I love that you're willing to call out bullshit in a sponsored video. You're the best, Michelle.
I only have one thing to say Michelle..
Do not ever stop making these videos!!
Much love
❤
I am JUST starting to wear sunscreen regularly on places other than my face because I am entering my mid 30s and starting to notice lines and textural changes around my neck and hands!!! Start early is all I can say. Appreciating your channel so much and love seeing another English-speaking Asian person delivering research/evidence based information on skincare. Our skin types are similar (though I live in Canada!). Thank you for all you do.
Sunscreen queen 👸
Thank you!
One of my major reservation after spfpocalypse is the inconsistent SPF testing in Korea, thanks for pointing out how to avoid this problem.
Will definitely try your recommendations!
I'm so glad you approve of the beauty of joseon sunscreen! I just got it after reading through a _ton_ of reviews on different sites, and I am so in love with it. I keep buying different sunscreens because the one I liked last disappears and becomes unavailable D: so I keep having to hit-or-miss try new ones! I really hope this one stays in the market long enough for me to get my hands on more! I really value your informed opinion on these things!
Where did you buy it?
@@rebekahwebster3104 I got it off a dutch website, after looking around for ages
I’ve tried Beauty of Joseon thanks to your insta post and I must say this is my go to now. I have already started my second bottle and can’t love it more. Thank you 💙💛
The Beauty of Joseon one is a new favorite of mine too, it is beautiful in texture.
Great video Michelle! l'm so glad you're reviewing these! I love the BOJ sunscreen! ❤️
I LOVE SUNSCREEN REVIEWS I AM SO OBSESSED WITH SUNSCREEN AH
For those here saying they’re sensitive to rice, you might be into the Round Lab birch juice sunscreen. I have both, they feel very similar. Both lightweight and silky. Same manufacturer, Kolmar.
Also throwing in for the Dr.G green mild up sun+, loooove this one, thanks to Odile!
Thank you Michelle!!
My skin start getting small pimples after wearing boj. Should i continue or not?
Holy shit, I thought I was the only one crazy to think that I have a sensitivity to rice, even though I consume it everyday!!
I broke out too after using boj so what should I use the round lab isn’t available where I live
I have been using Innisfree for about 3 years and I love their products.
I’ve gravitated with so many brands but this is my brand of choice.
I love every sunscreen video of yours. Glad to see BOJ and Mary&May sunscreens here.
So glad to hear about new SPF products. After the debacle of late 2020, I’ve also been skittish about SPF products. I’ve actually gone back to Purito, but these also sound great!
A few of these are already in the mail what perfect timing!
Thank you for this. I recently got the BoJ sunscreen. I’m very happy with the Ginseng Essence Water and the Calming serum. With your endorsement, I feel excited to try it.
Stellar reviews as always, Michelle. Also, in love with u crocheted top!!!!! Gonna try my hand at making it
Thanks so much for your sunscreen reviews! I have a similar skin type to you, so they help immensely. And I do get excited like in the beginning clip for these types of videos 😂
This is one of the BEST sunscreen videos ever!!!! Thank you Lab. 🤗😍😘❤️🙏
Can you please do a video about “extracts” and “juices” and how they are or are not regulated? Eg can a gallon of water with a single green tea leaf be called green tea extract or green tea water?
That would be interesting to see!
I tried the coolest Japanese sunscreen ever recently. It's the Biore Aqua Protect Lotion - it comes out as a water with encapsulated filters, that melt into a milk texture on your skin and then fully sets down (budge-proof) within a couple of minutes. The finish is natural (aka one of the least shiny sunscreens I've tried) and not-sticky. Definitely no white cast and perfect for sunscreen haters. Plus it's affordable too (and the packaging is gorgeous).
love their old one, just ordered this new version of their's. Looking forward to it!
Does it have a fragrance?
@@analissalowe8469 It does (unfortunately) - it's a light floral scent. I am typically very sensitive to fragrance (I don't use any other fragranced products ever) and this fortunately didn't irritate my skin or break me out, as fragrance often does.
