European vs Asian Sunscreens

Why do some europeans love asian sunscreens? As an European I preffer european sunscreens. In Europe asian sunscreens are more expensive, they have lower UVA protection and they aren’t so well tested as european sunscrens are because UE standards are si high.

I love both but I feel like Asian sunscreens have more pleasant textures. They feel more pleasant to use everyday and reapply. But European sunscreens are catching up and are launching new sunscreens with nicer textures. I agree about the UVA protection. It's usually higher in European sunscreens.

I guess it because everyone has a different preferences, my dear. Some people like the dewy effects, some prefer chemical sunscreen (European/ western countries generally produce more physical sunscreen), and some just love kbeauty.

Just like toners, cleansers and serums, they only vary slightly between European and Korean brands. Korean brands are known for chemical sunscreen, while the western brands are known for their physical. And both Korean and European brands produce hybrid spf too. Like I mentioned above, different people have different preferences. Asian sunscreen might be expensive in Europe, but it is quite affordable over here in Asia. I don't see a reason why not.
