Product Information
Full details
The Institut Esthederm Sun Intolerance Face Cream is specifically formulated for individuals with hyper-reactive or sun-allergic skin who struggle to find comfortable, high-protection sunscreen. By protecting cellular DNA and optimizing the skin's energy environment, it effectively minimizes adverse reactions to solar exposure and prevents photo-ageing; however, users should note that consistent, frequent reapplication is mandatory to maintain its efficacy against intense UV exposure.

FAQs
Can this be used during pregnancy?
Yes, this formula is suitable for use during pregnancy, though you should always consult your dermatologist if you have specific concerns.
Does it replace my daily moisturizer?
While it offers protection and some skin-supporting benefits, those with very dry skin may prefer applying a light moisturizer underneath.
Can I use this if I am on medication that causes light sensitivity?
Yes, this cream is specifically recommended for individuals whose skin is prone to light sensitivity due to medication.
Is this sunscreen water-resistant?
The product requires reapplication after swimming, so ensure you apply a fresh layer immediately after exiting the water.
Can I use it as a night cream?
Yes, it is excellent for soothing sunburn irritation and can be applied in the evening to calm the skin.
How long should I use it before my trip?
For best results, it is recommended to begin using the cream two weeks prior to your sun exposure to help prime your skin.
Troubleshooting
Visible white residue on skin
Apply a smaller amount and massage it gently into the skin until fully absorbed before applying makeup.

Ensure you are applying the product 20 minutes before exposure and verify that you are reapplying every hour or after contact with water.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To integrate this product into your skincare routine, use it as the final step in your morning regimen before applying makeup. If you are preparing for a vacation in a sunny climate, start using the cream daily two weeks prior to your departure to help your skin adjust. Store the 50ml tube in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to ensure the stability of the active ingredients. Always ensure the cap is tightly closed to prevent the cream from drying out.
