Ranbaxy's Suncros Gel with SPF 26

Summer is here and with the scorching heat of the sun, it is important to invest in a good sun block or sunscreen to avoid getting tanned. I have tried numerous sunscreens, even the Neutrogena sunscreen with SPF 100 and Lotus Sunscreen range, but I find Suncross the best sunscreen that is available in India.

Suncros gel was suggested to me by one of my cousins.  I first thought that it is purely gel based; however, when I bought this sunscreen, I was disappointed to see the white cream, but the sunscreen completely lives up to its gel quality.

There are a few things you need to know about a sunscreen:

  • Pea-size amount of sunscreen doesn’t help with sun protection.  According to dermatologists, a teaspoon of sunscreen should be applied to the face for complete protection.
  • You shouldn’t vigorously rub sunscreen onto your skin as it nullifies the effect of the sunscreen by a whopping 60%, you just need to tap the sunscreen on your skin.
  • All the leading sunscreens in the market leave a white cast on my face whenever I apply them in copious quantities (which I seriously hate).  Zinc-based Suncros is a gel-based sunscreen and doesn’t leave a white cast no matter what amount you apply.

Cons of Ranbaxy’s Suncros Gel with SPF 26:

  • As soon as I apply the sunscreen, I feel that my skin has become oily (but slight dabbing of compact powder over it fixes this problem).
  • The sunscreen is only available in SPF26 formula.
  • Suncros gel doesn’t mention anything about PA+++ and doesn’t even mention anything about protection from UVA or UVB rays.
  • The packaging is weird, I have to fold the whole tube into two halves so that I can squeeze out the sunscreen.

  1. OMG… I was advised to use this product when i was suffering from chronic acne.. :waaa: :waaa: and den i completely forgot about it.. 😥 😥 thanks for reminding… 🙂 🙂

  2. Hey Anjum,

    Thanks for the review! Do u find this SS prevents tanning at all? It seems like a pretty good SS, both UVA & UVB protection should be covered.

    1. Yes it helps in preventing tanning, I usually apply copious amounts of this sunscreen before going out and I make sure to reapply it again after 3 hours, it definitely helps:)
