Why it's on the Korean shelf

A regular in Olive Young Korea's top 30 (sold as a 1+1 set). Watery, cooling, zero pilling — the sunscreen Korean office workers keep in their desk drawer.

Who it's for

Combination skin, daily commuters, people who reapply.

Honest note

Currently a '1+1' promotion in Korea (two tubes for ₩24,200), which is why the Korean unit price looks so low compared with US pricing.
