OMI Primabene Perfect UV Gel N SPF50+ PA++++ 80g

OMI Primabene Perfect UV Gel N SPF50+ PA++++ 80g is a moisturising Japanese gel sunscreen from The Omi Brotherhood (近江兄弟社), the company behind the Menturm brand. It gives very high protection from both UVB and UVA, and it is made to keep skin soft and hydrated while it protects. The formula has ceramide, placenta lipids, squalane, rose hip oil and collagen, plus colloidal platinum. It is a good everyday choice for anyone in Bangladesh whose skin feels dry or tight, including mature skin, and who still needs strong protection from the year-round sun.

Key Benefits

• Very high UV protection: SPF50+ helps block the UVB rays that cause sunburn and tanning, and PA++++ gives the highest Japanese rating for UVA protection against rays linked to dark spots and early skin ageing.
• Long-lasting moisture: Ceramide, squalane and rose hip oil help keep skin soft, so it doesn't feel tight or dry after you apply sunscreen.
• Care for mature skin: Placenta lipids and collagen help make up for the moisture that skin naturally loses with age.
• Smooth, easy texture: The gel spreads easily and blends into the skin, with a soft, healthy glow instead of a heavy, greasy layer.
• Ethanol-free formula: It has no added ethanol, so it can suit people who find alcohol sunscreens drying or stinging.
• Four "free-from" claims: It is made without fragrance, colourants, mineral oil and ethanol.

Key Ingredients & How It Works

• UV filters (Zinc Oxide, Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Ethylhexyl Triazone, Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate): A mix of a mineral filter and chemical filters that together cover UVB and UVA rays.
• Ceramide NP: A skin-identical lipid that supports the skin barrier and helps hold moisture in.
• Placenta Lipids: A conditioning ingredient that helps keep dry skin soft and supple.
• Squalane: A light, non-greasy oil that softens skin and reduces moisture loss.
• Rose Hip Oil (Rosa Canina Fruit Oil): A nourishing plant oil that helps keep skin smooth and comfortable.
• Isostearoyl Hydrolyzed Collagen: A collagen-derived moisturiser that helps skin feel smoother and more supple.
• Colloidal Platinum and Vitamin E (Tocopherol): Colloidal platinum is added as a moisturising ingredient, and vitamin E helps condition the skin.

How it works: The UV filters form an even protective layer on your skin. Zinc oxide reflects and scatters UV light, while the chemical filters absorb UVB and UVA rays before they can damage the skin. At the same time, the moisturising ingredients soften the skin and support its barrier. This way, your skin stays protected and hydrated through the day.

Skin Type & Suitable For

• Best for normal, dry and combination skin, and for skin that feels dry in air-conditioned rooms.
• A good match for mature skin that wants both sun protection and extra moisture.
• Can suit people who are sensitive to alcohol, because it is ethanol-free. Do a patch test first.
• Very oily skin may find it a little dewy in peak summer. Use a small amount or blot during the day.
• Note: It is not paraben-free. The ingredient list contains methylparaben and propylparaben.

How to Use

1. Finish skincare: In the morning, apply your usual toner, serum and moisturiser, and use this sunscreen as the last skincare step.
2. Take enough: Take a generous amount in your palm. For the face, about two finger-lengths of product is a good guide.
3. Spread evenly: Dot it on your forehead, cheeks, nose and chin, then spread it evenly without missing any area. Don't forget your neck and ears.
4. Let it settle: Wait a minute or two before applying makeup.
5. Apply before going out: Put it on about 15 minutes before sun exposure.
6. Reapply: Reapply every 2–3 hours when you are outdoors, and again after sweating heavily, swimming or wiping your face with a towel.
7. Remove at night: Wash it off with your usual cleanser at the end of the day.

Important Suggestions

• Always patch test on your inner arm or jawline 24 hours before your first use.
• Wear sunscreen every day, even on cloudy or rainy days. UV rays in Bangladesh are strong all year, and UVA passes through clouds and windows.
• Reapply often in hot, humid weather. Sweat and wiping your face remove sunscreen, so top it up during long days outside, commutes or outdoor events.
• Keep it away from your eyes. If it gets into your eyes, rinse well with water.
• Don't use it on broken skin, wounds, rashes or skin that is already irritated.
• Store the tube in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Don't leave it in a hot car or a sunny window, and close the cap tightly after use.
• Stop using it if redness, itching or stinging happens.
