The version for men who hate shine. It is oil free and made to absorb what your skin produces during the day, so it finishes matte rather than glossy. That makes it the sensible pick if the reason you gave up on sunscreen was looking greasy by lunchtime. It is a touch thicker than the Beauty of Joseon and sits less well in a beard, so the choice between the two comes down to whether your problem is shine or facial hair.
What it will not do
On dry skin it can look flat and emphasise flaking. And matte is not the same as invisible, on deeper skin tones check it in daylight first.
How to use it
Every morning as the last step. Two fingers worth for face and neck. Shake it, the formula separates.
Key ingredients
Broad spectrum filters at SPF 60 plus oil absorbing particles for the matte finish.
