{"product_id":"cosrx-vitamin-e-vitalizing-sunscreen-1","title":"COSRX Vitamin E Vitalizing Sunscreen","description":"\u003cp\u003eA high-protection daily sunscreen built on a fully chemical (organic) filter system, which is what allows it to disappear completely into the skin with no white cast — the single most common reason people abandon sunscreen. Four complementary UV filters deliver broad-spectrum SPF 50+ PA++++ protection, the highest UVA rating available, while vitamin E works underneath as an antioxidant to address the free-radical damage that UV filters alone cannot block.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe texture is the reason this one sells. A lightweight, silicone-cushioned lotion that blurs the look of pores as it sets and leaves a smooth, semi-dewy finish rather than the greasy film associated with high-SPF formulas. It sits under makeup without pilling and works equally well as a standalone morning step.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUnderstanding the rating:\u003c\/strong\u003e SPF 50+ refers to UVB protection — the radiation responsible for burning. PA++++ refers to UVA protection — the longer wavelengths responsible for photoageing, loss of elasticity and pigmentation, and the ones that penetrate cloud cover and window glass year-round. PA++++ is the maximum grade in the Asian rating system. If you are using actives such as retinol, vitamin C or exfoliating acids, this level of UVA protection is not a luxury; it is what makes those actives worth using at all.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey ingredients\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eButyl methoxydibenzoylmethane (avobenzone)\u003c\/strong\u003e — the primary UVA filter, covering the long wavelengths most associated with premature ageing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOctocrylene\u003c\/strong\u003e — a UVB filter that also photostabilises avobenzone, keeping the UVA protection effective over the wear period rather than degrading within the first hour.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHomosalate and ethylhexyl salicylate\u003c\/strong\u003e — UVB filters that also improve the cosmetic elegance of the formula, contributing to the light, non-tacky feel.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTocopherol (vitamin E)\u003c\/strong\u003e — the skin's principal fat-soluble antioxidant.

This is the most important line on this page — clinical SPF ratings are measured at 2 mg per square centimetre, and most people apply between a quarter and a half of that, which reduces a SPF 50 to an effective SPF 10 to 20.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDot across the forehead, cheeks, nose, chin and jawline, then spread evenly.

If you are actively managing fungal acne (malassezia folliculitis) or have a known fragrance sensitivity, a fragrance-free mineral alternative may suit you better — we stock several. This is not a water-resistant formula and is not intended as a beach or sport sunscreen; for prolonged water exposure choose a dedicated water-resistant product. For external use only. Avoid direct contact with the eyes; chemical filters can sting if they migrate, so keep application slightly away from the lash line. Discontinue use if irritation develops. Store below 25°C and away from direct sunlight — heat degrades UV filters and shortens the usable life of any sunscreen. Replace 12 months after opening. Keep out of reach of children.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"COSRX","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53489023811850,"sku":null,"price":21.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0870\/3380\/7114\/files\/Cosrx_VitaminEVitalizingSunscreenSPF50PA__Photo1.webp?v=1786026366","url":"https:\/\/yunji.nl\/products\/cosrx-vitamin-e-vitalizing-sunscreen-1","provider":"Yunji Korean Skincare","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
