Altruist Sunscreen Face Fluid SPF 50, Fragrance Free, 5-Star UVA, 50 ml

No frills simple product with Vit E protection. Fragrance free. Lightweight feel, may look a bit shiny on application but I leave it to dry/soak in for a few mins and then brush a blotting powder on top. Never had sunburn with this. Great value for price.

This is the best face SPF I have used and I’ve tried manyDoes not sting around the eyes like some do and really gentle on skinSits nice on skin no pilling at all and for me actually gives a nice sheen glass skin look !Fraction of the price of many competitorsSeems to do what it should also even on holiday using this I do not get burnt or sun damage !

This stuff is amazing.We were originally recommended this brand by an NHS dermatologist for my son's sensitive skin so I thought I'd give the face fluid a go.Its the only sunscreen that doesn't sting (at all!!!) my very sensitive skin or make any red areas even worse. My skin and red/blotchy patches have been so much better since switching to this from CeraVe's sun cream. It goes on lovely, very silky, calming and sinks in as well as other sun creams, just give it 20 mins while you get dressed/ready before applying anything on top. It's factor 50 and 5 star protection so it's really good stuff.The only reason it loses a star is because it can pill on your skin if you rub too hard and it is quite shiny, to be fair most sun creams are and it isn't as shiny as other brands. So if you use this *gently* rub/smooth it in... and to combat the shiny face the ordinary do an amazing azelaic acid cream which does wonders for your skin and is really amazing at mattifying. Just avoid your eyes and VERY gently smooth in, otherwise it will pill with the sun cream. Same for any concealer applied over the top.

Really pleased with this sunscreen. Took a chance as loved what they stand for, really reasonably priced, and seemed to offer all the safety elements I was looking for. Rubs in nicely, not greasy (I have normal/combination >40 skin). I have medium skintone with freckles, haven't noticed any white cast - it is thick white cream when you put it on, but once rubbed in, sinks in beautifully and isn't noticeable. I hate greasy sunscreen! In general, I would definitely leave about 5 minutes after normal moisturiser before applying sunscreen, then another 5 minutes before applying make up, just to let everything absorb and avoid it all slipping around against each other. Would recommend 👌

The best sun screen creams I’ve used to date. The face one is lovely, feels like a moisturiser and doesn’t leave a white hue. It’s not thick or greasy. I’m so pleased to have been introduced to this product.

UPDATE: as you can tell from my old review I loved this. However, sadly I received two recently that were either off or the formula has changed ???!!!!!It was thick clumby and the white cast was ridiculous. I’m praying the formula hasn’t changed and this was just a bag batch. Amazon were very unhelpful and wouldn’t issue a refund!I was a Purito SPF only girl and after finding out that the spf was 19 not 50 like it said on the bottle I needed to find a SPF 50 that I could trust and that would be suitable for my rosacea and acne prone skin. I saw this on Dr Drays YouTube and it sounded great and it publishes all their spf data so you know it’s 100% an spf of 50!! It’s very light weight, similar texture to the liquid La Roche Posay one however way more elegant and no strong alcohol smell. It’s very nourishing so I thought it might break me out but it hasn’t at all. It leaves a white cast for about 5 seconds and then it’s sinks into the skin. Great under make up as it doesn’t peal or ball up (my Purito one did do this slightly). Only negative is a wish it was bigger, you get 50ml of product, I wish it was more 80ml-100ml. Other than that no complaints, my new favourite SPF and will be religiously using it from now on.

Thi is a soft milky texture which suits my older skin, I am satisfied with my purchase.

I don’t hate it - which is not what you really wanna hear about a skincare product. The issues are that it leaves the most ridiculous white cast on the face which gives the skin a weird pallid look all the time. The texture of the product feels quite greasy - almost curdled coming out the tube. I have no doubt it does the job of protecting the skin but I think there are far better options on the market.

