Daily high protection that also works on blemishes, shine and marks
Vichy Capital Soleil UV-Clear Anti-Imperfections Water Fluid is a very high protection facial sunscreen for combination to oily, blemish-prone skin, including sensitive skin. Its formula pairs broad UVA and UVB filters with niacinamide and salicylic acid, which work together to reduce blemishes, excess shine and the look of post-acne marks. Netlock technology forms an even film on the skin that resists water, sweat and sand and does not run into the eyes. Used daily, it mattifies for up to 12 hours and leaves an invisible finish on all skin tones. Hydrolyzed rice protein and vitreoscilla ferment complete a formula designed to be gentle enough for sensitive skin.
The texture
An ultra-light water fluid that spreads in seconds and dries down to a matte, invisible finish. It sits well under makeup and does not feel greasy or heavy on oily skin, even in heat. Because the finish is matte rather than dewy, it also works as a light primer, and a small amount of mineral pigment helps it blend into light and deeper skin tones without a grey cast. Shake the bottle well each time so the filters stay evenly mixed.
Who it suits
- Combination to oily skin that shines by midday
- Skin with blemishes or red and brown post-acne marks
- Anyone using acne treatments or acids who needs daily SPF
- Sporty days outdoors, thanks to water, sweat and sand resistance
- Teenagers and adults from 12 years old
Worth knowing before you buy: it contains denatured alcohol and fragrance, which give the fast, dry finish but can sting very dry or irritated skin. If your skin is dry rather than oily, a creamier sunscreen will feel more comfortable. Reapply after swimming, sweating or towelling.
How long one bottle lasts
Used every morning on the face and neck, the 40ml bottle lasts around four to six weeks. On sunny holidays with reapplication every two hours, count on about three weeks, so take a second bottle for a long trip.
