Why a Silicone Sunscreen Gel Belongs in Every Indian Routine
If you only adopt one new habit this year, make it daily sunscreen. Here is why the texture matters as much as the SPF.
Ask any dermatologist for the single most effective anti-ageing, anti-pigmentation product, and the answer is almost always the same: sunscreen. In a country with strong year-round UV, daily SPF is not optional — it is the foundation everything else is built on.
The texture problem
Most people skip sunscreen because it feels heavy, greasy or leaves a white cast. A lightweight silicone gel format solves this — it spreads thin, absorbs fast and sits well under makeup, so you actually want to wear it every day.
What to look for
- Broad spectrum SPF 50 PA+++ for both UVB (burning) and UVA (ageing, pigmentation).
- Non-comedogenic so it will not trigger breakouts.
- Bonus actives like niacinamide and vitamin C that help fade dark spots while you protect.
KoriumX Sun checks all three boxes and is suitable even for acne-prone skin.
How to use it right
Apply a generous amount 15 minutes before stepping out, and reapply every 3–4 hours if you are outdoors. Sunscreen is the last step of your morning routine, every day — cloudy days included.
