Suncros Matte Finish Soft | Sunprotect Gel | Review
I know it’s monsoon and sunscreen is our last problem but I really needed to make this post before I mixed this sunscreen in my body lotion bottle. Why? You’ll get to know the reason soon! By the way, I was on a sunscreen hunt when I landed upon Suncros Matte finish sunprotect gel. I googled its reviews and found many. After being satisfied by them, I finally decided to buy one for myself. Let’s decode this product and find out whether it is a hit or a miss.
Price: Rs.575 for 50g and has a shelf life of 24 months.
Availability: Suncros sunscreens are easily available accross local pharmacies as well as at all ecommerce sites (Nykaa, Flipkart, Amazon.in).
Ingredients: Cyclopentasiloxane, Zinc Oxide (Micronized), C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate, Dimethicone Cross Polymer, Caprylyl Methicone, Isostearic acid, Polyhydroxystearic acid, PEG-12 Dimethicone/PPG-20 Crosspolymer, Tocopheryl Acetate
Packaging: It comes in a simple plastic tube with a comparatively wide opening. which doesn’t control the flow of product whatsoever.
Texture: This sunscreen by Suncross has the weirdest texture I’ve seen so far. First of all, it smells of plastic, chemicals and rubber which is not at all pleasant. Also, the texture is highly siliconey (more towards slippery side) which is not at all uniform. There are lumps of a soft formula in a whitish fluid. Once you try to take out the product, mostly you’ll get a little dollop of cream and milky fluid along with it.
Efficacy: It doesn’t get absorbed into the skin completely, it just sits on the top. This is not at all an ideal base for makeup. It makes a thin layer of grease on the face which feels a little uncomfortable and heavy. Also, this will make oily skinned people get more oily. (“Might” be suitable for winters though).
Claims:
Matte finish: Not at all!
Chemical agent free: Yes! (It means it is free of chemical sunscreen ingredients)
Water resistant formula: Probably No! Because it makes my skin super oily and the product can easily melt away with all the oil.
Sunprotect gel: This is definitely not a gel formula!
My verdict on Suncros Matte Finish Soft Sunprotect gel:
Summing up the positives: This sunscreen has zinc oxide and is totally free of chemical sunscreen ingredients (like oxybenzone, avobenzone, octisalate, octocrylene, homosalate and octinoxate). Hence it makes it suitable for sensitive skin and acne prone skin. It didn’t break me out either. Also, it is suitable for babies above 6 months. It has SPF 50 with PA+++ which definitely protects the skin from both UVA and UVB rays, which is a HUGE plus point.
Coming to the cons: The texture is very weird, leaves a little white cast and takes forever to get absorbed into the skin. Dry skinned people might like this but people like me (combo/oily skinned) will definitely not like this. This just adds grease and oil on skin giving it an uncomfortable feeling.
For me, this is not an ideal choice of sunscreen. But I’ll definitely mix it with my body lotion and use further because there’s no chemical sunscreen and is pretty safe.

It does look a bit pricey, also the white cast is such a put off!
Nice and very informative post…. Thanks for the honest review.
Its been ages since I used a chemical sunscreen and I totally hate something that smell plastic and chemical-ish. This is totally a skippable product for me. And thanks for sharing your honest review. So many people would be saved from wasting their money on this product.

I was actually pretty excited to read this one as I thought it’d be a gel formula 😐 😐 Def skipping this
You know Bhumika, I just hate those products which left me a white cast. So this is not for me at all. Honest opinion.
Thanks for such a great and honest review. I too dont like this sun screan coz of its white blends on face that looks weird.and its sticky form will irritate me. So no to this product.

Ye to bilkul bhi thik nahi lag raha, thank god ki aapke honest review se kitne logo ko fayeda hua
Bilkuk!! Ye oily skin ko toh zara bhi suit nahi karega. Bohot heavy lagta hai. Haan body ke liye use kar sakte hain.
I have the same view regarding this. Keep this away and use during winters, then it works well. At summer it is a horrible mess. Doesn’t save skin from tanning as well. I tested this during one of my beach holiday.
I was really worried thinking only I have negative views on this!! So glad that there is someone out who shares similar views. 🤗🤗
I saw its positive reviews online and thought it would be best for my oily skin but your review is an eye opener. Definitely giving this a miss!
