Applying sunscreen is the most crucial step in Korean skincare, after hydration. Korean sunscreen formulations are really innovative and unique which attracts a lot of us to buy them. The most attractive part is that they don’t leave a heavy white cast even if they contain high SPF or mineral filters. Personally, I have used the It’s skin UV away sunblock in the past and it was really good but it is not available in India anymore. Not only this but after lockdown bunch of Korean products went out of stock and are still unavailable. Although, today I am sharing the Korean sunscreen that is currently available in India.

This sunscreen is creamy matte and well suited for normal, combination and oily skin types. Whereas, dry skin people would need a good moisturizer underneath. Furthermore, the sunscreen does not leave a white cast but you will notice an initial white cast because it is a physical sunscreen.

Here’s another sunscreen from the brand Isntree. That is Isntree hyaluronic acid natural sun cream, a mineral sunscreen that blends easily and leaves no heavy white cast. It leaves a semi-matte finish which can be used under makeup too. This fragrance-free formula protects your skin with SPF 50 PA++++.

The sunscreen comes with SPF 50 PA+++ and it is suitable for combination, normal and dry skin types. Moreover, its non-sticky and hydrating formula makes it perfect to use under makeup. But you should avoid it using around your eyes because some people have experienced eye irritation due to this, especially if you have sensitive eyes, you should avoid this.
6. The Face Shop Natural Sun Eco No Shine Hydrating Sun Cream
The face shop hydrating sun cream is quite similar to Isntree hyaluronic acid watery sun gel. It has a creamy lotion consistency that leaves a dewy finish without any white cast.

Due to the hydrating and moisturizing properties, it may not suit oily and combination skin. However, this will be ideal for dry, normal skin as it provides essential hydration.
8. ETUDE HOUSE Sunprise Mild Airy Finish
ETUDE HOUSE sunprise sunscreen contains SPF 50 PA+++ and is a mineral/physical sunscreen. It has a fluid-like consistency that blends easily and leaves no white cast. Although, it looks slightly noticeable on deeper skin tones but does not make skin ghostly white. Moreover, due to the fluid consistency it does not feel heavy or greasy.

9. LANEIGE Watery Sun Cream SPF 50+
LANEIGE sun cream is a water-based sunscreen that comes with SPF 50 PA++++ and it is ideal for dry, normal skin types. Besides, the sunscreen gives a little tone-up effect, hence it will be suitable for fairer skin tones. If you are looking for hydrating sunscreen, you can go for this. It also leaves skin dewy. I would not recommend this to people having dusky skin tones. Furthermore, the product is water/sweat resistant and is dermatologically tested.
