OMI Verdio UV Moisture Gel Sunscreen SPF50+ PA++++ 220g

OMI Verdio UV Moisture Gel Sunscreen SPF50+ PA++++ 220g (Verdio UV Moisture Gel N) is a Japanese gel sunscreen for face and body from The Omi Brotherhood (近江兄弟社). It is made with sensitive skin in mind. The light, fresh gel gives very high UVB and UVA protection and keeps skin moisturised with five plant extracts. The large 220g size is great for families and for daily full-body use, which makes it a practical pick for Bangladesh's strong sun and long, hot summers.

Key Benefits

• Very high UV protection: SPF50+ helps prevent sunburn and tanning, while PA++++ gives the highest Japanese UVA rating against rays that cause dark spots and early ageing.
• Fresh, moisturising gel: The watery gel spreads easily and keeps skin hydrated without a heavy or greasy feel.
• Waterproof: The formula resists water and sweat, which helps it last longer in humid weather.
• Made for sensitive skin: It is a low-irritation formula that the brand says has been allergy-tested and patch-tested.
• Five "free-from" claims: It is made without fragrance, colourants, mineral oil, parabens and ethanol.
• Face and body in one: The large 220g size makes daily full-body sun protection easy and good value.

Key Ingredients & How It Works

• UV filters (Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate, Ethylhexyl Triazone, Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine, Titanium Dioxide): A broad mix of modern filters that covers UVB and both short and long UVA rays.
• Centella Asiatica Extract: A well-known soothing plant extract that helps calm and condition the skin.
• Job's Tears (Coix Seed) Extract: A traditional Asian moisturising ingredient that helps keep skin smooth.
• Moringa Seed Extract: A plant extract added to help keep skin in good condition.
• Scutellaria Root and Edelweiss Extracts: Plant extracts that add moisture and help condition the skin.
• Glycerin, Butylene Glycol and Vitamin E: Humectants that draw in water, plus vitamin E to help condition the skin.

How it works: The water-based gel spreads into a thin, even layer. Its UV filters absorb and scatter UVB and UVA rays before they can harm the skin. At the same time, the moisturising plant extracts and humectants keep skin hydrated. The brand also says the gel helps protect skin from dryness and pollen. The waterproof film helps it stay on through sweat.

Skin Type & Suitable For

• Suitable for all skin types: normal, dry, combination and oily skin.
• Made with sensitive skin in mind. Its low-irritation, fragrance-free and ethanol-free formula is a good choice if many sunscreens sting your skin. Do a patch test first.
• Great for family use and for covering large areas like arms, legs, neck and back.
• Ideal for daily commutes, outdoor work, travel and beach or pool trips.

How to Use

1. Apply as the last skincare step: In the morning, after your moisturiser, take a generous amount of the gel.
2. Face: Dot it on your forehead, cheeks, nose and chin, then spread it evenly. Include your neck and ears.
3. Body: Apply it in lines on your arms, legs and other exposed areas, then spread it in circles so it covers evenly.
4. Apply before going out: Put it on about 15 minutes before sun exposure.
5. Reapply: Reapply every 2–3 hours outdoors, and always after swimming, heavy sweating or towel drying.
6. Remove at night: Wash it off carefully with your usual face cleanser and body wash.

Important Suggestions

• Always patch test on your inner arm 24 hours before your first use, especially for children and sensitive skin.
• Use sunscreen every day. UV levels in Bangladesh are high all year, even on cloudy days.
• Don't use too little. A thin layer gives less protection than the SPF on the label, so apply generously, especially on your body.
• Keep reapplying in humid weather. Waterproof sunscreens still wear off with sweat and wiping, so top up during long days outside.
• Keep it away from your eyes. Rinse well with water if it gets into your eyes.
• Don't apply it on broken skin, wounds, rashes or sunburned skin.
• Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Don't leave it in a hot car or at the beach in the sun.
• Stop using it if redness, itching or irritation happens.
