How to ACTUALLY Fix Dark Spots (Dermatologist No-BS Guide)

"Beauty of Joseon is a tinted sunscreen that has iron oxides in it to make it tinted and block visible light, which is really important [...] if you have melasma. That's a non-negotiable everyday apply your tinted sunscreen."

"Most of the days I've been testing it, it's worked and I've been happy with it, although there was one day where my skin was really pink from rosacea and it wasn't quite thick enough to cover the redness, but the rest of the days it's worked just fine and I haven't had any issues with it. I'm not exactly sure I'd say I like it more than the Dr. Jart, but it is much more affordable, [...] about half the price."

Beauty of Joseon 🆕 New! Fluid Tinted Mineral Sunscreen SPF 40 First Impressions Review

"It feels really nice, there's no pilling or anything going on. [...] The areas where I reapplied it on my forehead and nose bridge, there's no clumping or pilling or anything. There's no scent to it at all which feels nice. [...] So far it feels really nice. [...] This is made in Korea but it's mineral so we can sell it in the US. [...] It does have denatured alcohol in it pretty high up so if you have pretty dry skin or are sensitive to it keep that in mind."

Beauty of Joseon 🆕🌞 New! Daily Relief Sunscreen SPF 40 First Impressions Review & Demo

"It applies okay, it looks just fine, but honestly the UVA protection probably can't compare to hardly any of these. This one definitely feels greasier on my skin. The US version feels kind of greasy and shiny, it's very tacky, very tacky, and it's quite sticky. You kind of want to give it 15 minutes to soak in so that shouldn't be as big of an issue, but it's easier to apply foundation after it's set rather than just applying this, giving it 10 seconds, and applying foundation over it."

Beauty of Joseon New! Dayscreen Lightweight Tinted SPF 30 Mineral Sunscreen First Impressions Review

"The daily fluid sunscreen was another one I had trouble applying liberally enough. I feel like I can apply this new tinted sunscreen more liberally than that one because the fluid one was so fluid."

New Skincare From Isntree, Neogen, Klairs, and Beauty of Joseon First Impressions Trial

"I've been trying out this new tinted mineral daycream from Beauty of Joseon instead of my usual BB cream, and I actually ended up enjoying it. [...] As a sunscreen on its own it felt very thick, but applying it thinner like a foundation, [...] it worked out better, it made [...] me look a bit more pale [...] but it did even out my skin tone."

Morning Routine Feat. New Skincare from Iunik, Skin&Lab, Beauty of Joseon & More

"I've been enjoying the Beauty of Joseon daycream tinted moisturizer, it's 17% zinc oxide. Right now if I had to pick my favorite foundation products, this would probably be one of my top three, though they're not traditional foundations since they don't give as much coverage as [...] a normal foundation. [...] I would say this is definitely going to be iffy for oily skin unless you want to set it with powder."

"Technically it's a hybrid sunscreen because of the octinoxate, but it does not have a heavy cast. It does require a bit of effort to spread on the skin and there's some streakiness as you're putting it on at first, but relative to mineral sunscreens in general [...] the spread is not too bad. [...] I love the tint on this, I got the shade MP200 and it's worked out really well for me. I've worn it in many videos and was able to tolerate it around my eyes with no problem."

My Honest Review of the Beauty of Joseon Tinted Fluid SPF 40

"Overall, the Beauty of Joseon Daily Tinted Fluid Sunscreen SPF 40 is a great option if you're looking for a mineral leaning formula that spreads efficiently on the skin, dries down with a matte powdery finish, works well under makeup, and can offer some visible light protection to help with your goals around hyperpigmentation."

"It's a tinted zinc oxide containing sunscreen. Technically, it's a hybrid sunscreen because it has octyl salicylate in it, a SPF booster. [...] It does not have a heavy cast. It requires a bit of effort to spread on the skin and there's a bit of streakiness as you're putting it on in the beginning, but relative to mineral sunscreens in general, [...] the spread is not too bad. It's a thin fluid. I love the tint on this. It comes in 12 shades."

"This is the daily tinted fluid sunscreen by Beauty of Joseon. And this is actually available at Sephora. And this is using American filters. So it's got a benzone and homo salate, octaalate. It still blends really nicely because they're still applying that same philosophy around that experiential skincare that you get from any Korean brand. So still a phenomenal sunscreen. Maybe not as elegant, [...] but it's still really nice."

"You put this on and you look in the mirror and think, 'Yeah, it was giving distortion, white cast. It was giving like almost a blotchy appearance to the skin, too.' People hated how thick the formula was and you couldn't reapply on top of itself. So when it came to reapplication, people just said, 'Well, it wasn't possible.' Everything that could go wrong with the sunscreen launch went wrong with this product. [...] There was nothing good or salvageable from that launch."

"It really burned my face, which I wasn't happy about because I was so psyched about it. And it's also not water resistant. So this is a runny tinted liquid. It feels lovely going on like a lightweight oil or serum. It has a wet yet powdery feel to it. It blends well around hair and eyebrows. The finish is softly dewy but not shiny. The tint is a good match for me and it evens out my skin tone and looks really natural. I did put makeup on over this one."

"It's so lightweight it's practically water and it's so thin it's really quite beautiful. You can apply a lot and just not really notice it. This works beautifully under makeup or just on its own which is what I tend to do. I find there to be barely any coverage, just enough of a tint to mask a white cast. There are 12 shades of this which is really nice, and because of the blendability of it I can use like three of these shades and it would match me well."

"They found a good balance between the tints, the undertones, the sheerness, and the zinc. [...] I'm kind of leaning towards a six out of ten. I'm not over the moon about using this every single day because I am feeling some dryness. [...] Denatured alcohol and zinc oxide are two ingredients that have historically, time after time, made my skin feel dry and dehydrated. [...] The more I'm talking to you, the more I'm feeling it in my dry areas."

"Initial thoughts on this Beauty of Joseon product is that I like it. I don't think that everyone with a deeper skin tone might have the same kind of experience with it because some of those deeper shades did look quite ashy to me. I would love to see how it looks on someone with a deeper, richer skin tone because I feel like you really need to get deeper skin tones correct, but the richer the skin tone is the more correct you've got to be. [...] Overall I do like this."

"It wasn't really anything tinted at all. And it peels like crazy. There's no playing around with this. You have to put it on your skin, rub it in as little as possible, and then don't touch it. If you touch it, you're done. It clings to the dryness. I have very dry crevices and it was just clinging to them. I couldn't get it to work. I used primers, I used everything like extra hydration to try and get this to work around the area and it just didn't work."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Vitamin C

Topical vitamin C is an antioxidant with reasonable evidence for dullness and uneven tone. It breaks down in light and air, so how a product is formulated and packaged matters as much as the percentage on the front.

Sunscreen filters

Sun protection is the best evidenced way to slow visible ageing, and the filters are what does the work. Mineral and chemical filters both protect when a product is applied thickly enough and often enough, which is where most people fall short rather than on the choice of filter.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is an antioxidant, and it is often in a formula to keep the other ingredients stable rather than as the active itself. It pairs well with vitamin C, though on its own the evidence for visible change is limited.
