Overview
Cosmetic
Uses & Benefits
Helps prevent sunburn and photo-damage from UVA/UVB exposure; suitable for outdoor/sports use; helps reduce tanning and sun-induced darkening/pigmentation risk.
How It Works
Sunscreen forms a protective film on the skin using UV filters that absorb, reflect and/or scatter ultraviolet rays. SPF 100+ indicates very high UVB protection; broad-spectrum formulas also protect against UVA which contributes to tanning and photoaging.
Directions for Use
For external use only. Apply generously and evenly to face/neck and all exposed skin 15–20 minutes before sun exposure. Reapply every 2 hours and after swimming, sweating, towel drying or prolonged outdoor activity. Avoid contact with eyes; rinse with water if it occurs.
Patch test before first use, especially on sensitive skin. Stop use and consult a doctor if rash/irritation persists. Avoid application on broken or inflamed skin. Keep away from eyes and mucous membranes. Sunscreen is only one part of sun protection—use protective clothing and limit midday sun.
Drug Interactions
No significant drug interactions expected with topical sunscreen. If using other topical actives (retinoids, AHAs/BHAs, benzoyl peroxide), irritation may increase—use with caution and moisturize.
