Next to Make p:rem and Derma B, some K-beauty brands that have released 90ml+ spf are APIEU, Illiyoon and Eunyul :) I feel that Kelly would definitely like the one from Illiyoon since it’s sensitive skin friendly!
@@melindagenitempo2359 I’ve tried that one on my body and honestly it’s great! The texture is awesome since it sinks into the skin fast and I don’t recall any white cast. The downside is that it has noticable artifical fragrance.
YAAAYYY!!! A NON water resistant sunscreen!!! No double oil cleanse necessary. This is a very big deal for me and I've often gone out briefly with a big hat and no sunscreen because I didn't want to have to do a double cleanse later. I've never understood why manufacturers think it's necessary for everything to be water resistant. I mean yes, if you're on the beach, in and out of a pool, outside doing something that's likely to make you sweat - in other words doing something where water resistance is necessary, then it's good. But how many of us in our daily lives, find ourselves in those situations? Most days you're outside when you go to and from work, you're doing some errands and walking back and forth to the car, situations in which sun exposure is relatively brief. So why do you need a water resistant sunscreen?? Why do manufacturers assume most of us have daily lives that require a water resistant sunscreen? It's just plain dumb. So please Kelly, find more sensible solutions for us. Thank you.
The Tocobo sunscreen pills super badly with so many of my skincare products and when I proceed to apply makeup & my makeup just balls up when I reapply it on top of makeup(not instantly but after an hour) Had high expectations! Goodal is definitely my favorite!
I find it's the physical/hybrid sunscreens that have any chance to pill. The zinc or titanium have to be coated in order to prevent clumping in a formula to have an even spread for higher SPF and when that coating is disrupted those ingredients will ball up. I love the Verdio UV Moisture gel (220g in pump bottle) but re-application is very likely to pill up on me. It's a great body sunscreen though.
Goodal has taken the spot as HG for me! Love that you've tried it. I can skip moisturiser when I use this sunscreen. It's so hydrating, and instantly helps calm my morning redness. It has a beautiful, radiant yet natural finish. Love it!
the mary & may sunscreen is a really interesting case because if you look at the inci list and compare it to the Beauty of Joseon, the vehicle of the formula and the filters are the exact same, and theyre both manufactured by Kolmar, i believe they both use the same Kolmar base formula and customize the actives/plant extracts to their liking, i also believe the roundlab birch sunscreen reformulation uses the same Kolmar base as well!
@@KellyDriscoll i agree!! i love the texture, in my experience the sunscreens with this base formula very slightly stings my eyes for like 30 seconds after i put it on but then subsides and also doesnt sting at all on reapplication, which i can live with since i really enjoy the texture
i have oily skin and personally im loving the tocobo sunscreen, it doesn't make my skin greasy like how the boj one make my skin(maybe bc of the isntree green tea toner is use beforehand) , the fragrance is not rlly pleasant but it goes away.
Glad I’m not the only one disliking BOJ sunscreen. The internet is overhyping and saying that it’s suitable for any skin type which is so wrong. Takes forever to rub in and made me look like a grease ball.
@@minanguyen3438 i think boj will be great for dry to combination dry, but for oily skin it gives too much dew, and in combination with the sebum that my face produces, it just makes me look disgusting 😂😂😂
Wow! Lots of brands I’ve never heard of! I just received an order of Canmake, Beauty of Joseon, and Isntree but I love adding new sunscreens I can consider especially as my skin becomes drier this winter. Thank you so much Kelly.
Tocobo is my current fave for everyday sunscreen. No eye sting, light weight with natural glow for my very oily skin. It doesn’t migrate/shift/travel even when I sweat so it’s really good cause I won’t have eye sting. COSRX’s Vit E sunscreen is what I am using this winter (here down under) cause it’s more occlusive than the other sunscreen BUT even when I don’t sweat, sunscreen travels to my eyes and stings the heck out of it ☹️ It gives a very glowy finish but tones down to glowy finish after sometime. I’ll most probably not gonna purchase this again :(
I have very sensitive diabetic skin. Even overlapping Rosacea riggers, and so far nothing has ever worked for me, let it be European, Korean or Japanese regardless of brand. Nothing worked and just broke me out, red inflamed skin, red bumps, hives, even cystic acne, which I previously never had, and I don't even have acne prone skin. Just got the Goodal Sunscreen recently plus their Vegan Rice Milk moisturizer, FINALLY something that works for me! And I had even given up on skincare...
All of them have fragrance or alcohol. Korean sunscreens are too hydrating for oily skin I think. Too heavy to reapply. Can’t wait for part 2! Thanks for your review, Kelly!
Hi Kelly. Informative as always. Just one suggestion - can you also point out the manufacturer of the sunscreen? It would be a factor of consideration tbh. Thanks.
