TL;DR: One of my holy grail sunscreens; it will give you a glow! If you are acne-prone, there is an adjustment period. Probably best to avoid if you have fungal acne.
I can't remember how I decided to try this; I think it was after my success with Slurp's Preparation B5 because it contains similar ingredients. Anyhow, you can find this in most pharmacies, and it's not expensive for the amount Show more
Very similar to the non uv version, and it applies just as easily. I really like how moisturizing and relieving it feels. I wish it had the same uv filters as the european lrp products or asian sunscreens though. If it did, this would be holy grail status

So, I've been trying to heal my skin from using too many actives, and I tried this 8 indregient moisturizer since I know Avene is very recommended for sensitive skin.
As a combo/oily skin gal in a country (France) where they all have dry skin, its hard to find lightweight moisturizers; but this might be the epitome of a lightweight moisturizer that won't clog my pores.
The texture is very Show more
When applied on barrier-damaged areas the skin turned red and tingling a bit for some seconds. Lightweight but the hydration doesn't last very long, need to reapply often in dry countries. Haven't try the balm version for dry skin yet. Some ingredient may trigger reaction when applied on sensitive state skin.
