How it works
No.1 Clear Filter Sun Essence SPF50+ PA++++ 50ml is built around Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Water (20.55%), which is a licorice-root derived ingredient long used in Korean formulas for a calm, even-toned finish. Licorice-root ingredients are a common calming and tone-support choice across Korean skincare, usually in a supporting rather than headline role. Alongside it, the formula carries Centella Asiatica Extract (15%), Niacinamide and Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract, each doing a supporting job rather than competing for the same result. As an essence, it is formulated for its own step in a Korean AM/PM routine, so it works with the rest of a layered routine instead of trying to replace it. Sourced for the Korean market, it is the same formula sold in Korea rather than a US-shelf substitute, with its intact Korean-market batch coding carried through.
Key benefits
- Carries Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Water (20.55%), which is a licorice-root derived ingredient long used in Korean formulas for a calm, even-toned finish.
- Carries Centella Asiatica Extract (15%), which is the cica extract Korean skincare built an entire calming category around, prized for a mild, even-tempered feel.
- Carries Niacinamide, which supports an even-looking skin tone and works alongside the formula's humectants to keep the surface comfortable.
- Carries Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract, which is aloe, carried here for a light, water-forward soothing feel rather than as an occlusive.
- Formulated as an essence, matched to its step in a Korean AM/PM routine rather than asked to do every job at once.
- Is the Korean-market formula from Numbuzin, with intact Korean-market batch coding rather than a US-reformulated substitute.
When in a routine should I use this essence?
Use it as the essence step, AM and PM, after toner and before serum. Placing an essence out of order is the most common reason a Korean routine feels like it is not working, so keep this one at its own step rather than doubling it up with a product built for a different stage. Give it a few weeks at that placement before judging the result.
Is this the same formula sold in Korea, or a US version?
This is the exact Korean-market formula, not a US-shelf reformulation. Numbuzin sells a separate reformulation on some US shelves, and this listing is not that version. The Korean-market batch coding and packaging travel with it, which is the detail worth checking against the box on arrival.
Where does this formula come from?
It comes from the Korean-market catalog rather than a US-shelf reformulation, and the packaging carries the same Korean-market batch coding a shopper would find on the box in Korea. That sourcing is checked on this row before the page is written, not assumed from the product name. It is the detail worth checking against the box on arrival.
What does Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Water (20.55%) do in this formula?
Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Water (20.55%) is a licorice-root derived ingredient long used in Korean formulas for a calm, even-toned finish. Licorice-root ingredients are a common calming and tone-support choice across Korean skincare, usually in a supporting rather than headline role. It sits at its own position on this product's own ingredient list rather than being assumed from the product name.
What does Centella Asiatica Extract (15%) do in this formula?
Centella Asiatica Extract (15%) is the cica extract Korean skincare built an entire calming category around, prized for a mild, even-tempered feel. Centella-led formulas are one of the most recognizable categories to come out of Korean skincare, built specifically around a calm, low-drama daily feel. It sits at its own position on this product's own ingredient list rather than being assumed from the product name.
