Very protective sunscreen despite uneven distribution on the slide sample. Likely to translate to good protection even with thinner application layers.

Surprisingly bad results from an otherwise trusty brand. Pass on this specific product.

A terrible sunscreen which seems to increase the exposure to UV instead of block it.

Purito Seoul Wonder Releaf Centella Daily Sun SPF 50 sunscreen lotion (★★★★)

August 13, 2026August 13, 2026Leave a comment

The Purito brand may have a tainted reputation, but sometimes we like misfits and rebels. This is a strong sunscreen. Not the highest testing SPF 50, but solid.
