Korean Sunscreen FAQs
Korean sunscreens are designed for everyday comfort. They use advanced UV filters and skin-loving ingredients to provide high protection without the greasy feel or heavy white cast often found in traditional sunscreens.
For your face and neck, apply about half a teaspoon - or two finger-lengths of product. This amount ensures you’re getting the full SPF protection listed on the label.
Yes. Sunscreen should be reapplied every 2–3 hours when outdoors. Stick sunscreens and lightweight gels make touch-ups easy without disturbing your makeup.
Gel sunscreens and airy, matte-finish formulas are ideal. They absorb quickly, control shine, and keep your skin protected without feeling heavy.
Some Korean sunscreens contain hydrating ingredients, but they don’t replace moisturizer. For the best results, apply sunscreen as the final step after your skincare routine in the morning.
Different countries have different regulations for how SPF ratings can be advertised online. To stay compliant with Australian rules and other regional laws, we don’t display the SPF numbers in our product listings.
Rest assured, every sunscreen we stock is an authentic, imported Korean product with its tested SPF rating clearly shown on the packaging you receive.
SPF regulations vary from country to country. In markets like the US and Australia, certain UV filters that are approved in Korea and Europe are not yet approved for sale.
To meet these requirements, some brands release separate formulas for different regions. That’s why you may see a US or AU version of a product alongside the original Korean formula.
At K-beauty Studio, we stock the authentic original Korean versions loved for their lightweight textures and innovative filters.
