How Acne UV SPF 50 Gel Works

Sunscreen gel forms a protective layer on the skin that filters, absorbs, and/or reflects UVA and UVB rays. This reduces UV-induced inflammation, pigmentation and photoaging, helping protect sensitive acne-prone skin.

Dosage & Directions

Apply generously and evenly on face/neck and other exposed areas 15-20 minutes before sun exposure. Reapply every 2-3 hours, and after sweating, swimming, or towel-drying. Avoid contact with eyes; use daily as last step of skincare (before makeup).

Always follow your doctor's prescription. Do not self-medicate.
