Double Defense Sunblock 40ml (Dr.Different)
Korean consumers rated it like this!!
Living in Korea, we experience all four seasons, and this sunscreen holds up incredibly well.
During the hot and humid Korean summers, it's surprisingly non-greasy. It doesn't feel heavy on the skin, even when the temperature soars. It blends in seamlessly, and I don't feel like I'm wearing a thick layer of product, which is a blessing in the humidity.
In the drier winter months, the Hyaluronic Acid in the formula really shines. It provides enough moisture to keep my skin from feeling tight or flaky, which can be a problem with other sunscreens during winter.
I've also noticed that it works well in the often-polluted air of Seoul. Knowing it has ingredients that help protect against environmental damage gives me peace of mind when I'm out and about.
It layers beautifully under makeup, which is essential for my daily routine here. Whether I'm wearing a full face of foundation or just a light BB cream, it never causes pilling or separation.
The 'Double Defense' aspect really resonates with the need for robust sun protection in Korea, where UV rays can be quite strong, especially during spring and summer. It feels like it provides a reliable shield.
Overall, it's a fantastic year-round sunscreen that adapts to the changing Korean climate and environmental conditions. It's become a staple in my Korean skincare routine.
Products that go well together
This sunscreen is pretty versatile, but I've found it pairs exceptionally well with a few other types of products to really boost its benefits.
First, for a truly comprehensive skincare routine, I love using it after a hydrating serum or essence. Products with ingredients like Ceramides or more Hyaluronic Acid really amp up the moisture, making the sunscreen feel even more comfortable and beneficial.
If you're looking to address specific concerns like hyperpigmentation or dullness, using a Vitamin C serum before this sunscreen can be a game-changer. The Vitamin C helps brighten, and the sunscreen protects that newly brightened skin.
For makeup wearers, this sunscreen creates a fantastic base. It works wonderfully with hydrating primers or foundations. I've noticed that it helps my makeup last longer and look smoother, especially when I use a dewy finish foundation.
On the flip side, if you tend to get a bit shiny, pairing it with a mattifying primer in your T-zone can help keep oiliness at bay without compromising the sunscreen's protection.
And for those really intense sun days or if you're spending a lot of time outdoors, reapplying is key. I find it layers well over a light mist of hydrating facial spray, which helps refresh the skin and makes reapplication easier without disturbing makeup too much.
