Sunscreen is an important part of our life nowadays. It is very important to use a proper sunscreen according to skin type.
Recently I got a sunscreen all from Kaya brand. It is named as "Kaya Ultra Light Aquagel Sunscreen SPF 25 ". The sunscreen was sent by the brand for testing purpose.
Price: - Rs.590/- for 50ml. Availability:-Nykaa.com
Little more info about the sunscreen:-
A broad spectrum sunscreen specially designed for oily/acne prone skin to provide superior sun protection against harmful UVA and UVB rays.Introducing the new Kaya Ultra Light Aquagel Sunscreen with SPF 25 that does not clog pores, thereby reducing the possibility of acne breakouts and also protects the skin against the onslaught of environmental damage. This gel based, the fragrance-free formula gives a cooling sensation with a weightless, matte finish.
Key Features:
Gel Base
Fragrance Free
Specially Formulated For Oily/ Acne Prone Skin
Does Not Clog Pores
Prevents further acne breakouts
SPF 25
Pa ++++
4 Star Boots Rating
Protects Skin Against Harmful UVA & UVB Rays
Protects Skin Against Onslaught Of Environmental Damage
Apply generously over face, neck & other exposed areas during the day, 20 minutes before sun exposure. Re-apply in a case of prolonged sun exposure or excessive sweating.
Packaging:-
The sunscreen comes in a small tube with flip cap opening. One had to squeeze the tube to take out the product. The tube is cute and small and it can easily carry in small purse while traveling.
My first thought:-
There is 50 ml of product which is actually very less in amount compared to the price we are paying. But it requires so less (like one drop for the whole face) that it will last at least one and month or more. So, definitely worth the money.
My experience:-
Kaya Ultra Light Aquagel Sunscreen SPF 25 is a sunscreen which is very light weight in texture. The sunscreen absorbs easily on my oily skin giving a matte effect. It is basically a gel based creme which is just perfect for all skin type (unless you have extremely dry skin in summer). I never tried out any Kaya products before so this is the first time that I am using any product from this brand. I am really impressed with the sunscreen as it is fragrance-free so perfect for my sensitive nose. Secondly, being an oily skin person I always break out whenever I try anything new on my face but this one suits me really well. It doesn't break me out even after using it for past three weeks. Thirdly, there is few sunscreen which oxidizes (yes you heard right...!!!) on my skin very badly and gives a tan look after some time of application but this one never oxidizes and never makes me tan even after 3 hours under the sun. The sunscreen goes pretty well in this sweaty monsoon summers. Overall I am in love with the sunscreen and I am definitely going to re-purchase it again once I end up this one.
