As a pharmacist, I’m always cautious about what I recommend for skin—especially products that claim to do more than just one job. I recently tried the Plgrm sunscreen, and I have to say, it genuinely impressed me.

What stood out immediately was how moisturising it is. Many sunscreens can feel drying or sit heavily on the skin, but this one feels more like a lightweight hydrating cream. The inclusion of hyaluronic acid really makes a difference—it helps maintain hydration throughout the day without any greasy residue.

I was also pleased to see niacinamide in the formulation. From a clinical perspective, it’s a fantastic ingredient known for supporting the skin barrier, reducing redness, and improving overall skin tone. Having this combined with broad-spectrum sun protection makes the product particularly well-rounded.

It’s rare to find a sunscreen that ticks so many boxes: effective UV protection, skin barrier support, and true hydration. After trying it myself, I feel confident recommending it to patients looking for a daily sunscreen that cares for their skin, but is also perfect for Ihram.

A very thoughtfully formulated product.
