The Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun Aqua-fresh is a lightweight and deeply hydrating sunscreen that feels more like a refreshing essence than a typical sun cream. Created as a companion to the brand's popular Relief Sun, this new formulation focuses on providing intense moisture and soothing care with its unique blend of traditional Hanbang (Korean herbal medicine) ingredients. The star ingredients are Rice Extract, a time-honored source of hydration and brightening properties, and Panthenol (Vitamin B5), a key ingredient for soothing irritated skin and reinforcing the skin's natural barrier.
This sun cream is a chemical sunscreen, meaning it protects by absorbing UV rays and converting them into heat. Its advanced formula ensures it glides on smoothly, leaving no sticky residue or unflattering white cast, making it perfect for daily use and ideal for all skin tones. The "Aqua-fresh" texture is perfect for those who dislike the heavy feel of traditional sunscreens, as it feels weightless and comfortable throughout the day. By providing both robust sun protection and effective skincare benefits, the Relief Sun Aqua-fresh is a must-have for maintaining a healthy, hydrated, and radiant complexion.
