I think Japanese sunscreens offer top‑notch waterproof protection in high heat – I'd say they're on par with European brands. Korean ones aren't really meant for intense heat; they're more for light sun exposure.

Sorry if this is off‑topic, but I can't post it elsewhere. Can anyone suggest a good sunscreen that doesn't make me sweat? I use a basic minimalist one that works, but I sweat a lot.

I'm using Isntree, and yesterday I tried Umbrella but still got darker after walking for a few minutes. I also used 2% salicylic acid the night before, so I'm not sure if the sunscreen is effective. Even with BOJ which I used before, the morning sun made my skin itchy. With all this, I think Korean sunscreens aren't effective, I guess.
