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!

I apply the Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun: Rice + Probiotics sunscreen on my entire face and once that one gets absorbed I apply this one on the nose, forehead, and chin to reduce the shine/glow on those areas but leave the glow on the cheeks.
I think this combination is gold for me, specially for summer when I want a nice glow without looking oily :)
