Prevention of sunburn and photoaging; protection from UVA/UVB radiation; helps prevent tanning, pigmentation, and sun-induced darkening of skin; suitable for daily photoprotection in sensitive/acne-prone skin (gel base).
It combines chemical UV filters that absorb UV radiation and convert it to less harmful energy, with physical/mineral filters that reflect and scatter UV rays. This broad-spectrum protection reduces UV-induced skin damage and pigmentation when applied adequately and reapplied.
For external use only. Apply a generous, even layer on face/neck and other exposed areas 15–20 minutes before sun exposure. Reapply every 2–3 hours and after sweating, swimming, towel-drying, or prolonged outdoor exposure. Use daily; can be used under makeup.
Common side effects of La Shield SPF 40 Sunscreen Gel may include:
Patch test if you have sensitive skin. Avoid contact with eyes, mouth, and broken/irritated skin; rinse with water if contact occurs. Discontinue and consult a dermatologist if severe irritation, swelling, or rash occurs. Sunscreen is only one part of sun protection—use hats, clothing, and shade. Not intended for ingestion; keep out of reach of children.
