The best sunscreen is the one you'll use twice a day without thinking about it. Photoactive Hydra Gel is a water-light gel that disappears into brown skin with no cast, no stickiness and no film under makeup. SPF 50+ against UVB, PA+++ against the UVA that drives tanning, pigmentation and photoageing — which in India is the part that matters most, all year, indoors near windows included.
Full ingredient rationale for each active is on its own page. If a percentage isn't stated on a product you're considering — ours or anyone's — that's worth asking about.
The single most common mistake is using a quarter of what the SPF rating was tested at. Two finger-lengths covers face and neck.
After moisturiser, before makeup. Give it two minutes to set.
Sunscreen degrades. If you're outside, in traffic, or by a window all afternoon, it needs topping up.
No. It's built and tested on Indian skin tones specifically, which is where most global formulas fall down.
UVA passes through window glass, so if you sit near a window or drive daily, yes. Not because of burning — because of pigmentation and ageing.
Hydra for dry, normal or combination skin. Matte if you're oily, live somewhere humid, or want zero shine by noon.