Is it verified spf ?

Sooooo appreciate your attention to detail and diligence
Thank you for the links! I have the hardest time finding the products mentioned without going down a two hour web search rabbit hole. I tend to get lost in all the "shiny" products.
Love how detailed and thorough you are in your reviews! Have you tried Beplain's sunscreens? They feel so good on your skin!
As someone who has an icky b’day with a 5 and a 0 this year, I can say that my conversion to J&K sunscreens in the early 2000’s has created a zealot. It’s also paid off. When sunscreen is a pleasure to use, it easily fits into your daily routine.
Btw, BOJ sunscreen is fantastic and plays nicely with makeup.
You write so well for a 05 year old ❤
Thank youuu, very excited about this video! Is it possible to have a video together with Odile? I know she explained and recommended some really nice waterproof korean sunscreens. And she discussed a bit in her stories how "clean" in South Korea means something different from what we know. It has to do with a national loss.
It's nice to see that water resistant one from Innisfree. That's my biggest complaint about Koreans sunscreens, it's hard to find water resistant ones. My go to water resistant sunscreen is the Skin Aqua UV Gold Gel, Kose Suncut UV Essence, and SunBum SPF 70.
Do you know how the Skin Aqua Gold is tested for water resistance? I love love this sunscreen but wasn't aware until today that Japan doesn't have a standard for water resistance testing :(
@@sakurakhadag the translation I’ve seen it’s labeled as “super water resistant” I wear it at the beach, reapply every 2 hours, and have yet to get burnt (or tan). I would say it holds up to those claims.
Skin Aqua sunscreens are my favorite
I'm so thankful you're Australian and do so many videos on sunscreen. I'm not sure if you still live here - even if you don't, you know how bad the UV is here and we need sunscreen that does the MOST 😭
We have similar skin, prone to dehydration and clogged pores. My favourite sunscreen is also the beauty of joseon ❤ it was simply a game changer in my skin care routine
So glad you have pointed out on the coral safe and friendly part on innisfree. I was pretty happy thinking that i found a lightweight waterproof coral friendly sunscreen, until i found the ingredients list with the nano stuff. I am also 1 of the few getting eye sting with innisfree...
Thank you for this video, it’s so informative and helpful! Would you be able to make a review on best re-application spf products? There’s so many options these days… stick, powder, spray.. it’s hard to pick lol!
My God girl you read my mind, this was much needed 👏🏼😉
I recently discovered the Joseon and love it! I have sensitive, dry, rosacea skin.
I have the same type of skin type and I’ve been wanting to try the BOJ sunscreen but I’m concerned about irritation! I’m so tired of all the bottles of SPF I’ve gone through that has caused irritation and or made me look like a 👻 not to mention poor 💵🤣🤣
No doctor, no esthetician, simply no one except you when it comes to Sunscreen. You are The Queen of Sunscreens for sure!
Trying out several of these. Thanks for the reviews as always.
Beauty of josen sunscreen is the only sunscreen I've seen to give such a beautiful glow, its amazing
Thank you for great informative video. Beauty of Joeson is one of my favourites ❤️
Thanks from France for your reliable content.
I was just wishing for this video from you!!
Thank you, I need to regain faith in Korean sunscreen 😍
Also can we talk about how aesthetic the beauty of joseon sunscreen !!!
I really enjoy the Singmulnara Oxygen Water Waterproof Sun Cream. I have really sensitive skin (frequent perioral dermititis) but this fragrance is super pleasant and non sensitizing to me. I have never seen anyone review it, but def my fave korean waterproof sunscreen.
I am absolutely MARRIED to the Frudia one. I think it’s perfect - even works well under my makeup. I have combination skin and hate when sunscreens pill or done mix well with other products !!!
