Bioderma Photoderm AR Spf 50+ Tinted Sun Cream Sun Cream

More suitable for dry skin, can be greasy. It doesn't provide any toning effect. It stings around the eyes, so I had to look for alternatives with mineral filters.

I purchased this product based on a dermatologist's recommendation, but personally, it didn't impress me much and I won't be buying it again. It makes my face shine like a pancake in the sun, and I can feel the cream on my skin, which is uncomfortable for me. I have combination skin.

I really liked the cream, it's a bit greasy, but it absorbs quite quickly. Cosmetics sit well on it and don't roll off.

On my oily rosacea-prone skin, this cream is perfect, to say the least. It is by far the best one I have ever tried. It doesn't make my skin any more shiny than other creams.

I have combination and problematic skin. The cream suited me and I think it will suit everyone from dry to combination, maybe it will only shine on oily skin as mentioned in the previous comments. My T-zone starts to shine by midday. Regarding the shade, it may add a slight tan on fair skin, but on my light skin, it blends perfectly.

As for the positives: the SPF is really good, I don't even need to reapply throughout the day. I went hiking - a whole day in the sun, and I didn't have any redness afterwards (I think that's already a good sign). The tone is not noticeable, but it doesn't completely cover existing redness as advertised, it can only prevent it. The consumption is average, the cream absorbs instantly into the skin.

As for the negatives: it does clog pores a bit (mine are enlarged, especially on the nose) like any other cosmetic products such as concealer. By the end of the day, the skin will shine without powder or similar products.

Overall, I recommend it, it provides great protection for the summer.

The texture is light, overall I am satisfied, but it didn't quite work for me, there is a feeling of greasiness. I will try a different one next time.

I use it every day, after applying Bioderma Sensibio AR cream. It applies smoothly, without feeling sticky or rolling off.

You should get it if you like to shine like a pie.

While it may be good at providing protection, it conflicts with other creams on the face and tends to clump and slide off. It is necessary to apply it either on a clean face or on a light gel.

I won't be buying it again.

I really like this cream. Even at the beach, my skin doesn't get burnt with it. The cream truly protects. It also works well as a BB cream. Its finish is sticky and shiny, but I actually like it.

My evaluation

I didn't buy it here, but I want to leave a review. I'm 40 years old, with combination skin prone to couperose, sensitive and prone to irritation. I was looking for a lightweight sunscreen for the summer. This cream was perfect for me! I apply it after the vitamin C serum. It nourishes my mature, dry skin well and evens out my complexion excellently. It's very lightweight and doesn't feel heavy on the skin. It may make the T-zone slightly shiny, but I like the subtle glow it gives.

For those looking for a foundation, this is not a foundation or even a BB cream! Don't expect it to magically conceal all imperfections.

But for those seeking a hydrating cream for sensitive combination or dry skin, this cream is for you. I really love it! It's the perfect option for the summer.

When purchasing, please consider that this protective cream will significantly accentuate shine for oily and combination skin. I have combination skin, mostly dry, although there is shine in the T-zone - I am satisfied. My skin is not tight or dry - finally!

I bought this cream here a month ago. It's just sitting unused. Maybe it does protect from the sun, but if it shines on my face now, it feels like I've been smeared with oil, so what will happen in the summer?! So, 368 UAH - a waste of money.

This cream is terrible. It lacks any form of protection and tends to roll off the face. Even if you apply foundation on top of it, you will still feel a dirty sensation on your face. I do not recommend it.

I have tried several types of SPF cream from this brand. Unlike other creams, this one does not leave streaks, but it does make the skin feel greasy. My skin is combination, so it might work better for dry skin. Currently, my favorite is Sunbrella SPF 30 with a tint, as well as the Transdermic emulsion - it's simply magical, although it is not cheap.

For me, this is one of the best sunscreens in its price range. I would like to express my gratitude to the makeup store for the fast delivery and the gift.

Response to Christina Lviv:

I have been using this cream throughout the whole year. My skin feels really good with it. There are no negative sensations, regardless of the season.

Unfortunately, the skin shines a lot and appears sticky. It is possible that it did not specifically suit my skin.

I purchased this product in the spring, before the intense sun. It feels a bit heavy on my combination skin, especially in hotter weather. I always powder it to avoid stickiness. It takes some time to set after application. It has a very dewy finish and slightly evens out the skin tone. The shade is suitable for everyone and gives a fresh look to the skin. It provides good protection. The amount lasted me through spring, summer, and even into autumn. I used it almost every day, especially in the summer. However, I won't repurchase it as it feels a bit too heavy for me.

I am satisfied with this cream. I took a risk and bought it for the first time, but I'm glad that it matches my skin tone so well. I don't need to use foundation after applying it. I haven't noticed any excessive oiliness on my skin, everything is balanced. The cream absorbs quickly, so I will continue buying only this one from now on.

