Everyday face sun protection that keeps dry, sensitive skin comfortable
Avène Sun Very High Protection Cream SPF50+ is a face sunscreen for dry and sensitive skin. It combines broad-spectrum filters with TriAsorB, Avène's patented filter that covers UVA, UVB and high-energy visible light. Glycerin and Avène Thermal Spring Water hydrate and soothe for up to 8 hours, and a vitamin E derivative adds antioxidant support. The finish is invisible and non-shiny, so it sits well under makeup.
The texture
A velvety, melting cream that feels comforting on tight skin and dries down without a greasy sheen. It is water-resistant and does not leave a white cast.
Who it suits
- Dry and sensitive facial skin that feels tight in the sun
- Daily city wear as well as beach days
- People who wear makeup over their sunscreen
- All skin tones, phototypes I to VI
Worth knowing before you buy: this version contains fragrance. If your skin reacts to perfume, choose the Avène fragrance-free fluid instead.
