Apply as the last step of your morning skincare routine, before makeup if worn. Spread evenly over the face and any exposed skin. Reapply throughout the day as needed, particularly after sweating or prolonged sun exposure.
Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun: Rice and Probiotics is a Korean SPF 50 sunscreen that combines sun protection with a skin-calming formulation. Rice extract - a long-standing ingredient in Korean skincare - is used here for its ability to brighten and soothe the skin's surface, while probiotics are included to help support the skin's natural barrier. The result is a daily sunscreen that does more than block UV rays; it works with the skin rather than against it.
This formulation suits a wide range of skin types, including sensitive or reactive complexions that often find mineral or chemical sunscreens irritating. The texture is notably lightweight, which makes it a practical final step in both morning routines and layered skincare regimens without leaving a heavy residue or pronounced white cast - a common concern with SPF products.
Beauty of Joseon has built a reputation in the K-beauty space for accessible, ingredient-led formulations that prioritise skin health over novelty. Their sunscreens in particular have attracted consistent attention from both skincare communities and dermatologists for their cosmetic elegance without sacrificing broad-spectrum protection. For anyone who has historically skipped daily SPF due to texture or finish, this is a considered alternative worth trialling.

Sign inThe formulation includes probiotics and rice extract, both of which are generally well-tolerated by sensitive skin types. That said, individual responses vary — patch-testing on a small area first is always sensible if your skin is prone to reactions.
Beauty of Joseon's rice sunscreen is widely noted for a lighter finish compared to many SPF products, though experience can vary depending on skin tone and the amount applied. It is designed to minimise the white cast associated with many sun creams.
Yes. Apply it as the final step of your skincare routine and allow it to settle for a minute or two before applying makeup. Its lightweight texture makes it a practical base.
Beyond UV protection, this formulation incorporates rice extract and probiotics — ingredients associated with skin-soothing and barrier-support properties. It is closer to a hybrid skincare-SPF product than a functional-only sun cream.
As a general guide, a full teaspoon (around 2.5ml) spread evenly across the face and neck is the standard recommendation for achieving the labelled SPF. Using too little is one of the most common reasons sunscreen under-performs in practice.
Overall

I've tried so many SPFs over the years and this is the first one I look forward to putting on. No white cast, no greasy feeling, and my skin feels calm all day. Layers beautifully under makeup too. Will be repurchasing.

Been seeing this everywhere in skincare communities and finally caved. The texture is so light — almost like water — and it sinks in quickly without that horrible tacky finish. My rosacea-prone skin hasn't reacted at all, which is a win.

The sunscreen itself is genuinely one of the nicest I've used — no white cast, no irritation, and it sits well under foundation. My only gripe is that the tube is quite small for the price. I got through it in about five weeks using it daily, which means it works out a bit expensive as an everyday SPF. Would still buy again but wish they did a larger size.

Swapped over from a high-street mineral SPF that was leaving me looking grey. This one is a completely different experience — just disappears into the skin. Genuinely pleased with it.

A friend recommended this and I was sceptical — I've always found SPF either too heavy or too shiny. This is neither. It's become the last step in my morning routine and I barely notice I'm wearing it. Skin looks clearer too over the past few weeks, though that might just be the consistent SPF use finally catching up.

I have very reactive skin and most sunscreens either sting or cause breakouts. This does neither. I've been using it daily for about two months now and my skin barrier genuinely feels more settled. Love that it doesn't pill under makeup either.
