Since the beginning of summer my go to sun protection has been their

newly launched

Avène SPF50+ Intense Protect

It's an innovative lightweight fluid offering very high UV protection 

with ultra water resistance.

It's a Broad Spectrum High Protection, making the 

Intense Protect 50+ it suitable for all skin types, 

including the most sun-sensitive skin:

babies as of 6 months, children, pregnant women, very light phototypes

 that lack natural melanin, damaged skin, post-tattoo or skin suffering

 from the effects of cancer treatments.

Intense Protect 50+ is also suitable for all types of exposure and also

 the most extreme and demanding conditions for sun protection: 

high altitudes, high seas, dry climates, humid

tropical heat, and nautical sports.

It can be used on both the face and the body, however I have used it mainly

on my body, as I had sun protection for my face that I had to finish.

Key ingredients include:

 Patented TriAsorB

 an innovative sun filter inspired by the natural protective properties of melanin.

 It absorbs and reflects harmful UVB, short & long UVA rays, as well as 

high-energy visible blue light. 

Pre-tocopherol

is a photostable precursor to Vitamin E and offers powerful antioxidant benefits.

 Avène Thermal Spring Water

is known for its soothing, softening, and anti-irritating benefits.

This SPF is Ultra water-resistant, Sweat-resistant and Fragrance-free.

This SPF has served me very well during the past few, 

hot and humid months.

It offers super fast absorption, feels dry to the touch and has a

 transparent finish and it also

provides good hydration (8hrs they claim) and more importantly leaves

 no white marks.

So if you are looking for intense high protection or an everyday SPF 

for the whole family, then this is certainly one to consider.

DERMACEUTIC SUN CEUTIC 50+ UNIVERSAL SHADE (REVIEW)

Now I do love me a good, high SPF sunscreen with a tint and have opted for a tinted one over non tinted for several years now. However the choice of tinted sun protection

is, to say the least, limited.

My go-to has been the BIODERMA  PHOTODERM MAX SPF 50+ TINTED AQUAFLUIDE

To read my full review

I was kindly sent from DERMACEUTIC their Sun Celtic 50+ Universal Shade and I have been

putting it to the test over the past few weeks.

For those that haven't heard of Dermaceutic:

Dermaceutic Laboratoire is a French cosmeceutical company and the partner of choice for over 30,000 Aesthetic Dermatology Specialists throughout the world. It was one of the first laboratories to develop products using ingredients such as Hyaluronic Acid, Vitamin C Complex, Retinol and Glycolic Acid

Dermaceutic Sun Ceutic 50+ Universal Shade is a physical sunscreen with a tint that provides maximum protection for skin exposed to UV rays. 
 This universal tint has been tested locally up to Fitzpatrick skin type 4 and I'm happy 
to report that it does not leave an ashy or white residue.

Key ingredients include powerful UVA/UVB filters with SPF 50 to protect the skin. 

The dispersed micro-mineral filters allow the cream to be completely transparent while maintaining efficacy.I found there to be very little tint with this product,so if like me you

are looking for a multi-tasking, tinted, high SPF product then the 

Dermaceutic Derma Defense DD Cream may be more suitable.

 However the formula of the Sun Ceutic 50+ is quite unique,as it contains the following:

 A powerful Stem Cell Stimulator that accelerates epidermal restoration, helping to smooth out the appearance of wrinkles.

Mineral filters Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide form a stable physical barrier against

 UVA and UVB rays. 

Hyaluronic Acid, a molecular ‘sponge’ has the power to retain water providing hydration and suppleness to the skin. 

Aloe Vera to soothe the skin and reduces inflammation. 

It also Paraben-free. 
Fragrance-free. 
Oxybenzone and Octobrylene-free
and is not tested on animals.

Whilst being suitable for all skin types including sensitive or rosacea-prone skin, as it will help to slightly cover imperfections & reduce inflammation
this would also be a great product for those with a more oily or acne prone skin, 
whether that be young or old, male of female, this lightweight and non greasy sun protection cream can be use as a moisturiser/sunscreen/anti-ageing without the
 need for any other moisturisation or product. 

As you can see this product is packed with ingredients to combat premature ageing,
which renders this product far more than just a high protection factor sun cream...
