Metic Beauty

Korean Sunscreens for Sensitive Skin

Korean sunscreens are known for light, white-cast-free textures and modern UV filters that are not yet approved in the US. SPF50+ PA++++ is the standard; the difference between them is finish and feel.

For sensitive skin, short ingredient lists and soothing actives such as centella and panthenol matter more than strong treatments. Patch test anything new. These are the sunscreens whose brands recommend them for sensitive skin.
