Thank you for the review. The Ultra Fluid also comes with a tinted version, would love to see a review on that too. Also, the labeled SPF for the non-tinted is only 50, while the tinted version is 50+.
Hi and thank you for the information. I did not even know that they have a fragrance-free tinted version. They have one tint only and I am used to see their one tint in the French pharmacies. That's not a tint for any Black person, so I won't be able to test it myself.... Sorry... For the label 50 or 50+ honnestly I am fine with both. They are both high protection and enough if you apply the sunscreen properly.
@jam6web84 Interesting, I wonder about her skin tone... Because they only have one tint and that is a French brand so obviously the tint should at least match a range of "white" skin tones and even one tint can't cover all white skin tones... I am gone wait to see a video review myself. I am intrigued now...
@@HereDiianas actually there are video reviews here in yt featuring this product, most of them are from spain and south america. The pigment appears deeper in color which i think would be more appropriate for medium to deep skin tone than light skin.
Thank you for this thorough breakdown of the new avene sunscreens. I'm now tempted to try the ultra fluid invisible 😊 I hope i get good results with it as someone with oilier skin.
Thank you so much, that's so nice. I am wearing Lisa Eldridge Luxuriously Lucent lipstick "Love of my life" paired with Charlotte Tilbury lip pencil "Pillow talk intense". I have a video about my favourite makeup products and this lipstick and lip pencil are in it. My foundation here is also from Lisa Eldridge and I have a full review on it on this channel also. Just check my "makeup playlist" if you want to know more....
Thank you for this review, I am keen to try the ultra light Avene SPF 50 as I can't bear the greasy/tacky feel of sunscreen on my skin. I have been using an Ultrasun SPF 30 for a while now, under makeup, which has been fine, but I have only just realised I have not been using enough. I actually got one of my kitchen measuring spoons the other morning so I could measure out 1/4 tsp for my face - I got a shock. I managed to cover my face 3 times and I think there was still a bit left in the spoon! It was certainly an eye-opener. Unfortunately, my skin felt quite greasy afterwards and makeup didn't sit as well. A friend was diagnosed with skin cancer last year, so although I have been trying to be careful myself for a number of years, it has prompted me to do a bit more research and try and ensure I am doing the best I can in terms of protecting my skin.
Hi and thank you for sharing your story. I hope this sunscreen will work for you otherwise I have a playlist where I have reviewed many other sunscreens. Hope it helps !
Thank you so much for this great review! i bought the ultra fluid last month and i am disappointed with it. I have a light olive skin tone with combination sensitive skin. It is very visible on my face, leaves white streaks. And it dries so quickly, i have to put it on so fast, otherwise it starts pilling. So i didn’t dare to put makeup on top of it. I was afraid that foundation will take off the sunscreen, leaving me unprotected. My search for the sunscreen continues.. Love from the Netherlands
Hi and sorry to hear that.... Seems that how dark or light your skin is matters but also the undertone could be a problem with this sunscreen. And I know that olive skin tones are not often considered.... So thank you for leaving your feedback. You should check out my sunscreens playlist. I have reviewed many sunscreens and many are great especially Asian ones which are often 100% invisible unless you prefer to focus on European ones...
Thank you for the video! I have the Hyaluron Active series by Avene and i love them! But, when it comes to sunscreens, the clearance one was very shiny and greasy (regardless the fact that it is marketed for oily skin). Now, for the Avene fluid invisible sunscreen, if you see at the Whats in my jar website, you will see that it does Not deliver the claimed sun protection, because of the lower concentration of sun filters!!! It was a shock for me!
Hi and thank you for sharing information. I did not know the "what's in my jar" website so I looked it up, but for the sunscreen you mentioned... I am confused. Avène is a French brand. French brands do not disclose the concentration of each sunscreen ingredient because they don't have to, unlike US brands that must do it under FDA US law. This website disclosed very specific concentrations of the sunscreen ingredients which has never been communicated by the brand... 1.7% or 2.4%... They say that the UV filters are in very low concentration but do not say what would be the right concentration for each filter , for those specific filters and for those specific 4 filters altogether in this specific formula. That is 3 very different things. Avobenzone (an old chemical filter) and ethylhexyl triazone ( a recent chemical filter) for instance are different chemical/organic filters. The concentration required for each individual filter is going to differ but they just slumped all chemical filters together and make the same assessment for all. Plus from what I see this is an American website and those filters have not been used or studied the same in the US yet since they are still not allowed by the FDA. So what is truly their knowledge of those specific filters? What I see is only generalizations and approximations. For instance they say chemical sunscreen rarely give a "white cast". Is it a review about this sunscreen or general information about chemical sunscreens.... If it's general information why do they associate it with a specific product. I checked and saw that this website use an AI algorithm for its "reviews". I also see that there is no cosmetic chemist in their teams who could adjust or analyse the results given by the AI. Yes there is a Dermatologist in their team but Dermatologist are not cosmetic chemists they don't have the degree the expertise the experience and the network of other cosmetic chemists to get even more knowledge. They are not the one creating products in the lab of following cosmetic legislations and chemist rules in the creation of those products. I am actually very surprised that a Physician would agree to be associated to this website when Dr are usually all about personalization, being specific, and accurate... To be honest I trust the brand Avène more than this website. Avène has been around in France for many years and to my knowledge they never faced a scandal and seem to have a solid team of cosmetic chemists. There was a sunscreen scandal in France many years ago (lower SPF than what's advertised) I remember, but Avène to my knowledge was not part of it. Also their suncreens are used a lot here in the seummer and so far I did not hear about consumers complaints... So unless a proper lab, check this sunscreen and find a lower SPF that what is advertised like it happened with Purito and many other Korean brands I would trust them. But yes when it comes to sunscreens and what the brand tells us you can only trust the brand and hope they did their job which is why when I review sunscreens I do not spend that much time analysing such or such sunscreen ingredients nor I do I repeat what the brand says as facts since I don't know. Nobody know... They say this filter is better, this filter fight blue light but they do their own study to do so.... So we won't know until large independent studies are done. And those studies would only be done on each filter not entire products. Complicated...That's why I prefer to say what the brand tells us..... Because only a proper lab analysis could tell us the truth. Otherwise I just try to know more about brands to see if they are trustworthy or not... that's the best I can do.
@@HereDiianas Thank you for your answer! Initially, as i have noted, i would love to keep my clearance sunscreen, as it felt really comfortable on my face, but i couldn't, since it turned out extremely shiny on my oily skin. And since i absolutely love Avene, and saw that on your skin, the ultra fluid sunscreen looks similar to the way that Eucerin Oil control dry touch looks on my skin, i am even more tempted to try the ultra fluid! It is an opportunity to rule out the alcohol of Eucerin (also with the Eucerin one, in extreme heat, i feel that it kind of melts with the sweat on my skin, ending in white streaks, that are not so flatering). So, i might give the Avene one a try and see how it keeps with the extremely hot, and sometimes humid, Greek summer! One thing i don't understand is why Avene recomments applying only one finger of sunscreen for the face and neck, since the correct amount is 1/4 of a teaspoon (that is approximately two fingers of product). Ps: and yes, you are abolutely correct! There is not such a thing as a truly matte sunscreen, for oily skin! 😉

Do all of these have the triasorb filter that absorbs visible light?
Hi and yes all Avène sunscreens from this line "the orange line" all contain TriAsorB which is said to protect against blue light=visible light.
