Hi, Lykkers! Can we all agree that the hardest skincare product to stay consistent with is sunscreen? I used to buy one after another, hoping I'd finally find "the one." Some felt too greasy, others left my skin looking dull, and a few just didn't sit well under makeup.

After plenty of trial and error, these are the two that I keep coming back to because wearing them never feels like a chore.

1. Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun: Rice + Probiotics SPF50+ PA++++

This is the sunscreen I instinctively reach for when I'm getting ready in the morning. The texture is smooth and creamy, but once I spread it across my skin, it feels surprisingly light. One thing I noticed right away is how well it fits into my routine. I can apply it after my moisturizer, put on my makeup a few minutes later, and everything still looks fresh. My base doesn't pill, and my skin keeps that healthy-looking glow instead of becoming overly shiny.

I also like that I never feel tempted to skip it. It doesn't leave my skin feeling heavy, so reapplying during the day feels much easier than I expected. That's probably the biggest reason it has stayed in my collection for so long.

2. AXIS-Y Complete No-Stress Physical Sunscreen SPF50+ PA++++

I usually reach for this one when my skin isn't having its best day. Whenever it feels a little more sensitive than usual, this formula gives me a sense of comfort from the moment I apply it. Compared with the Beauty of Joseon sunscreen, this one has a slightly creamier consistency, but after giving it a little time to settle, my skin looks natural and comfortable. I actually enjoy the finish because it doesn't make my face look overly dewy.

This has become one of those products I appreciate more every time I use it. It's simple, dependable, and fits perfectly into those days when I want my skincare routine to feel gentle from start to finish.

Honestly, it depends on the day. If I'm wearing makeup or heading to work, I almost always choose Beauty of Joseon because it layers so effortlessly with the rest of my routine. If my skin feels like it needs a quieter day with fewer surprises, AXIS-Y is the one I naturally pick. It gives me that comfortable feeling I look for without making my routine complicated. I don't think I could choose a winner because they've earned their place for completely different reasons.
