Disgust’s Skincare Diary [Round Lab Birch Juice Moisturizing Sunscreen]

You know when everyone keeps saying a sunscreen is perfect and you’re like… “okay but why is my T-zone still a frying pan?” 🙄 

 

That was me. I had HIGH hopes for this one, given all the hype and the dreamy “lightweight and hydrating” marketing. 

And to be fair, it is lightweight. And it is hydrating. But not in a way that works for everyone, especially not oily-combo skin girlies mid-summer. 😤

 

Texture? Milky and smooth, A+ on that. No white cast, bless. Layers decently with makeup. But for me, the hydration felt a little too much after a couple hours—like borderline greasy if you’re not using powder or blotting.

 

AND let’s talk packaging. Cute, minimal, sure. But the cap gets weirdly loose in my bag??? I’m not asking for military-grade security but come on. 

 

 

For the price and praise, I just wanted more balance. It’s not bad, but not my holy grail. Still on the hunt.

    I feel like it’s great in theory but doesn’t hold up to real heat. My forehead was glowing like a donut by noon.

    I use it in winter only now. Summer + this sunscreen = tragic combo for my T-zone too. You're not alone.

    @Female/Oily Not her, but have combo to oily skin. Mine is goodal moisturizing sunscreen! Doesn't make my skin that greasy but a bit so I just add a bit of powder on it.

    Gosh the loose cap! I lost half a bottle because it opened in my gym bag. Also agree about the greasy factor

    How does this compare to the Beauty of Joseon sunscreen? They seem similar but everyone says BOJ is better for oily skin.
    Also does the birch juice actually do anything or is it just marketing fluff?

    Used both and honestly I'd go with boj. Somehow this feels quite heavy midday and seems to have more greasiness imo.

    @Female/Sensitive I really didn't realize Birch Juice does much while I was using the whole line. Maybe a bit better hydrating, but it can easily be done by other products or ingredients yk.

    tbh, for me 6.5/10 bc it is good but not worth the hype for oily-leaning folks.
    - Liked it bc it actually hydrates without pillng and plays nice with most makeup without white cast and fragrance,
    - Didn't like it bc it gets shiny FAST on combo skin and is not sweat/water resistant.
