Beauty of Joseon Relieving Aqua-Fresh Facial Sunscreen with Rice Extract & Vitamin B5 SPF50+ PA++++, 50ml

Beauty of Joseon's Aqua Fresh sunscreen carries SPF50+ with a PA++++ rating and a light, watery texture that sinks in without a white cast. The PA rating is worth understanding, because it is often overlooked. SPF measures protection against UVB, the rays that burn. PA measures protection against UVA, which penetrates deeper and drives most visible skin ageing. PA++++ is the highest grade in the Korean system.

A sunscreen with a high SPF but weak UVA protection leaves a real gap. This one covers both.
