Why SPF 50 Matters
India’s UV index frequently crosses 8–11. While SPF 30 blocks 97% of UVB, SPF 50 blocks 98%. That 1% difference, combined with daily car commutes and window exposure, is critical for preventing hyperpigmentation in melanin-rich skin.
The PA++++ Standard
SPF measures UVB (burns). PA measures UVA (pigmentation/aging). PA++++ is the highest rating available, providing the maximum defense against deep-penetrating UVA rays that trigger dark spots.

Melblok Pigmentation Control Day Cream SPF 50+ PA++++
This is more than a sunscreen. It is a Protection + Correction formulation designed for the Indian climate. It targets existing pigmentation while providing extreme-level UV shielding.
🥈 Gel-Based SPF 50
Excellent for strictly oily skin with a matte finish. However, they rarely include active ingredients to correct existing dark spots or melasma.
🥉 Mineral SPF 50
Best for very sensitive or post-procedure skin using physical blockers. Often leaves a noticeable white cast on deeper Indian skin tones.
Dermatologist's Application Tip
Most people under-apply sunscreen, reducing protection by up to 50%.
- ✔ Use the Two-Finger Rule for face and neck.
- ✔ Apply 15 minutes before leaving home.
- ✔ Reapply every 3 hours if outdoors.
Pollution x UV
In Delhi and Mumbai, pollution particles (PM2.5) synergize with UV rays to create "Oxidative Stress." This doubles the melanin production. Your sunscreen must provide antioxidant defense alongside UV filters.
