Sunscreens are a must have. And no matter whether you use makeup or not, or you do lot of skincare or not, if you are not using sunscreen, means you are actually letting the harsh sun rays do the damage to your skin. Thus, no matter what, you should make it a thumb rule to use sunscreens and apply them at least 30 minutes before stepping out in the sun. Now, if you are the one who is constantly exposed to sun, the need of a broad-spectrum sunscreen is important. On the other hand, if you are the one who mostly stay indoors, you can prefer a low spectrum also. Lot of theories also mention to use sunscreen even when completely indoors – I know it sounds little too unrealistic, but then if you are able to do that, it’s the best investment for your skin! In this post I am sharing my opinion about Ponds Serum Boost Sunscreen Cream SPF 55.

My opinion about the product: I have a habit of trying sunscreen from every other new launch. Thus, ponds when they newly launched this sunscreen, I had to definitely try! Ponds is such an age-old brand, and we all have grown up with it, isn’t it? Thus, I was super excited to try sunscreen from Ponds – the sunscreen is fairly decent. Ike, it has a very mild and nice fragrance, which somewhere related to that ponds cold cream. It has slight white cast, but eventually maybe after 1-2 hours it vanishes also. With a broad spectrum, which is a really plus point of this sunscreen, it is a good one within budget!
What I Like about this product…
- Has the goodness of niacinamide
- Affordable
- No sticky or greasy feeling
- Lightweight
- Very mild fragrance
What I do not like about this product…
- Mild white cast
