Product Information

Full details

This Avene Sun Care sunscreen cream is designed for adults with dry, sensitive skin seeking high facial sun protection. Its key benefit is providing a rich, moisturizing, and non-greasy finish with broad-spectrum UVB-UVA protection and a soothing effect from Avène Thermal Spring Water. A potential caveat is that while it offers a comfortable texture, it is specifically formulated for sensitive facial skin and may not be ideal for other purposes or skin types without consideration.

Troubleshooting

Product feels sticky or heavy on the skin.

Ensure you are applying a thin, even layer. Allow the product to fully absorb for a few minutes before applying makeup or additional products. For very dry skin, ensure adequate hydration from previous skincare steps.

Skin irritation or redness after application.

Discontinue use immediately. Review the full ingredient list for potential allergens. Sensitive skin may react to certain components, even in dermatologically tested products. Consult with a dermatologist.

Sunscreen effectiveness seems reduced.

Ensure the product has not expired (check packaging for lot number and expiration date). Reapply frequently, especially after swimming or sweating, and ensure an adequate amount is applied (typically 1/4 teaspoon for the face).

Tube is difficult to dispense product from.

Ensure the cap is fully removed and the nozzle is clear. Gently squeeze the tube. If the product has thickened due to extreme temperatures, try warming it slightly in your hands.
