UVA Protection Dermatologist Sunscreen with SPF 50 (100ml,2 Pieces)

I have used Altruist for around 7 years now, since getting pretty bad acne in my late teens, and going on a big skincare journey from there. It has never aggravated my acne, or eczema, it sits well under makeup, it's not greasy, and it has a neutral smell. I appreciate that their products have remained affordable, and that they stay true to their cause - protecting skin! Their facial fluid formula had to change for a while a few years back (because of ingredient shortages, great customer service btw), and it kept pilling, so I opted for this particular spf 50 instead, and I have stuck to it since! So even their body sunscreens are great on your face, even if you're acne-prone! Thank you Altruist :)

Purchased after hearing an interview with a founder of Altruist. I’ve never found a suncream that is easy to rub in, doesn’t leave a white mess and isn’t sensitive around the eyes. Altruist claimed to be all of these things. I’m so pleased I found this suncream. You can put it on like a moisturiser all over your face including eyes and eye lids. Does not smell, does not irritate, and is easy to absorb. I can replace my moisturiser with this which means I’ll always be protected from the suns damage. My only negative comment is that it is a little sticky but this seems to lessen after about 30mins and is not certainly a reason not to purchase it. *Edit* After some use I can say it isn’t sticky or greasy! I can tell because my hair doesn’t stick to my face like it usually does when I have suncream on! Top marks from me. It’s a little expensive compared to say Aldi or Lidl’s own but I’m happy to pay the extra for face protection that is kind to the eyes. An all year round must.

As another reviewer has said, it's not quite there yet but still a FANTASTIC sunscreen. I've been using this every day for just over a week now. The first day I put it on my arms, hands, neck and face. Face: I'm aware that Altruist does do a facial sunscreen which I'm yet to try but I think this product still deserves scrutiny for use on face for all the parents out there who just need to slather their impatient kids in sunscreen before they run off to make sand castles. I digress...anyway my initial impression is that it really doesn't get on well with stubble. It tends to pill around facial stubble which immediately makes it a bit of a nuisance for men unless you are super clean shaven every single day. Having seen another reviewer's picture of the product pilling on their clothing, this seems to partially prove my point. I also noticed some build up in my neck creases. I have also experienced mild stinging in my eyes resulting from using the sunscreen around my eyes and eyelids, I'm guessing this indicates that the product slides/migrates a little (this might be unavoidable with most sunscreens to be fair.) There is also a strong chemically taste that seeps into my mouth throughout the day. However, I want to add that the eye stinging and the taste is nowhere near as bad as I've experienced from other sunscreens like Jason or Malibu...and don't let this put you off trying this product since we all have different sensitivities. It's worth mentioning that I now use La Roche Posay Anthelios invisible fluid SPF 50 on my face (around my eyes and on my lips) and I don't get the same issues that I get with this Altruist sunscreen. La Roche Posay is quite expensive though so I look forward to trying the facial sunscreen from Altruist which I'm hoping will be more comfortable! As for the rest of my body I still happily use this product...it is a little on the greasy side but not enough for me to want to stop using it. It's safe to say I have definitely found a body sunscreen that ticks all the boxes for me including being very affordable and fragrance free (sadly the latter seems to be something that's hard to come by in affordable sun care products.) I'd happily recommend this product for the body and would encourage you to try it on the face and see what you think.

Great value, easy to apply and doesn’t leave a white residue, I use this as a primer for my makeup, & it works really well. Would definitely recommend.

I am a retiredDr this is one of the best sun screens I have ever used Reasonably priced

great product, great price

I have bought this product 3 times over the last 5 years or so for beach holidays. And over the years it has been improved in every level. The packaging is much better than it used to be and the actual sunscreen now has the perfect consistency. Its not very thick which makes it easy to spread. It doesn't have a strong fragrance (if at all) and doesn't leave a shine or makes you look greasy. But more importantly it is very fairly priced which admirable especially for a relatively small company. Also they give a portion of profits to charity from every sale (which might be a drop in a bucket) but hey at least they are helping while giant companies don't usually do that. Last but not least it ticks all the boxes that one would want from a sunscreen: Great packaging, great product, great price and it is SPF 50 and water resistant and has a 5 star UVA rating which I have not seen on Amazon. I have found 4 star ratings but not 5. My advice to you is that if you do like it that you use a generous amount as one should when it comes to sunscreen. Sunscreens are not cosmetic creams. You need to apply generously. And the price of this product allows you to do that more easily.

Does leave a few white marks if you don’t rub it in enough, but good apart from that on my pasty Irish skin.
