Diagnosis of sunscreen residue on skin with portable Raman microscope by Li, Yihan

“…It is well known that ultraviolet ray (UVR) irradiation can cause cutaneous damage, hence dermatologists encourage people to use sunscreen to absorb or reflect a number of the sun's UV radiation on the skin exposed to sunlight. In recent years, sunscreen is extensively used in our daily life to protect the damage to our skin by the sun. …”
