Side Effects Of Sunscreen

H, I am selvaraj form chennai, India. I m here to ask certain details regarding sublocks and hyper pigmentation. I am suffering from acne scars(black spots) and hyper pigementation for almost 10yrs now, i ve tried many products prescribed by dermatologists over these years, but nothing have worked for me yet. But now finally i decided to use Meladerm, while searching the information about this product, i came to know that, i should use a sunblock cream along with it. so i consulted a doctor and he prescribed me a sunblock called Photoban 30(spf). I want to know wether its a good sunblock when dealing with UVA,UVB rays, if not please prescribe me a good sunblock . I have oily and sensitive skin . For your convenience i ve also attached the ingredients of photoban 30. Any help would be appreciated,Thank you and Have a good life......
