- Adequate Amount: Use two finger lengths of product for face and neck.
- Apply Before Sun Exposure: Apply 15 minutes before stepping out; this allows the UV filters to bind to the skin.

- Reapply Every 2 Hours: Reapply outdoors every 2 hours, or more frequently when sweating.
- Daily Commitment: Apply every morning without exception for consistent protection and pore minimisation.

FAQs
Is Dr. Sheth's Centella & Niacinamide Oil-Free Matte Sunscreen SPF 50+ PA++++ Good for All Skin Types?
Specifically formulated for oily, combination, and acne-prone skin types. The matte, oil-free formula controls sebum, minimises pores, and soothes breakout-prone skin simultaneously. Normal skin can also use it. Dry skin users may find this formula too drying; they should opt for a richer sunscreen variant.
Is this product good for all skin types?
It is most beneficial for oily, combination, and acne-prone skin. Its mattifying, oil-free formula specifically addresses excess shine and pores. Dry skin types may find it slightly stripping and should choose a hydrating sunscreen instead.
Does the matte finish last all day?
Yes — the combination of Dimethicone and Zinc PCA provides long-lasting mattification. In very humid conditions, a light blotting paper touch-up mid-day may be needed.
Can I skip moisturizer and use this directly?
For oily skin, yes — the formula provides sufficient hydration. For normal or combination skin, a light moisturizer underneath is still beneficial.
Is 10% Niacinamide safe for daily use?
Yes — 10% Niacinamide is a clinically validated concentration used safely in daily skincare. The rare niacin-flush effect (mild redness) is harmless and subsides within minutes.
