Pharmacist advice

A dry-touch texture is particularly practical for skin that becomes shiny quickly, but the mattifying finish is not a reason to reduce the amount applied. The labelled SPF 30 is achieved only with generous and even application.

A practical guide for the face, neck and ears is approximately two finger lengths of product. With a fluid texture, two consecutive thin layers may make even coverage easier.

SPF 30 may suit everyday city use and moderate exposure. Choose SPF 50+ for a high UV index, very fair skin, pigmentation concerns, retinoid use, beach holidays or prolonged outdoor exposure.

Because alcohol appears high in the ingredient list, the fluid may be less comfortable on very dry, damaged or currently irritated skin. Apply a lightweight moisturiser first or choose a gentler sunscreen formula.

Renew protection approximately every two hours during intensive outdoor exposure and immediately after swimming, heavy perspiration or towel drying.

Persistent redness, burning, painful inflammatory lesions or a sudden worsening of acne require dermatological assessment.
