How to take Photostable Sunscreen Gel

For external use only. Apply generously and evenly on exposed skin (face/neck/arms) 15–20 minutes before sun exposure. Reapply every 2–3 hours and after swimming, sweating, towel drying or prolonged outdoor activity. Can be used daily; avoid contact with eyes and broken/irritated skin.

Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.

Missed dose and overdose

If you miss a dose

Take the missed dose of Photostable Sunscreen as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed one and carry on with the usual schedule. Do not take two doses together to make up for a missed dose.
