Relief Sun, made lighter.
Love the original Relief Sun but your skin runs oily? Aqua-Fresh is the more watery version, with no white cast or greasiness.

Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun Aqua-Fresh: Rice + B5 is an SPF50+ PA++++ daily sunscreen with 30% rice seed water and panthenol (vitamin B5). It is the lighter, more watery version of the original Relief Sun, and Beauty of Joseon position it especially for oily and combination skin. They describe the finish as fresh, with no white cast or greasiness.

  • Perfect for: oily or combination skin, wearing under makeup, anyone who finds creamy sunscreens too rich
  • Feels like: a watery, lightweight lotion with a fresh, dewy finish
  • Key ingredients: SPF50+ PA++++ chemical filters, rice seed water 30%, panthenol

Why we chose it

Sunscreen only works if you wear it every day, and oilier skin often skips creamy formulas. This gives the same Relief Sun protection in a lighter texture, with no fragrance in the listed ingredients.

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 modern chemical filters rather than zinc oxide or titanium dioxide. Rice seed water and panthenol keep skin feeling hydrated and comfortable under the protection.

Key ingredients

  • Rice seed water (30%): hydration and a fresh feel
  • Panthenol (vitamin B5): helps skin hold moisture and feel comfortable
  • Ceramide NP, sodium hyaluronate and beta-glucan: light barrier and hydration support
  • Chemical UV filters: broad UVA and UVB protection

Best for

  • Oily and combination skin
  • Skin that gets shiny or congested with richer sunscreens
  • Anyone using retinal, acids, vitamin C or brightening serums
  • Wearing under makeup

Not ideal if

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. Reapply every 2 to 3 hours outdoors, and after sweating, swimming or towel drying.

Pro tip: Top it up during the day with Beauty of Joseon Matte Sun Stick, which also controls shine.

Good to know

The box also reminds you not to stay too long in the sun, even with sunscreen on. Do I need sunscreen every day in the UK? explains when UK sun matters.

How is it different from the original Relief Sun?

Aqua-Fresh is the lighter, watery version with a fresher, sheerer finish, and Beauty of Joseon position it especially for oily and combination skin. The original Relief Sun: Rice + Probiotics is creamier and suits normal to dry skin better.

Does it leave a white cast?

Beauty of Joseon 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.

Is it matte?

No. Beauty of Joseon describe the finish as fresh and natural rather than matte, and it is not greasy. If you want a matte finish, the Beauty of Joseon Matte Sun Stick is the better choice.

Is it suitable for sensitive skin?

Often, yes. There is no fragrance in the listed ingredients, and Beauty of Joseon say it is suitable for sensitive skin. The butyloctyl salicylate in the formula is a texture ingredient, not an exfoliant. If chemical filters are what bother your skin, try a mineral sunscreen such as Knours Koolsol Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50.

Is it water-resistant?

No, it is not labelled water-resistant. Reapply after sweating, swimming or towel drying, and regularly while you are outdoors.

  • Mornings, as the last skincare step: after moisturiser, before makeup.
  • Apply generously: about two finger-lengths is a common guide for face and neck.
  • Apply before you go out into the sun, and let it settle for a minute or two before makeup.
  • Reapply frequently outdoors (Beauty of Joseon say every 2 to 3 hours), and especially after sweating, swimming or towel drying. It is not labelled water-resistant.
  • Keep it away from your eyes, and stop using it if your skin feels uncomfortable, as the box directs.
  • If you use AHAs, retinal or brightening serums, make daily sunscreen a fixed habit. The box specifically advises protecting skin from UV while using AHA products.
