When it comes to Korean sunscreens, few products have made as much noise in recent years as the Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun Rice + Probiotics SPF50+ PA++++. Loved for its featherlight texture and skin-loving ingredients, this sunscreen has evolved from a local K-beauty favorite to a global best-seller, earning cult status across TikTok, Reddit, and major beauty editorials.
This blog dives into what makes it special, how to use it effectively, and why it continues to trend in 2025 — helping you understand why this product deserves a permanent spot in your skincare routine.
If you’ve been on any K-Beauty forum or skincare subreddit lately, chances are you’ve seen countless recommendations for the Relief Sun Rice + Probiotics SPF50+ PA++++. What’s behind the hype? It’s the way this formula bridges powerful UV protection with calming, nourishing care for your skin barrier.
At its core, this sunscreen combines rice extract with probiotics derived from fermented grains — two ingredients deeply rooted in traditional Korean skincare. Rice extract is known for its brightening and hydrating benefits, while probiotics support the skin’s microbiome, keeping it balanced and resilient.
This unique blend means that while you’re shielding your skin from UVA and UVB rays, you’re also feeding it essential nutrients to keep it calm, smooth, and radiant.
One of the biggest reasons this sunscreen has gone viral worldwide is its texture. Many users describe the Relief Sun as “a moisturizer that happens to have SPF.” It absorbs quickly, leaves no sticky residue, and gives a subtle dewy glow — the kind of healthy sheen that’s become a K-beauty signature.
No chalkiness, no white cast, no heaviness. This is especially rare for high-protection sunscreens rated SPF50+ and PA++++. It layers beautifully under makeup, making it ideal for both morning routines and midday reapplication.
In influencer reviews and editorial mentions, this formula is praised for being a true game-changer. It’s been called the “TikTok viral sunscreen” and featured on countless “Best Korean Sunscreen” lists by beauty magazines.
There’s more to the current buzz than just good reviews. Beauty of Joseon as a brand has become a global phenomenon, blending traditional Korean ingredients with modern skincare science. The Relief Sun Rice + Probiotics is often highlighted as the crown jewel of their line — a product that perfectly captures the brand’s balance of heritage and innovation.
Major publications have pointed out how this sunscreen has redefined expectations for daily SPF use, showing that protection can feel luxurious, not clinical. Meanwhile, TikTok and YouTube creators have amplified the product’s reach, demonstrating its glow-enhancing finish and skin-comforting formula.
Even with changes in sunscreen regulations in some countries, fans have gone to great lengths to restock their favorite bottle, underscoring just how strong the product’s reputation has become.
Unlike traditional sunscreens that focus only on defense, Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun Rice + Probiotics works on long-term skin health.
Rice extract helps even out skin tone and improve dullness caused by sun exposure.
Probiotics and fermented grain extracts nourish the microbiome, supporting smoother, calmer skin.
Vitamin-rich formulation (including B, C, and E) delivers antioxidant protection to prevent premature aging.
Its hydrating base helps the skin maintain elasticity throughout the day.
The result is skin that not only stays safe from UV rays but also looks and feels better over time.
Apply as the final step of your morning skincare routine.
Use about two finger-lengths of product to cover the entire face and neck.
Reapply every 2–3 hours if you’re outdoors or exposed to sunlight.
Because of its silky finish, you can easily layer it under makeup without pilling or greasiness.
The formula is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin, and can be used year-round for both humid and dry climates.
Dermatologists and beauty experts often highlight the Relief Sun Rice + Probiotics as a standout example of modern K-beauty innovation — proof that high SPF can be both protective and pleasurable to wear.
Consumers agree. Across beauty retailers, the product consistently maintains high ratings, often praised for being gentle, hydrating, and ideal for daily wear. It’s become the go-to SPF for anyone seeking a balance between sun protection and skincare benefits.
If you’ve struggled with sunscreens that feel heavy, greasy, or drying, Beauty of Joseon’s Relief Sun Rice + Probiotics SPF50+ PA++++ might just be your perfect match. It embodies what K-beauty does best — combining tradition, innovation, and a touch of self-care luxury.
In 2025, as skincare enthusiasts continue to prioritize barrier health and multitasking formulas, this sunscreen remains a top contender for anyone who values comfort and effectiveness.
Whether you’re building a minimalist routine or perfecting your 10-step K-beauty ritual, one thing’s certain: sun protection should never be skipped — and this formula makes it easier than ever to keep your skin happy and healthy every day.
I was lucky enough to test out this wonderful cream by Wellage. The Real Hyaluronic Cream 100 is so rich and emollient. It goes on so beautifully and soaked right into my skin. My skin remained hydrated throughout the entire day and looked so radiant and beautiful! There is no scent to this product which is a plus for me. I used this in the morning under my makeup and at night before bed. I am thrilled with the results on my very dry skin! Really loving this and have incorporated it into my skincare routine!
Just received my Iope vital serum cannot really comment if it helps my skin but the customer service is excellent will order from again
I have been using the Anua Heartleaf Quercetinol Deep Cleanser for two weeks and I think it's brilliant!
I don't have acne prone skin, but I do have a lot of redness and uneven tone. The first time I used this I was concerned it may be drying, but my skin felt very comfortable after using it, which was impressive because so many cleansers are drying for my skin. The smooth, creamy texture felt soft on my skin and the scent was earthy, which was pleasant.
It paired beautifully with my hemp seed cleansing balm for a double cleanse every night and even in the morning when I only used the Anua, my skin was visibly cleaner, as if I'd double cleansed. It really is a true deep cleanser. The redness on my face seems to have improved too, which were better results than I'd hoped for.
After the initial two weeks I used a hemp-based cleanser that I had just received and was excited to try. After two days I went straight back to the Anua deep cleanser because my skin was much happier with this new cleanser that I'll be continuing to use daily!
I really do highly recommend this!
It is a good product, it works great and helps reduce acne. I recommend it.

I am in my early 70's, up until recently I was never that careful with my skin. I did not realize you could do anything to make a true difference in your skin. In the US we don't take care of our skin like folks do in other countries, our loss. On a whim I purchased this product in the hopes I could do something good for my "age spots" on my hands and face. To my happy surprise, this worked! I keep one in my purse one in our master bath and one in my office on the main floor of our house, and apply it regularly. These little tubes are so convenient! My age spots are fading very nicely and I do look better. Am I younger or can I play the violin? NO, but my skin looks much better and that makes me feel good. Shipping was quick especially since it traveled half way around the globe, the price is reasonable, and customer service is very helpful. The box it was shipped in was a bit battered, but the products were well protected and arrived in perfect condition. I bought 2 -4 packs, and gave 3 away for friends to try, I like this stuff that much. I will be back for more and many other products as well. Very nice Company to deal with.
Love this set, I love how clean and dewy my skin looks and feels
The products are all lovely in this set. Very nice on the skin.
I have sensitiv skin, and the this has been lifesaver! It's incredibly hydrating and has helped soothe and repair my skin barrier. The essence absorbs quickly, leaving it refreshed and moisturized. I've noticed a significant improvement in my skin's overall health and texture.highly recommend this essence to anyone with sensitive or dry skin!
It is my first time to try this brand but I like their light texture and fast absorption. Great for oily skin and Singapore weather.
The delivery was fast and no dents on the package.
