This is a portion of the latest response directly from Purito: The manufacturer of the product had a long history of developing quality sunscreen products and high technology, thus the marked SPF and PA index was not questioned by the brand. Moreover, the SPF 50, PA++++ of the PURITO Centella Green Level Unscented Sun was officially approved by the KFDA before the product was launched on the market. However, recently, we have received a significant amount of inquiries on clarification of the SPF and PA index of the product, that’s when we decided to verify once again the manufacturer's registration with the KFDA and the authenticity of the registered documents, we have assured that there was no problem. The product has been legally recognized by all aforementioned parties, however, due to the recent debates, we decided to conduct our own research on the efficacy of the sunscreen. In order to obtain precise results currently PURITO has requested the performance of both in-vivo and in-vitro tests for all three PURITO sunscreen products, other than the initial test conducted by the testing lab and the manufacturer. Although the results have not yet been released, we have acknowledged the seriousness of this issue. We have been closely monitoring the test results that were recently published online. As a result of which, we are pausing the sales of PURITO Centella Green Level Unscented Sun, PURITO Centella Green Level Safe Sun, and PURITO Comfy Water Sun Block until the details are fact-checked and confirmed by the parties aside from the initial manufacturer and testing lab.

I love this cream even just as an everyday moisturiser, but at the same time had I known it wasn't really shielding my skin from sun damage, I might have included another sunscreen on top of it for UV protection. I hope they reformulate it with SPF50 because it truly is a wonderful product. It's not a waste of money don't worry. Small tip, I suggest you buy sunscreen right before when you know you'll use it.

Using Comfy-water physical one and honestly feeling really discouraged and annoyed to use spf at all! (still going to do it,, but it sucks, not knowing where we are know)

Assuming the results stay the same and its a SPF 19, I guess I'll just use it as moisturiser indoors, it is still a great moisturiser.

I am so happy you touched on this. This is real with so many sunscreens and skin care products. Not listing full ingredients on their labels and sunscreens essentially not being what they should be, is very REAL in The beauty industry. Add in the fact products are being made in different countries and ok’d by different FDAs. I simply do not believe any of the dirty lists or products. Do your due diligence and find a skin care guru to guide you. 🙌🏻🍑Lisa Peaches Skin Care

I love hearing your talk. Very articulate, smart, scientific, always fair to both sides. You informed us and let us decide for ourselves. We need more people like you. Just beautiful. 👏👏👏

Probably it's still good for the day at the office in winter when there is not so much exposure,, so will you do another updated video about which alternatives work well? The only one I have at the moment which is affordable is a mineral sunscreen,, but I feel that chemical filters are more long lasting if they are good ones

sometimes I think companies do know, they just know they can make money and don't care until they get caught. We live in a consumerist world and they all just want you to buy.

Was about to order this (and a few other K-beauty products) as a Christmas present to myself! So glad I saw this! Thank you Cassandra!

This is not an isolated incident as you describe. Australia has some of the strictest regulations on sunscreen. An independent organisation called ‘Choice’ tested 7 popular sunscreens in Australia and only 2 out of the 7 had the correct SPF as advertised.

I love how you always speak in different languages! Even if it´s not perfect, you try to respect the pronunciation as much as possible. This is so refreshing as opposed to many people who simply say: "I murdered that" or "No idea how to say it". I am a fan of languages and I love learning different words or simply saying things as closely as possible to their original language. I have noticed this on many of your videos and I love it! Cultural knowledge/curiosity is power and you glow in it, girl!

the thing i'm mad about is i had been using retinoids (at night) and using this in the day wondering why i would get red around my eyes like it was being sun damaged. I thought i was using retinoids improperly come to find I was just being damaged because they were lying :/ like serious how much damage have i been doing to my skin! i've been using this for months.

Ah, this will explain why my face turned red under the sun wearing this sunscreen this summer...same thing with the klairs one...

Purito have made a statement and will be restesting all of their sunscreens. I hope they sort this mess out, I have enjoyed their Comfy water mineral spf

Thank you for talking about this. Always dependable, Cassandra! And yes, consumers are powerful in controlling the market, that I believe! I'm not into speculating because at my age I know anything is possible, so I'll wait to see the findings.

I used this sunscreen for a year, even on days with 35 degree weather and I didn't get burned. But, having extremely fair skin, using exfoliants and having a history of skin cancer in my family I am very concerned about what problems this year of poor skin protection potentially has caused...

Is there anything out there about how much of a percentage we should look for when researching our sunscreens? Like I know that this one has a 3% and a 2% but how do I know whether that is good enough or not? And what should I look for in the future? I hate mineral sunscreens and don't have a large budget for the more expensive ones.

Dear Cassandra, I'm truly grateful for you brought up this topic over. I'm an Australian and every year, in Australia: 1.Skin cancers account for around 80% of all newly diagnosed cancers. 2.The majority of skin cancers are caused by exposure to the sun. 3.The incidence of skin cancer is one of the highest in the world, two to three times the rates in Canada, the US and the UK. So, after watching so many KZread videos by so many popular KZreadrs, I went on and bought from YES STYLE what you exactly holding in your hand just to protect my self from unforgiving Australian sun. Luckily, Australian cosmetic industry is well regulated. Cosmetics in Australia are classified as industrial chemicals. “National Industrial Chemicals Notification and Assessment Scheme (NICNAS)” is responsible for managing industrial chemicals (cosmetics) and Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) regulates the product safety and cosmetic labeling standards. Therapeutic goods are managed by Therapeutic Goods Administration. TGA is responsible for formulating and implementing the regulations concerning registration of sponsors, advertising, labeling and manufacturing of therapeutic goods. Now here comes the best part; Amorepacific is the very first South Korean cosmetic company to enter the Australian beauty market in 2018 with their brand 'Laneige’ then "innisfree" and they have few flagship stores around the country. However,Amorepasific are not allowed to sell any of their sunscreens in Australia! The reason, as per one of the Amorepacific Australia Pvt Ltd senior staff member told me was South Korean SPF ratings are much lower than the Australian SPF ratings. It's exactly what you saying on your video, when South Korean cosmetic companies claim & labeled South Korean Sunscreens in South Korea SPF50++++ then when they got tested here in Australia by NICNAS, ACCC & TGA , they were actually below SPF20+!!! Unfortunately, people all over the world are allowed to buy them on popular online platforms under false impressions that these sunscreens will protect them.

The biggest thing for me is we need to push for approval of these ingredients. That's going to result in more use and testing of products containing them.

Has the Biore aqua uv essence been tested yet? That one made me tan and I gave it up. Never looking back. I bet it's also like spf 19 or less...

Wore this for 2 weeks this summer and I'm still trying to get rid of explosion of hyperpigmentation

I'm from the Caribbean and have been using this Brand for a month now. I am very concern because I had some issues with it but I though it was something I did. :( Hope we get some more info soon. Thanks for posting.

That video made me subscribe :) far from the hysteria, the brand is indeed innocent until proven guilty bit as "mad about skin " said "you cannot outsourced your responsibility"
