FAQs

Is this sunscreen suitable for very sensitive skin?

Yes, it is specifically formulated for dry sensitive skin and enriched with Avène Thermal Spring Water to help soothe and calm the skin.

How often should I reapply the sun cream?

Reapply generously and evenly before sun exposure. Reapply frequently, especially after sweating, swimming, or towel drying, to maintain adequate protection.

Can I use this sunscreen under makeup?

Yes, it is designed for comfortable daily wear and can be used as the last step in your skincare routine before applying makeup.

What does SPF50+ mean?

SPF50+ indicates a very high level of protection against UVB rays, significantly reducing the risk of sunburn. The 'broad-spectrum' aspect means it also protects against UVA rays.

What are the main active ingredients providing sun protection?

The product contains chemical filters such as Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate and Ethylhexyl Triazone to provide broad-spectrum UVA and UVB protection.

Is this product water-resistant?

While providing protection, the product description does not specify water resistance. It is recommended to reapply frequently, especially after swimming or towel drying.

Can babies and young children use this product?

This product is intended for adults. Keep babies and young children out of direct sunlight and use appropriate protective clothing and sunscreens formulated for their age group.

Troubleshooting

Product feels heavy on the skin

Ensure you are applying a thin, even layer. If dry skin is particularly dehydrated, consider layering a light moisturizer underneath first. Allow adequate time for absorption before reapplication.

Skin feels tight or dry after application

This product is designed for dry skin, but if you experience tightness, it may indicate a need for more thorough pre-application hydration. Apply a richer moisturizer beforehand. Also, ensure you are applying enough, as too little may not provide adequate coverage.

White cast is visible

Gently massage the product into the skin until absorbed. For very fair skin, the cast should disappear quickly. For deeper skin tones, ensure an even application and blend thoroughly. Reapplication should also be blended well.
