Avene Very High Protection Anti-Ageing SPF50 Sun Cream

 

This SPF50 sun cream provides very high protection against UVA and UVB rays whilst targeting signs of skin ageing. The formula contains Avene Thermal Spring Water, known for its soothing and anti-irritating properties. You can apply this sunscreen to your face and body for comprehensive protection during sun exposure.

The cream texture absorbs easily into your skin without leaving a white residue. It offers water-resistant protection, making it suitable for outdoor activities and swimming. This anti-ageing sun cream helps protect against photoageing whilst maintaining your skin's natural moisture balance.

 

How This High Protection Sunscreen Works

 

The formula uses a combination of mineral and chemical UV filters to block harmful solar radiation. These filters work by either absorbing UV rays and converting them to heat, or by reflecting and scattering the rays away from your skin. The SPF50 rating means it blocks approximately 98% of UVB rays when applied correctly.

The anti-ageing properties come from antioxidant ingredients that help neutralise free radicals generated by UV exposure. This dual action provides both immediate protection and long-term skin health benefits. For comprehensive protection, you may also want to explore our skin care range for complementary products.

 

Who Should Use This Anti-Ageing Sun Cream

 

This sunscreen suits adults with normal to dry skin types who want high protection with anti-ageing benefits. It's particularly suitable if you spend extended periods outdoors or have concerns about sun damage and premature ageing. The gentle formula makes it appropriate for sensitive skin.

This product is ideal for:

  • People seeking very high sun protection factor coverage
  • Those concerned about preventing photoageing and sun damage
  • Individuals with sensitive skin requiring gentle formulations
  • Anyone needing water-resistant sun protection for outdoor activities

 

Why Choose Avene Thermal Spring Water Formula

 

Avene Thermal Spring Water has been clinically studied for its soothing properties on sensitive and irritated skin. This natural spring water contains a unique balance of minerals that help calm skin reactions and reduce inflammation. The inclusion of this ingredient makes the sunscreen more tolerable for reactive skin types.

The thermal spring water also helps maintain your skin's natural protective barrier whilst the sunscreen provides external protection. This combination supports both immediate comfort and long-term skin health during sun exposure.

 

Storage and Clinical Suitability

 

Store this sun cream below 25°C and away from direct sunlight to maintain its effectiveness. The 50ml tube size makes it convenient for travel and daily use. Check the expiry date before each application, as expired sunscreen may not provide adequate protection.

This product has been dermatologically tested and is suitable for daily use. However, you should perform a patch test before first use if you have known sensitivities to cosmetic products. Reapply every two hours or after swimming, sweating, or towelling for maintained protection.

This product is a medicine. Speak to your doctor or pharmacist before using if you have an underlying medical condition or are taking other medicines.

 

How to Apply Your Sun Protection Correctly

Apply the sun cream generously to clean, dry skin at least 15 minutes before sun exposure. You need approximately 2mg per square centimetre of skin for effective protection, which equates to about a teaspoon for your face and neck area. Ensure even coverage across all exposed areas, paying particular attention to commonly missed spots like ears, nose, and the back of your neck.

Blend the cream thoroughly into your skin using gentle circular motions until fully absorbed. The formula should not leave visible white marks when applied correctly. Allow the product to settle before applying makeup or other skincare products over the top.

Reapplication and Maintenance Guidelines

Reapply the sun cream every two hours during sun exposure to maintain protection levels. You must also reapply immediately after swimming, excessive sweating, or towel drying, even if the product claims water resistance. Water-resistant formulations maintain their protection for a specified time in water, but this protection diminishes with activity.

For optimal results, use this sun cream as part of a comprehensive sun protection strategy. This includes seeking shade during peak UV hours (11am to 3pm), wearing protective clothing, and using sunglasses. Remember that no sunscreen provides 100% protection, so combine physical and chemical protection methods for best results.
