innisfree Daily UV Defense Face Sunscreen SPF 36 — Lightweight, Hydrating Invisible Finish, No White Cast

Innisfree Daily UV Defense SPF 36 is a lightweight Korean sunscreen lotion that shields skin from UVA and UVB rays while leaving an invisible, dewy finish with no white cast.

This daily sunscreen blends broad-spectrum SPF 36 protection with skin-supporting ingredients from Innisfree’s Jeju Island line. The formula absorbs quickly, layers smoothly under makeup and contains Green Tea, Cica and Sunflower Seed Oil to help hydrate, calm and nourish skin without heavy residue. It's formulated without oxybenzone and octinoxate and has been primary skin irritation tested, making it a practical choice for everyday protection that feels comfortable on a variety of skin types.

How does this sunscreen sit under makeup and on bare skin?

The texture is a light lotion that spreads evenly and becomes nearly undetectable after application. It’s designed to deliver a dewy, natural finish rather than a matte or powdery look, so makeup adheres well on top without pilling.

• Light, non-greasy lotion that absorbs quickly
• No visible white cast for most skin tones (86% reported no white cast in a home-use test)
• Works as a primer under foundation or worn alone for a fresh glow

What skin benefits do Green Tea, Cica and Sunflower Seed Oil provide?

Innisfree combines botanical ingredients to support skin comfort and moisture alongside sun protection. Green Tea and Cica are chosen for soothing and calming properties, while Sunflower Seed Oil adds lightweight nourishment to help maintain skin barrier feel.

• Green Tea: gentle hydration and antioxidant-rich support
• Cica: helps reduce visible irritation and calms redness
• Sunflower Seed Oil: provides non-greasy moisture and helps skin feel smooth

Is this sunscreen suitable for sensitive or reactive skin?

The formulation has undergone primary skin irritation testing and avoids common reef-harming filters oxybenzone and octinoxate. While many find it gentle, patch testing is recommended for those with very reactive skin or ingredient sensitivities.

• Primary skin irritation tested formula
• Free from oxybenzone and octinoxate
• Patch test first if you have known sensitivities

How should I use this product in my daily skincare routine?

Apply as the final step of your morning skincare before makeup. Reapply throughout the day if you’re spending prolonged time outdoors or after towel-drying or heavy sweating to maintain SPF coverage.

• Use liberally as the last skincare step each morning
• Blend evenly across face, ears and neck for full coverage
• Reapply every two hours if exposed to sun for extended periods

Who this is for: Innisfree Daily UV Defense SPF 36 is ideal for shoppers seeking a lightweight, cosmetically elegant Korean sunscreen with a luminous finish. It fits daily commuters, makeup wearers who want a non-pilling base, and anyone looking for a sunscreen that balances sun protection with soothing, hydrating botanicals. If you need very high SPF for intense outdoor activity, consider a higher-SPF or sport-focused protector for extended sun exposure.
