Neobrella · Reviewed by Shine With Samia · Published 2026-04-07
Based on a review by Shine With Samia (accessed 2026-04-07).
Based on this review alone: worth considering for provides high spf 60+++ protection (claims up to 90 spf), but contains wax, leading to a heavy skin feel is a real trade-off.
The reviewer recommends Sunliv SPF 60 PA+++ as her most favorite and highly effective, oil-free option for all skin types. Other top recommendations include Barrier Sunblock, Neobrella (for dry skin), and Jenpharm Kids Sunblock. She advises against Mothercare SPF 30, Jenpharm Spectra Max SPF 100 Tinted, and Rivaaj sunblock due to their heavy, oily, or ineffective nature.
This video reviews 13 popular sunscreens in Pakistan, primarily focusing on their oiliness and texture using a blotting paper test. The reviewer evaluates each product for factors like white cast, absorption, suitability for different skin types, and ingredient concerns over a three-hour period.
Despite its high protection claims, Neobrella Sunscreen SPF 60+++ disappoints as it feels heavy on the skin and absorbs slowly. While it passed the oil test, the inclusion of paraffinium and wax contributes to a greasy feel. This sunblock is suitable only for dry skin. If you have dry skin, this product might be suitable; however, if you have any other skin type, you should look for alternatives.

The reviewer uses blotting paper to perform an 'oil test' on 13 different sunscreens, explaining that UV tests don't reveal oiliness.
hands_on_demonegativet=5:32–6:03
The Mothercare SPF 30 lotion released a significant amount of oil in the blotting paper test. The reviewer also notes it's heavy, doesn't absorb quickly, has a strong fragrance, and contains wax, making it potentially comedogenic and providing incomplete protection.
hands_on_demomixedt=6:03–6:33
Solaris 60+ released a 'little bit' of oil, described as a consistent amount for nourishment and acceptable. It has a slight white cast that vanishes, absorbs well, and is suitable for combination/dry skin but may peel on oily skin.
hands_on_demopositivet=6:33–6:58
Solarin 60 also released a 'very मामूली' (minimal) amount of oil, which the reviewer highly recommends. It provides a matte finish, is non-comedogenic, and is suitable for oily to combo skin, although it sometimes peels and isn't compatible with Vitamin C.
reviewer_claimmixedt=2:54–3:15
The Ray-Ban SPF 30 sunblock is noted for its thick cream consistency, slight white cast, and suitability for combination skin and body use, providing protection. However, a minus point is the lack of ingredient information.
hands_on_demonegativet=3:24–3:49
Jenpharm Spectra Max SPF 100 Tinted is described as comedogenic, containing paraffins and wax that make it feel heavy on the skin. The reviewer is shocked by its oiliness, stating it's like an 'oil factory' and not to insult her discount code by buying it.
hands_on_demomixedt=3:49–4:24
Jenpharm Spectra Block SPF 60 PA++ passed the oil test, releasing no oil. However, it contains wax and paraffin, which can make it feel heavy, sticky, and potentially cause breakouts, though it's suitable for combination and dry skin.
hands_on_demomixedt=4:24–4:56
Neobrella SPF 60+++ passed the oil test. It provides protection and is non-comedogenic but includes wax, making it feel heavy and not quickly absorbed, specifically recommended for dry skin.
hands_on_demopositivet=4:56–5:31
Jenpharm Kids Sunblock SPF 50 PA++ passed the oil test and is praised for being lightweight with no white cast, providing good protection. It's suitable for kids, teenagers, and even adults new to sunscreen.
hands_on_demopositivet=7:59–8:26
Sunliv Sunblock SPF 60 PA+++ passed the oil test with absolutely no oil, making it the reviewer's favorite. It's described as oil-free, non-comedogenic, super lightweight, and protective, suitable for all skin types.
hands_on_demonegativet=8:26–8:44
Rivaaj sunblock is declared the 'worst' and an 'oil factory' by the reviewer, performing extremely poorly in the oil test. She urges the brand to create a better product.
hands_on_demopositivet=7:03–7:49
Barrier Sunblock SPF 50+, a gel sunscreen, showed only a 'very minimal' stain in the oil test, which is highly recommended. It's lightweight, non-comedogenic, oil-free, provides protection with no white cast, and prevents oiliness/sebum, suitable for all skin types except dry.
hands_on_demomixedt=7:49–8:09
Glow & Lovely SPF 30 with Vitamin C did not release oil, which surprised the reviewer. However, she states it's not a proper sunscreen but rather a 'sunscreen plus fairness cream' type.
hands_on_demomixedt=8:09–8:34
Nexton sunblock also released no oil, which was another shocking result for the reviewer. Despite this, she questions its protection ability, describing it as a basic lotion that is affordable.
For oily and acne-prone skin, the reviewer highly recommends Sunliv SPF 60 PA+++ and Barrier Sunblock SPF 50+. Sunliv is praised as oil-free, non-comedogenic, and super lightweight. Barrier Sunblock is a gel, also oil-free, non-comedogenic, and prevents sebum, suitable for all skin types except dry.
Jenpharm Kids Sunblock SPF 50 PA++ is lightweight with no white cast. Sunliv SPF 60 PA+++ is described as super lightweight. Barrier Sunblock SPF 50+ is a lightweight gel that also leaves no white cast.
Jenpharm Kids Sunblock SPF 50 PA++ is specifically designed for kids and teenagers, praised for being lightweight, non-white cast, and providing good protection. Sunliv SPF 60 PA+++ is also recommended for teenagers and suitable for all skin types, making it a versatile option.
The reviewer explicitly states that Sunliv SPF 60 PA+++ is oil-free and non-comedogenic, performing perfectly in the oil test. Barrier Sunblock SPF 50+ is also highlighted as non-comedogenic and oil-free, showing minimal oil in the test.
Mothercare SPF 30 is too oily, heavy, and provides poor protection. Jenpharm Spectra Max SPF 100 Tinted is described as an 'oil factory,' heavy, and comedogenic. Rivaaj sunblock is labeled the 'worst' for its extreme oiliness. Glow & Lovely SPF 30 and Nexton Sunblock, while passing the oil test, are questioned for their actual sun protection capabilities, being more like fairness creams or basic lotions.
The reviewer's top five sunscreens are Ray-Ban (for body/combo), Barrier Sunblock, Neobrella (specifically for dry skin), Jenpharm Kids Sunblock, and Sunliv Sunblock (her favorite, for all skin types). She strongly advises against Mothercare SPF 30, Jenpharm Spectra Max SPF 100 Tinted, and Rivaaj sunblock due to their heavy, oily, or ineffective performance.
