Kiehl's Hydrating Calming Sun Cream SPF50+ PA++++
Kiehl's Hydrating Calming Sun Cream (30ml, SPF50+ PA++++ per an independent wholesale-distributor listing for the same SKU — Olive Young's own page text did not surface an SPF/PA badge) is listed on Olive Young Korea at 44,000원, discounted 10% to 39,600원 (평점 4.9, 리뷰 12건); listing active (not delisted), checked 2026-09-04. This is higher than an earlier 32,870원 category-discovery snapshot; the reason for the difference is not confirmed. Unusually for this catalog, the mandatory disclosure names the manufacturer as "미국 로레알사" (L'Oréal USA) with country of manufacture "미국" (United States) — this specific SKU is imported, not made in Korea, even though it is sold as a Kiehl's Korea listing. Hybrid (mineral + organic) filter system of six UV filters, including four that are not FDA-approved for US OTC sunscreens (Drometrizole Trisiloxane, Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine, Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate, Terephthalylidene Dicamphor Sulfonic Acid) — no identically formulated Kiehl's product could be found on Kiehl's US site, consistent with US law barring this exact filter combination from sale there.

Is it OK for sensitive skin?
Declared facts only, not a suitability verdict: no fragrance listed; no labeled fragrance allergens declared; contains denatured alcohol. No irritation-related fact here implies suitability for any skin type.
How much of the key actives does it contain?
Adenosine: rank 35 of 54, after Phenoxyethanol's 1% marker: typically ≤1% by Korean labeling practice (regulation caps phenoxyethanol at 1% but does not fix its position).
Can I buy it outside Korea?
No international-shipping channel verified in our sources (checked 2026-09-10); Sold in Korea only: Olive Young Korea; Shipping scope unverified: Kiehl's Korea (kiehls.co.kr).
Is the Korean version of this sunscreen different from the export version?
Could not confirm either way — no identically named or formulated Kiehl's sunscreen was found listed on Kiehl's US site or other Kiehl's global storefronts. Four of this product's six UV filters (Drometrizole Trisiloxane, Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine, Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate, Terephthalylidene Dicamphor Sulfonic Acid) are not on the US FDA's approved sunscreen-filter list, so if a Kiehl's product under a similar name is sold in the US it would need a different filter combination — but this is inference, not a confirmed side-by-side comparison, checked 2026-09-04.
Is this listing still for sale, or has it been discontinued?
Still an active listing — not delisted or discontinued, checked 2026-09-04.
Where is this specific sunscreen manufactured?
Olive Young Korea's mandatory disclosure names the manufacturer as "미국 로레알사" (L'Oréal USA), with responsible distributor "엘오케이(유)" (Kiehl's Korea distributor) and country of manufacture "미국" (United States) — unusual among this catalog's mostly Korea-manufactured sunscreens, checked 2026-09-04.
Is this a mineral, chemical, or hybrid-filter sunscreen?
Hybrid — the mandatory ingredient disclosure lists Titanium Dioxide alongside five organic filters (Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Drometrizole Trisiloxane, Terephthalylidene Dicamphor Sulfonic Acid, Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine, Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate), checked 2026-09-04.
Is Kiehl's a Korean brand?
No — Kiehl's was founded in New York City in 1851 and has been owned by L'Oréal (France) since 2000; this page covers the version sold in Korea, checked 2026-09-07.
