Acne Focus Month

The A-Thera Sunblock is a gel-cream sun block that glides smoothly onto the skin, and blends in easily, without leaving a white cast. It has a matte like finish, and does not leave a shiny residue. Its lightweight consistency does not clog pores making it suitable for oily and acne prone skin.  

As a physical (mineral) sunscreen, that uses Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide, the sun block works by forming a protective barrier on the surface of the skin to help reflect UV rays away from it. At SPF 50+ PA+++ it provides high UVA protection as well. 

Formulated with Centella Asiatica extract, the A-Thera Sunblock also calms irritated or sensitive skin, while Bamboo Water and Celtic Water deeply hydrate the skin. It therefore also maintains oil-water balance and regulates sebum production. The sunscreen also enhances the skin's natural barrier with Maca Root Extract that aids in its strengthening, and provides sebum care.
