Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun: Rice + Probiotics (SPF50 PA++++) 50ml

Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun: Rice + Probiotics is a creamy yet lightweight facial sunscreen that combines very high UV protection with moisturising skincare benefits.

The formula uses a blend of modern broad-spectrum UV filters to provide SPF50+ and PA++++ protection against UVA and UVB exposure. It absorbs quickly, feels more like a lightweight moisturiser than a traditional sunscreen and leaves the skin with a soft, dewy glow rather than a heavy or sticky finish.

Formulated with 30% rice extract, fermented grain extracts, niacinamide and glycerin, Relief Sun helps hydrate, soothe and support a more comfortable skin barrier. It is especially well suited to normal, dry, dehydrated, combination and sensitive skin, although oily skin may prefer the lighter Relief Sun Aqua-Fresh formula.

The sunscreen is alcohol-free, fragrance-free and non-comedogenic. Beauty of Joseon also reports a 24-hour moisture-holding effect and clinical testing showing that the formula is non-sensitising and suitable for sensitive skin.

Best for

Ideal if you want:

• Very high daily facial sun protection

• Additional hydration for dehydrated skin
• A dewy rather than matte finish
• A fragrance-free sunscreen for sensitive skin
• An SPF that layers beneath makeup

Consider another option if: your skin is very oily or you prefer a watery, weightless or matte sunscreen.

Relief Sun is also not presented as a water-resistant sunscreen, so choose a water-resistant SPF for swimming, intense exercise or heavy sweating.

Melas approved because…

It provides very high daily sun protection in a texture that feels closer to a comfortable moisturiser than a heavy traditional sunscreen.

The blend of rice extract, fermented grain ingredients, niacinamide and glycerin adds meaningful hydration, making the formula particularly useful for dry, dehydrated and sensitive skin.

Its fragrance-free and alcohol-free formula reduces unnecessary potential irritants, while clinical testing supports its suitability for sensitive skin.

The quick-absorbing, white-cast-free finish also makes it a strong option for deeper skin tones and for customers who struggle to find an everyday SPF that layers comfortably under makeup.
