 Blending cutting-edge Korean skincare science with luxurious textures, Deoproce delivers sun protection that feels like a treat, not a task — weightless, breathable, and built for the heat.

When it comes to skincare, South Korea isn’t just keeping up — it’s setting the pace. Revered globally for its relentless innovation and futuristic formulations, the K-beauty industry has become synonymous with luminous skin, elegant textures, and science-backed results. Within this realm of beauty breakthroughs, one name stands out in the sun protection space: Deoproce.

In a world where sunscreens are often thick, chalky, and a chore to apply, Deoproce flips the script. This is not your average SPF. It’s where science meets sensorial luxury — the kind that protects and pampers all at once.

The Korean Skincare Renaissance

Korea’s skincare dominance didn’t happen overnight. It’s the result of decades of deep research, consumer education, and a culture that treats skin care as self-care, not an afterthought. Korean formulations are famously ahead of the curve, integrating skin-benefiting ingredients into every step — even sun protection.

In Korea, sunscreen isn’t just a barrier against UV rays. It’s essential for daily skincare. And brands like Deoproce are rewriting the rules on what that experience should feel like. The brand’s latest range of sunscreens embodies everything K-beauty is loved for: light-as-air textures, skin-caring ingredients, and impressive multi-functionality.

Introducing: Deoproce Premium UV Sunblock Cream SPF 42 PA+++

At the heart of Deoproce’s sun care line is the Premium UV Sunblock Cream SPF 42 PA+++, a standout product that exemplifies the brand's fusion of advanced sun protection and luxurious skincare. This sunscreen offers broad-spectrum protection against both UVA and UVB rays, helping to prevent sunburn, premature aging, and unwanted pigmentation.

The formula is enriched with plant extracts that provide moisturizing and nutritional benefits, ensuring your skin remains supple even under intense sun exposure. Additionally, Vitamin E and Hyaluronic Acid work synergistically to maintain skin elasticity and prevent dryness.

Not your typical sunscreen:

• Corrects skin tone: It naturally penetrates into the skin and matches each skin tone to make the face look even brighter.
• Dual UV Protection: It healthily protects the skin by blocking both aging ultraviolet rays (UVA) and burning ultraviolet rays.
• Can be used as makeup base: Helps makeup stay on longer and evens out skin texture to create a smooth and even skin tone.

Designed for both the face and body, this sunblock is water-resistant, making it ideal for outdoor activities and beach outings. Its long-lasting formula provides up to 8 hours of protection, ensuring your skin stays shielded throughout the day. Moreover, it can double as a makeup base, offering a smooth canvas (primer +tint) for your daily beauty routine.

While the Premium UV Sunblock Cream is ideal for dry and aging skin, Deoproce also offers a broader UV Defence line that caters to different skin types — including oily, sensitive, and combination skin — ensuring that everyone can find their perfect sun care match.

Deoproce: Sunscreen Reimagined

What sets Deoproce apart isn’t just its commitment to innovation — it’s the execution. The brand’s formulas glide on effortlessly.

For those tired of Western sunscreens that feel heavy, clog pores, or leave skin feeling suffocated, Deoproce offers a refreshing contrast. Their SPF isn’t a topcoat — it’s a treatment. Infused with nourishing botanicals, calming agents, and skin-enhancing ingredients, each formula works double duty: shielding skin from harsh UVA/UVB rays while improving texture, hydration, and clarity.

Designed for Real Life And More!

Let’s face it — not every sunscreen is made for sweat, humidity, or blazing sun. Deoproce formulates specifically with these realities in mind. Whether you're island-hopping in the Philippines, commuting under Manila’s midday sun, or just living your day-to-day life in a humid climate, Deoproce stays breathable, flexible, and beautifully wearable.

This is a game-changer for those who once skipped SPF to avoid the discomfort.

The Deoproce Difference

Deoproce has a deep understanding that protection and pleasure don’t have to be mutually exclusive. You shouldn’t have to choose between safe skin and beautiful skin. You can have both — and Deoproce proves it.

As the world increasingly looks East for beauty inspiration, Korean sun care stands tall as a beacon of what’s possible when science and sensibility align. In Deoproce, that alignment is flawless.

Experience the new gold standard in sunscreen — and discover why with Deoproce, sun protection never felt so good.
