I've have found my new favourite sunscreen! Very lightweight and leaves no white cast as per most korean spfs. on some days I dont even use moistriser, just cleanse with water, toner serum and this spf. highly reccomend.

i’ve used it under makeup & it’s so hydrating without feeling greasy—no white cast either. makes my skin glow and doesn’t clog my pores. only downside is that it’s a bit reflective by afternoon but totally worth it.

Round Lab Birch Juice Moisturizing Sunscreen is an SPF50+ PA++++ daily sunscreen with birch sap, niacinamide and hyaluronic acid. It uses modern chemical filters in a moisturising cream that spreads easily and sits comfortably under makeup, for everyday protection 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. Four chemical filters provide the protection, and Round Lab describe it as leaving no white cast. Birch sap, glycerin and hyaluronic acid keep skin hydrated, and niacinamide helps even the look of tone.
Why we chose it
Sunscreen only works if you wear it every day, and this one has a creamy, moisturiser-like feel. It also protects the progress your retinal or brightening products are making.
Best for
- Normal to dry skin
- Dehydrated skin that finds matte sunscreens tight
- Anyone using retinal, acids, vitamin C or brightening serums
- Wearing under makeup
Not ideal if
- You avoid essential oils: it contains Roman chamomile flower oil and pine leaf oil. Purito Wonder Releaf Centella Daily Sun Lotion has none
- You prefer mineral filters: this uses chemical filters. Try Haruharu Wonder Black Rice Mineral Relief Daily Sunscreen
- You swim or sweat heavily: it is not labelled water-resistant, so reapply afterwards
Key ingredients
- Birch sap (Betula platyphylla japonica juice): hydration
- Niacinamide: helps even the look of tone
- Sodium hyaluronate and hyaluronic acid: hydration
- Four chemical UV filters: UVA and UVB protection
Texture and finish
A moisturising cream that spreads easily and sits comfortably under makeup. Round Lab describe the finish as dewy rather than matte, which is why we position it for normal to dry skin first.
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, building it up in thin layers, ideally 15 minutes before going out. Reapply at least every two hours when you are outdoors.

- Mornings, as the last skincare step: after moisturiser, before makeup.
- Apply evenly to your face, neck and any other skin the sun will reach, as the box directs. Use about two finger-lengths for face and neck: using less gives less protection than the label states.
- If that amount feels heavy in one go, apply it in two thinner layers.
- Apply about 15 minutes before you go outside.
- Reapply at least every two hours outdoors, and after swimming, sweating or towel drying. It is not labelled water-resistant.
- If you use retinal, exfoliating acids, vitamin C or brightening serums, make daily sunscreen a fixed habit.

Good to know
- Contains Roman chamomile flower oil and pine leaf oil (essential oils)
- Chemical UV filters only
- Not labelled water-resistant: reapply after swimming or sweating
- No retinoid and no exfoliating acids
Does it leave a white cast?
Round Lab describe it as leaving no white cast, and it uses chemical filters rather than zinc oxide or titanium dioxide. We have not seen enough reliable feedback across deeper skin tones to promise that it looks invisible on everyone.
Can oily skin use it?
It depends on the finish you like. It is a moisturising cream with a dewy finish, so it suits normal to dry skin best. If your skin is oily but feels tight or dehydrated, it can work well, especially in colder months. If you want a matte finish, it may feel too rich.
Does it contain fragrance or essential oils?
Round Lab say it has no artificial fragrance, but it does contain Roman chamomile flower oil and pine leaf oil, which are essential oils. If you avoid essential oils, Purito Wonder Releaf Centella Daily Sun Lotion has none.
Is it suitable for sensitive skin?
It depends on what your skin reacts to. Because of the two essential oils, we do not list it as a default choice for sensitive skin. If essential oils are not a trigger for you, patch test first. If chemical filters are what bother your skin, a mineral sunscreen such as Haruharu Wonder Black Rice Mineral Relief Daily Sunscreen is the better place to start.
Is it water-resistant?
No, it is not labelled water-resistant. Reapply after swimming, sweating or towel drying, and at least every two hours outdoors.
Can I wear it under makeup?
Yes. It is a cream that sits comfortably under makeup. Let it settle for a minute or two before foundation so the layers don't move.
