It’s no surprise that so many people opted to skip it altogether. Here is where Korean come to the rescue. They have mastered the art of creating high-performance formulas that don’t feel like a compromise.

New-generation UV filters and ultra-fine mineral particles that blend effortlessly, ensuring protection without the telltale ghostly sheen.
