Troubleshooting
Sunscreen feels greasy after application
Ensure you are applying the correct amount (35ml for adults) and rubbing it in thoroughly until absorbed. Excessive amounts or incomplete application can lead to a greasy feel.
Sunscreen appears ineffective, leading to sunburn
Verify that the sunscreen was applied liberally to all exposed areas 15 minutes before sun exposure and that the SPF 10 is adequate for your skin type and the intensity of the sun. Reapplication may be necessary after swimming or excessive sweating, despite the 'once-a-day' claim, if conditions are harsh.
Skin irritation after use
Discontinue use immediately. Consider performing a patch test on a small area of skin before applying again. If irritation persists, consult a healthcare professional.
Sachet is difficult to open
Use scissors or carefully tear along the designated notch if available. Ensure your hands are dry when attempting to open.
