed. So I guess I’d ultimately recommend talking to those who are doing the kind of work you’re interested in, especially in your area.

I am also skeptical to get Skin1004 due to the pump, I do not enjoy the pump on the BOJ eye cream so I have been wondering how to get the product out on fingers for sunscreens. What is your thought on the new Haruharu sunscreen compare to these popular ones?

Good question! I love how fast it applies and with absolutely no white cast (unlike the Tinosorb M containing sunscreens), but I do feel it’s more suited to those who always reach for a lightweight or no moisturizer. I’ve had a few oopsies where I have applied it over my heavier moisturizer, and that always makes it feel so sticky! It does not play well with creams

Mineral sunscreens are best applied with layers, not the amount shown in your demo here 😅 Layering takes slightly more time but torriden's mild sun cream is so good, it's the only one I can tolerate during my eczema flares AND reapply whenever necessary.

i am not sure how that affects the sunscreens filmforming abilities. But regardless of that: remember to use a bit more sunscreen than recommended if you apply in thinner layers (your hands/fingers do end up absorbing some product and even more so when you aply several thinner layers).

Sheesh I own none of these? I finally received my Purito Soft Touch, first impressions are that it won’t replace Kinship for my ocean holidays that stuff is sooo comforting almost slugging!?

Hi Alice. What’s a “booster” in the mineral sunscreen? I generally only use mineral for my face despite being of a medium deep complexion.

Ingredients that increase the efficacy of the sunscreen itself! Sometimes, it refers to antioxidants (although I kind of disagree with this perspective, though I get the theory: it’s not adding sun protection, but it may help reduce the effects of free radicals). More commonly, it’s referring to unlabeled filters. Butyloctyl salicylate is an example here, as it acts very similarly to octisalate, but isn’t considered to be a sunscreen filter. Thus adding it to a zinc sunscreen gives a “boost” to the final SPF/PA values. Hope that helps!

@@AliceintheRabbitHole Thank you. That’s pretty sneaky.

I have three packs of beauty of joseon. It is indeed a wonderful spf. I cleanse, put my serum and this. No need a moisturizer with this in summer time. But I have to say that I once used it three days in a row and started to get sensitive to it. I keep using it but I make sure to alternate with another one (colorscience) this way I avoid the uncomfortable tingling sensation and redness. BOJ still have chemical filters so that is probably why I can't use it all the time because I have used several chemical sunscreens in the past and they all burnt and tingled my skin especially my cheek bones area. I have tried the Madagascar one and I hated it. Too dewy and silicony feeling so to get this one empty I use it on my hands and arms. That's my personnal experience obviously 😊

Oh wow. Good problem solving! I think I relate to that sensation. The pyunkang yul calming sunscreen gave me a bit of a tingling feeling. Didn’t hit the point of redness, largely because I decided not to give it another go (probably could have made it an “arm sunscreen” though lol. Best solution for the necessity of a shorter sleeved top in these summer months!)

Even if they are not considered to be essential oils in the industry they still have the potential to be irritated for some people.

Round lab gave me painful under the skin pimples, you think boj would do similar?

I feel the exact same way regarding the boj and skin1004 sunscreens. I have used up ~5 tubes and boj and I'm not sure I'd repurchase anymore. Something else about boj that I don't love is that when I reapply, the white cast shows up pretty bad. And because it's not very light weight, it feels very heavy when reapplying. I'm currently enjoying the abib heartleaf sun essence. It's very running and milky, def not for everyone. But it's so lightweight with just the right amount of hydration

You know how they say the best sunscreen is the one you'll use? Although I feel some sunscreens are better than others, and I avoid glow-up sunscreens, I feel the best Korean sunscreen is the one you just bought bought... or have.... or the closest, the one you left in your car (w/o massive heat) or pocket,, the one with the newest gimmick, the one that you found for 80% off, the one with the pretty bottle, whatever,

I think another sister to those three is haru haru wonder chemical sunscreen. Feels very similar to birch juice sunscreen but a bit more hydrating for me. It's very gentle so I use it around my eyes where the skin is irritated from rubbing oil cleanser to remove mascara. I'm still looking for a sunscreen that doesn't make me look as you say reflective. The only one so far is Biore aqua rich essence but that has a white cast and with reapplication I start to look like a statue 😢

To be honest, if I compare BoJ products with other popular products in Korea, BoJ is not that exiting. There are similar or better ones in my opinion. And I heard they were fined because they used word Ginseng in their products, while they were using cultivated Ginseng and it's called Insam or something like that

I got a couple of “fake” BOJ on amazon,so I order directly from BOJ know ,but the whole Amazon thing made me feel the testing Protocols are Sus

Skin1004's Hyalu Cica sunscreen is the only one I'll use. I hate how sunscreens feel as a rule and I almost never go out in the sun as it is and even when I DO go out I am covered head to toe (sun visor, huge shades, protective clothing) so that I finally found a sunscreen I don't quite HATE is a miracle. Thanks for the reviews! Note: I've never been the type to use sunscreen in lieu of moisturizer. I always use it on top of all my other skincare so the lighter application and the more dewy it leaves my skin, the happier I am! My skin type is drier, mature skin so I am a huge fan of layering multiple hydrating products in addition to any actives I'm using.
