Dr Sheth's range of sunscreen and skincare products is currently the talk of the town and we can see why. Formulated especially for Indian skin types, their formulae are science-backed and quite effective. This gel-based sunscreen has an ultra-matte texture that leaves a velvety dry finish and active ingredients like niacinamide controls excess sebum production and prevents breakouts, while Centella Asiatica extract soothes and calms irritated and inflamed skin.
