Avene Very High Protection Emulsion SPF 50+

So expensive. Just ok/fine product. Not worth the high cost. Very hard to use the dropper.

White residue and burns eyes – Considering this is a face specific sun cream is disappointing to find that it leaves a white residue on the skin/white tinge. It’s also stings your eyes like crazy. If you sweat on the face (who doesn’t in Australia in summer) id avoid, even if you avoid applying around your eyes, this cream is very much not water proof so fr example sweating of the forehead causes the product to run down your face to the eye area. As I also mentioned, not even moisture proof where sweat is concerned so you couldn’t wear this on a day out where you’d sweat at all.

A must to protect your skin from the sun – Before buying this product, I tried several other sun screen creams, but I was always disappointed. Either they didn't protect my skin enough, or their scent was too strong or the texture was too oily/creamy. After a bad outburst of rosacea (due to the sun), my dermatologist suggested to buy Avene Emulsion SPF 50+. It was a great advice: this emulsion is protecting my skin, the texture is not oily and I can use it as a base for my makeup.

It comes in a 50ml bottle with a pump, so it is also easy to apply and I can carry it in my bag.

If you have skin problems or the sun is particularly strong where you like, I would suggest to try this sun screen.

It's paraben-free and water resistant.

Unfortunately it is not available in all the chemists/supermarkets, so usually I have to buy it online.
