Beauty of Joseon
Higher editor rating (9 vs 8.8)
Re'equil
Re'equil is what happens when Indian dermatology meets direct-to-consumer simplicity. Ultra Matte Sunscreen SPF 50 is the cult hero — a genuinely-mattifying, no-white-cast, Nykaa-bestseller SPF that lives on the shelf of anyone in India under 35 who takes skincare seriously.
Pros
- ✓ Ultra Matte Sunscreen is the oily-skin benchmark in India
- ✓ clinically-tested claims
- ✓ Indian-skin tested
- ✓ affordable mid-tier pricing
Cons
- ✗ packaging is minimal but utilitarian
- ✗ limited international shipping
- ✗ narrow but deep product range
Beauty of Joseon
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.
Pros
- ✓ Exceptional price-to-performance ratio
- ✓ Relief Sun SPF 50+ is a standout product
- ✓ Hanbang ingredients backed by real formulation
- ✓ Elegant textures despite budget pricing
Cons
- ✗ Limited product range compared to larger brands