Great cream, it doesn't cause redness on the skin, and you can't even see the foundation because it's so lightweight. Of course, it won't completely cover severe breakouts, but that's not its intended purpose.

I really liked this cream. I have skin that is sensitive and prone to redness due to rosacea treatment. The cream applies smoothly, slightly evens out my skin tone, and does not cause any major redness or discomfort. It is perfect for the summer. I will definitely repurchase this product.

Good, I have a combination skin type and this cream was recommended to me by a cosmetologist. I thought about it for a long time, weighed all the pros and cons, and finally bought it. The color is universal and adjusts to the skin tone. I apply it under my makeup and it doesn't smudge throughout the day. I am satisfied with this purchase.

Good cream. It applies evenly, feels lightweight, and doesn't cause any discomfort on the skin. After using it, my skin acquires a radiant and fresh appearance. I really liked it.

This is a great product. My face didn't get burned at all, and no pigmentation spots appeared.

The most beloved tinted cream! I don't usually like foundations, but this one I really enjoyed. It's more like a semi-tint. Gentle, subtle, and comfortable!

I started using this cream in May when the sun became more active. For the first time in many years, I didn't get any pigmentation spots. Every year, I would develop a pigmentation spot above my lip, resembling a mustache, but this year it's gone. There is no tonal effect, so I need to powder it because it's shiny. I apply it constantly before going out in the sun.

I really love this cream, our acquaintance began two years ago with a sample. I use it after moisturizer. I like that it has pigments, it evens out the tone, and adding concealer makes my face look fresher. Yes, it does stick! But if you dust it with mineral powder, it works great.

For my sensitive combination skin with rosacea in the 40+ category, the results of this product are quite contradictory and subjective. I applied a small amount and it absorbed well, the texture is light enough, but when it's very hot, there is still a greasy shine. The toning effect is almost unnoticeable in the redness area, but I haven't noticed any negative reactions, which is very comforting. I can't describe its effectiveness as a sunscreen because with my diagnosis, I hide from the sun in every possible way. I bought it as an additional means of protection purely for the summer, and for night and throughout the year, I use Sensibio Forte.

I have been searching for my sunscreen for many years. I have become desperate and resigned myself to constant breakouts and pigmentation after using various creams at different price ranges. This cream is my personal discovery. I have rosacea-prone, porous skin that is prone to breakouts.

I didn't buy this product specifically for makeup, but I will leave a review. This cream is more suitable for dry skin as it tends to leave a greasy shine after just half an hour. I have combination skin, so my face appeared very shiny. However, all high SPF sunscreens tend to make my face oily. In addition, this cream has a semi-transparent tinting effect, providing light coverage and evening out the skin tone.

I really enjoyed it.

I cannot give a definite positive rating to this cream. As for its main task, sun protection, it seems to do the job: existing pigmentation spots do not worsen, and new ones do not appear actively, but freckles still appeared in the summer.
But overall, this cream is not comfortable for me - for my combination skin inclined to dryness, it is very greasy, takes a long time to absorb, and shines actively - although usually, my skin absorbs any greasy consistency easily.
The claimed tinting does not work for me personally - in the summer, my skin easily turns red, and it does not cover anything at all, although I hoped for a "2 in 1" effect.
And some additional observations about the "peculiarities of the cream" - if by chance, you touch the mucous membranes of your eyes with the hand that applied the cream, it burns terribly, to the point of tears, for a long time.
And if you accidentally lick your lips that have the cream on them - first, it tastes salty in the mouth, then bitter, and it lasts for quite a while - I even started worrying about the condition of my liver...) That's my story with Bioderma Photoderm.

I really liked it, it provides great protection for my pigmentation.

Everything is good in this cream - it absorbs well into the skin, it is light, evens out the tone, protects and moisturizes. However, it runs out very quickly. Creams from other brands of the same volume and frequency of use somehow lasted longer. I don't know what the problem is.

My favorite product! It's the only one I use during the summer.

Great sun cream. I have oily and problematic skin with red spots on my cheeks, and this cream reliably protects me from pigmentation, mattifies, and slightly tones the skin. I apply it under my foundation from La Roche. The effect is superb! I am satisfied!

This cream is very good. It suited me better than Uriage and La Roche-Posay. Those made my face very oily and instantly clogged my pores. I have combination skin, and most products clog my pores. I can confidently say that this cream is non-comedogenic. Another plus is that it doesn't lighten or heavily tone the face. For me, this is a big plus because I have fair skin and most foundations in their lightest shade are too dark for me. I am satisfied with this cream.

Good quality. Great protection. Highly recommended.

I have combination skin that tends to get oily in the T-zone during the summer. When I apply this product, my skin immediately becomes shiny, making it impossible to go outside without anything else. It doesn't work well under makeup either, as the shine still shows through even with foundation (I haven't tried it with powder). Additionally, if there are any irritations or inflammations in these areas of my skin, it will constantly sting.
