Aloe Soothing Sun Cream SPF50+

1. Double cleansing: start with a cleansing oil then a foaming cleanser to cleanse without stripping.
2. Apply your Korean toner to rebalance skin's pH before active treatments.
3. If you use an essence or a serum, this is the next step: from thinnest to thickest.
4. Apply your moisturizer if your skin needs it (optional for oily skin).
5. Finish your morning routine with COSRX Aloe Soothing Sun Cream SPF50+: apply generously to face and neck, pat until fully absorbed. Do not rinse. Reapply every 2 hours during direct sun exposure.
6. In the evening, do not use this sunscreen: replace it with your night cream or a mask.

Is COSRX Aloe Soothing Sun Cream suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes. Its formula, free from harsh synthetic fragrances and enriched with aloe vera, allantoin, and centella asiatica, is designed for skin that reacts to conventional sunscreens. It soothes while protecting and is non-comedogenic. Suitable for sensitive and reactive skin. We recommend testing it on the inside of your wrist before first use.

What is the difference between SPF50 and SPF50+ PA+++?

The SPF50+ measures protection against UVB rays (which cause sunburn). The PA+++ measures protection against long UVA rays, which are often overlooked and cause premature skin aging and dark spots. The PA+++ rating indicates "high" UVA protection according to the Japanese system. The SPF+PA combination shows the level of everyday protection.

Can you wear this sunscreen under makeup?

Yes, that is one of its strengths. Its lightweight, non-greasy texture absorbs quickly without leaving a white residue or oily film, making it an excellent makeup base. Wait 2 to 3 minutes after application before applying your foundation for the best finish.

What do people think of COSRX Aloe Soothing Sun Cream?

Customer reviews mainly highlight its lack of a white cast (a rare feature for an SPF50+), its pleasant texture on oily and combination skin, and its tolerance on sensitive skin. The main thing to keep in mind: it is not water-resistant and needs to be reapplied every 2 hours in direct sunlight or after sweating. Avoid it if you are looking for a sunscreen for sports or the beach.

Is COSRX Aloe Soothing Sun Cream compatible with niacinamide or retinol?

Yes. It contains niacinamide itself, so there are no incompatibilities. With retinol (which should only be used in the evening), sunscreen is precisely the essential morning step: retinol makes the skin more sensitive to UV rays, and this SPF50+ PA+++ is used in the morning. No special precautions are needed with common Korean skincare active ingredients (hyaluronic acid, centella, CICA).
