A milky, very high protection sunscreen for sensitive skin at the beach
Avène Very High Protection SPF50+ Body Lotion is a very high protection sun milk for sensitive skin on the face and body, suitable for the whole family. Its filter system offers broad UVA and UVB protection, while pre-tocopheryl, an antioxidant, helps shield skin cells from sun-related stress. Avène Thermal Spring Water brings its soothing, softening touch, so skin stays comfortable and supple through long days outdoors. The milky texture spreads easily over large areas without leaving a heavy film.
The texture
A fluid, milky lotion that glides over arms, legs and back in a few strokes. It absorbs quickly and leaves a soft, lightly moisturised finish rather than a sticky layer.
Who it suits
- Sensitive skin that reddens or reacts easily in the sun
- Families who want one lotion for the face and body
- Beach, pool and holiday days with long exposure
- Adults and children from 3 years
Worth knowing before you buy: it contains fragrance and chemical UV filters. Very reactive or allergy-prone skin, or babies under 3, may do better with a fragrance-free or mineral formula. No sunscreen gives full protection, so reapply often and avoid the midday sun.
How long one bottle lasts
Sunscreen should be applied generously. For one adult covering the whole body, the 250ml bottle lasts about a week of daily beach use; for face, arms and legs only, around two to three weeks.
