Korean and Japanese Sunscreens: Lightweight Textures, High Protection and Skincare Benefits in One

Korean and Japanese sunscreens are among the most popular in the world. They offer reliable sun protection, exceptionally lightweight textures, and often include skincare ingredients that hydrate and soothe the skin. This makes them ideal not only for holidays, but also for everyday use.


Why Asian sunscreens are so loved

1) Lightweight, comfortable formulas

These sunscreens feel more like a gel, lotion, or serum than a traditional SPF. They absorb quickly, don’t leave a greasy layer, and don’t create a white cast.

2) Strong and stable protection

In Korea and Japan, SPF is a daily essential, so sunscreens are formulated to provide high UVA and UVB protection while remaining comfortable for all-day wear.

3) Perfect under makeup

Because they absorb smoothly and don’t pill, Asian sunscreens work beautifully as a base under makeup.

4) Packed with skincare ingredients

Common additions include:

  • hyaluronic acid for hydration

  • ceramides for barrier support

  • panthenol and plant extracts for soothing

This means your SPF can also act as a hydrating or calming day cream.


Types of Asian sunscreens you'll commonly find

1) Sunscreens with modern UV filters

This is the most common type in Korea and Japan. These formulas are extremely comfortable, absorb quickly, and are virtually invisible on the skin. Great for everyday use and perfect under makeup.

2) Mineral sunscreens

Made with zinc oxide or titanium dioxide, they provide protection immediately after application. Modern Asian mineral sunscreens are much more refined than older, heavier formulas and are suitable even for sensitive skin.

3) Hybrid sunscreens

They combine both mineral and modern UV filters, offering high protection, good tolerability, and a pleasant texture.

4) Gel and water-based sunscreens

Ultra-light formulas that feel refreshing and are ideal for oily or combination skin. They absorb quickly and don’t leave shine.


Who Korean and Japanese sunscreens are ideal for

  • Anyone who prefers lightweight, non-greasy SPF

  • Daily SPF users, especially under makeup

  • Sensitive or reactive skin types

  • Fans of hydrating, fast-absorbing textures

  • Anyone who wants protection and skincare in one step
