Not fit me

Sss

I have only used this sunscreen once and had to wash it off due to the white cast. I am only light olive and it's Winter, but still, it made me look ghostly pal...
  1. Hand pump sunscreen

    Jane

    This sunscreen is very moisturising. It comes in a small tube with a pump measure, that is very convenient for being on the go.
  2. White cast

    Jane

    Sadly I went so pale with the white cast on this one. I passed it onto a friend who had the same experience too. 2 stars for sun protection value and no adverse reaction, but only if you don't mind looking like you have a lot of sunscreen on.
  3. Good but..

    Sandra

    First of all, this product does what it says. It provides strong coverage with a Matt finish. But the pump only dispenses a very small amount and is low quality. The texture of this cream is thick and hard to spread. It feels quite heavy going on and would suit oily skin.
  4. Ok but not perfect for dry skin

    Mali

    As a SPF it is a good product and I dont get reaction from the SPF50 (which I sometimes get from some products), however as I have dry skin this feels a bit too dry and also a bit of white cast, so not the best for under make up. Wish these two were resolved and it would be the best.
  5. a bit sticky

    mani

    i used it for a couple of days and for some reason it made my face red and was a bit thick too. the redness went away almost instantly
  6. Amazing!

    Katie

    This sunscreen is amazing! No oily residue or shine. Doesn’t break me out and sits nicely under makeup. Got as a free sample and will definitely purchase the full size.
  7. Sunscreen i don't react to

    Ashlie

    After trying Ultra violent queen screen and clean screen sunscreens and reacting, i was a bit disheartened, i love the adore beauty podcast but my sensitive skin really reacts to certain sunscreens. I got a sample of this sunscreen in another order and thought i would try it. No reaction, no heat feeling. Sometimes with sunscreens, even if i'm not burning, i can feel my skin heating up when the su...

  8. Fragranced

    Lily

    This product skins into the skin really nicely and does not leave a white cast on my skin. It also has a fragrance that dissipates after a short amount of time. But as someone with sensitive skin, I would rather not run into the risk of getting an irritation.
  9. Fab!

    LLP

    Lovely smell that’s doesn’t linger.
    Goes on lovely, no sticky feeling
  10. Sensitive girls dream

    Amy

    Fantastic sunscreen! Light, non greasy and pleasantly smelling. Great for sensitive skin, giving me the protection I need minus the rash and discomfort of other brands.
  11. Not the one for me

    Renee

    I wanted to try a new sunscreen as many of my usual ones have been discontinued. I react to a lot of spf products and unfortunately this was one of them (though I get that this is more to do with my skin than the product). I also found the texture a bit sticky and unpleasant, but not so bad that I wouldn't have persisted if not for the reaction.
  12. Perfect sunscreen

    Mumera

    I have struggled to find a decent sunscreen that doesn’t irritate my skin. I would always break out in a rash. Not with Avene sunscreen, this does not irritate my skin, it is perfect! Light, non greasy, very mild fragrance.
  13. Sunscree

    Nell

    Love this sunscreen, will definitely be purchasing to use. Easy to apply, the kids especially don't complain and no irritation to our skin which is fantastic.
  14. Perfect for sensitive skin

    Mona

    I love the way this product blends with my skin and with my make up. It does not feel greasy or heavy. It has a very subtle fragrance and it does not irritate my sensitivity skin.
  15. The best sunscreen

    Michelle

    When I go running, it makes me feel like my skin can breathe. Enough said. As far as I am concerned, this is the best sunscreen. The best sunscreen, is the one you use. Avene makes it easy to use!!!!
  16. Sun-smart in style

    Lovely

    The pump took quite awhile to get working but when it did it was light, absorbed quickly, and had a lovely fragrance
  17. A great sunscreen

    Laura Thomas

    I am normally someone who uses the same sunscreen once I find one that works but I was very keen to give this one a go. It was smooth and easy to apply and had a great smell compared to other sunscreens on the market. I was pleased with the results and look forward to using it in summer.
  18. Love it

    Jayne

    I love Avene products and this one doesn't disappoint. Lightweight silky smooth and pleasant sun protection for the face. Doesn't feel like you're wearing sunscreen at all. No mess applicator and handy little packaging to keep in your handbag.
  19. Light weight protection.

    JaimeC

    I really liked this product. The sun cream wasn’t heavy on my skin. It felt greasy when I rubbed it in but I was surprised to find it didn’t actually feel greasy once it set in.
  20. Pleasant, smooth

    Jacqui

    It smells nice, it applies nicely on the skin. The packaging has a nice feel, and the pump action helps to squeeze small amounts out.
  21. Great packaging

    Em90

    Love using this sunscreen the packaging makes for easy application.

    Zoe123

    Great product - its not sticky like some sunscreens can be, feels light on the skin, and the protection is awesome. I love that this sunscreen comes in different sizes as well, the larger ones are great to keep at home or in the car, and the smaller ones are perfect size for handbag or pocket.

