Then I Met You Essence Light Korean Sunscreen SPF 50 Lotion — 1.69 oz, hydrating dewy finish & fast-absorbing

Then I Met You Essence Light Sunscreen is a lightweight, hydrating SPF 50 broad-spectrum lotion that blends invisibly to protect skin while leaving a dewy, non-sticky finish.

This Korean-inspired sun lotion combines high UVA/UVB protection with moisture-supporting actives in a small, travel-friendly 1.69 oz tube. Formulated to layer under makeup or to wear solo, it uses fermented extracts and humectants to keep skin comfortable and radiant throughout the day. The texture is engineered to absorb quickly without a white cast, making it suitable for a wide range of skin tones and routines.

How does this sunscreen fit into my daily routine?

Apply as the final daytime step, after serums and moisturizers, and give it a couple minutes to settle before makeup. Use about a nickel-size amount for the face, extending to neck and décolletage, and reapply every two hours when exposed to sun.

• Use daily, rain or shine, as the last skincare step before makeup
• Allow 2–3 minutes to absorb prior to primers or foundation
• Reapply every two hours during prolonged sun exposure
• Avoid direct eye contact; cover all exposed areas evenly

What skin benefits come from the formula ingredients?

The lotion blends fermented sake extract with ceramides, hyaluronic acid, and provitamin B5 to support hydration and a plumped appearance without heaviness. These supportive ingredients help maintain skin barrier comfort while the SPF filters do the protective work.

• Fermented sake extract for lightweight moisture and antioxidant support
• Hyaluronic acid attracts and holds hydration for a dewy look
• Ceramides help support the skin’s protective barrier
• Provitamin B5 soothes and keeps texture smooth under makeup

Will it leave a white cast or feel sticky on my skin?

This Essence Light formula is crafted to apply invisibly across many skin tones with a non-greasy, non-sticky finish. The fast-absorbing, essence-like texture aims to dissolve into skin rather than sit on top, so makeup layers smoothly afterward.

• Designed for minimal to no white cast on most tones
• Light, essence-like consistency for quick absorption
• Leaves a luminous, dewy finish instead of tacky residue
• Suitable as a primer base under cosmetics

Is this product vegan and cruelty-free?

Yes — the product is formulated without animal-derived ingredients and carries recognized cruelty-free certification. The brand emphasizes traceable sourcing and third-party oversight for ethical standards across formulation and partners.

• Vegan-friendly formulation with no animal-derived ingredients
• Leaping Bunny certified: no animal testing at any stage
• Ingredients and partners held to transparent sourcing practices
• Compact 1.69 oz tube for travel and reapplication convenience

Who is this for: This sunscreen is aimed at anyone seeking high SPF protection in a lightweight, hydrating formula—especially those who prefer Korean skincare textures, need a makeup-friendly base, or want a cruelty-free, vegan option in a compact size. It suits normal to combination and dehydrated skin types looking for daily defense without heaviness; if you have very oily or acne-prone skin, patch testing is recommended to confirm compatibility.
