Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun: Aqua-Fresh is a lightweight, water-based sunscreen that provides powerful SPF50+ PA++++ protection without the creamy richness of the original version. Formulated with Rice Seed Water and Panthenol (Vitamin B5), it delivers immediate hydration and a cooling sensation upon application. It absorbs quickly into the skin, leaving a fresh, natural finish with zero white cast and no sticky residue, making it a perfect daily shield for warm climates and active lifestyles.
The "Aqua-Fresh" Innovation
While the original Relief Sun is known for its "nourishing cream" texture, the Aqua-Fresh version is engineered for "weightless hydration." It utilizes a specialized formulation that breaks into a watery essence upon contact with the skin. This allows the high-performance UV filters to set quickly while the Panthenol works to lock in moisture and strengthen the skin barrier, preventing the "tight" feeling that can occur after a long day in the sun.
Key Features & Benefits:
Rice Seed Water (30%): A traditional Korean beauty ingredient (Hanbang) rich in vitamins and minerals that helps to brighten and smooth the skin's complexion.
Panthenol (Vitamin B5): Known for its incredible soothing and hydrating properties, it helps to calm skin that has been sensitized by environmental heat or pollution.
Invisible Finish: Leaves no white cast, making it an excellent choice for all skin tones and a seamless base for the Maybelline Super Stay 30H Foundation.
Hydration without Heaviness: Provides the moisturizing benefits of a serum with the high-level protection of a clinical sunscreen.
Non-Comedogenic: The breathable formula is designed not to clog pores, making it ideal for those prone to breakouts.
Skin Type: Ideal for Oily, Combination, and Normal skin.
How to Use for a Protected, Fresh Glow:
Prep: Apply as the final step of your morning skincare. If you have oily skin, this can often replace your morning moisturizer after applying The Ordinary Niacinamide Serum.
Amount: Use the "two-finger rule"—apply two strips of sunscreen along your index and middle fingers to ensure you are getting the full SPF 50 protection.
Application: Spread evenly over the face and neck. The watery texture allows for effortless blending without pulling the skin.
Makeup Synergy: Wait about 60 seconds for the sunscreen to set. It creates a smooth, hydrated canvas that helps your Sheglam Dynamatte Lipstick and other makeup look more vibrant.
Reapplication: Because it is so lightweight, it is easy to layer throughout the day without feeling "pasty" or thick.
Pro-Tip: If you are using the Cos De BAHA Azelaic Acid 10 Serum to treat redness, this "Aqua-Fresh" version is the perfect partner. The Panthenol (B5) in the sunscreen works in tandem with the Azelaic Acid to significantly reduce facial flushing and keep the skin's temperature cool.
