ANJO Professional 365 Sun BB Cream SPF50+ PA+++

A korean sun cream and a base in one tube: SPF50+ PA+++ against UVA and UVB, with a tint light enough to wear on its own or under foundation.

Two steps collapse into one, which is the whole argument. It is the difference between wearing sunscreen every day and wearing it when you remember, because a tinted sunscreen is a thing you put on to look like yourself rather than a chore you do first.

What is in it

Hyaluronic acid, shea butter and green tea extract are in the formula to hydrate and soften. That is why it works as a primer rather than sliding under whatever goes on top — a drier sunscreen is the usual reason a base breaks up by lunchtime.

The size of it

One shade, pitched at the middle of the range and sheer enough to adjust itself on most skin. If you wear a foundation darker than medium, treat it as a base rather than as coverage.

Good to know

Shake it before the first use of the day; the tint settles. Keep it off a radiator or a sunny sill, and finish it within a year of opening.

A sun bb cream is the shortcut for anyone who has given up on a separate SPF and a separate base. This is the one people repurchase, and the easiest korean skincare habit to start.
