Ekran Soft Silicone Sunscreen Gel SPF 50+ PA+++ Review: Lightweight, Matte & Perfect for Summer


Hello Everyone,

Hope you all are doing well!

Summers are here in full swing—and while we all love those bright, golden sunny days, our skin definitely doesn’t feel the same way. Let’s be real—between the heat, tanning, and constant UV exposure, our skin is usually the one taking the hit.

Unlike winters where dryness is the main concern, summers bring along tanning, sunburn, pigmentation, and long-term skin damage. That’s why sunscreen isn’t just an option—it’s absolutely non-negotiable. Because honestly, no skincare routine works if we skip this one step.

But finding the right sunscreen? That’s where the real struggle begins. I used to avoid sunscreens because of that heavy, greasy feeling—until I found something that actually felt comfortable on my skin.

After using it consistently through peak summer days—and already being on my second tube—I’m finally sharing my honest experience with the Ekran Soft Silicone Sunscreen Gel (SPF 50+ PA+++).


Let’s get right into the review.


          

Product Description:


Not Just a Sunscreen—It’s Skin Protection + Comfort

Ekran Soft Silicone Sunscreen Gel (SPF 50+ PA+++) is a dermatologically recommended sunscreen designed to provide broad-spectrum protection against harmful UVA and UVB rays, while still feeling super lightweight on the skin.

What it claims?

  • Provides broad-spectrum sun protection
  • Helps prevent sunburn, tanning, and pigmentation
  • Lightweight, non-greasy silicone-based formula
  • Suitable for oily, acne-prone, and sensitive skin
  • Gives a smooth, matte finish

How is it used?
Using it is very easy:
Take a pea-sized amount and apply evenly on your face and exposed areas at least 15–20 minutes before stepping out in the sun.
Don’t forget to reapply every 2–3 hours, especially if you’re outdoors for long durations.

Composition:

Key ingredients:  It is enriched with:
  • Silicone base – Gives that smooth, velvety texture and blurs pores
  • UV filters – Protect skin from harmful UVA & UVB rays
  • Vitamin E (in many formulations) – Helps in protecting and nourishing the skin
It is generally non-comedogenic, lightweight, and suitable for sensitive skin types.


First Look:

The sunscreen comes in a simple, compact tube packaging that gives a very clinical and dermatologist-trusted vibe—something I personally feel more confident using on my skin.

It’s lightweight, sturdy, and super travel-friendly, so you can easily carry it in your bag without worrying about leakage.


Texture:

The texture is honestly the highlight of this product.

It’s a clear, smooth, gel-based formula that feels almost like a primer when you apply it. It glides effortlessly on the skin and blends within seconds.

No white cast, no stickiness, and absolutely no greasy feeling—which is such a relief, especially in hot and humid weather.

It leaves behind a soft, matte, velvety finish that actually makes your skin feel fresh rather than heavy.


My Take:

When it comes to sunscreens, I’ve always struggled with one thing—they either feel too heavy, too oily, or make my face sweat like crazy.

But Ekran Soft Silicone Sunscreen Gel turned out to be quite different.

A little backstory—at one point, I was dealing with dull-looking skin, and that’s when I decided to visit a dermatologist. She recommended a very simple routine: a good moisturizer, sunscreen, and just a light layer of powder to set everything. That’s when I was introduced to this sunscreen.

Since then, I’ve been using it along with my Cetaphil moisturizer underneath, and honestly, this combination has worked really well for me—even though I have dry skin.

From the very first use, I noticed how lightweight and breathable it felt. It didn’t clog my pores or cause any breakouts, which is always a concern, especially with sunscreens.

What I loved the most is the matte finish. My skin didn’t look shiny or greasy even after hours, and it actually worked beautifully under makeup—almost like a primer. And saying this from a makeup artist’s point of view—trust me, that’s a big plus.

During peak summer days, it helped reduce tanning and protected my skin whenever I had to step out in the sun. Of course, consistency is key with any sunscreen, but this one made it so much easier for me to stay regular because of how comfortable it feels.

Having already finished one tube and now using my second, I can confidently say this has become one of my go-to sunscreens for daily use.

Are There Any Side Effects?

Let’s be honest—every skin is different, and reactions can vary.

But in my personal experience, I didn’t face any irritation, redness, or breakouts while using this sunscreen. It felt very gentle and skin-friendly.

Still, if you have extremely sensitive skin, doing a patch test is always a safe choice.


Pros of Ekran Soft Silicone Sunscreen Gel (SPF 50+ PA+++):

Will I purchase it again?
Yes, definitely! I’m already on my second tube, and it’s one of those sunscreens that you actually enjoy using—and that makes all the difference.

Will I recommend it?
Absolutely! If you have oily, sensitive, combination, slightly dry, or acne-prone skin and are looking for a sunscreen that feels light, non-greasy, and comfortable for daily wear—this is definitely worth trying.
It protects your skin without making it feel heavy, which is exactly what we need during summers.
And personally, I love how beautifully it sits under makeup—almost like a primer—which makes it even more practical for everyday use.
