FAQs

The general recommendation is about a quarter teaspoon (1.25ml) for the face and neck, most people apply far less than this, which significantly reduces the effective SPF. Korean sunscreen formulas are designed to be applied generously without feeling heavy, making it easier to reach the correct amount.

Korean sunscreens are widely regarded as some of the most advanced in the world. They tend to be lighter in texture, less white-cast prone, and more cosmetically elegant than traditional Australian formulas, making them far more wearable as a daily step. South Korea's regulatory environment allows for a wider range of UV filter technology, which enables better broad-spectrum protection with a more skin-friendly finish.

Dermatologists recommend SPF 50+ for daily use in Australia, given the country's high UV index. Korean sunscreens at SPF 50+ PA++++ (the highest UVA protection rating) provide excellent broad-spectrum coverage. Apply as the last step of your morning skincare routine, before makeup.

The PA (Protection Grade of UVA) rating system is used in Korean and Japanese sunscreens to indicate the level of UVA protection. PA++++ is the highest rating available, meaning very high UVA protection. UVA rays are responsible for ageing and long-term skin damage, so PA++++ is particularly important for daily wear in Australia.

Yes, this is one of the reasons Korean sunscreens are so popular. Most are formulated to sit smoothly under makeup, acting almost as a primer. Look for terms like "tone-up," "sebum control," or "dry finish" on the product if you want a matte base, or "dewy finish" if you prefer a glowing look beneath foundation.
