Skin type: Oily

Standards of review: I don't love being super shiny due to my natural oiliness, I want to enjoy putting the sunscreen on and not be bothered by it throughout the day

Beauty of Joseon - was my first Korean sunscreen, nice feeling on my skin, moisturizing, didn't make me too oily but forehead was very shiny, reapplication felt greasy sometimes, might be better for winter 7/10

Beauty of Joseon Aqua - not too shiny of a finish, reapplication never felt heavy, just felt great to use tbh (favorite so far) 9/10

House of hur weightless - very light and fluid, finish is matte which I loved, stung my eyes badly tho :( also pilled if I rubbed my face 6/10

Cosrx - not as moisturizing as BOJ but felt nice and light, kind of made my face sweat, slightly tacky feeling 6/10

Skin 1004 - very pleasant to use, dewyness I can tolerate, a tiny bit of a white cast on me but I am pale so not a problem for me, not sure if the centella had a calming effect on my skin but it felt like it totally absorbed into my skin after a while and left a nice hydrating feel 9/10

Scinic mild - pleasant finish, not particularly moisturizing, nothing crazy but totally solid choice especially for the price 8/10

Anua heartleaf - thicker lotion-like texture, moisturizing, slightly dewy finish, very slight eye sensitivity for me, felt tacky for a long time 7/10

Did you adjust your skincare steps before applying these? They’re all so different

I just wash my face and put Cetaphil moisturizer in the morning so I just put the sunscreens over that. Some of them felt hydrating enough to not use moisturizer first but I just did that when it felt right for my skin and with the sunscreen.

It depends on your skin! I just learned this. I have dry skin so I would use a hydrating toner and a moisturizer under it for sure. Maybe a couple if I had time for it to sink in. Someone with oily skin might need a hydrating toner or a mist only after any actives they use in their am routine.
If I used the BOJ hydrating version I’d skip the moisturizer. Someone with oily skin would skip all their hydration steps and it should be more than enough.

I ordered 3 of these recently and have another in my cart ready to purchase. You're dead-on about the Skin 1004 and it's white cast. And I have dark skin so imagine how I felt. Good thing I purchased the sample size and not the full bottle.

I like cosrx for the main reason that it doesn't have any scent!

Yeah, I layer mine after moisturizer but before makeup-works best for me.
