Three UV filters at SPF 50 PA+++, in a gel that disappears on oily skin.
It turns the face grey in photographs, and by midday it has slid into a greasy film that brings out spots. So the tube goes in a drawer — and every brightening product in the routine quietly stops working, because sun exposure is where pigment begins.
This one is a transparent gel that controls oil through the day. No cast, no slide.
A sunscreen only works on the days you put it on. Which means the greasy one that photographs grey is worth less than the one you reach for without thinking about it.
This is a transparent gel that goes matte and stays matte — built for oily skin in a hot climate, not adapted for it.

The UVB rating — burn protection. Filters roughly 98% of UVB when you apply enough of it.

Formulation comparison
The best sunscreen is not the one with the highest number on the tube. It is the one you have not quietly stopped applying by the second week.
No grey cast, no ashy flash in photographs.
A gel base, not a cream, so it does not sit and shine by noon.
Formulated not to block the pores it is sitting on all day.
It does not pill or roll when anything goes on top.
UVA and UVB, with the rating printed rather than implied.
Every brightening product you own is undone without this one.
Protection you skip is protection you do not have.
