Best Beauty of Joseon Products for Oily Skin
9 Beauty of Joseon picks that actually work on oily skin — ranked by editor rating, not by what the brand pushes hardest. Updated 2026.
Beauty of Joseon has quietly become one of the most impressive value propositions in K-beauty. Their Relief Sun is arguably the best budget sunscreen globally, and the Glow Serum delivers genuine results at a price that undercuts competitors by half. The hanbang angle could be gimmicky, but they back it with solid formulation science.

9/10 · sunscreenMatte Sun Stick: Mugwort + Camelia SPF50+ PA++++
The sunscreen that broke the internet for good reason. A genuinely matte SPF50+ PA++++ in stick format that you can reapply over makeup without destroying everything. The mugwort and camelia are nice touches but the real innovation is the texture — it controls oil for 4-5 hours and never feels greasy. Sold out repeatedly because it solves a real problem: easy, portable, matte sun protection. One of the best K-beauty products released in the last two years.

9/10 · sunscreenRelief Sun Rice + Probiotics SPF 50+
A genuinely elegant sunscreen at a price that makes premium options hard to justify. The rice extract base gives it a subtle brightening effect, the finish is convincingly non-greasy for most skin types, and the SPF 50+ PA++++ protection is solid. One of the best daily sunscreens in K-beauty right now.

8.4/10 · tonerGlow Replenishing Rice Milk
Beauty of Joseon's combination-skin toner — a dual-layer formula that separates a hydrating water-phase (rice extract, sodium hyaluronate, panthenol, ceramide) from a sebum-controlling powder phase (kaolin, microcrystalline cellulose, aluminum chlorohydrate, polymethyl methacrylate). Shake before use to mix the two. The eight-extract botanical pour (Coptis japonica, ulmus davidiana, amaranthus, ficus carica, centella, cocoa, glycyrrhizate) layers traditional Korean herbal hanbang with modern oil-control tech. 4.9★ from 1,400+ reviews on the brand site, $18 for 150ml positions it as the rare "glow without grease" toner that combination-skin users rebuy.

8/10 · serumCalming Serum: Green Tea + Panthenol
The quiet achiever in the Beauty of Joseon serum lineup. While the Glow and Revive serums get the attention, this green tea + panthenol formula is arguably the most universally useful. At 76% green tea extract, it delivers serious antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits. Panthenol strengthens the barrier. Together, they calm reactive skin without any heaviness or irritation. If your skin is stressed, this is the reset button.
