Avène Mineral Sunscreen Multi-Defense Fluid SPF 50

This is a really nice option if you’re looking for a gentle, physical sunscreen. It has a watery formula, which can make application a little tricky at first, but it absorbs well and feels very lightweight once it’s on. It’s alcohol- and fragrance-free, which is super important to me since I’m sensitive to a lot of formulas and ingredients. Plus, it doesn’t sting my eyes at all — a huge win. While it does leave a slight white cast on facial hair, it’s much better than most physical sunscreens I’ve tried. It also has some great skin-beneficial ingredients like niacinamide, allantoin, vitamin E, and bisabolol, which help soothe and support the skin barrier. If you prefer to avoid chemical sunscreens or are sensitive to stinging, I would definitely recommend this. It’s a great choice for anyone with sensitive skin!

This sunblock goes on smoothly. It’s not greasy and it feels light on your skin. I’ve used it several times and will never go back to my old sunscreen. I highly recommend it.

Omg. Love this sunscreen honestly, it does leave a white cast. But it works and it’s hydrating and doesn’t make my skin look greasy or oily.

I love this face lotion, especially for the hot summers where the sun just agitates my face. But I don’t like how pale it makes my face. A couple of people have pointed out as to why I was so pale and it’s all because of face lotion… I love it, but would be moving with tinted from now on…

I’m a guy, a dude, I’ve only used whatever sunscreen was available to me. After taking a minute to seek out a “premium” one, I decided to shell $30 to prove to myself it was just marketing. Not the case: this stuff is nice, I forget it’s on me after 5 minutes of it setting. The viscosity helps it spread, and no scent is a bonus - can use it on fresh tattoos. Doesn’t clog my pores, and you don’t need to use a lot to get good protection. Going to keep using it this summer and next

This lotion is very sticky and feels very heavy. I love their non SPF face lotion so much and I wanted to love this but I can’t stand it on my skin.

Once upon a time, I had an Avene sunscreen. It was gentle, effective, left no white caste, and was virtually free of fragrance. But the Evil Queen of Cosmetic Reformulations grew jealous that young women so loved a product that kept their skin fair. She devised a scheme that every few years, a new formula would grow in the place of an old beloved one. Her minions worked tirelessly on this dark alchemy. You never knew when it was coming: what would they add in, what would they remove? Then the Evil Queen expanded her empire from the delightful province of France, known for its gentle skincare, into the dog-eat-dog world of America, known for pouring industrial waste into its toothpastes. And then ... well, the excrement really hit the oscillator. Everybody got confused. Suddenly, there were 2+ inferior products taking the place of a once single, superior one. And I've tried them all and they made me cry, and they left my skin looking pale - and I'm not actually tryin' to be Snow White here, folks. And this one? It made my nose run and my eyes red; and while it may have protected me from the sun's harsh rays, it made it no fun to go out at all looking like an irritated, allergic, ghostly mess! Raise your hand if you want to grab your pitchforks and put down the Evil Queen of cosmetic reformulations once and for all!

I put off buying this product for months bc I thought it was kinda pricey. I’m so glad I bought it though. It doesn’t sting in my eyes when I sweat, it doesn’t pill up if ruin makeup application, it is high spf so good protection, I have sensitive skin and it doesn’t irritate whatsoever, and it completely disappears without any white cast or greasy feeling. 100% recommend it and I will definitely repurchase. I use it on my kid too bc it’s just as gentle as kid/baby spf but it doesn’t leave a white cast.
