About Spectrum SC Gel 50g

A broad spectrum SPF 60 gel sunscreen that protects oily and combination skin from sun damage.

Spectrum SC Uses

  • Protects skin from UVA and UVB sun damage
  • Helps prevent sunburn and tanning during outdoor exposure
  • Reduces the risk of sun triggered pigmentation and melasma
  • Supports skin already being treated for acne or oily skin conditions

Spectrum SC Benefits

  • Lightweight gel base suits oily and acne prone skin
  • Oil free formula that does not clog pores
  • High SPF 60 rating gives strong daylong protection

Dermatologists in Lahore, Karachi, Islamabad and Rawalpindi see intense sun exposure for most of the year, which makes daily sunscreen use essential for preventing pigmentation and premature aging.

The gel combines Sulisobenzone, Avobenzone and Octinoxate, three chemical filters that absorb harmful UVA and UVB rays before they damage the skin.

A thin, even layer applied thirty minutes before sun exposure works best. Reapplication every few hours is needed with sweating, swimming or long outdoor hours.
