Based on the ingredient list, we assess that "Eau Thermale Avene - Suncare Very High Protection Sun Cream SPF50+ for Dry Sensitive Skin" can provide reliable sun protection. We love that it can protect from both UVA and UVB rays (not all sunscreens with SPF ratings give UVA protection. UVA rays do not cause sunburn, but still damage our skin and lead to early aging).
It contains good moisturizing ingredients and can double as a hydrating day cream. Like all broad-spectrum sunscreens, this product has an anti-aging benefit.
Sunscreen filters
This sunscreen uses so-called "chemical", or organic UV filters (organic simply means that their molecules contain atoms of carbon). These filters typically give good sun protection and rarely leave a white cast, but they can be irritating for sensitive skin. Here are the exact UV filters in this sunscreen: tinosorb s 1.60% - 1.90%, uvinul a plus 4.70% - 5.80%, uvinul t 3.70% - 4.50% and triasorb 2.10% - 2.60%.
