What the gurus are saying

This sunscreen stands out for actually cooling the skin by about four degrees, backed by independent lab testing, which makes it particularly valuable for anyone prone to redness or heat sensitivity in summer. The formula feels impossibly lightweight and invisible on application, hydrating without any greasy finish, and contains a subtle green tint that gently color-corrects redness without being visible. Experts praise it across skin types, from oily and acne-prone to reactive and redness-prone, and note it pairs well with other treatments without causing irritation.

    "It's great. New generation sun protection. Great if you're looking to cool the skin. If you're somebody that gets very redness in summer, this is a great option because it contains ingredients that actually lower the temperature of the skin. Great at fading hyperpigmentation because increasing temperatures of the skin in summer can actually trigger hyperpigmentation. So if you're looking to counter that, this is a great product to do it with. And it does come off."

    "They put their testing out there so you know this is guaranteed SPF 50 plus, high UVA rating too. So it's tried, it's tested. If it wasn't for that testing I wouldn't believe this was actually the level of protection they're advertising. It's impossible how amazing this feels. If you're in the market for a Korean sunscreen, this is the only one I actually used from the Korean skincare market every single time I need extra hydration. This is it. I just love it."

    "If you like the Skin1004 one, try this out, honestly it's like next level good. Impossibly lightweight, so calming and soothing on the skin. It feels absolutely beautiful and like no other Korean sunscreen you've ever tried. I absolutely love it. You get a really precise applicator, which I think is great. It's artificial fragrance-free and you can keep it in the fridge for like the ultimate cooling. This is like a revelation, absolutely gorgeous on the skin."

    "It's got some cooling technology in here. If you're somebody that finds that as we've gotten older our skin becomes more redness prone, we become prone to flushing, and we want to take down that temperature of the skin a little bit, this works. I tested it and it can reduce the temperature of skin by up to 4 degrees, and it doesn't do it with menthol which is bad for the skin. [...] It does it with really advanced technology."

    "This is the Numbuzin No.3 Pure-full Calming Water Sunscreen SPF 50+, and it has a PPD rating of 21, which is a really good score. Look for something 19 or higher on that PPD rating to make sure you're getting really effective UVA coverage. It's calming, it's soothing, it'll prevent premature aging, and it's just a really really impossibly lightweight sunscreen that I love."

    "I personally love this product and like I said last year it was my favorite Korean sunscreen but at the moment I'm just finding I enjoy this which is the Numbuzin No.3 Pure-full Calming Water Sunscreen that little bit more.

    "This is a great option for people that are looking for that calming and cooling sensation. I absolutely love it because it's got a slight greenish tint to it, [...] which means it'll do a light color correction. So if you're somebody that is a little redness prone, this could be a real quick fix. For me it's the Holy Grail, particularly in those warmer summer months."

    "This is honestly one of the best sunscreens I've ever discovered. It disappears without a trace. It is so so calming and they actually did some tests on this to show that it actually reduces the temperature of the skin, which is great because if your skin is hot, it's flustered, it's more likely to incur inflammation, hyperpigmentation. We need to just keep things calm in summer. This actually does reduce the temperature of the skin by about four degrees in those tests, which is pretty good."

    "This is the lightest weight sunscreen you will ever use. So if you or someone in your life absolutely hates using sunscreen because it's always weighty, it always weighs down the skin, feels greasy and tacky, switch to this. The best thing about this is the technology in here which actually cools the skin down. This is great if you've got rosacea or redness prone skin, and I think that technology, that innovation, is what really makes Numbuzin a standout brand. This is the best of the best."

    "So if you're someone that gets hot, flustered, redness prone, your rosacea flares in summer, any of that, this could be a great option. And don't forget, if our skin is hot it's going to be more likely to hyperpigment, so keeping it calm, cool and in equilibrium is great for preventing hyperpigmentation. This is a great product. I loved it so much I included it in its own separate video, which I would recommend everyone check out. I do really, really love it."

    "I love this, I loved it in 2024, I still love it in 2025. And I think this is the best sunscreen if you have particularly redness or reactive prone skin. If you're somebody that as soon as you step out the door into the heat you feel that prickling, the redness takes over and you want something to calm everything down, this is a really great option. It does that in two ways. First and foremost it has some technology in here which actually cools the skin."

    "This is just the perfect midpoint. It sinks in, disappears without a trace, leaves behind just a beautiful amount of hydration but doesn't appear dewy in the slightest. It's perfection if you have a very oily, acne prone skin type. It won't break you out. It's got a great blend of different filters to give you that true universal protection. [...] This is also great if you've got rosacea, if you have very redness prone skin or your skin is prone to flushing."

    "It's hydrating, it comes and it actually reduces the temperature of the skin and is clinically proven to do that, so if someone suffers with redness or flushing this can really help. [...] This doesn't cause watering in the eye, it's not irritating, it's just super gentle and super effective. I never thought I would be able to beat the beauty of Joseon sunscreen, but this is actually better."

It also has 10 types of hyaluronic acid as well."