Now this is the kinda SponCon I appreciate 💓
And also like who wants her to write a book about Skincare and release an Audiobook with her perfect voice 👌
She has an ebook available on her website actually! It’s great
Innisfree is my favorite sunscreen, even if in the beginning it is a bit greasy and heavy after 5 min it is absorbs completely and feels so good, stays perfectly under makeup. they have another version with the white cup that also very good
I wore Beauty of Joseon on vacation in Arizona and did not burn. It is so cosmetically elegant. I love it.
Thank you for giving real life examples of skin tone like glow skin guy love it
Bellflower avocado sunblock is great for fall or late spring. The joseon is right up there in my book
I adore the Beauty of Joseon sunscreen, it's so good and quite affordable!
I've ordered the Beauty of Joseon one! Very excited for it. Isntree I bought at Xmas time and gifted to someone else, because it smells like sunscreen and she loved it. Also got the stick version for presents too. (I'm oily and acne prone Aussie too)
I am acne prone with combination skin. Did the BOJ sunscreen work well for you?
@@mA-mt1ii the BoJ one of lovely but it irritated my sensitive skin :( ditto for Toboco. Both feel amazing but make it skin itch if I use them two days in a row, and that irritation lead to more acne (it seemed). My hubby loves it though. I'd say you should give it a go cos it's lightweight and non greasy and saved on moisturiser
Thank you for your detailed reply really appreciate it. I’ve started the sunscreen along with isntree hyaluronic acid aqua gel moisturiser and noticed new breakouts. I’m confused which one is causing them:(
Loved your video, super helpful as always! :) have you ever tried the numbuzin porcelain base-skip tone up beige spf 50+ pa++++? Seems like an interesting product since it claims to be a sunscreen, foundation, and powder, but I wanted to see what your thoughts were
Beauty of joseon is the only sunscreen that doesnt make me oily.. Feels very lightweight.. Amazing product..
Please do make a video of cosmetically elegant water resistant sunscreens!!🙏😍
I have been eyeing some of these before but I am definitely gonna try these now
"I don't know your life". Me too, i don't know my own life sometimes, lol.. 😄❤️
I've also just recently came across the Mary&May brand and the their Peptide Bakuchiol sunscreen sounds very appealing for my sensitive mature skin... would love to see you do a review on that and more products of that brand 😊 Their products formulations appear to be really simple and straight forward wich as someone who struggles with rosacea/acne breakouts i care about. Anyway.. very good video and valueable information, thank you 🙌❤
i love beauty of joseon. the two finger rule really helps to dilute the appearance of any redness or rosacea on my skin and improves the look of my complexion
I really loved the new Quick flick products in this area.
Ooh! I've tried all of these bar one myself.
I was so excited to try the BoJ one because of all the hype but unfortunately after a few days of testing, nasty red bumps emerged. I think the rice extract may be the culprit. Gutted as I really enjoyed the feel and wear under makeup. The Isntree Watery Sun Gel is also a firm favourite of mine. I ordered the stick version recently so looking forward to testing that.
Always enjoy your sunscreen vids, in particular.
I had the exact same experience! I’m on my 3rd Isntree bottle!
Good to know thx luv
Oooh! That might be what's up. I like the texture, but if I wear it two days in a row I get red bumps. Such a bummer.
Oh that's disappointing! Are you allergic to rice at all?
Oh no, I've just started using the BOJ sunscreen recently and got loads of bumps on my skin too. I am still in denial because I love the texture so much, plus it does not sting my eyes 😫😫
I would love to see a Korean water-resistant sunscreen review!
I have super dry skin, and I love the Beauty of Joseon sunscreen too
Thank you for this awesome and highly helpful video ☺️
I use Isntree and I love it. I have oily skin but using this I find don’t get too oily and no eye sting! It also gives me a nice glow which is a plus. I prefer this compared to my previous HG Biore Aqua watery essence which did make me oily faster and caused eye sting when I perspire.
Thank you! I found 2 new sunscreens from this video! Hugs from Arizona USA
We love 💕 you and your intelligence. Thanks so much!
