Korean sunscreen vs. Western sunscreen: The difference in UV protection
Sun protection – indispensable in every routine
UV rays are one of the biggest factors in skin aging. They cause dark spots, wrinkles, and stress the skin year-round—even in winter. That's why sunscreen is the most important step in any skincare routine. But while many Western products feel heavy and unpleasant, Korean cosmetics offer a completely new approach.
Korean sunscreen: light, nourishing and suitable for everyday use
In Korea, sunscreen is considered not just protection, but also care. Modern UV filters and feather-light textures ensure the creams spread easily and absorb quickly. No sticky feeling, no whitening – just noticeable freshness.
Additionally, many formulations contain hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, or green tea, which strengthen the skin barrier and provide moisture. This makes sun protection a daily skincare step you'll enjoy.
Western sunscreen: Proven protection, often difficult to use in everyday life
In Europe and the US, sunscreen usually focuses on pure UV filters. Skincare benefits play a secondary role. The result: thicker textures that are often perceived as greasy or sticky. Mineral filters also often lead to visible whitening. As a result, many people only use sunscreen in the summer, often neglecting it in everyday life.
Korean vs. Western – what’s the difference?
The key difference lies in how they feel when worn. While Western sunscreens are often perceived as a burden, Korean products feel almost like moisturizers. They can be easily integrated into any routine, work even under makeup, and also impress with nourishing active ingredients.
