First of all
I just want to say, that I'm not playing.
I exist, it's 2 am right now and I'm writing this, a HUMAN, is writing this.
You're not about to read some bullshit, AI generated blog post.
Researches are made and I'm really trying to see what people are saying and what's in the products, the brands... this way you get a nice little report that'll genuinely help you make a decision.

So, why even buy a sunscreen?
Used regularly, sunscreen helps prevent sunburn, skin cancer, and premature aging. Wearing sunscreen is one of the best — and easiest — ways to protect your skin's appearance and health at any age.
Dermatologist Anna Chien, Anna Lien-Lun Chien, M.D.
The more often you wear it, the better in the long run.
Beauty of Joseon
About the brand
Known for its Dynasty Cream (absolutely incredible - moisturizing cream), Korean brand Beauty of Joseon uses luxurious Oriental herbs to create skin care for women in their 20s to 40s. The brand was inspired by a 19th century encyclopedia describing the skin care secrets of upper class Korean women. With products made entirely in Korea, Beauty of Joseon reveals the natural beauty of one’s skin by improving its overall condition and resolving fundamental problems such as roughness, dehydration and dull skin tone.
Beauty of Joseon "Relief Sun" features :
Broad-spectrum SPF 50+ PA++++
SPF stands for Sun Protection Factor. There are three types of ultra violet lights : UVA, UVB, and UVC (the latter don’t pass the earth’s atmosphere). UVA represent 95% of the UV rays that reaches the ground, and UVB the other 5%. UVB are the most harmful and responsible for sunburn and skin cancer (UVA too, but way less, they're more responsible for premature skin aging, as they can penetrate skin more deeply). Therefore, SPF represents a sunscreen’s ability to protect against UVB. A sunscreen that is broad spectrum will protect against both UVB and UVA rays. Which is the case here. SPF 50 is excellent for day-to-day use, as 30 would be sufficient. If you spend time outdoors, go for 60 or higher. Also, PA++++ means Extremely High UVA protection (premature aging kept AT BAY). Safe to say, this is a very good day-to-day sunscreen.
Organic
In order to be considered organic, a product must be made with at least 95% synthetic-free ingredients. - This sunscreen, contains additional ingredients of rice extract and grain-derived probiotics. (These, by the way, help keep your skin supple and hydrated.)
Lightweight
Lightweight cream, that absorbs quickly into the skin. No white cast will be left lingering on your skin after application, nor a greasy look, but rather a soft shine. I will show you this product in action in the next section.
Gentle
This sunscreen is formulated without the harsh ingredients usually found in chemical sunscreens, making it suitable for sensitive skin. It will not sting around your eyes. By the way, the difference between a chemical and mineral sunscreen is that mineral ones will form a barrier to help reflect UVA and UVB rays, when a chemical one, will absorb the rays, and convert them into non-damaging heat via a chemical reaction.
How it looks on skin
Alright, in this section I gathered some nice visuals of this sunscreen in pure action.
Note : A good rule of thumb when it comes to the amount of sunscreen you should apply is around half a teaspon for your face and neck. To measure that efficiently, just apply two stripes of product on your middle and index finger.
1. This is a good video, made by a russian girl showcasing it well : https://www.tiktok.com/@litinskamaria/video/7215607453960899846?lang=fr
2. Honest review from a Southeast Asian : https://www.tiktok.com/@bellamaddd/video/7191769965265980698?lang=fr
I agree with her, this sunscreen is best suited for people living in dry/cool weather and with dry/normal skin. But don't worry. I won't leave you people with oily skin hanging out there like that. They have a matte stick alternative - excellent reviews from people with oily skin. Go give that a look.

3. An honest review from a french girl with dark skin. She's saying that if you have darker skin than her, you will be left with a cast on your face. Not really white but rather a greyish hue on your face. Nonetheless, she still recommends it but to the girls with darker skin, know that there might be better alternatives : https://www.tiktok.com/@skinwithluh/video/7227182024434519323?lang=fr
4. And another one of an application followed with visuals of the soft shine this sunscreen leaves you with : https://www.tiktok.com/@les.talk.skin/video/7059785119686642990?lang=fr
In conclusion
I think we can safely say that this Relief Sun is an affordable, luxury, skincare product. I love the soft shine, being a girl who's not a fan of dewy or glass skin, this looks beautiful to me... Clean product, gentle, performant, light. And the packaging...
So,
Is it a go?
Until then, take care ladies.
