Is it OK for sensitive skin?
Declared facts only, not a suitability verdict: no fragrance listed; no labeled fragrance allergens declared; no denatured alcohol listed. No irritation-related fact here implies suitability for any skin type.
How much of the key actives does it contain?
Niacinamide: rank 7 of 42; Adenosine: rank 26 of 42.
Can I buy it outside Korea?
International shipping: Olive Young Global, YesStyle; Sold in Korea only: Olive Young Korea; Global price: US$29.44, reduced from US$33.00 (Olive Young Global, "50ml 1+1 Set").
Is the Korean version of AHC's Masters Aqua-Rich Sun Cream different from the export version?
No known difference — Olive Young Global sells the same product under the matching name "AHC Masters Aqua Rich Sun Cream 50ml 1+1 Set," and a third-party ingredient-decoder transcription of that export listing shows the same four UV filters (Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate/Uvinul A Plus, Ethylhexyl Triazone/Uvinul T150, Methylene Bis-Benzotriazolyl Tetramethylbutylphenol/Tinosorb M, Diethylhexyl Butamido Triazone/Uvasorb HEB) as Olive Young Korea's own mandatory ingredient disclosure, checked 2026-09-04. A direct side-by-side of the two platforms' own text disclosures has not been done, so this verdict rests on the third-party transcription rather than a direct comparison.
Is it vegan?
Not confirmed — no vegan-certification mark or claim was found on Olive Young Korea's mandatory ingredient disclosure, the AHC brand site, or the Olive Young Global listing, checked 2026-09-04.
