The Superiority of Korean Sunscreen and What "PA+++" Means

Korean skincare has taken the beauty world by storm, grabbing the attention of skincare lovers everywhere. One standout product that has captured interest is Korean sunscreen. While many see sunscreen as just a protective layer against harmful UV rays, Korean sunscreen elevates this vital step in skincare. It's not just about protection; it's about enhancing skin health. Here we will explore the reasons for the popularity of Korean sunscreen, spotlighting the features that set it apart from traditional, or western options.


Innovative Formulations


Korean sunscreen is known for its innovative formulations. Have you been turned off from wearing sunscreen by all the others you've tried? Has SPF caused you issues in the past such as giving a white cast, feeling too thick, sticky, chalky, greasy; causing breakouts, pilling or not providing a great base for makeup?


Korean sunscreen prioritizes lightweight textures and fast-absorbing formulas, transforming sunscreen from a chore into a pleasure. For instance, Pfect-A offers a serum elixir type of sunscreen which goes invisible almost instantly on the skin. With ultra lightweight, yet hydrating, nourishing & providing anti-aging properties, Pfect-A Solar Elixir Serum Sunscreen is a top favorite choice, and goes beautifully under makeup.


KrX has developed a Tinted SPF which can actually replace makeup, foundations and BB Creams for a lightweight skincare product providing a real life skin filter effect, blurring the pores, hydrating the skin and leaving a glowing finish. It may also be used underneath foundations for additional coverage and a great base for makeup.


Korean sunscreens are oftentimes infused with skin-nourishing vitamins & peptides, and centella asiatica water and extracts, to help further nourish and hydrate the skin while providing sun protection. These formulations ensure that your skin not only looks good but feels good too.


Broad Spectrum Protection and PA+ Ratings


Another key feature of Korean sunscreens is their broad-spectrum protection against both UVA and UVB rays. While UVB rays are known for causing sunburn, UVA rays penetrate deeper and are linked to accelerated premature aging and skin damage. A study from the American Academy of Dermatology highlights that UVA rays account for 95% of the sun's rays that reach the Earth. Korean sunscreens recognize this and emphasize protection from both types of rays, helping maintain skin health over time.


Many Korean sunscreens come with PA ratings, indicating the level of UVA protection. For example, a product with a PA+++ rating signifies extremely high UVA protection.

PA+ can block 40-50% of UVA rays. PA++ sunscreen can block 60-70% of UVA rays and lasts for about 4-6 hours. PA+++ sunscreen provides great UVA protection, blocking up to 90% of UVA rays, and lasts for about 8-12 hours.


PA +++ ratings on sunscreens means they last longer without reapplying, however if you are active and sweating, or getting your skin wet, you should still reapply every two hours. For every day use though, this is ideal for lasting you all day without needing to reapply and mess up your makeup look or making your skin feel too heavy or overloaded with the product.


Lightweight and Comfortable


The lightweight formulations of these sunscreens encourages consistent daily application, critical for making progress with any and all skin concerns; a crucial part in every preventative and corrective skincare routine. When sunscreen feels enjoyable to apply, users are more likely to incorporate it into their everyday routine, reinforcing their skincare habits. Users frequently appreciate how these products feel like a second skin, allowing for comfortable wear throughout the day.


More Than Just an SPF


Furthermore, Korean beauty culture promotes viewing skincare as a form of self-care. With this mindset, using sunscreen is seen as not just a necessity but as part of a holistic approach to skincare and overall well-being.


Wrapping It Up


The popularity of Korean sunscreen stems from its innovative formulations, thorough and superior broad spectrum protection against all UV rays, lightweight and comfortable textures, and part of a holistic self care ritual. These attributes combine to create a product that is both effective and enjoyable to use. As more people look to elevate their skincare routines, Korean sunscreen shines as a leading choice. By focusing on efficacy and user experience, it deserves a spot in every skincare regimen.


With consistent application and proper care, anyone can achieve and maintain healthy, radiant skin. Discover the fantastic advantages of Korean sunscreen and enjoy the journey to beautiful skin.
