Medicube PDRN Pink Tone-Up Sun Cream SPF50+ PA++++

Medicube's PDRN Pink Tone-Up Sun Cream (SPF50+ PA++++, 50ml) is a peach/pink-tinted sunscreen built around PDRN (Sodium DNA) and glutathione, sold for roughly ₩24,000 on the brand's own Korean community/review pages (checked 2026-09-04; Olive Young Korea's own live listing price could not be confirmed — see sourcing note below). Its 58-ingredient disclosed formula, sourced from a third-party INCI database rather than Olive Young Korea directly (see below), uses a hybrid of one inorganic filter (Titanium Dioxide) and four organic filters (Ethylhexyl Triazone, Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate, Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine, Methylene Bis-Benzotriazolyl Tetramethylbutylphenol) — none of the four organic filters are FDA-approved. Olive Young Korea's own product page (goodsNo A000000217926) could not be loaded directly — the site's Cloudflare bot-check blocked repeated attempts on 2026-09-04, both via direct fetch and via browser. This page's facts are instead built from Medicube's own Korean site (themedicube.co.kr), Olive Young Global's identical international listing, and independent trackers (INKEEDecoder for the full INCI list, danawa.com and glowpick.com for comparison-shopping specs) — all checked 2026-09-04. The identical product (same name, same SPF50+ PA++++, same 50ml size) is also sold internationally through Olive Young Global and K-beauty import retailers (YesStyle, Cult Beauty), with no separately reformulated export SKU found. It is a registered Korean functional cosmetic (기능성화장품) for three claims — UV protection, whitening support, and wrinkle-improvement support — per comparison-shopping site danawa.com's reproduction of the product's mandatory Korean label disclosure (checked 2026-09-04); the specific MFDS notice/report number is not published on any listing found.

Is the Korean version of Medicube's PDRN Pink Tone-Up Sun Cream different from what's sold outside Korea?

No reformulation was found — the identical product, under the same name and with the same SPF50+ PA++++ rating and 50ml size, is sold through Olive Young Global (Olive Young's own international storefront, checked 2026-09-04) as well as K-beauty import retailers such as YesStyle and Cult Beauty. Its declared UV filters — Titanium Dioxide plus four organic filters (Ethylhexyl Triazone, Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate, Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine, Methylene Bis-Benzotriazolyl Tetramethylbutylphenol) — carry over unchanged into the export listings; none of the four organic filters are FDA-approved, so the product is exported as-is through import channels rather than through FDA-regulated US retail. No separately named US-market reformulation (comparable to Beauty of Joseon's split SKU situation) was found on Medicube's own US site, medicube.us, which does not appear to carry this specific product at all.

Does it contain petrolatum?

No — Petrolatum/Vaselinum does not appear in the product's 58-ingredient disclosed formula as reproduced by INKEEDecoder's ingredient database (checked 2026-09-04); Olive Young Korea's own listing could not be directly verified due to a Cloudflare bot-check block on 2026-09-04.

Does this sunscreen use physical (mineral) or chemical (organic) UV filters, or both?

Both — it's a hybrid formula. The disclosed ingredient list includes one inorganic filter, Titanium Dioxide, alongside four organic filters (Ethylhexyl Triazone, Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate, Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine, and Methylene Bis-Benzotriazolyl Tetramethylbutylphenol), per INKEEDecoder's reproduction of the product's ingredient list (checked 2026-09-04). No Zinc Oxide is used.
