Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun: Rice + Probiotics is an SPF50+ PA++++ daily sunscreen with rice extract, niacinamide and probiotic ferments. It has a creamy, moisturiser-like texture and no white cast, made for comfortable everyday protection, especially on normal to dry skin.
What it does
SPF50+ protects against UVB, the rays that burn, and PA++++ is the highest rating for UVA, the rays linked to dark spots and skin ageing. It uses chemical filters, so it goes on clear. Rice extract, niacinamide, glycerin and probiotic ferments keep skin feeling hydrated and soft all day.
Why we chose it
Sunscreen only works if you wear it every day, so we chose one that feels like skincare: creamy, no white cast and no fragrance. It also protects the progress your brightening or retinal products are making.
Best for
- Normal to dry skin
- Dehydrated or sensitive skin
- Anyone using retinal, acids, vitamin C or brightening serums
- Wearing under makeup
- People who find matte sunscreens drying
Not ideal if
- Your skin is very oily and you want a lighter finish: choose Relief Sun Aqua-Fresh: Rice + B5
- You prefer mineral-only filters: this uses chemical filters
- You are swimming or doing sport: it is not labelled water-resistant, so reapply afterwards
Key ingredients
- Rice extract: hydration and softness
- Niacinamide: helps even tone and support the barrier
- Bifida ferment lysate and lactobacillus ferment: comfort
- Modern chemical UV filters: broad UVA and UVB protection with no white cast
Texture and finish
Creamy yet lightweight. It spreads easily and leaves a soft, dewy finish rather than a matte one, which feels comfortable on dry skin and can look shiny on very oily skin by the afternoon.
Where it goes in your routine
Mornings only, as the last skincare step: after moisturiser, before makeup. Use about two finger-lengths for face and neck, and reapply at least every two hours when you are outdoors.
Good to know
Beauty of Joseon describe it as fragrance-free and alcohol-free, and our box lists no fragrance or essential oils. Do I need sunscreen every day in the UK? explains when UK sun is strong enough to matter.

- Mornings, as the last skincare step: after moisturiser, before makeup.
- Use two full finger-lengths for face and neck, as Beauty of Joseon recommend. The box warns that using less lowers the protection significantly.
- Apply at least 30 minutes before you go out in strong sun, and let it settle for a minute or two before makeup.
- Reapply at least every two hours outdoors, and after swimming, sweating or towel drying. It is not labelled water-resistant.
- Over makeup, pat a fresh layer on rather than rubbing, so you don't disturb what is underneath.
- If you are using retinal, exfoliating acids or working on dark marks, daily sunscreen is especially worth making consistent.

Does it leave a white cast?
It is designed to apply clear, and most of the reviews we checked report no obvious white cast. A small number mention some cast in flash photography. We have not seen enough reliable feedback across deeper skin tones to promise that it looks invisible on everyone.
Is it too shiny for oily skin?
It has a dewy finish. On oily skin, especially in warm weather, it can feel too glowy by the afternoon. If that sounds like you, Relief Sun Aqua-Fresh: Rice + B5 is the lighter version.
Does it work under makeup?
For most people, yes. Let it settle for a minute or two first. If it pills, give it longer, or use a lighter moisturiser underneath.
How much should I use?
Two full finger-lengths for face and neck. SPF is tested at a generous amount, and the NHS notes most people don't apply enough, so a thin layer gives less protection than the label says.
Do I need it every day in the UK?
The NHS says UK sun is strongest between 11am and 3pm from March to October. Daily sunscreen is also a sensible habit if you use retinoids or exfoliating acids, or you are working on dark spots. Our guide Do I need sunscreen every day in the UK? goes into detail.
Will it sting my eyes?
A few reviews mention stinging if it runs into the eyes, while many say it doesn't. The box says to avoid contact with the eyes, so stop short of the lash line. If your skin or eyes are very reactive, patch test first.
