Real shoppers say

“I love beauty of joseon sunscreen so I was very excited to try the aqua fresh version of it and I love it! As always, it didn't leave a white cast, which is so important to me as a brown skin girlie. The formula of the aqua fresh feels a lot lighter than the original sunscreen formula, it's kinda semi matte vs the original being more dewy!”

“I like it, no white cast and it leaves a matte finish. My only issue is it leaves a bit of a film on the skin that can pill but otherwise it's great. No breakouts, stinging of the eyes or itchiness so I'm not too bothered by the pilling.”
