We all need sunscreen to protect our skin from the dangerous UV rays of the sun that can cause premature wrinkles and skin cancer. But if you're having trouble choosing what kind of sunscreen to buy, we are going to give you reviews about five Korean products that might satisfy your needs. 

First, we have A'pieu Madecassoside Sun Cream that guarantees to smooth down and repair the skin with madecassoside and 40% Centella Asiatica extract, and at the same time protect it from the blazing heat of the sun with SPF 39 PA++. Also, it is composed of only physical sunscreens. It is tailored for every skin type, particularly dehydrated and sensitive ones.

A'pieu Sun Cream is available in tubes. Its content is very light and gets absorbed by the skin quickly. It also doesn't give a sticky or oily feeling but offers a somewhat citrusy scent.

Second is the Etude House Soon Jung Mild Defence Sun Cream that is designed for those with sensitive skin. Like A'pieu, this sun cream also has PA++ that promises higher protection against the sun. This product is better used when fall or winter than in summer as it may be too heavy during the latter, especially for those who have oily/combination skin as it may cause breakouts.

Etude House sun cream may not satisfy those who want a matte finish, but adding the slight transparent powder after the cream should do it.

The third is Simplistic Skin Care MUST Sun Cream, which is environmentally friendly as it is free from silicone, non-nano, and contains ingredients that are regarded safe by EWG (Environmental Working Group). Besides that, it consists of SPF33/PA ++ that will act as your skin's shield.

This brand's sun cream is velvety and seems tinted when pressed out of the tube. Since it is a mineral sunscreen, it will be slightly harder to spread the cream over an extensive area, so it is better to apply dots of it on your face. Moreover, it doesn't give a greasy feeling and doesn't affect the makeup.

The fourth item is Make P:rem UV Defense Me Blue Ray Sun Cream that is described as a hydrating 100% physical sunblock perfect for all skin types. It contains SPF 50+ and PA+++, zinc oxide, titanium dioxide, and Centella extract that not only protect the skin from the sun but also decreases its temperature. For best results, the cream must be applied 30 minutes before going outside.

This product leaves a somewhat matte finish but not dry at all, and it is easy to spread. Also, it doesn't leave a greasy or shiny surface.

The last one is MISSHA All Around Safe Block Sebum Zero Sun SPF50 + PA+++ that is contained with tea tree extract, antozone-roze, and thanaka (a type of tree bark), each having its role in protecting and soothing the skin. The cream can be quickly absorbed by the skin, leaving no white cast. This sunscreen guarantees a smooth, matte surface without dehydration the whole day even after running some errands.