  26. It has a white cast

    Cherry

    I tried to like it but couldn’t. This has a white cast and i feel it isn’t the best sunscreen .. i felt it is not great under makeup too. I have oily skin and it broke me out
  27. A better product than before

    Zling

    Quick easy to apply and seems better in general in terms of application and texture to the older Avene Sunscreen product
  28. Light and protective

    Ashleigh

    The Avene sunscreen felt very light on my face and not oily like most others.
  29. Clean feeling

    Great!

    Really enjoyed this product. Non greasy, smell is not offensive, and rubs in really well. Protected me in the peak burning times!

    I loved how this product worked. I used it in the 40 deg Australian sun and didn’t get burnt.

  33. A Summer MUST!

    Flick

    I love the non-greasy formula and how it doesn't make my face super white. No overpowering scent. Overall great product and can easily be worn daily under makeup!
  34. Really impressed

    BekB

    I really like this sunscreen! Lightweight, absorbs well and quickly, doesn't leave my skin greasy and doesn't clog my pores and cause break outs. Really impressed!!
  35. Lightweight full SPF coverage

    bea5667

    I love this sunscreen. It sits nicely under makeup and isnt sticky or heavily scented.
  36. Lightweight

    Hel89

    Avene Sunscreen Emulsion is a lightweight sunscreen. It has a nice smell and doesn't feel greasy. It felt like a moisturer to me. I like that it is SPF50
  37. Light, non-greasy, absorbs well

    Lozz

    Light, low odour, non greasy. Great little size for my handbag for sunscreen needs on the run. Absorbs well into face and doesn’t leave shine.
  38. Great product in both looks and function.

    Stacka

    Beautiful packaging. I love the non-greasy formula. No overpowering scent. Overall great product.
  39. Fantastic coverage

    Khya

    I absolutely loved this sunscreen. The packaging is eye catching and the simple detail on the box allows you to see all the of benefits with one glance. The sunscreen smells lovely and glides on and absorbs into the skin incredibly well and the coverage is fantastic.
  40. Love it!! Not greasy, rubs in well. Great for the whole family.

    Kel

    Perfect. Loved it. The entire family got involved and tried it with no complaints. I love how it’s not greasy and feels like you have nothing on your face when applied. It’s the best sunscreen I’ve ever used.
  41. Love how easy it is to apply, doesn’t feel as greasy as most sunscreen I have used in the past. Love the packaging too.

    Stacka

    Beautiful packaging. Very easy to apply and non-greasy with no overpowering scent. Love this product.
  42. Nice product

    Tere

    It is a good product, the packaging is very eye catching but for me it’s a bit sticky and a bit itchy if i put it on my face
  43. My favourite Sunscreen

    Emma

    I love this sunscreen, I love the pump application, it’s easy to use and absorbs quickly. I like that it isn’t super greasy and also doesn't break me out. An added bonus is that it doesn’t have a strong smell like other sunscreens.
  44. Scene SPF50

    Kyley79

    I actually did like this sunscreen. It's not as oily as some of their other variants although you really have to make sure you rub it in properly as otherwise you'll see white streaks on your face. It has a nice consistency and the tube has a stylish but classic appeal to it. I like that it's also SPF50+ as that makes for good coverage and protection.
  45. Pump!

    Sez1990

    This has become a firm favourite.

    This sunscreen is super gentle with minimal fragrance, doesn't sting around the eyes and even worked on my super sensitive toddler.

    The texture is really nice, quite tacky at first but dries fairly quickly. The consistency makes it easy to apply properly, not too runny or thick. It leaves the skin feeling moisturised and doesn't feel heav...

    Sonya

    First time user and Wow! I am impressed. From the pump top of the bottle to the fact that it honestly doesn’t feel like you are wearing sunscreen. I love that there is low/no odour, there is no sheen and after hours wearing it and sweating I couldn’t even tell I had it on (in a great way). Some other creams feel rough, drying and make my face sting when I wash them off but this one had no ill effe...

    Best sunscreen I’ve ever tried. Non greasy, light and suitable for the whole family!
  49. Sunburnt no more!

    LeleM

    Loved how easily this sunscreen blended into my skin. I have sensitive and very fair skin and found no reactions at all, feeling light whilst still providing great protection. Whilst it left my skin a little shiny, I would still use and recommend!
  50. Summers Gold

    Lala

    I loved it!! I would definitely buy it over what i originally used. My favourite product by far... felt light but gave full coverage. Loved it!!
  51. Creamy protective barrier

    Lindy

    Nice creamy texture goes on the skin nicely and
    Absorbs well with no oily greasy residue
  52. Does the job!

    Taysk

    At first I was super keen to try this sunscreen out, especially under my make up for every day wear. The bottle comes with a pump which is great, love that. Upon applying, I found my face went SUPER white. I didn’t apply any make up but went swimming instead. After going under the water, the sunscreen turned even whiter.

