What is a sunscreen?
A sunscreen is a product combining several ingredients that help prevent the sun's ultraviolet (UV) radiation from reaching the skin.
Why to use sunscreen?
Using sunscreen decreases the chances of sunburns.
Two types of ultraviolet radiation UVA and UVB damage the skin, age it prematurely, and increase your risk of skin cancer.
Therefore using sunscreen is important.
Do I need sunscreen?
YES. Everyone needs sunscreen. Whether girl or boy, using sunscreen is mandatory for all. People with low melanin should start applying sunscreen from early age, whereas people with high melanin should start applying sunscreen from teenage. This is because the ozone layer is depleting and your body needs shielding from harmful rays. In order to protect your skin from the harmful rays wear a good sunscreen.

My Experience:
I have normal skin, and this works great for normal skin.
The gel has white color and mild fragrance.
It is non-oily, non-sticky, gets absorbed very quickly and gives a matte look.
It never leaves white cast on your face it gets absorbed into your skin very well.

It never leaves white cast on your face it gets absorbed into your skin very well.
I've been using this for a month now and the best part is that it never made my skin break out.
When applied it gives a cooling effect.
However it washes off easily with water or sweat and it is not water resistant, it needs reapplication every 2 hours, and I am not quite satisfied with the results as I still suffer from tanning after applying it.
Pros:
- Non-sticky and non-oily
- Gives matte look
- It never made my skin break out
- Has SPF 50
- Easily available
Cons:
- 395 rupees for 100 g is a bit costly compared with the quality
- Needs reapplication after every 2 hours (com'on who has time to re-apply it every 2 hours)
- You may still get tanned even after reapplying it every 2 hours
- Washes off easily
Hacks.ify rating: 3/5
Will I repurchase it?
Most probably no, as I've said already I still got tanned and it is a bit costly
Do I recommend it:
Yes. I do recommend it. Just give it a try. Who knows it might work well for you and you may wanna repurchase it again. It is good for every skin type.
