How it works
The SPF50+ formula printed on the bottle sits in an acrylate-and-silicone base built for a smoother, less chalky finish than a typical high-SPF sunscreen. Hyaluronic Acid, Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid and Sodium Hyaluronate stack together for hydration, and Hydrolyzed Collagen and Aloe Barbadensis (Aloe Vera) Leaf Extract sit in the base to keep a high-SPF formula from feeling drying on the skin. It is meant to be the last skincare step before makeup, applied once every other product has had time to absorb so it sits on a settled surface. It ships as TIRTIR's Korean-market formula, matching what the brand sells through Korean retail rather than a separate version built for US shelves.
Key benefits
- Hyaluronic Acid, Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid and Sodium Hyaluronate for hydration
- Hydrolyzed Collagen and Aloe Vera Leaf Extract in the base
- Smoother, less chalky finish than a typical high-SPF formula
- Brought in as the exact Korean-market SKU TIRTIR sells at home, not a separate US-market formulation
Key actives
Sodium HyaluronateHumectant, water-binding
The salt form of hyaluronic acid, and the exact form this row's own ingredient list names, drawing water into the skin's surface layers for a plumper, more hydrated feel.
Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic AcidLow-molecular-weight humectant
A broken-down, lower-molecular-weight version of hyaluronic acid that sits closer to the skin's surface than the larger molecule, layering a second depth of hydration.
Hyaluronic AcidHumectant, water-binding
The classic water-binding humectant, named directly on this row's own ingredient list rather than inferred, drawing moisture into the surface of the skin.
PanthenolProvitamin B5, soothing
Provitamin B5, a staple soothing and moisture-holding ingredient across Korean toners, serums and creams, chosen for how reliably well most skin tolerates it.
Hydrolyzed CollagenSkin-conditioning ingredient
A broken-down form of collagen, small enough to sit usefully on the skin's surface as a skin-conditioning and moisture-supporting ingredient rather than to rebuild skin's own collagen.
Will this feel drying like some high-SPF sunscreens do?
The formula layers Hyaluronic Acid, Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid, Sodium Hyaluronate and Hydrolyzed Collagen specifically to offset the drying feel a high-SPF base can otherwise leave. This is general guidance rather than a fixed rule, so adjust it based on how your own skin or the product itself responds.
How much should I apply?
Roughly a fingertip's worth for the whole face is the standard amount for daily sunscreen use, applied as the last skincare step before makeup. This is general guidance rather than a fixed rule, so adjust it based on how your own skin or the product itself responds.
Is this the same formula sold in Korea, or a version made for the US market?
This is TIRTIR's Korean-market formula, sourced and shipped with its original Korean-market packaging and batch coding rather than a separate US-reformulated version. Korean Pharmacy stocks the exact SKU sold through Korean retail rather than a substitute built for US shelves, which is the point of buying from a specialist rather than a general beauty retailer.
How should I store this to keep it in good condition?
Keep the cap or compact closed between uses and store it away from direct sunlight and heat, the same way you would any cosmetic. A cool, dry spot such as a drawer or cabinet keeps the texture and finish consistent for longer than leaving it exposed on a warm windowsill or in a hot car.

How to use
- Apply a moderate amount on the entire face. Gently dab to aid absorption.
- Nothing skincare goes over it. It is the last thing on in the morning, and it is never mixed into the moisturizer underneath it.
- Every morning, and again through the day as the instruction on the pack directs. Do not stir it into your moisturizer to save a step.
Worth knowing
- Patch test a new sunscreen on the inner arm first if your skin reacts easily to new formulas.

What professionals say
What professionals say
What skin-care professionals say about the key actives in this formula, quoted from the medical sources linked beside each.
Hyaluronic acid helps bind water to collagen, which traps water in the skin. That helps make the skin more plump and full-looking.
Samantha Stein, PA-CDermatology physician assistant, Cleveland Clinic Pantothenol is a common ingredient in skin care and hair products I recommend, particularly for people who are prone to dryness.
Taylor Bullock, MDDermatology resident, Cleveland Clinic

Topical collagen is a very large molecule that's too big to absorb into the skin.
