For those who have known the world of skincare for years, the phrase "PURITO's sun protection cream" probably sounds familiar to them, and not for the better.
3 years ago, an affair was revealed about Korean sunscreens that started with a very popular sunscreen from the PURITO company. Found out that their sunscreen that was supposed to be SPF50 is actually SPF18.
Following that, other famous Korean companies such as Klairs and KraveBeauty tested the SPF of their sunscreens and discovered that it was wrong. There was probably a problem in the laboratories that tested these indicators.
Of course the whole world was hysterical and people were very angry and rightfully so. I also used some of these sunscreens and it was very hard for me to hear that all this time I was not fully protected from the sun.
In any case, a few years have passed since then and the Koreans have learned and developed from it, and I'm happy to see that PURITO, who took it the hardest, are back with a new sunscreen.
This time the sunscreen passed tests in laboratories in Canada and PURITO also publish the documents on their website, so I trust these tests.
So the cream is SPF50 and PA++++, which means it provides good protection from both UVB and UVA.
It contains 3 new generation chemical UV filters and one more mineral (titanium dioxide). Sometimes it left a little white after several reapplications if I didn't absorb well, but mostly it doesn't leave a noticeable white cast. In addition to the UV filters, it contains several types of Centella asiatica extracts that can soothe and restore the skin and are also antioxidants. It does not contain alcohol / fragrance / essential oils.
Its texture is light creamy, in contact with the skin it breaks down quickly and is easily absorbed. It is very moisturizing and rich but also not heavy at all, and in my opinion perfect for dry skin in winter. In the summer it was not pleasant for me to renew it and even a little greasy, but I can already see myself plowing it in the winter.
It gives a little natural glow. Not water resistant.
It is sold on Korean websites. You can buy at Jolse / Belief / YesStyle.
Edit: It also arrived at iHerb! 🥳
The brand is cruelty-free 🐰❤️