Finalmente un solare molto efficace ad un prezzo super accessibile. Il Dr Birnie e' un dermatologo qualificato che esercita in Gran Bretagna ed e' un esperto in cancro della pelle. Ha deciso di creare questa linea perche' ha visto un aumento esponenziale nei casi di cancro alla pelle nella popolazione. Una parte del ricavato della vendita dei solari va ad una fondazione in Africa per coloro i quali sono effetti da albinismo.Il prodotto ha un ottimo INCI e nulla da invidiare a solari che costano anche 4 o 5 volte tanto: in quei casi si paga il marketing e non la qualita' degli ingredienti. Si stende facilmente e non ha alcun odore (solo un po' del solito e caratteristico odore del titanium dioxide). Non lascia alcuna patina bianca tipo mimo e dato il prezzo di 10 euro non ho alcun problema ad usarne 2ml alla volta (e' la quantità ideale per garantire la protezione 50). E' anche un ottima base per il fondotinta grazie al silicone.Non ha alcun effetto di pilling ed e' adatto a chi ha la pelle normale o secca durante l'inverno. SPF 50 , ottima protezione anche contro gli UVA (5 stelle). Comodo il dosatore che permette di erogare la giusta quantità' di prodotto. In estate acquistero' la versione corpo da 1 litro.Ottimo prodotto che consiglio vivamente. Fantastica iniziativa e prezzo decisamente alla portata di tutti senza alcun compromesso sulla qualita'. Made in Germany,

Brilliant sun block

Vooral zinc oxide lijkt wel, beschermt heel goed met een PPD >52 (persistent pigment darkening) maar smeert op de bruine huid erg moeilijk uit. Overgestapt naar ander merk voor gebruik buitenshuis maar Altruist gebruik ik nu in de tuin en op balkon.

Feels great on my skin, leaves my face feeling moisturized.There is a single white cast after application but it fades within minutes. Does leave a light shine to the skin.

Ich habe nun mittlerweile die halbe Flasche aufgebraucht und ich bin dermaßen zufrieden, dass ich definitiv nachbestelle. Es ist wirklich nicht leicht einen anständigen Sonnenschutz ohne Parfüm und andere reizende Stoffe zu finden. Ich habe empfindliche Haut, aber ich vertrage diese chemischen Uv-Filter sehr gut. Der Auftrag ist sehr angenehm und zügig, das Fluid fühlt sich während des Auftrag und auch danach an wie eine reichhaltigere Feuchtigkeitscreme. Man hat den ganzen Tag kein furchtbares "Sonnencreme - Gefühl" - wie bei herkömmlichen Sonnencremes. Im Gegenteil, man spürt gar nichts, außer gepflegte Haut.Nach dem Auftrag erhält man einen Glanz auf der Haut, der viele Stunden anhält. Es ist kein typischer Fettfilm wie nach einer billig-Sonnencreme, sondern eher ein "dewy Glow" wie es im Englischen so schön heißt - sie wird also auch später nicht matt, aber man kann sie mit Puder mattieren.Der Geruch ist durch die Parfümfreie Formulierung sehr chemisch und scharf, was aber natürlich an den UV-Filtern liegt. Man riecht quasi, dass da Sonnenschutz drin ist - was mich nach dem "Purito-Skandal" immens beruhigt. Man riecht das zwar beim Auftrag, aber nicht mehr danach. Der Geruch ist auch nicht extrem stark, aber er ist da wenn man die Flasche öffnet.Nun zum "Brennen" in den Augen - wie ich aus anderen Rezensionen gelesen habe:Es ist klar, dass es brennen wird, wenn man sich das ins Auge schmiert, also auf die Schleimhaut. Da sind wie gesagt CHEMISCHE FILTER drin. Ich persönlich habe nur ein einziges Mal Brennen in den Augen gehabt, weil ich das Fluid aus Versehen in die Schleimhaut des rechten Auges bekommen hab. Aber das war einmal, man muss eben aufpassen. Das Brennen war auch nicht extrem schmerzvoll wie z.B. Chili und war nach 3 bis 5 Minuten vorbei. Ich trage das Fluid natürlich auch täglich auf die Augen auf, und ich arbeite es auch in die Tränensäcke ein, aber ich verspüre kein Brennen dabei. Eine Rezension sprach davon, dass Ihr /Ihm auch während des Tages die Augen brennen. Das hatte ich auch nie. Ich denke aber jede/r ist unterschiedlich, aber wer sich das Fluid in einer dicken Schicht in die Wimpern einarbeitet, der dürfte sehr wahrscheinlich brennende Augen bekommen... Aber das gilt dann für jede Sonnencreme.Ich persönlich habe null Probleme mit diesem Produkt, und ich habe wie gesagt leicht reizbare Haut und muss in all meiner Kosmetik auch viele Alkohole und Parfüm verzichten.Diese Marke scheint mir auch sehr vertrauenswürdig, ich bin absolut zufrieden!Ich hoffe, die Rezension ist hilfreich für Manche und ich konnte das Problem mit dem Brennen ein wenig aufklären. Das Einzige, was ich mir wünschen würde ist, dass man für das Geld 60ml bekommt anstatt 50ml.Das war's.Viel Erfolg bei der Sonnenschutz-Suche!
