Here's what our community thinks
Beauty of Joseon Matte Sun Stick: Mugwort + Camelia SPF 50 PA++++ 48 ingredients
I love this for secondary application. I don't feel confident in getting an even application with the stick alone, so I start with the BOJ Relief Sun in the morning and use the stick for reapplication during the day. I love the matte effect and how soft my skin feels. The small size slips easily into my purse. I'm obsessed with BOJ sunscreens!
Balances oily skin
My skin type is redness-prone, oily, and acne-prone.
The sunstick has a satin finish. It’s quite effective at absorbing facial oils that accumulate as the day progresses. I noticed less redness in my skin tone, likely from the mugwort and camelia.

My EXTREMELY sensitive skin (especially when it comes to sunscreen) loves this product! It does leave a slight white cast at first, but it fades quite quickly. The sunscreen stays put even when I sweat and it doesn't sting my eyes
It’s a really good sunscreen.
