Overview
Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun Aqua-Fresh SPF 50+ PA++++ Rice is one of 41 skin care products on our shelf, compared on what buyers rated it, how many of them there were, and what it costs today. Here is how the maker describes it: Even lighter than our iconic Relief Sun Sunscreen, Aqua-Fresh has a watery, refreshing texture you'll forget you're even wearing. Fast-absorbing Korean sunscreen formula leaves less white cast and feels like refreshing skincare. That is the maker talking, not us, so read it as a claim rather than a finding. Buyers have it at 4.7 out of 5 from 3,589 ratings. We work out below what that is worth against everything else on the shelf.

How settled
Comparatively few ratings, so treat the score as provisional
The typical skin care product on our shelf scores 4.6 out of 5, measured across 41 rated products. This one comes in at 4.7. That's inside the top quarter. Almost everything in this aisle rates well, so the useful signal isn't the score itself but how far above the pack it sits, and this one genuinely is.
Behind that score sit 3,589 ratings, against a shelf median of 12,743. For this shelf that's thin. A handful of new reviews could shift it noticeably, so read the score as an early signal rather than a verdict.
The shelf runs from £1.80 to £16.70 and the midpoint is about £9.37. On price, this one is in the top third. It costs more than most and is rated above most, so the premium at least tracks something buyers recognise.
