كريم واقي من الشمس بشاشة معدنية Avene Solaires Mineral Cream SPF 50+

Good, but very thick and white, you need to apply just a little and blend it well, otherwise there will be white marks on the skin, the skin becomes slightly pale.

I don't know why my comment was deleted((
This cream does not contain ZINC OXIDE, which specifically protects against pigmentation and photoaging... So it is essential to check the composition before purchasing.

I have fair skin and my tone is practically the second lightest in all palettes. In winter, I generously apply SPF 30, and in summer, SPF 50 due to sun intolerance. I don't have pigmented spots but rather a lack of pigmentation in the thinnest areas of my skin. It looks similar to vitiligo. Therefore, I don't want any tanning because not only does it create contrast, but it also spreads discoloration.

My cream is Anthelios Ultra by La Roche Posay. It is suitable for the most sensitive skin. However, due to pregnancy, I decided to switch to a chemical-free SPF. Yes, this Avene cream with natural SPF is suitable for sensitive skin and does not irritate even under the eyes, but it creates a white mask. After using it, I look blue like Casper. I powdered on top and got a plaster effect. When I applied foundation, they seemed incompatible in terms of formula, with one separating from the other, resulting in areas of foundation and areas of paleness. They just don't want to blend properly. I am mentally preparing myself for the challenge of going to the mall and trying on foundation with a more compatible formula, preferably darker than what I normally wear. I'll do anything for the health of my child. But the amount of powder on top of the cream is theatrical and drying to the skin. After three days of this abuse, acne started to appear. I will try to blend the densest foundation on top of it and see what happens. I don't expect miracles. There is a chance that I might even give up. Or just leave it for the beach. Although the cream itself is good.

I have the impression that this is a foundation. I didn't really like it.

The cream is very white on the skin, almost like mime makeup.

It significantly whitens the skin, making it shiny and highlighting any peeling (due to its mineral composition). It clogs pores (especially in the heat, where it appears as small dots on the skin). I cannot specify its sun protection capabilities yet, but it is definitely not suitable for urban use or as a makeup base. It is simply meant to be applied on the face at the beach.

Disappointed with the purchase! I read the reviews afterwards! The fact that it leaves a white residue is just a minor issue. The bluish-pink shade it gives off is absolutely repulsive and shiny. Moreover, the main ingredient for sun protection, zinc oxide, is not even listed in the composition. I didn't expect this from Avène. Complete disappointment. 1 star.

Before buying this cream and reading negative reviews that the cream is somehow not right, it does indeed cover the skin with a white film, but it should be like this - these are physical (mineral) filters - titanium dioxide and zinc oxide of a white color. And considering that you need to apply approximately a teaspoon of cream, it is a quite thick layer and it will be very noticeable. Zinc oxide creams are suitable for people with sensitive skin, photodermatitis, and rosacea. For everyone else - if you don't have such problems, buy creams with chemical filters that match your skin type, they will not be noticeable on the skin.

This is the most useless purchase ever. The cream is blatantly white, even if applied in a very thin layer. And after using it, the face becomes very greasy, to the point that objects are reflected on the forehead)) The cream clogs pores and accentuates all imperfections. I highly do not recommend it.

Pros:
- It is a mineral sunscreen cream, which unfortunately there are few of on our market.
- It does not contain fragrances, which is especially important for sensitive skin.
- It contains iron oxides, which provide protection against visible light (in addition to the main protection against ultraviolet rays).

Cons:
- It does not contain zinc oxide, which is responsible for providing the main protection against UVA rays and therefore the main protection against photoaging in mineral sunscreens.
- It significantly whitens the face. Yes, whitening effects should be expected when using mineral sunscreens, but manufacturers still strive to solve this problem and create creams with a less noticeable white film. However, it is very visible in this case. Furthermore, it is only possible to somewhat manage the whiteness upon initial application. But since all sunscreens need to be reapplied every 2 hours, it is impossible to evenly distribute or blend this cream to make it less noticeable during the second application.
- It leaves a very strong oily shine and a pearly sheen.
- It clogs pores.

In conclusion, I will not purchase it again.
