A sunscreen with a strong tone-up effect. I recently finished one, and I'm currently on my third tube. It spreads well despite the high SPF, and I like how it brightens my skin without leaving a white cast. On uneventful workdays, sometimes this is all I use for my base. Since it's sunscreen, when I wear it to work, it's creased by the time I get home. It doesn't look bad, though. It doesn't pill or flake off either, so it's easy to use and I like it.

Kanebo

Cream In Day II

My favorite day cream. It smells so good and makes my morning skincare routine feel nice and relaxing. It's a soft cream that spreads easily and doesn't leave a white cast. When I finish my morning skincare with Cream In Day II and then do my makeup, my foundation goes on really well, and I just can't live without it!

D'Alba

Air Fit Blue Tone-Up Sun Powder

I feel like I say this every time, but D'Alba is cheapest during the Mega Sale. Is the new blue sunscreen powder not coming back in stock during the Mega Sale?🥹🩵(?) This type of powder is a total lifesaver for bangs wrecked by sweat and oil💭💭 The brush is cute like a puppy and super fluffy too! For getting rid of forehead shine & reviving my bangs‼️Of course, it’s also an easy way to get sun protection on your neck and face. Update: No sign of it coming back and I could cry, pretty please D'Alba🤲

Beauty of Joseon

Relief Sun Aqua-Fresh Rice + B5 SPF 50+

It's incredibly refreshing and non-greasy, so it's really perfect for summer. It's so lightweight I wonder if I even put it on, so it feels great to apply. There's nothing that makes me think, "It has to be this one!" but I like that it's affordable.

Astalift

D-UV Shield Tone-Up SPF 50+

Astalift by Fujifilm. The shade is Rose. This has really strong sun protection. It's a must-have for summer. Even if you don't apply it every day, using this as a base on days when the UV rays are strong, when you'll be driving, or when you plan to go out keeps worries about the sun to a minimum. It barely has any tone-up effect, so I mix it with a CC cream or color corrector from another brand. If you're using it on its own, don't expect it to tone up your skin. lol But I definitely want people to use this on days when they're more concerned about sunburn than toning up their skin. If you're choosing just one base product for summer, this is the one. The downside of previous Astalift products was that they tended to break down easily, but I feel like that's been significantly improved with this one. Its adherence to the skin and how well foundation adheres to it are both satisfactory. However, the biggest selling point of this product is its UV protection, so I don't think it's particularly good at the tone-up effect I mentioned earlier or preventing dryness, which is important in fall and winter. I think you could buy one for summer and use something else in fall and winter. But I'll definitely buy it again next summer.

Dr. Jart+

Every Sun Day Moisturizing Sun SPF 50+ PA++++

Another sun cream I love and keep repurchasing! It spreads easily, doesn't feel thick or get too sticky, and it almost never pills when layered with other products. It's often sold as a 1+1 deal, so I usually buy it at Olive Young in Korea. It's good value too, so I use it on my arms and neck, and it's moisturizing enough without being too much, making it good for winter as well.

Hera

UV PROTECTOR TONE-UP SPF50+/PA++++

I'd been wanting to try Hera's UV PROTECTOR TONE-UP SPF50+/PA++++ forever, and it was so good! It's a primer with a soft texture that spreads easily and gives just the right amount of tone-up. It's also very moisturizing and has a finish that makes my skin look plump, and it doesn't break down easily even after hours of wear. I couldn't decide between this and the lavender one, but the pink, which helps correct my complexion, suited me really well. It's a little pricey for a Korean makeup primer, but you only need a small amount and I loved how it felt, so I'll repurchase.

Astalift

D-UV Shield Tone-Up SPF 50+

I'll be honest. I won't repurchase this. It leaves an unbelievable white cast. Like, I looked like a ghost. People around me repeatedly pointed out that my face looked weird because it was way too white, and although I think I used about half of it, I threw it away. It's pretty expensive, so if you're considering buying it, you should think carefully. Especially if you're thinking of buying it because you want to get by with just sunscreen + powder, don't. I have a normal skin tone, and it looked awful on me. I don't think it would blend in unless you have extremely fair skin.

