Sunscreen is a volume game, and the ₹/ml spread is 1.5×

You're supposed to use ~¼ teaspoon on the face, daily. A 30ml tube is ~3 weeks. So ₹ per ml matters more here than anywhere else in your routine.

SPF 50SizePrice₹/ml·g
Foxtale Glow SPF 5050ml₹349₹7.0
Dot & Key Watermelon SPF 50+80g₹595₹7.4
Derma Co 1% HA Aqua Gel SPF 50125g₹1,249₹10.0
Minimalist Light Fluid SPF 5030ml₹332₹11.1
  • The order changed mid-month. Dot & Key led this table at ₹6.0/g on 11 July, came off a storewide discount on the 15th, and now sits second behind Foxtale.
  • Minimalist keeps bouncing inside its own discount window: five different prices — ₹314, ₹315, ₹325, ₹332 and ₹349 — across sixteen moves in our 48-day log, and ₹332 today. The MRP has stayed ₹349 throughout. That is a store moving the sale price, not the product getting cheaper.
  • Only one of the four prints a CTRI clinical-trial registry number you can look up (The Derma Co: CTRI/2025/02/080287). Checkable claims deserve credit.

₹/ml says nothing about texture, white cast, or how it sits under makeup. This is just the arithmetic nobody does.
