Missha mild essence sun milk review

Missha All Around Safe Block Mild Essence Sun Milk SPF 50 PA+++ ($14) is an affordable SPF option from Korea that will totally change the way you feel about applying sunscreen. I think we can all agree that SPF can sometimes be a chore since many formulas are very thick, greasy, and need adequate time to set before any other skincare or makeup is applied on top of them.

Many, many years ago I migrated towards Japanese sunscreen since I loved the quick to absorb gel textures. I realize most days I’m raving how great Japanese sunscreens are but I forget how many fantastic Korean ones are around as well.

One of those being Missha All Around Safe Block Mild Essence Sun Milk SPF 50 but it does have one major downfall.

Like many Japanese sunscreens Missha All Around Safe Block Mild Essence Sun Milk SPF 50 contains alcohol denat. Sh1t!

That’s the one thing about most Japanese and Korean SPF formulas that sucks! Alcohol! Alcohol in all formulas. Where’s there’s a gel or thin formula they’ll be alcohol in my experience. It’s what gives these products their quick absorbing texture. It sucks to say the least but it seems to be a necessary evil.

Alcohol does break down collagen and of course, it’s quite drying but I have to admit I can’t be convinced to not use Korean or Japanese sunscreens because of those facts. I just love the quick absorbing formulas way too much to quit them. They absorb fast, wear well under makeup, and offer high levels of sun protection.

Missha All Around Safe Block Mild Essence Sun Milk SPF 50 is a light, thin, runny milk SPF that absorbs super fast into skin. At first it is a bit greasy but within seconds it sets to a very smooth finish. I actually never felt dry using this even though alcohol is the second ingredient. It’s fragrance-free but does have a sting if you get it into your eyes so beware during application.

Yes, the alcohol stinks but I still love this one and I pleasantly hide my head in the sand about the alcohol content.

Oh well! I’m sure there’s at least one skincare product you’re loving that doesn’t contain the best ingredients in the world am I right!? Spill! What is it?
