Early verdict · Few reviews so far

What the gurus are saying

Sweat, sea water and a full day of sightseeing haven't shifted this one, and that staying power is what the reviewing gurus keep coming back to. It's a water-resistant chemical sunscreen that feels moisturizing, doesn't sting and, importantly, stays out of your eyes, a common sunscreen complaint. All three takes are a yay, and the gurus feel a little extra spend is worth it.

"It's very high protection. This has very good protection um for the skin. It really helps to guard against hyperpigmentation, unevenness in the sun, darkening of existing sun damage, right? It is a waterresistant formula. It's a heavyduty formula. Um so I really like this."

"I didn't get any color with this one. This one was very high protection. It lives up to the name. I'm very excited about this product. Not only is it water resistant but if the sun, if I look at the sun without sunscreen I start to pick up color. That's just how my skin is. And so this is very protective. I don't pick up any color. I don't pick up any tan when I'm using this product. It's not the most affordable sunscreen but because of just my experience with it, it offers the most protection."

"I tried the Avene Very High Protection SPF 50 kids' sunscreen on my forearm and found it very moisturizing with no stinging. It's a water-resistant chemical sunscreen, and importantly, when I wore it all day, it stayed on like a dream and didn't get in my eyes, which is often a problem with many other sunscreens."
