"For very sensitive, reactive, or rosacea-prone skin that doesn't do well with chemical filters, this is a genuinely comfortable option and the SPF 50 gives you really solid protection. The one caveat is the usual mineral sunscreen issue, on deeper skin tones it can leave a slight white cast. The key ingredients are zinc oxide, titanium dioxide, and Avène Thermal Spring Water."

"This is a tinted runny liquid that feels like a lightweight lotion. It rubs in easily, but it only comes in one shade, which is way too warm and too dark for me. And it goes on very splotchy and very unevenly. [...] But aside from the color, the other reason that I can't recommend this one is because it never dries back after 20 minutes. It is just coming off on everything. So, this one got a zero out of five for me as a standalone sunscreen."

"The Avene mineral sunscreens available in the US are nice, especially their tinted version which has a lovely liquid consistency and their compact which is really great, but they only offer one shade of the liquid and one shade of the compact so the color options don't work for everyone, and their non-tinted mineral sunscreen leaves a white cast."

"The Avène Mineral Sunscreen Liquid Tinted has a high iron oxide concentration in it, so it's amazing for melasma. If you have hyperpigmentation or melasma prone skin, the darker the sunscreen the better protection you get. I actually love to recommend tinted sunscreens to my melasma prone patients."
