    beauty of joseon is the best sunscreen i’ve ever tried, i can’t stand the greasy/oily feeling of most sunscreens i’ve tried and the beauty of joseon one actually makes me excited to wear sunscreen!!
  • @Jod3lay
    Almost 25 years since the last UV filter approval..? That's absurd! I'm so glad to see derms like you and dr Dray are trying to make a difference!
  • @seanlamar8582
    Thank you for explaining the PA system! I always struggled understanding the rating system, and your explanation was so concise and clarifying! 🙏❤️
  • @CWLim-gu6wx
    Biore is actually a Japanese brand. As for the blue dye in sunscreen. Some Asian sunscreen has it for color correcting or 'brightening' features (usually in Asia that means making you look fairer). In fact Biore UV has one specifically with that. Tried that, nice texture and all but the brightening part is not my jam.
  • I'm a sunscreen nerd, and I love the visual with the different active ingredients; trying to explain this to others is so hard, but that makes it so easy!
  • I would LOVE to see a part 2 of this. I absolutely adore korean spfs, and theres SO many amazing ones out there
  • @avsavs4845
    I love how you make it all easy to understand and make skincare so simple. I've been watching your vids and i learned so much and still learning. The "more is not more" helped me everytime, mostly when trying new products on my face. Kudos and more power beautiful angel. Thank you, you are my "to go watch" always when it comes to skin problems and skin care routine.
  • @buguz
    You never failed to deliver!! Heart you so much. I've been trying a different K-sunscreen every time I finish a bottle and boy do I love the options! I don't think I can ever go back to US sunscreens considering their price range, the options and cosmetic elegance.
  • @kbeautyhobbit
    Love the super detailed explanations - thank you! Purito and many other brands have official amazon storefronts. There’s nothing wrong with buying from those.
  • @happytx1860
    Best video of 2023! I really appreciate that you showed the uva & uvb range of protection. I found some new sunscreens that I want to try. Thanks
  • @tilda9068
    Thank you so much for the video! I always wondered what the PA system meant so thanks for the explanation :) and the visualization of how much the individual filters Cover und the UVA/UVB spectrum was really nice as well… I ordere the beauty of jeoson sunscreen and it’s probably gonna arrive soon so this just made me even more excited to try it out myself :)
  • Great round up. Best sellers currently in Korea are the Round Lab Birch juice moisturizing sun cream and the Abib sunstick. Hope you can take a look at them next time. Also, I would love to hear more about ‘K’ skin care in general. Love your channel!
  • @mairalopez471
    Thanks! The linked website had a huge sale and I was able to get 3 of the recommended products! Thank you! I’m excited 🥳
  • @cdambartman
    Great info! I recently tried the beauty of joseon on my very sensitive skin and it's amazing!!! I would love to see a video from you on how to address pore congestion. Thank you for all of your videos!
  • Korean sunscreen is where it is at! They have really done sunscreen proud!!
  • @kelly1827
    Despite being a pale, easily burned white chick who knows better, for years I struggled to wear sunscreen daily because I hated how it felt and smelled. A couple of years ago I started following Dr. Dray and she convinced me to try Asian sunscreens. Such a huge difference! I now wear sunscreen almost daily. It has made a noticeable difference in my roseacea too. I'm currently using that Missha Sun milk. I like it well enough, but the Purito has been my favorite.
  • This is the best video for k beauty sunscreens ! You are the only one to list the spf ingredients which is very helpful for someone with Rosacea ! Thank you ! Great job !
  • @foxyhoney
    Beauty of Joseon is the best! Thank you for the recommendation from your previous video. Looking forward to trying Purito as well 😊
  • Recently started using Beauty of Joseon and I love it ❤. I have super oily skin and was using SuperGoop (avoiding white cast, I have dark skin). Joseon keeps my oiliness at a minimum with NO white cast . Now, I use my Supergoop as a highlighter on high points of my face.
