Why it's on the Korean shelf

The sunscreen that turned the world on to Korean SPF. Lightweight cream, no white cast, sits well under makeup. In Korea it is a permanent shelf staple rather than a trend.

Who it's for

Normal to dry skin; anyone who hates the feel of sunscreen.

Honest note

The version sold on us.oliveyoung.com and some US shelves is reformulated for FDA-approved filters. The original Korean formula ships from Korea via Olive Young Global (non-US) and YesStyle.
