Common questions about day creams for oily, acne-prone, pigmented skin
No. Hydrating or brightening day creams do not replace broad-spectrum sunscreen. UV and visible light are major drivers of darkening and melasma, so daily SPF 30 or higher is essential even if your moisturizer targets pigmentation. [6]

Common questions about day creams for sensitive, pigmentation‑prone Indian skin
No. Even the best brightening or hydrating day cream cannot replace a separate broad-spectrum sunscreen. UV and visible light can darken spots and trigger new pigmentation in all skin tones, so daily SPF (ideally SPF 30 or higher) is non-negotiable if you care about uneven tone. [6]
