FAQs
What does SPF 100 mean?
SPF 100 indicates that the sunscreen provides a very high level of protection against sunburn caused by UVB rays. It means it would take approximately 100 times longer for your skin to redden compared to not wearing sunscreen.
What is PA++++ protection?
PA++++ is a rating system that measures the level of protection against UVA rays, which contribute to skin aging and long-term damage. The '++++' signifies the highest level of UVA protection available in this system.
Is this sunscreen suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, the product description states it is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin. However, as with any new product, it's advisable to perform a patch test if you have known sensitivities.
How often should I reapply this sunscreen?
You should reapply the sunscreen every 2 hours, or immediately after swimming, sweating, or towel drying for continuous and effective protection.
Can I wear this sunscreen under makeup?
Yes, the lightweight and non-greasy formula is designed to absorb quickly, making it suitable for wear under makeup.
Is this product water-resistant?
Yes, it is water and sweat resistant, meaning it stays on during vigorous activity and when wet. However, reapplication is still necessary after water exposure.
What is the size of this product?
This specific product is a 90ml bottle.
Troubleshooting
Sunscreen feels sticky or greasy.
Ensure you are applying to dry skin and allow the recommended 15 minutes for absorption before reapplication or dressing. If the issue persists, try applying a thinner layer.
Sunscreen leaves a white cast.
Apply the sunscreen evenly and rub it in thoroughly. For best results, apply to dry skin. If a white cast is still noticeable, try applying in smaller sections.
Skin irritation occurs after application.
Discontinue use if irritation persists. While formulated for all skin types, individual sensitivities can occur. Consult a dermatologist if problems continue.
Sunscreen washes off too easily.
Ensure you are reapplying at the recommended intervals (every 2 hours or after swimming/sweating/towel drying). True water resistance means it holds up, but it still requires reapplication.