Glad to finally learn that the Beauty of Joseon sunscreen is a pass. GlowSkinGuy is like my skin tone twin, so it definitely won't work for me. I already knew Tinosorb M was a no-go from another Labmuffin video, but I absolutely would have bought that BOJ sunscreen without checking because the reviews online have been phenomenal. Still on the hunt for a sunscreen to replace the discontinued Purito Green Level Safe Sun in my heart. 💔
Great timing 🥰
The isintree stings my eyes and makes my eyes water. I am IN LOVE with thw beauty of joseon. My fav forsure !!! CANMAKE IS also a great runner up.
I love the Canmake!
Dominique: The Isntree stung my eyes too. I ordered the BOJ one. I hope it works.
I feel so skintellectual by owning two of the four recommended SPFs and by watching Odile and Ramon too. Anyway, I love your videos ❤
I bought the beauty of Joseon sunscreen. I am a dark skin black woman and even though there was a white sheen at first, it doesn't stay. I really like it and will buy it again.
The Beauty of Joseon was the first chemical sunscreen I tried (I only started wearing sunscreen daily about 7 months ago 🙈) and I love it! Have tried some since, both Korean and American that are ok but either have heavy fragrance or burn tf out of my eyes so for now, BOJ is my go to ❤️
Me too. Same. It’s a true gem.
I'm trying to find a sunscreen that doesn't give me a white cast (most physical sunscreens) or burn my eyes. I'm going to try the ones in this review. Fingers crossed!
try tocobo , so much better under makeup. BOJ marketing is pushed on tiktok and youtube hard, but its nothing special
@@poshdelux I will check it out! I honestly have loved quite a few of the Korean and Japanese sunscreens I've tried for the most part, especially recently. There have been a couple of duds but most of them are awesome. I recently picked up the Kose Suncut Aqualy UV protects gel SPF 50+ PA++++ and it's insanely good and super affordable! I think I paid 16 bucks for a 160g bottle and that was just on Amazon and I know it's cheaper direct. I'm trying to find a good waterproof option and I know they have one that is waterproof but I needed something quick so I just ordered the skin aqua UV super moisture gel because we are going on a pontoon boat at work on Thursday I needed something fast. I've heard good things about it so I'm sure it'll be great!
Same .. and the fact that it doesnt have drying alcohol but lightweight.. so amazing .. and the rice extracts too is so unique for me ..
Surfer here, so i have tried all the water resistant sun creams, in Australia you have so many and not too expensive, but here (Spain, Europe) you don´t have such a huge choice. My favourite is the Sports BB by Shiseido (liquid and make up looking like in a grey packaging), it´s heavy and very drying (as all of the really resistant formulas are) but it looks good and stays on even after a few hours in the water...definitely my favourite! (you obviously have to do a proper double cleanse...)
Odile Monod made me try Beauty of Jeseon serums and i love it !!!! But i am still usong my 2 fave Japanese sunscreens, Anessa and Skin Aqua. Just finished Canmake.
I use all of the Innisfree ones. The Long Lasting one unfortunately broke me out. I gave it to my daughter and she loves it.
I completely agree about the coral statement too. The ocean is quite self cleaning, unless polluted in MASSIVE amounts. I do believe this is just a marketing ploy to advertise being “environmentaly friendly.” Though I have recently been actively finding sunscreen that are more “reef friendly” just incase.
I use Isntree Watery Sun Gel spf 50, and it's perfect for me. I might try the Beauty of Joseon one next.
Great review, but I would love to hear if the sunscreens make your eyes water. I know you recommend using another dedicated sunscreen around the eyes , but whether it irritates the eyes is just something like always want to know.
I recently bought the Isntree one on a whim. My skin tingles a bit from it and it stings my eyes after a few hours, but it's ok
i love the beauty of joseon sunscreen so much
another great video 💛
I’d love to hear your recommendations for children’s sunscreens. My kids hate being plastered in the stuff, what do you suggest?
Oh and your channel is brilliant!
