SUN CARE CATEGORY – Does your skin have an adequate shield against premature aging and damage? Enjoying the sun is wonderful, but without adequate protection, the sun's rays can become your skin's biggest enemy. Sun protection (SPF) is not reserved only for summer vacations and the beach – it is absolutely the most important and indispensable step in your daily skincare routine, 365 days a year. Our "Sun Care" category offers you premium dermocosmetics that will protect your skin from harmful UVA and UVB radiation, sunburns, and photoaging.
Prolonged sun exposure without protection directly destroys collagen, causes deep wrinkles, dark spots (hyperpigmentation), and loss of elasticity. That is why we have included in our assortment only clinically tested products from world-renowned brands that provide maximum safety for all skin types – from extremely sensitive and children's skin to acne-prone skin and sun allergies.
What can you find in our offer?
- Face creams with SPF: Forget about heavy and sticky creams! Our face fluids and gel creams are lightweight, non-comedogenic (do not clog pores), and are the perfect base for makeup. We also offer specialized formulas against aging and dark spots.
- Body lotions, sprays, and oils: Whether you prefer a refreshing spray that is easy to apply, a nourishing lotion, or a dry oil, our body products are water-resistant, do not leave white marks, and provide long-lasting protection for the whole family.
- Protection for children and babies: Children's skin is extremely thin and sensitive. Our creams for kids contain high protection factors (SPF 50+) and hypoallergenic formulas that are resistant to water and sand, free of perfumes and irritants.
- After-sun care: After sun exposure, the skin desperately needs regeneration. Our lotions and gels based on aloe vera and hyaluronic acid instantly soothe redness, intensely hydrate, and prolong your tan.
Why choose our sun care products?
- Broad-spectrum protection: Our products protect against both UVA rays (which cause aging) and UVB rays (which cause sunburns).
- Adapted to every skin type: We have solutions for oily, dry, sensitive skin, as well as skin prone to atopic dermatitis.
- Affordable prices: Premium health protection for your skin doesn't have to be expensive. We offer the best prices for top-quality pharmacy cosmetics.
Pharmacist's advice
Most people apply too little sunscreen! The golden rule for the face and neck is the "two-finger rule" – squeeze the cream along the entire length of your index and middle fingers, and that is the optimal amount for adequate facial protection. Apply the cream 15 to 20 minutes before going outside, and if you are at the beach or sweating, reapply the layer every 2 hours and always after getting out of the water.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. Can I use last year's sunscreen?
It is not recommended. UV filters (especially chemical ones) degrade over time, especially if the cream was kept in a warm place (at the beach or in the car). An opened cream from last season no longer provides the protection factor stated on the packaging, which puts you at risk of sunburn.
2. If I apply SPF 50, does it mean I can stay in the sun twice as long as with SPF 25?
No. The factor number indicates the percentage of blocked UVB rays, not the duration. SPF 30 blocks about 97% of rays, while SPF 50 blocks about 98%. Whichever factor you use, the cream is physically removed by sweating, wiping, and swimming, so every cream must be reapplied every 2 hours.
