Korean sunscreens SPF50+, in travel-size mini samples

Korean sunscreens are loved for one reason: they feel like skincare, not sunblock. But finish, cast and scent vary a lot between formulas, which makes sunscreen the single best product to try in a mini size first. Our 3–5ml sizes cover Beauty of Joseon, SKIN1004, haruharu wonder, Isntree, COSRX, Anua and more, all SPF50+.

Finding your daily K-beauty SPF

Dewy or matte, moist finish or weightless fluid, with or without a hint of cast: the only way to know is on your own face, in daylight, for a few days. A mini sample gets you that test for a few dollars, and the routine quiz can shortlist one for your skin type first.

Mini sunscreen FAQ

How many uses is a 3ml mini sample?

A proper face application is about half a millilitre, so 3ml is roughly 4–7 applications, enough to judge finish, wear and whether it stings your eyes.

Do mini sizes replace daily sunscreen?

They're for trialling and travel. Once you find your match, the full size is the better value for everyday use, which is exactly the point.
