How does PHOTOSTABLE GOLD (PA+++ SPF 55) SUNSCREEN GEL work?

This sunscreen gel works by utilizing advanced UV filters and an Anhydrous Gel Matrix Technology to create a protective barrier on the skin. Ingredients such as Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate and Ethylhexyl Triazone absorb and block UVA and UVB radiation, preventing them from damaging the skin. Other components like Cyclopentasiloxane and Dimethicone help condition the skin, provide a silky texture, and contribute to its non-greasy, fast-absorbing nature.

What is the usual dosage and application?

For optimal protection, apply PHOTOSTABLE GOLD (PA+++ SPF 55) SUNSCREEN GEL generously on the face, neck, and other exposed skin areas approximately 20-30 minutes before sun exposure. Use your fingertips to spread a coin-sized amount (roughly 4-5 fingertip units for face and neck) evenly until fully absorbed. Reapply every 2-3 hours, especially after swimming, excessive sweating, or towel drying.

What are the possible side effects?

While generally well-tolerated, some individuals with extremely sensitive skin may experience mild irritation or redness after the first application. Accidental contact with eyes may cause temporary burning or irritation. Rarely, clogged pores or breakouts might occur if the product is not thoroughly removed before bedtime. In very rare instances, minor allergic reactions such as rashes or itching may appear. Discontinue use if signs of irritation, redness, or rash occur and consult a dermatologist.

Is it safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?

While generally considered safe due to its ingredients like Octinoxate and Avobenzone, it is advisable to consult your doctor or dermatologist before using PHOTOSTABLE GOLD (PA+++ SPF 55) SUNSCREEN GEL during pregnancy or breastfeeding to ensure it is suitable for your specific needs.

What precautions should be taken when using this sunscreen gel?

This product is for external use only. Avoid direct contact with eyes, mouth, and mucous membranes. Do not apply to broken, irritated, infected, or inflamed skin. It is recommended to perform a patch test on a small area of the inner arm before the first facial application to check for potential sensitivity. Discontinue use immediately if any signs of irritation, redness, or rash appear and consult a dermatologist. Keep out of reach of children and avoid use on infants below 6 months.

How should PHOTOSTABLE GOLD (PA+++ SPF 55) SUNSCREEN GEL be stored?

Store the sunscreen gel in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and excessive heat, to maintain its stability and effectiveness.

Check the expiry date before use and discard any expired product.

What do SPF 55 and PA+++ mean?

SPF 55 (Sun Protection Factor 55) indicates the level of protection against UVB rays, which are the primary cause of sunburn. An SPF of 55 means it blocks approximately 98% of UVB rays. PA+++ (Protection Grade of UVA) signifies a high level of protection against UVA rays. UVA rays contribute to premature skin aging, tanning, and long-term skin damage, including hyperpigmentation and wrinkles. A "PA+++" rating indicates good UVA protection. Together, SPF 55 and PA+++ provide broad-spectrum defense against both types of harmful UV radiation.

Is it suitable for all skin types?

PHOTOSTABLE GOLD (PA+++ SPF 55) SUNSCREEN GEL is specifically designed for oily and acne-prone skin due to its matte finish, non-comedogenic (won't clog pores), and hypoallergenic properties. It is also suitable for normal and combination skin types seeking a matte finish and broad-spectrum sun protection.
