ALPHA-H Daily Essential Moisturiser SPF 50 ( 50ml )
The retail price is £29 for 50ml.
It works out at INR 2,600 plus shipping to India. Give it a miss and save the shipping and taxes worthwhile

Shahnaz Husain Sun Block SPF 60 PA+++
The retail price (at the time of writing) is INR 455 for 100g. This is at the low end for a surprisingly not hideous product.

Brillare Science Sunscreen Radiance SPF 30 PA+++
Not a fan of this product. Contains Oxybenzone, which is a “no,no” for me. Priced very reasonably at INR750 for 100ml

VLCC Matte Look Depigmentation SUN SCREEN GEL CRÈME SPF 30 PA+++
This is a sunscreen that does not get the sunscreen 101 formulation correct. You don’t need to use it.
Retail price: INR 295 for 100g so is it really a bargain?

kaya skin clinic Sweat-Proof Sunscreen SPF 30+
At INR 975 for 60ml, this is one of the pricier sunscreens. Price is not per se an issue if the product passes the sunscreen test.

AVEIL SPF 50 Gel
An extremely popular Made in India sunscreen, that is reasonably priced (MRP: Rs 699 for 50ml), does not make the cut. My view: Give it a miss
