Cons

Check out these commonly reported negative reviews of the Beauty of Joseon Relief Sunscreen. 

1) Need to reapply multiple times

Beauty of Joseon Relief Sunscreen is not waterproof and sweatproof. This means you need to reply again and again in summer and humid weather. Not a good choice for monsoon, either. It takes time to settle in, and during that time if you touch the face, change clothes, or apply makeup, it comes off easily. Because of it, you’ll run out of the tube quickly and need to purchase it more frequently.

2) Leave white cast on dark/tanned skin

It leaves a white cast on dark, brown, or tanned skin. However, that white cast remains visible for initial 10-15 minutes only. It doesn’t show a white cast for tighter skin tones.

3) May not suit extra sensitive or acne-prone skin

There are mixed reviews on this.
