Beauty of Joseon, the K-Beauty brand known for their viral Daily Relief Sunscreen, debuted a new tinted sunscreen a few months ago, and it's quietly become a favorite in my skincare routine. The new Daily Tinted Fluid Sunscreen offers SPF 40 coverage in twelve ultra-sheer, buildable shades made with skincare benefits to enhance your complexion.
The Daily Tinted Fluid Sunscreen ($20) is a mineral sunscreen—also known as a physical sunscreen—and uses zinc oxide to create a physical barrier on the skin, which acts like a shield to reflect UV rays.
Unlike the brand's OG Relief Sunscreen, which is a chemical sunscreen, physical sunscreens don’t need time to absorb and activate, but protect your skin instantly after being applied. Mineral sunscreens are also gentler on sensitive skin, with Beauty of Joseon’s latest launch containing skin-soothing ingredients like ginseng, which is used to calm inflammation, redness, and puffiness.
It contains the brand’s signature fermented skincare complex of rice extract (for hydration and fine lines), soybean (that strengthens the skin barrier and stimulates collagen), and fermented pumpkin (for gentle exfoliation and a brighter, more unified complexion).
Since its launch back in February, beauty enthusiasts have said that they love the hydrating feel and that it melts into the skin. Others are saying that it blends out to a subtle skin-perfecting tint that feels lightweight and invisible on the skin, while the initial undertone oxidises slightly to better complement your skin tone.
Meanwhile, the formula itself feels very hydrating, but remember it’s a tinted sunscreen and not a tinted moisturizer. So, it’s recommended to follow your usual skincare routine and apply this tinted SPF as the final step (over serum and moisturizer) for skin that looks fresh and bouncy. It even wears well under makeup, lending a radiant glow to your base, with a few powders needed for the result to last all day.
