SVR Sensifine AR Anti-Redness + Rosacea Cream SPF50+
Product summary
The ingredient list suggests that "SVR - Sensifine AR Anti-Redness + Rosacea Cream SPF50+" can provide reliable sun protection. It can protect from both UVA and UVB rays. This is great news because 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).
Its formula is also hydrating, so you might not need an additional moistruizer during the day. Like all broad-spectrum sunscreens, this product helps prevent early signs of aging.
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 2.60% - 3.10%, uvinul a plus 6.50% - 8.00%, octinoxate 3.60% - 4.40%, uvinul t 1.10% - 1.40% and ensulizole 0.60% - 0.90%.

Sensifine AR Anti-Redness + Rosacea Cream SPF50+

| dipotassium glycyrrhizate | LOW |  | |
Other benefit: Moisturizing
What does the product description say?
Targeting both permanent and temporary redness, including visible fine blood vessels, the moisturising treatment will soothe sensations of overheating while inhibiting further flare-ups.
This product can help improve hydration of the skin with the two types of ingredients.
The first type is called “humectants”:
these ingredients help attract water.
When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from
within deeper layers of the skin. The following ingredients in this product do the job:
arginine, glycerin.
This product also contains ingredients called “occlusives”. They help reduce the speed with which our skin loses moisture to the outside environment. These ingredients also help soften the upper layer of the skin, so it feels less tight and nicer to the touch. The following ingredients in this product do the job: arginine, dimethicone.
| Ingredient | Effectiveness | Concentration | Irritancy |
|---|---|---|---|
| squalane | HIGH | | |
| dimethicone | HIGH | | |
| glycerin | HIGH | | |