I am so against chemical sunscreens (us brands only) but summer is coming and mineral sunscreen during the summer time gives me the worst white cast. I can get away with it in the fall/winter but in the summer time my sweat is literally dripping white and is so greasy from the amount of spf I have to put on. It’s time I get me a chemical sunscreen (from Korea). I just bought the probiotic sunscreen and the water resistant sunscreen you recommended!! As well as the thank you farmer sun stick and the inisfree hylauronic sun stick for reapplying Thank you ❤
Loved this video. Would just have liked if you talked about whether they had white casts
Thanks for the great video :)
I would like to see a video from you about Ultrasun sunscreens.
Could you please recommend a sunscreen with matte finish? I love your videos, very informative! Thank you so much!❤
We need more body sunscreens reviews ✌🏻✌🏻
My favorite one is by Roundlab, do you know it? is called the birch juice moisturizing sun cream spf50+ PA+++++. I've tried all the ones you mentioned in the video except fot the Mary one. The thing is I have supersensitive eyes for sunscreen (also mineral..), very acne prone skin that burns easily. Ive tried probably over a 100 different brands and formulas and this is the first one I actually enjoy using (after the purito one, because then the drama came out 😭). Would love to hear your opinion on a more scientific level!
Hello! I love your reviews! May I suggest you try to review the popular Filipino sunscreen brand Belo. They're very affordable so I would love to know your perspective about it.
I’d love to try the Beauty of Joseon one! Is it safe while breastfeeding though? Thanks!!
The BoJ one is super popular, every youtuber is recommending it so I'm definitely trying that next. I was wondering what do you think of the new Glow recipe one?
It balls up really badly on my skin 🥲
Hi! Love your videos. Is there certain sunscreens pregnancy or breastfeeding moms should stay away from?
I must watch more of your sunscreen stuff - I’m heading to Florida end of August, with my sensitive skinned husband and our eight year old daughter who’s autistic and hates greasy textures on her face/neck! I’m oily with blocked pore tendencies too!
Be careful of the heat and humidity with these sorts of lighter sunscreens - I don't think they fare too well with sweat! I'd definitely recommend looking into sun protective clothing and hats for your daughter, might be a bit more tolerable for her 😊
Beauty of Joseon is my holy grail sunscreen. It's so amazing under makeup.
Me too! I am squeezing the last drop as we speak, and I’ve been waiting on my repurchase for weeks from Stylevana
Hi, Michelle! I would love to know your thoughts about Dr. Shereene Idriss' video on hyaluronic acid. She has quite the bone to pick with the way brands tend to gloss over the difference between the HA found in the body and the stuff we tend to see in ingredient lists, such as sodium hyaluronate.
I haven't seen it, but there are a lot of HA myths around going both ways! I should really do a video on it...
Yes I would be interested in this too! Too much confusion!
Love the beauty of joseon! We have a similar skin type and some other favorites are the Neogen day light airy sunscreen and the kose Suncut waterproof gel (Japan), curious to hear your thoughts on the validity of their testing! I believe I heard about the kose from Glow by Ramon
Watching this with beauty of Joseon around my eyes as a test 😂 I hope it’s ok in this Australian sun. So far it feels fantastic
I've tried so many sunscreens for my mature but oily and blemish-prone skin. As you say I've ended up using most on my neck/chest/hands,or given them to family members. The old Purito was great, until "the scandal" over its SPF/PA rating led to a reformulation. The new one is much too thick and greasy for me. About to try the Hada Labo aqua one, currently using Canmake mermaid skin, which seems ok, but is a tiny tube. Sigh...
Michelle my favorite Korean water resistant spf is the Isa Knox UV Sun Pro Fluid. It has a more lightweight texture than the innisfree.
Thanks for the recommendation!
Thank you so much for this video, it's AMAZING! Love watching your channel (;
I am quite a scientific nerd, haha
hello, thank you for the information and detailed reviews. I want to ask, which sunscreen is recommended when using retinol or tretinoin?
loveeed the review I have the exact same skin type so thanks 🙂🙂🙂
Hi Michelle. Try Etude House Sunprise mild airy finish sunscreen, I love it. It gives matte finish and doesn't make my face oily for quite sometime.