Anessa

Perfect UV Sunscreen Skincare Milk SPF 50+

This was my go-to for beach trips this year! It's easy to spread, and even after it sets to a smooth, dry finish, it doesn't feel overly drying, which is amazing🥰 It's been a while since I bought one of Anessa's shake-before-use formulas, but it made me realize that even their classics just keep getting better. It's a little pricey, but this is still the one for sunscreen in the middle of summer!

Laneige

Water Bank UV Barrier Sunscreen SPF 50+

Even though it provides solid UV protection with SPF 50+ PA++++, there's no white cast or squeaky feeling at all, and it has a fresh, lightweight, serum-like texture!

Astalift

D-UV Shield Tone-Up SPF 50+

I bought this for long UVA protection during the summer. The shade I used was Rose. I didn't use this daily, only for specific occasions like summer leisure activities. It spreads easily, adheres closely to the skin, and doesn't crease easily. It has just the right amount of coverage to even out my skin, enough that I can go out wearing only this. However, I personally find that it leaves a pretty noticeable white cast, so I think of it as being specifically for UV protection rather than makeup. I tested how well it held up against sweat in the bath (see the second photo), and it is extremely durable, so I can use it with confidence. I plan to keep using it in the summer. However, outside of summer, it tends to dry out my skin type, and it sometimes caused a slight stinging sensation.

S.NATURE

Aqua 365 UV Sun Protective Cream SPF 50+

The texture is light and smooth, so it's easy to apply. I'd recommend it to anyone who doesn't like sticky products. It feels moisturizing after application. I have oily skin, so oil starts to come through after a while. It's odorless at first, but if you don't use it up soon after opening, it starts to smell bad.

La Chinata

Sun Cream SPF 50+

I was honestly so impressed—it exceeded my expectations 😍✨ It applies really smoothly and leaves my skin feeling hydrated, yet it absorbs nicely without feeling sticky or heavy, so I find myself reaching for it every day. With SPF 50+, it provides solid sun protection, and I loved how it smoothed out my skin without pilling or looking patchy even under makeup ☀️💖 Most of all, it doesn't have that heavy, suffocating feeling sunscreen often does, and it absorbs naturally, so it felt comfortable all day long. The scent isn't overpowering, and it feels so clean on the skin that it's easily one of the best products I've tried so far 👍💕 I'll definitely repurchase once I finish it, and I'd love to recommend it to others too. This is officially a forever staple 🥰🌿

SK-II

Genoptics Airy UV Cream SPF 50+ PA ++++

⋆┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈⋆ SK-II Genoptics Airy UV Cream SPF 50+ PA ++++ ⋆┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈⋆ At first I was thinking of buying the CC cream, but I wanted to apply it generously all the way down my neck, and I was also planning to use it with a color-correcting primer, so I decided to try the colorless type since it seemed easier to use. My first impression was, "It's tiny!! ( °_° )" This price for something this compact. That's SK-II for you. Even so, I ended up buying it because my skin was in such good condition when I used the sample. When I use a sunscreen that doesn't agree with me, my skin often feels tired or my pores get clogged and I break out, but none of that happened at all with this one. The texture is a smooth cream, and after spreading it on, it feels silky without being sticky. There's none of that squeaky feeling you get with some sunscreens, and the lightweight, skincare-like feel is really comfortable✨ Since it's colorless, it has almost no coverage, but it gives a subtle glow and I feel like it makes my skin look nicer. It doesn't leave a white cast or look heavy, and I liked the natural finish that lets my own skin shine through. The only things I don't really like are the packaging shape, which seems like it'll make it hard to use up every last bit neatly, and the high price😅 Even so, it was a product I'm glad I bought✨ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - #SKII #GenopticsAiryUVCream #BestCosmetics #BestCosmetics2025 #Sunscreen

