🇰🇷 The Buzz: The "National Treasure" SPF

You need to know this! Right now in Korea, Round Lab Birch Juice Moisturizing Sunscreen is treated like a “national treasure” SPF at Olive Young. It’s consistently topping must-buy lists as the go-to daily sun cream for both locals and tourists alike.

Why the hype? It feels exactly like a lightweight lotion—no sticky film, no white cast. It delivers that signature soft, hydrated glow under makeup, fitting perfectly with the “no-makeup makeup” Korean base look that everyone is craving right now.

🧪 Ingredient Spotlight: The Derm-Grade Duo

Hero Ingredient: Exosome + PDRN (clinic-inspired glow)

Global skincare lovers are currently obsessed with achieving “Korean clinic results at home.” This combo is the secret to barrier repair and revitalizing dull, tired skin.

  • Exosomes: Help with skin renewal and barrier recovery by supporting cell-to-cell communication.

  • PDRN: A gentle regeneration active that calms and repairs without the harsh irritation of traditional anti-aging ingredients.

It’s the perfect match for sensitive, barrier-damaged skin types who want that "Glass skin, but smarter" vibe.

🛍️ Best Seller Discovery: The "Everyday Glow" Staple

Today’s discovery: Round Lab Birch Juice Moisturizing Sunscreen.

This product keeps showing up on “Top 10 Olive Young Best Sellers” for a reason. It’s praised for its dewy-but-not-greasy finish.

  • Texture vibes: Milky, watery-lotion feel.

  • The Result: Seamless layering under foundation or cushion without pilling. It’s the staple for that “Korean office glow” rather than a heavy, beach-only SPF. It’s perfect for “Cloud Skin” or “Butter Skin” routines where you want bouncy, hydrated skin that still looks like skin.

💡 Local Secret Tip: The "Commuter Glow" Hack

Korean beauty enthusiasts use a specific how-to to get that flawless finish:

  1. Skip the heavy cream: Use this "lotion-like" sunscreen as your final glow layer. After toner/serum, apply just a thin layer of moisturizer (if you're dry), then go in with two full fingers of sunscreen.

  2. The Wait: Let it sit for 5–10 minutes before applying your cushion or foundation. This prevents pilling and creates a naturally blurred base.

  3. Natural Highlight: For that extra "Korean commuter glow," tap a tiny bit more SPF on the high points of your face (cheekbones, nose bridge) instead of a highlighter. It gives a subtle, skincare-born shine rather than a glittery, artificial glow.
