Avène High Protection Tinted Compact, Mineral Sunscreen, Tinted Sunscreen, Broad Spectrum SPF 50+, UVA/UVB Blue Light Protection, 100% Mineral, Water Resistant, Non-Greasy, Fragrance-Free

I absolutely love this compact! As someone who prefers lightweight makeup but still wants solid sun protection, this has become my go-to. It gives amazing coverage, seriously, it evens out my skin tone and covers imperfections way better than I expected from a sunscreen.It’s not heavy or greasy, and the tinted finish looks super natural. I especially love that it’s fragrance-freeTotally a staple in my everyday routine :)

This is one of the most natural and ‘skin like’ products I’ve ever used. As a bonus, it has spf 50.I was surprised by how perfectly it matched my skin tone because it only comes in two shades and even the lighter one (beige) looked like it might be too dark for me. But, it must have some magical transformative powers once it’s applied because the shade match is perfect.It feels very light on the skin, but offers good coverage with one swipe. However, I usually do 2-3 swipes for extra coverage and protection.It has a very creamy texture and no scent.While it is on the pricier side compared to some drug store options, it is so worth it. Plus, I think I’ll end up saving money as I won’t be testing other options and will be sticking with this for daytime and Armani luminous silk for night.

TLDR: This sunscreen compact is a sensitive skin dream. If you are allergic to typical sunscreen or you have very sensitive skin. This Sun screen compact is a must have.It is by far the best thing i've ever found on Amazon. I love Avene products period. Xeracalm is great for easily irritated skin, the soothing eye cream is also fantastic for eczema on the eyelid, and the tolerance face balm is great when your skin is already upset. It helps to settle it down. The Xeracalm line is a life saver for someone with skin conditions. I have super duper sensitive skin. I'm allergic to almost all sun protections on the planet. I have psoriasis, eczema, contact dermatitis and rosacea. And i'm sensitive to smells and chemicals. So with all that I found this sun protection in a compact form that has a matte finish. I absolutely love this. It doesn't irritate my skin. It's easy to apply. It's great for travel. I actually use this when I'm driving or flying because it helps protect my face from the dryness from the car or the plane. I don't know if that's a scientific fact, but it does make my skin less irritated after being in a car for 8 hours. This is my go to sun protection. It doesn't have a smell, it's easy to apply. And it's not shiny. The only problem I have with this is the two colors are both too dark for my skin. I don't mind, though. The fact that it protects my skin from the sun doesn't have a weird smell and is comfortable for my stupid irritable skin is all that matters. I love the compact. It's especially great for outdoor events. Went to football game last year, and the sun decided to show up and we didn't have sun protection. But I had my compact, and that along with a windbreaker saved my skin. The attached photos (pink tank top) show what the beige looks like on very fair skin. And outdoor (football game). Last what my face looks like without anything for comparison.

This took some experimenting but overall I like it. It’s basically a cream to powder mineral foundation compact that will give you some SPF and medium coverage of imperfections — if you try to go for full coverage it will look cakey and you’re better off applying it thinner and using concealer. You need to have exfoliated/moisturized/plump skin before applying because it will dry down to a matte finish and make ANY dry skin flakes obvious. It also does transfer to things like tissue and clothes, so it’s best followed with a little bit of a very fine setting powder. Because this doesn’t look good in a unilaterally thick layer on your face, it should really be used on top of another sunscreen to get adequate sun protection; I use it on top of the Avene liquid sunscreen, though it looks best when the sunscreen has a few minutes to sink in before applying this. I am several shades paler than the light shade of the compact, but its neutral color blends out nicely (less is more), so as long as I am careful not to overapply it just evens out my skin and gives me a little sun kissed glow. I have struggled with some melasma in the past year, and I find that this helps make it less noticeable without making it obvious I’m wearing makeup (which is not something I’ve been able to accomplish with my favorite tried and true concealers). This does not clog my pores at all and I feel like it lets my skin breathe much better than many products I’ve used in the past, though it is a mineral layer on your skin so it’s important to double wash your face at night and ensure you get it all off. I have tried to wash the applicator sponge but it’s too porous to really get clean, and I read on their website that the sponge isn’t really expected to be washed because the compact will only last for a month or two of daily use. The compact is good, albeit a bit bulky, but I wish they would offer a slightly nicer compact and simply sell refill pans and sponges… I intend to repurchase this, but given the environmental impact of the one-time use packaging and that the product transfers unless set with powder, I could still easily be swayed to try another product (especially once my melasma clears up some more).

Love how smooth this is! Works beautifully 😍
