Description
Overview of the medicine
Siodil Gel Cream SPF 30 is a broad-spectrum sunscreen that offers protection against both UVA and UVB rays. It helps prevent sunburn, premature skin aging, and reduces the risk of skin cancer. Its non-greasy, gel-cream formula also provides moisturizing benefits, making it suitable for various skin types.

Dosage

Apply liberally and evenly to all exposed skin areas 15-30 minutes before sun exposure. Reapply every 2 hours, or immediately after swimming, sweating, or towel drying.
