Photoactive Hydra Gel
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 and pigmentation, and defence extending to infrared and blue light, which matter more than most Indian sunscreens admit.

Every active, at a dose that works.
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.
Simple, and done properly.
Two finger-lengths
The single most common mistake is using a quarter of what the SPF rating was tested at. Two finger-lengths covers face and neck.
Last step, every morning
After moisturiser, before makeup. Give it two minutes to set.
Reapply every three hours outdoors
Sunscreen degrades. If you're outside, in traffic, or by a window all afternoon, it needs topping up.
The questions we actually get.
Will it leave a white cast?
No. It's built and tested on Indian skin tones specifically, which is where most global formulas fall down.
Do I need it indoors?
UVA passes through window glass, and blue light comes off screens and daylight both. If you sit near a window or drive daily, yes, not because of burning, but because of pigmentation and ageing.
Hydra Gel or Matte Gel?
Hydra for dry, normal or combination skin. Matte if you're oily, live somewhere humid, or want zero shine by noon.

For sun exposure & tanning.
India sits under one of the highest year-round UV indices in the world. Almost every other skin concern is downstream of it.
