Powered with 2% Salicylic Acid, Ectoin, and powered by new-generation UV filters like MBBT, DHHB, BEMT, EHT, this advanced gel sunscreen helps protect skin from harmful UV rays while supporting oil control and clearer-looking pores.

It helps keep the skin feeling calm, hydrated, and comfortable throughout the day. Formulated using new-generation UV filters like MBBT, DHHB, BEMT, EHT , the sunscreen delivers broad-spectrum protection against UVA & UVB rays with a lightweight and elegant finish suitable for everyday use.
