Sun Protection for Face

Protect Your Face from UV Damage

Daily facial sunscreen is arguably the most important product in any skincare routine — it prevents premature ageing, hyperpigmentation, and long-term skin damage caused by UV exposure. At ARC Store, our face SPF collection features 17 brands, with Heliocare, Dermalogica, La Mer, TirTir, and Laneige leading the selection.

SPF 30 vs SPF 50 — How Much Protection Do You Need

SPF 30 filters out about 97 per cent of UVB rays, while SPF 50 offers about 98 per cent — a small numerical difference but meaningful for fair skin or high-UV environments. The Heliocare Gel Colour Light is a tinted SPF that provides high protection with a natural skin finish. Their Ultra 90 Gel SPF 50+ delivers very high protection in a transparent gel format suited to all skin tones. The Dermalogica Powerbright Pure Light Moisturiser SPF 50 combines sun protection with brightening ingredients.

Sunscreen Textures That Work Under Makeup

One of the biggest barriers to daily SPF use is finding a formula that works well under makeup. The Dermalogica Active Clearing Oil Free Matte SPF 30 is designed for oily, breakout-prone skin and sits well under foundation. Their Protection 50 Sport SPF 50 is more robust for active days outdoors. The TirTir and Laneige ranges offer lightweight, hydrating SPF options popular in Korean skincare routines that layer seamlessly under makeup.
