It’s almost summertime again. A lot of K-beauty lovers are interested in what Laneige sunscreen options they have to choose from going into the season. Well, here’s your answer! Check out the newest release, as well as a few other great picks that are still going strong since entering the market.
Water Bank UV Barrier Sunscreen (SPF 50+ PA++++)
The Water Bank UV Barrier is the latest Laneige sunscreen, released in early March 2025. It boasts a powerful moisture function and is low-irritation protectant against UV rays. The Water Bank formula also works to repair damaged to the skin barrier and acts as a shield against fine dust absorption.
Active ingredients include:
- Blue Hyaluronic Acid – special formula with triple the repairing power of general hyaluronic acid
- Blackberry Extract – contains antioxidant properties
- Bisabolol – non-irritant skin soothing agent that promotes absorption1
- Allantoin – a common mild and safe skincare ingredient that deeply hydrates, exfoliates dead skin cells, works as an antimicrobial, and prevents skin aging.2
Perfect Renew 5D Sun Protector Essence (SPF 50+ PA++++)
The Perfect Renew 5D Essence is a Laneige sunscreen designed specifically to protect skin from photodamage and photoaging. It has a 5-layered UV shield that protects against UVB, UVA, and XL-UVA rays that damage skin barrier, cause dullness of complexion, and induce premature aging.
The anti-aging formula contains three types of collagen peptides to improve skin texture, as well as Red Flavonoids for boosting skin tone. The ‘5D’ in the name references the type of hyaluronic acid used as a moisturizing component. This essence also contains panthenol and pomegranate extract for strengthening the skin barrier and limiting oxidation of the skin cells.
Radian-C Sun Cream (SPF 50+ PA++++)
The Radian-C Laneige sunscreen is a “smart whitening” solution that also provides blemish care. It also promises to improve the appearance of freckles after about one month of consistent use.
Active ingredients include ceramide, panthenol, and — yep, you guessed it — vitamin C. The ceramide strengthens the skin’s protective barrier, and the panthenol improves overall skin health. Of course, the vitamin C provides all the skin benefits that we are familiar with; including boosting healing, promoting collagen production, and creating a more radiant complexion.
Hydro UV Defense Ex Laneige Sunscreen (SPF 50+)
The Hydro UV Defense Ex is a comparatively simple sunscreen solution. It employs hydro-ionized mineral water to promote hydration and Centella Asiatica as an anti-inflammatory agent. This sunscreen advertises both UVA (aging, long-term damage) and UVB (sunburn) protection; although, the UVA rating isn’t expressly noted.
