Purito SEOUL - Daily Soft Touch Sunscreen (60ml)

Purito SEOUL Daily Soft Touch Sunscreen is a lightweight SPF 50+ PA++++ daily sunscreen — and how much you apply will affect your actual protection far more than which high-SPF product you pick.

Daily Soft Touch Sunscreen at a glance

The amount matters more than the number

SPF 50+ describes protection against UVB — the burning rays. PA++++ is the highest grade on the Asian rating scale for UVA, the wavelengths most associated with long-term ageing and pigmentation. Together they are about as much everyday protection as a facial sunscreen offers, and it is a genuinely strong specification.

Here is the part most product pages leave out. That SPF 50+ figure is measured in laboratory testing at a standardised thickness of roughly 2mg per square centimetre of skin. Study after study finds ordinary people apply somewhere between a quarter and half of that — and protection does not decline in proportion. Applied at half the tested thickness, a high-SPF sunscreen can deliver dramatically less than its label.

The practical fix is to measure rather than eyeball it. For the face and neck, use about a quarter of a teaspoon, or squeeze a line of sunscreen along the length of your index and middle fingers and use all of it. It will feel like more product than you are used to. That is the point — most people have been under-applying for years.

Then reapply every two hours while you are actually out in the sun. Sunscreen degrades and rubs off, and no formulation lasts a full day from one morning application.

How to use it

1. Apply every morning as the final step, after moisturiser and before makeup.
2. Use a quarter teaspoon for face and neck, or the two-finger measure.
3. Do not forget the edges — ears, hairline, sides of the neck and the tops of the hands.
4. Reapply every two hours outdoors, and after swimming or heavy sweating.

Frequently asked questions

How much should I actually apply?

About a quarter of a teaspoon for face and neck, or a line along two fingers. Most people apply far less than the amount SPF is tested at, which significantly reduces real protection.

What does PA++++ mean?

It is the highest grade on the Asian UVA rating scale. SPF covers UVB, which causes burning; PA covers UVA, associated with ageing and pigmentation. You want both.

Do I need it indoors?

If you sit near windows, yes — UVA passes through glass. For a day entirely away from windows it matters much less, though daily habit is easier to keep than daily judgement calls.

How often do I need to reapply?

Every two hours of genuine sun exposure, and after swimming or sweating. No sunscreen lasts all day from a single morning application.

Does it leave a white cast?

It is formulated for a soft, invisible finish rather than the chalky look of older mineral sunscreens. Individual results vary with skin tone, so apply and check in daylight.

Can I wear it under makeup?

Yes. Let it settle for a couple of minutes before foundation. Reapplying over makeup is awkward — a sun stick or powder SPF is easier for touch-ups.

Is SPF 50+ much better than SPF 30?

The difference in filtered UVB is real but smaller than the numbers suggest. Applying enough of an SPF 30 beats applying too little of an SPF 50 every time.
