The details
Everything else, in plain text
How to use it
Step 1: Cleanse and moisturise first. Sunscreen goes on last, over everything else.
Step 2: Apply two finger-lengths for your face and neck. That is roughly 2 ml, and it is the amount SPF 50 is actually tested at. Use less and you get less than SPF 50 - there is a slider on this page that shows you how much less.
Step 3: Blend it in properly, including your ears, hairline and the back of your neck.
Step 4: Reapply every two hours of sun exposure. SPF 50 behaves like SPF 50 for about two hours, then it is a smaller number.
Use it every morning, including indoors and on overcast days. UVA passes through window glass.

Day 1
It disappears
No white cast, no film. Immediate, or it has failed.

You will not see this. That is the point.

What's in it
What is actually in this bottle
Five UV filters, five skin actives.
UV filter
Tinosorb S
Covers UVA and UVB
Holds the SPF 50 rating without weight. A filter, not a treatment.
UV filter
Uvinul A Plus
Blocks long UVA
Targets UVA1, behind tanning and premature ageing. The rays cheaper sunscreens miss.
UV filter
Uvinul T 150
Blocks UVB
UVB is what burns you. This filter carries most of the SPF number.
UV filter
Octinoxate
UVB support
Blends into fluid textures. Part of why this absorbs in seconds.
Skin active
Niacinamide
Evens tone. Works slowly.
Uneven tone and the look of pores, over weeks. Does nothing for old scars.
Skin active
Centella Asiatica
Calms redness
Why sensitive skin gets on with this. Not a treatment for rosacea.
Skin active
Sodium Hyaluronate
Binds water into skin
Protection without dryness. It holds water. It does not replace a moisturiser.
Skin active
Willow Bark
Keeps pores clear
Gentle natural salicylates, for pores under sunscreen all day.
Skin active
Neem
Soothes, purifies
Used in India for generations. Supporting cast, not the active.
Concessions
What it will not do
Three things it cannot fix.
Undo a tan
It prevents new damage. Existing pigmentation needs months and different products.
Work at half the dose
Less than two finger-lengths means less than SPF 50.
Treat acne
It will not clog pores and will not clear them.
2hours
SPF 50 behaves like SPF 50 for about two hours of sun. After that it is a lower number. Reapply, or accept the lower number.
Questions
Questions, answered plainly
Is this sunscreen safe for sensitive skin?
Yes, and that isn't just a word on the label. It was dermatologically tested and certified non-irritant on sensitive skin at government-approved laboratories. It's also fragrance-free and alcohol-free, since those are the two things sensitive skin usually reacts to. Patch test anyway if your skin is very reactive.
Which sunscreen doesn't leave a white cast on Indian skin tones?
Second Skin was formulated and tested specifically to blend into every Indian skin tone with no white cast or grey flash, using new-age UV filters instead of heavy mineral ones.
Does this sunscreen feel heavy or greasy in Indian heat?
It's a fluid, not a cream. It absorbs in seconds and is built to hold up through heat, sweat and humidity rather than sliding off by midday.
How often should sunscreen be reapplied outdoors?
Every 2 to 3 hours during sun exposure, and after heavy sweating. SPF 50 PA++++ isn't apply-once-and-forget, and you need roughly two finger-lengths for the full face to actually get the protection on the bottle.
What UV filters and actives does this sunscreen contain?
Tinosorb M and Uvinul A Plus for photostable broad-spectrum SPF 50 PA++++ protection, plus Centella Asiatica for calming, Niacinamide for tone, Sodium Hyaluronate for hydration, and Willow Bark and Neem for skin that congests easily.
Does Face O'Clock offer a money-back guarantee on sunscreen?
Yes, a 7-day money-back guarantee from the delivery date, including if the formula doesn't agree with your skin. It applies once per customer on a first-time purchase, with full terms on the refund policy page.
