Ingredient Spotlight: Why Broad Spectrum SPF and PA+++ Are Essential In Korean Skincare
Why Korean Sunscreens with PA+++ Are So Effective
When it comes to shielding your skin against sun damage, choosing a sunscreen that provides broad-spectrum UVA and UVB protection is key. Korean sunscreens have earned a reputation for going beyond basic SPF, delivering lightweight formulas and superior UVA defense — often indicated by the PA+++ label.
What Does PA+++ Mean?
PA is a rating system that measures a sunscreen’s effectiveness against UVA rays.
PA+ indicates some UVA protection
PA++ indicates moderate UVA protection
PA+++ indicates high UVA protection — ideal for everyday wear and prevention of signs of aging
PA++++ indicates extremely high UVA defense for intense sun exposure
PA+++ is the perfect balance for most skin types, protecting against deep-penetrating UVA rays that contribute to fine lines, hyperpigmentation, and collagen breakdown.
Why Korean Sunscreens Stand Out
Korean sunscreen formulations focus on elegant textures and skin-nourishing ingredients. Many products pair broad-spectrum filters with humectants, antioxidants, and calming botanicals like centella asiatica, so they hydrate and soothe your skin while providing top-tier UVA defense. They’re also famously lightweight, absorbing without a white cast — even on deeper skin tones.
