What the gurus are saying

This sunscreen hydrates deeply enough that some gurus skip moisturizer entirely afterwards, thanks to its 51% hydrolyzed collagen content and hyaluronic acid complex. Mad About Skin praises it as a complete skincare routine in one bottle, particularly for dry or maturing skin wanting to plump fine lines, and notes it can be switched for a mattifying formula in summer if needed. One sponsored reviewer mentioned the included retinol eye patches contain 0.1% retinol, the gentlest concentration, though they suggest using the product sparingly given its price point.

    "I mention this all the time. It's still my favorite and it just does everything I want it to do. [...] You've got everything in here to make a comprehensive skincare routine. You could cleanse the skin, put this on, and you would get great results. It's broadspectrum and I think this is great for [...] people that are prone to fine lines and wrinkles and want a sunscreen that won't grab onto them, won't sit in them and make them more noticeable. This plumps everything out."

    KOREAN SKINCARE SHOWDOWN - Best and Worst Korean Skincare 2025
    "One of my personal favorites is this. This is the K-Secret Collagen Boosting Secret Sun Lotion. Advanced technologies, new generation filters, a plethora of skin care benefits. This is sunscreen done right. And like I say, if you're feeling a little intimidated by Korean skincare, start with the sunscreen and build from there. Because I promise you, just one application of a good Korean sunscreen and you will be hooked."
    Top ANTI AGING KOREAN SKINCARE - Botox Alternatives For Anti Ageing
    "It does it all and it's also proven. [...] You're also getting SPF 50 plus with a really good UVA protection too, so this is ticking every box of a sunscreen. [...] When you put this on your skin it instantly hydrates it, instantly plumps it out, it disappears to nothingness so you don't know you're wearing anything. It's like a hug in a sunscreen. Your skin will look so glowy, juicy, plump and fabulous after it."
    ULTIMATE KOREAN SKINCARE - Next Level K-Skincare
    "This is almost an entire skincare routine in a bottle so for those of us that are looking to streamline, get out of the door in super quick time, cleanse the skin, maybe use your favorite toner, slap this on, you're protected, you haven't compromised in terms of your skincare routine and you're getting a whole lot more than just sun protection. This is what I mean by innovation. I can't think of any other Western brand that offers such a comprehensive formulation in a sunscreen as this one."
    End Of KOREAN SKINCARE ? - After The Korean Sunscreen Scandal
    "Not only do you get that guaranteed SPF 50 plus, they've released the testing so we know that's exactly what it's delivering, but you also get a range of different ingredients which are going to boost the anti-aging potential of your routine. So in here you've got some hydrolyzed collagen which is going to instantly plump and smooth, you've got a peptide complex which is fantastic for long-term anti-aging, some antioxidants in here, calming and soothing ingredients."
    Urgent KOREAN SUNSCREEN WARNING - Know What You Are Buying (Korean SPF)
    "This is one of my favorite sunscreens. This is the K-Secret Collagen Boosting Secret Sun Lotion. If you're buying this from any country of the world outside the US, you will get the new generation filters. You'll get the old style US compliant filters if you're shopping from within the US. This is a brand that's committed to that integrity and transparency."

    "You've got peptides in here, you've got collagen in here, you've got great filters to protect against the sun. Both of these gamechanging. At the moment because it's cooler my skin's a little drier, I tend to be going for this one which is the collagen boosting one. In summer I'll switch to the other one, which is why I've got it on hand just for when my skin needs to look a little less dewy and a little bit more matte. This is the one I'll go for. Both amazing."
    KOREAN SKINCARE AWARDS 2025 - Very Best Korean Skincare
    "This is the K-Secret Collagen Boosting Secret Sun Lotion. Unlike a lot of brands which have formulated versions which comply with the outdated US regulations in order to access that market, K-Secret said, 'No, we don't want to put garbage product out there. We only want the best.' They're putting the consumer first and only coming out with the very best products, and I applaud that. This is a 10 out of 10 product."

    MAJOR MOISTURIZER MISTAKES - Stop Doing This In Your Skincare Routine
    "One of my favorite sunscreens is this K-Secret Collagen Boosting Secret Sun Lotion. This is hydrating enough that if I use this on a morning I definitely don't need a moisturizer. My skin just doesn't need that level of hydration. This works and so you can save yourself a step, save yourself some of your coin, and prevent the skin feeling weighed down."
    Top 10 SUNSCREENS 2025 - Best Sunscreens For Anti Aging
    "This is basically a sunscreen and a skincare routine in a bottle. In here you've got your niacinamide, you've got your peptides, your hyaluronic acid, you've got some collagen boosting ingredients, you've got all of that great sun protection in that SPF 50 plus. It's doing it all. So if you're somebody that literally wants to wash your skin, throw on one product and walk out the door, this is that product. Sunscreen and skin care all in one."
    ADVANCED ANTI-AGING SKINCARE - Best Sunscreen For Winter
    "It's got some peptides in here for some additional skincare benefit and this is hands down one of the most hydrating sunscreens you will ever find. When this goes onto the skin, prepare to be shocked because it's slightly thicker than some other Korean sunscreens which is good because you need that extra hydration. It just locks it in that little bit more effectively. But look at that, gone without a trace. You can't feel it on the skin, you have no idea you're wearing it."
    NEXT LEVEL SUNSCREENS - Amazing Anti-Aging Skincare (re-upload)
    "This is one of my favorites so the reason this is special and next level is this is actually formulated with 51% hydrolyzed collagen. If you've been around on the channel for some time you'll know one of my favorite humectants is collagen, it's a super large molecule that just grabs on and retains all that moisture, plumps itself out and in doing so minimizes fine lines and wrinkles, give you a temporary plumpness and glow up to the skin, and this delivers it in bucket loads."
    ✓Yay
    "I love the way this hydrates my skin. I love the way it gives my skin the protection. We are going to be entering fall and winter, this is going to be ideal because you will literally use three products you will get your vitamin C, you will get your peptides, it is fabulous. Three steps and your morning routine is over, you are glowing to the gods."

    What the evidence says.

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

    Niacinamide

    Niacinamide has evidence behind it for redness, uneven tone and supporting the skin barrier, and it is usually well tolerated even by skin that reacts to most things.

    Humectants and emollients

    Ingredients like these draw water into the surface layers and slow how fast it leaves. The evidence is for comfort, softness and hydration rather than for changing the structure of the skin.