Decorte

UV Comfort Airy Transparent

This sunscreen is so lightweight, it feels like you haven’t applied sunscreen at all. It has what you could call a “smooth red bean paste” texture, and is a translucent, gel-like cream. It’s truly light as air, with zero shine or stickiness, and feels super smooth. It does have some moisturizing feel, but it’s more of an oily moisturized feel rather than a watery one. Since it’s transparent, it doesn’t brighten the skin tone, but it does softly blur pores and skin texture. It leaves a slightly matte finish, too. Since it’s transparent, it’s also great that it doesn’t leave a white cast or get on your clothes or accessories! It works pretty well with makeup, doesn’t break down easily, and wears off nicely. It’s not like it’s weak against sweat, but... I feel more reassured when I apply another layer. The only thing that bothers me a little is that the scent is strong. I like the scent, so it’s fine, but since it feels like you’re not wearing sunscreen at all, I thought making the scent more subtle could have made its presence even less noticeable. Also, this smooth red bean paste texture is probably from silicone-based ingredients, so that might be a matter of personal preference. I’m the type who doesn’t mind that at all, so I like using it. I love this sunscreen because it lets me eliminate one layer of heaviness from my base makeup!

La Roche-Posay

Uvidea Anthelios Tone-Up Rosy SPF50+

To cut to the chase, this is the best. I’ve decided I’m sticking with it for life. ①High sun protection I seriously don’t tan. I didn’t tan in Hawaii, Guam, Los Angeles, or San Francisco either. I trust it from the bottom of my heart ②It brightens the skin tone I always use ROSY, and the amount of brightening is just perfect. It brightens my skin just enough without creating too much of a color difference with my neck ③It helps reduce itching during pollen season When I go outside without any protection during pollen season, I get little red bumps and my face starts itching. But when I use this primer, it helps keep the itching under control. This primer is seriously unbelievable I always have a huge stockpile of it. I recommend buying it cheaply at outlet stores. Also, if you’re going to Korea, check out The Shilla Duty Free—you can get it for ridiculously cheap.

Biore

UV Aqua Rich Aqua Highlight Lotion SPF 50+ PA++++

I use it on my body. I especially recommend using it around the décolletage. The highlighting effect makes it look really beautiful. I don’t think you need to use it all over your body, but definitely apply this sunscreen to your décolletage.

Clé de Peau Beauté

UV Protective Cream SPF 50+

I think this is the pinnacle of sunscreens! It’s moderately firm and spreads well, but it doesn’t keep spreading loosely forever—it adheres evenly and snugly. It barely feels like sunscreen at all. It feels more like a cream you apply as the last step of your skincare routine. It isn’t sticky or shiny, and it’s resistant to sweat, so it seems suitable for both summer and winter. It applies evenly and doesn’t crease or get patchy as time passes, so I feel like it really does prevent tanning properly. I also use KANEBO’s Veil of Day and Cosme Decorté’s Airy Transparent, but I feel like Clé de Peau’s sunscreen prevents tanning the best. Veil of Day has a slightly runny texture and seemed weak against sweat, making me feel like I might tan, but I don’t have that concern with Clé de Peau’s sunscreen (though they’re not really comparable since the prices are about twice as different). *I’ve included a summary of my thoughts on the three department-store sunscreens I own in the image. It also seems good as a makeup primer. The pale pink texture turns transparent when applied, so it doesn’t brighten the skin tone, but it helps makeup adhere and gives a beautiful finish. So far, I haven’t experienced any pilling either. The downside is that it’s expensive.. But I did feel that expensive sunscreens really are different in their own way. There’s genuinely none of that tight, squeaky feeling you get with sunscreen.. Another thing that bothered me a little was the scent. Why does it smell citrusy..?? That was the only part that left me puzzled. I really would have preferred a floral scent.. But I felt that this sunscreen really does prevent tanning, so I think I’ll make an effort to repurchase it!
