Our Pick
Purito
Higher editor rating (7.5 vs 7)
Purito
Purito had a rough public moment when their original sunscreen was found to have lower SPF than claimed. To their credit, they pulled the product, reformulated, and came back with improved transparency. The current Centella line is genuinely good — particularly for sensitive skin. A brand that earned respect by owning a mistake.
Pros
- ✓ Centella formulations are excellent
- ✓ Fully transparent about ingredients and concentrations
- ✓ Learned from SPF controversy and improved
- ✓ Truly unscented options
Cons
- ✗ Still rebuilding trust after SPF incident
- ✗ Small product range
- ✗ Some products lack the punch of competitors
- ✗ Not widely available in physical retail
Innisfree
Innisfree rode the 'natural' beauty wave to massive commercial success, but the formulations are sometimes better at marketing than at skincare. The Green Tea Seed line is competent, and the volcanic clay masks are genuinely good. Overall, a solid mid-range brand that occasionally overcharges for the Jeju Island story.
Pros
- ✓ Green Tea Seed line is a reliable antioxidant range
- ✓ Volcanic clay products are genuinely effective
- ✓ Pleasant textures and scents
- ✓ Wide product range for every step
Cons
