Product details

Protect + hydrate

A sheer, serum-light SPF50 PA++++ that disappears into skin with no white cast.

COSRX’s everyday chemical sunscreen gives broad-spectrum protection in a texture closer to a hydrating serum than a cream. Aloe water leads the list, with witch hazel, niacinamide and hyaluronic acid to soothe and hydrate while you’re out in the sun.

What’s inside

The ingredients doing the work

  • Chemical UV filters

    Four filters that together cover UVA and UVB, for SPF50 PA++++ that goes on clear instead of white.

    No. 5, 6, 8, 9 of 28 on the list

  • Aloe + witch hazel

    Two plant waters that hydrate and soothe sun-exposed skin.

    No. 1, 14 of 28 on the list

  • Niacinamide

    Helps keep oil in check and guards against UV-triggered dark spots.

    No. 7 of 28 on the list

  • Vitamin E + hyaluronic acid

    An antioxidant for extra defense, plus a hydrator to ease dryness from time in the sun.

    No. 23, 24 of 28 on the list

How to use

The last step every morning

  1. 1

    Prep

    Finish your usual morning skincare and let your moisturizer settle.

  2. 2

    Dispense

    Squeeze out a generous amount. Skimping lowers the protection you get.

  3. 3

    Spread

    Smooth it evenly over face and neck. It sinks in fast with no white cast or greasiness.

  4. 4

    Reapply

    Top up through the day when you’re outdoors. It stays light and non-sticky when layered again.

Protection you can’t see
