Whether you’re basking on the beach or battling harsh UV rays on your daily commute, sunscreen and a good face wash are essentials you just can’t skip. Lotus Herbals has been a go-to brand for herbal skincare in India, and their latest Safe Sun Sunscreen Serum SPF 60+ and Radiance Boost Ubtan Face Wash promise to take sun care and skincare to the next level. I tried both—and here’s what I found.
1. Lotus Herbals Safe Sun Sunscreen Serum SPF 60+ (UltraRX)
What it claims:
This sunscreen serum promises ultra-high protection with SPF 60+ and PA+++, specifically designed for acne-prone and sensitive skin. It’s water-based, lightweight, non-sticky, and is said to offer broad-spectrum protection against UVA & UVB rays. Plus, it includes Hyaluronic Acid for hydration.
My experience:
Let me just say—this sunscreen serum is a summer must-have! The texture is feather-light and absorbs almost instantly without leaving any white cast or greasy film, which is a huge win for those with oily or acne-prone skin. It feels more like a serum than a sunscreen, and that makes it perfect under makeup or on its own. My skin felt hydrated but not oily, thanks to the hyaluronic acid.
I wore it outdoors during peak sun hours, and it held up impressively well. There was no stickiness, no breakouts, and it didn’t melt off even after hours. It truly lives up to the “no acne breakout” claim.
Best for:
- Oily, acne-prone, or sensitive skin
- People who hate thick, greasy sunscreens
- Daily sun protection in hot and humid climates
2. Lotus Herbals Radiance Boost Ubtan Face Wash
What it claims:
This face wash is infused with Turmeric, Sandalwood, and Rose Water, three Ayurvedic powerhouses. It promises to gently exfoliate, remove tan, and leave the skin brighter and refreshed. It’s suitable for all skin types and is paraben-free.
My experience:
This Ubtan Face Wash brings a luxurious feel to the start (or end) of the day. The texture is creamy with a mild exfoliating grit, perfect for everyday use. The herbal scent is calming—think turmeric warmth with a hint of rosewater freshness.
After a week of use, my skin felt smoother and definitely looked more radiant. It helped reduce dullness and light tan patches without feeling abrasive. It also didn’t strip my skin of moisture, which is a plus if you wash your face multiple times a day. The turmeric and sandalwood combo worked wonders to calm my skin and keep minor blemishes at bay.
Best for:
- Dull, tanned, or tired-looking skin
- Natural exfoliation without harsh scrubs
- All skin types, especially those looking for herbal solutions
Final Verdict:
Why this duo works:
If you’re out in the sun often, this duo offers the perfect protection-cleanse combo. The Sunscreen Serum shields your skin without suffocating it, while the Ubtan Face Wash revives and refreshes it at the end of the day. Together, they help maintain a clear, glowing complexion while preventing damage and dullness.
Bonus:
The current offer includes a FREE Ubtan Scrub when you buy the sunscreen serum (with a minimum cart value of ₹599)—so it’s a good time to grab this power pair!