  54. Amazing

    Mary273

    This sunscreen exceeded my expectations. It did not make my skin oily at all and had no affect on my foundation. Also smells amazing.
  55. Absolutely protection perfection

    Danielle

    I absolutely loved this product! This does not feel or smell like a sunscreen and glides on like a moisturiser. I spend a lot of time in the sun and it provided fantastic protection and coverage. I like the fact that it was non greasy and I didn’t even know I had it on. My skin wasn’t shiny and tacky like with my usual sunscreen and it smells Devine!
  56. Great skin protection

    Cassie

    I loved the feel of it on my skin. I felt safe using it and my skin didn’t look oily. The only thing I didn’t like was the pump on the bottle. It didn’t really work well for me.
  57. Lightly scented protection

    Mummykins

    This is a beautiful lightweight sunscreen that doesn't have any oily residue or an overpowering scent. It sits perfectly under make-up and you don't need to use too much to cover your face.It comes in a bright orange tube that is easy to use and delivers just the right amount of sunscreen with no wastage.This sunscreen caused no irritation which is a bonus for me as I have sensitive skin.
  58. Light, smooth, lovely

    Kym

    Love it. Light and pleasant smelling. Leaves my skin feeling extra soft and smooth.
  59. It’s ok

    Belle

    I liked that it didn’t have much of a scent but I did find it took a bit to rub in, I found it did make me have a bit of a white cast so had to rub longer than I normally would and it felt a bit greasy to me
  60. Light comfortable effective

    Linda

    It’s very light weight and comfortable to apply. Goes on well and was very easy to use

  63. Best facial sunscreen on the market

    Loveyaguts

    I am obsessed with this sunscreen. I have used it everyday for a week which included a 3 day camping weekend and I have absolutely no sunburn. It is light, non-greasy and super quick absorbing. It sits beautifully under make-up and does not leave a white residue

    Barbi

    First thing I noticed when I squeezed out the product is that it smells good, but not the overpowering smell. I liked it! I love how it sets on the face to a powder finish and it doesn't leave a white cast. This Avene sunscreen emulsion is really perfect to apply under a makeup or just it self as it not sticky and shiny. You can just apply the avene sunscreen, then fix your eyebrows, dab a little ...

    A great emulsion for the face. Didn't get that usual sticky feeling like you get from other sunscreen after application, Love the smell and ease of applying it. Even my partner loves it when i shared it with him. He didn't get a burn. Asked me to stock up more.
  69. It has you covered and protected

    Nat

    It was quite thick to spread on my face but I could rub it in but I thought it made my face look a bit white. But I liked how it didn’t make my face look shiny. It also didn’t have a strong odour
  70. It works

    kjj17

    It works. I used it on my entire family who all have sensitive skin and no one was burnt or had a reaction.
  71. Amazeeeeee!!

    CJ

    Being extremely fair skinned, all I need to do is sit in the sun for 10 mins and I’m burnt. I have tried many of sun creams over the years , some work , a lot dont. I found that Avenue Sunscreen DID work for me ! Yay! It’s super easy in the little pump pack and lid- stops any leaks in your bag!

    Simone

    PROS: Nice smooth and non-greasy application. Leaves minimal white cast when I don't use makeup. Even though it's supposed to be matte finish, it leaves a dewy finish over my face after my skincare routine. However it is matte on my neck where I don't apply any skincare. Provided enough sun protection, I didn't get new sunspots or sunburn.

    Great coverage. Goes on well and doesn’t leave your skin feeling greasy. Has a pleasant smell.
  81. Good for sensitive skin

    Tina

    My skin is ridiculously sensitive to sunlight and at times even with sunscreen it tends to trigger rashes and inflammation after 1-2 hours of exposure. This product is one of the sunscreens I find that have worked for me and it has a pleasant texture without leaving too much of a white cast. So for those who are still looking for a sunscreen that works for them I recommend giving this one a try.
  82. Amazing for my skin

    Winneybear

    This sunscreen is so light but so effective. Perfect coverage for my "glow in the dark" pale skin. No irritation or any problems with sensitivity either. Great product
  83. Nongreasy and light

    reasonsiismile

    Bit of shiny after applying but no greasy which I like and light to skin which feels like nothing has been applied which I loved it
  84. Easy Hydrating Coverage

    Sammy489

    I was impressed overall with this product. I will continue using it as I found it easy to wear on its own or even over makeup and whilst currently on a beach holiday - we’ve managed to not get burnt! Very impressed as it also hasn’t cause my skin to breakout as some sunscreens do
  85. Definitely give it a swirl.

    I bought this sunscreen for the third time. The sunscreen effect is really good. It is much better than other sunscreens I have used. The moisturizing effect is very good, and it is not greasy and forms a film quickly.

    It’s a lovely light consistency. Leaving skin feeling fresh and protected. I wasn’t sure how well it would work being so light. But I’m happy with the protection I was provided by using Avene sunscreen.

    I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the product. It wasn't greasy and rubbed in perfectly. The coverage was great, & worked perfectly!
  100. Finally a sunscreen that’s not oily and works!

    HbytheSea

    I really like how it feels on my skin. I’m really fair and burn easily. I found that Avene sunscreen emulsion protected my skin from the harsh sun and I could spend hours at the beach without burning.
