Description
Relief Sun Aqua-Fresh: Rice + B5 takes the idea of the original Relief Sun and makes it lighter. It keeps high SPF50+ PA++++ protection but uses a fresher, more watery texture designed for people who find creamy sunscreens too rich.
Key ingredients
- Rice extract – Beauty of Joseon’s signature skin-softening ingredient.
- Panthenol (pro-vitamin B5) – a humectant that helps the skin feel hydrated and comfortable.
- Chemical UV filters – for high protection without a white cast.
Texture and finish
A light, almost gel-like fluid that sinks in quickly with a fresh feel and a more natural, less dewy finish than the original.
Who it suits
Oily and combination skin, people living in humid climates, summer use, and anyone who wants a sunscreen that disappears under makeup.
How to use it
AM: as the last skincare step, apply generously (about two finger-lengths for face and neck). Reapply every two hours when outdoors; the Matte Sun Stick is handy for touch-ups. PM: remove with a cleansing oil or balm, followed by a gentle cleanser such as Green Plum Refreshing Cleanser.
Who should skip it
Very dry skin may find it not nourishing enough on its own – choose the original Relief Sun or layer a moisturizer underneath. Avoid it if you react to chemical UV filters.