I’m using mary n may currently and really enjoy it. My oily combi skin likes it even though it’s pretty moisturizing 😄 just need to top it off with powder and I’m good to go😁
I find it very interesting that Tocobo contains Mexoryl. Hmm...How did that come about?? I love these reviews! My sunscreen order is out for delivery but I already want to place another one 🤣
Hi Kelly these are new to me and this is the first review of these I have seen. Of all of them perhaps the goodall H cordata one is a maybe, but as someone who struggles with the old generation filters (rosacea and eczema) the cosrx is a definite no for me. i live in the UK and we have a ton of choices in spf's, so there isn't the same incentive to go to K beauty for a daily spf. I like mineral spf's for the cooler months as they're easier to tolerate with rosacea, but I do use a hybrid spf in the Summer (Ultrasun) for the enhanced protection. I just have to super careful with chemical spf's and many of the most hyped don't work for me at all eg I had a horrible reaction to the BofJ one everyone else is loving. Best wishes.
I have noticed with my skin type a lot of the Korean and Japanese sunscreens are not moisturizing. Sure they're hydrating but not moisturizing. I'm using the new Purito sunscreen right now but these prices are ridiculous for what you get.
You should try the aestura atobarrier hydro essence, cream and lotion. I find the lotion is like a nicer version of the illiyoon cream and lotion. The hydro essence has ceramides, cholesterol, fatty acids, squalane, amino acids, urea and other nmfs and I really want to try it.
I am currently using a chemical sunscreen from a brand called Eunyul: Eunyul Daily Care Light Sunscreen SPF 50+. I don't know if it is available in the US, but I think it's a good sunscreen, an in a 290ml bottle. Maybe you could look into this, and let us know your thoughts? Thanks, Kelly.
Great video. I think it would be really helpful if you could tell us the "layman's" name of the filters (ie. Tinosorb S. etc) for each one in part 2. Thanks!

Remember you are strong, you got this! never forget that! sending much love over towards all of you, May god or what ever you might believe in bless you the way you need it to! ♥️🌟
I got the CosRX one thinking that it is a *new* product but didn't notice the old filters. It's somewhat dewy and sticky but ok with a bit of powdering. What I'm really not loving is the deodorant scent. I'm putting this strictly on the face only and will use something else for the neck.
I'd try that Goodal, but I don't find any reason to try the other ones... Fragrance and old filters are not for me. Goodal's price seemed quite high on yesstyle🙄
Hi Kelly! I’m a new viewer. I’ve been enjoying learning from you! I’ve been a tomboy most of my life, but I’m interested in aging well. In recent years I’ve been reading about chemicals that cause die off of coral reefs, which means our human food supply is dying off. It’s not the only cause of die off, but it’s one an individual can easily address by not buying and using products that have these chemicals. I researched and all of these products reviewed today have one or more of these reef killing chemicals. Do you have any recommendations that are reef safe?
Check out Lab Muffin Beauty Science, she is a PhD and educates on things like this, she has a video dedicated to that and the bottom line is that sunscreens aren’t harming the reefs. All of her videos have scientific references.
Erin took the words out of my mouth! Please check out Lab Muffin, Michelle has so many resources that help us understand this issue a lot more deeply and give us the power to make informed purchases rather than fear based ones.
Hi Kelly, sorry, when I follow your link (Stylvana) for the Mary & May sunscreen, they have totally different ingredients, most importantly they have mineral filters instead of chemical ones. Can you please check again, which one is the true INCI list?
Never rely on Stylevana for updated ingredients, that is an outdated IL. They are notorious for incomplete or outdated ingredient lists. I come across this all the time when I'm researching and preparing my videos.
@@KellyDriscoll Thanks a lot for your reply! That is a very helpful advice for me :) I enjoy your videos so much and thanks to you, tried out k-beauty again. I was really skeptical about it in the first place. My family background is Asian, however, Asian beauty products are not well received. Nonetheless, I like a good combination of both western and k-beauty products now :) Have a nice evening!
I know it's really strange there isn't an abundance of them! I usually turn to European SPF's for water resistance. J-beauty has some options too, Suncut has a super waterproof spf that gets really good reviews.
Unfortunately most Korean sunscreen reviews does not excite me anymore as they are ALL very similar. None of them are really water resistant (not really practical in summer), and mostly dewy, slight diff in chemical filters, finish & texture between them. I would love to see something really different such as one that is truly water resistant or with other types of innovative active ingredients or diff application. Interesting sunscreens would be something like ISDN (dna repair + 40 min water resistant) also the Scinic sunscreen in the cushion packaging for easy reapplication and one that has matte finish and not glowy like 99% of the korean sunscreen.
There are many of us who do NOT want water resistant sunscreen, so we're very grateful to be able to find K and J Beauty products that don't have it. Most of the western sunscreens are water resistant, so there are many many options out there for you.
I reviewed their aqua soothing spf when it came out a few years ago and did not like it (irritating with essential oils). I haven't tried any othet spfs from them yet.
The cosrx new sunscreen it leaves very dewy finish on my skin and also sting my eyes, and somehow it's not dry up, just keep looking wet and move around (doesn't absorb) 😥😥
