Altruist Dermatologist Sunscreen Fluid SPF – Superior 5star UVA face protection by Dr Andrew Birnie premium antioxidant, White, Unscented, 50 millilitre

I don’t usually write reviews but this product has left me so happy I feel obligated to share! I use a retinol, so SPF during the day is very important to protect my skin (and I would argue, is important for everyone to use) but they problem I kept having was I could not find a brand that didn’t break me out. I’ve been using this a couple of weeks now and it is AMAZING. A little goes a long way, it’s light, leaves a nice dewy finish on the skin and above all PROTECTS YOUR FACE AGAINST UV. It hasn’t caused any irritation on me, or broke me out so I am super pleased. I will continue to repurchase!

Considering the PPD of this sunscreen (which Altruist have made public) you really won't find a more cosmetically-elegant high-PPD sunscreen than this. 1. This is still a hardcore sunscreen; you WILL feel this on your skin; you WILL have dewy glow (that oily/combo skin may not enjoy and find "oily"); and it WILL leave a slight residue that you can feel hours later; however, you will have this with every single sunscreen with strong protection, and much, much more apparent. Altruist (and/or their manufacturing partner) have done an incredible job in creating this SPF. 2. This may have a very mild white cast on darker skin tones (when applied properly - half a teaspoon+) due to the titanium dioxide, but on my paler skin nothing's noticeable. 3. If you apply your SPF around and all over your eyes, like I do, you may find that this mildly irritates your eyes, but again this isn't a fault with the product. It contains octocrylene, a brilliant SPF and SPF-stabiliser, but it just can mildly irritate very sensitive skin and the eyes. While these all seem like negative points, I'm noting them to cover the simple truths about high-protection sunscreens. Anyone moving from their SPF primer or their SPF 25 (but no UVA) Day Cream may then comment that this suddenly feels heavier and more like sunscreen, but the simple fact is that currently for very high UVA (anti-aging) protection, in my opinion - this is the best sunscreen you could get.

There’s a lot to love about Altruist SPF 50 Face Fluid: the high protection factor, it’s fragrance free, affordable price and it’s been developed by an expert in their field. The texture is very fluid, so spreads easily, however I find it still leaves a slight tacky layer on my oily/combination skin which I don’t get with the fluid-type SPF facial products by other well known French pharmacy brands. I also find it stings/makes my eyes watery if I get it too close to them (it does say to avoid the eye area mind). It’s definitely worth checking out, however I personally probably wouldn’t repurchase it.

I love this sunscreen! It was recommended to me by fellow users of Dermatica. The skin on my face has always been sensitive, but since using the treatment it has become more so. However, suncreme is essential when using it (and should be anyway 😬) from my very first use of this sunscreen I have not had any sensitivity! No stinging, no burning, no streaming eyes! It goes on so nicely- it's kind of like a creme but not thick. It's not runny either. An unexpected pro to this sunscreen was how good it made my makeup look! It is SUCH a great primer!! It looked like I had a full face of Charlotte Tilbury on! My makeup didn't crack and everything was waaay more hydrated. The lit from within glow was real! Would hiiiighly recommended. Also, when the time comes where we can actually not wear any sleeves (UK) I will definitely be purchasing this sunscreen for body. Also, great price!!!!

One of the best sunscreens I’ve used for the face - light, non-greasy, and absorbs quickly without leaving a white cast. Feels great on the skin, just a little on the expensive side.

I’ve been buying this consistently for the last 2 years and every time I get it it’s a lottery as to what the consistency is going to be like. Sometimes it’s fluid as the name suggests, other times it’s fluid with lumps in it that block the hole and mean you end up wasting loads cause it shoots out when you squeeze it, and sometimes it’s completely congealed. Despite being a great product when it arrives as it should be, I’m afraid the constant inconsistency has turned me off and I won’t be buying again.

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.

I feel compelled to write this review after reading some bad ones. The important thing to remember is that every skin is different and while I absolutely love this product, this does not guarantee that others will have the same experience. I have tried many, absolute tons actually, of sunscreens since I've been using some topicals, it is hard to find a good mineral sunscreen that will do the job of protecting and moisturising (not drying) your skin, with very high UVA protection, which does not pill, does not leave a white cast, and which does not sting when being applied. I find that this product ticks all the boxes for me, it feels lovely and moisturising on the skin (I have a combination skin and it feels good all over); it doesn't smell, it does not leave a white cast, it applies well (milky lotion-like consistency), it is enriched with vitamin E which is an added bonus and I honestly think that this is the one for me to stick to going forward. Also, the price is great, it's very affordable and if you are serious about protecting your skin, you know that you will be using absolute tons of sunscreen, so finding something that will not break your bank but actually works is a winner for me.

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,

No es pesado, quiero 100 de estos me lo pongo como debería ser, seca rápido y le pongo dos capas es ,no es pesado y hidrata muchísimo

I was told to try this by my British dermatologist as I have a rare skin condition (well several!). This is nice and light. It gives the required ‘whiteness’ to the skin then sinks in without rubbing. I was using the normal body one for a while as I need factor 50+. A lot of people do not know they need UVA & UVB. Altruist has both. Plus it supports a great children’s charity. I love the shape of the bottle and size. Especially as I travel a lot. It’s a good shape. It’s usable in winter also as the rays are as bad but not as intense. I generally don’t need to reapply throughout the day as I’m out for 5 ish hours and not in direct sunlight.

Really good sunscreen! Feels light on the skin and not greasy at all.

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!
