Top Korean Sunscreens for Every Skin Concern

At Mask Marie, we believe sunscreen should never feel like a chore. Instead, it should feel like an essential, skin-loving step you genuinely enjoy each day. That’s why our Korean sunscreen selection goes beyond simple UV protection — these formulas hydrate, calm, brighten, and wear beautifully under makeup.

If you’re not sure where to start, here’s a clear guide to help you choose the ideal sunscreen for your skin type, concerns, and lifestyle.

For Dry Skin

When your skin is prone to dryness, reach for sunscreens that nourish as they protect.

Lightweight, breathable formulas help control excess oil and prevent clogged pores.

Quick Reference Guide

How to Use for Best Results

Apply a generous, even layer — about a nickel-sized amount for the face and neck. Reapply every two to three hours if spending extended time outdoors. Use as the final step in your morning skincare routine and allow it to settle for a minute before applying makeup.
