Altruist Face Fluid SPF50 - 50 ml

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

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 👌

I wish I could say I love this product entirely - because the formulation is amazing. I can’t fault it. The only thing I found was it applied very oily to my skin compared to other sunscreens I’ve used. Therefore, I didn’t enjoy it as much. I can see why people hype this though but it’s just not for me. The application itself spreads very easily, although it stings my eyes so I wouldn’t recommend putting it around your eyes. My eyes are very sensitive though, so someone may not find it as irritating. I had no reaction to this other than the eye irritation - no break outs. It has no fragrance or alcohol which is great. Everytime I applied it my skin texture would look even smoother which is what I like about it and is effective in protecting you from the sun if used properly. The price point is fantastic and for the formula I think there isn’t a fault. It just wasn’t for me, due to the fact it was oily for my skin (I put a lot of sunscreen) so I won’t be repurchasing. If anything, this would probably be my option B if my favourite sunscreens were out of stock. I overall recommend it though because it’s so affordable and the formulation is great. It’s not likely to cause any irritations either due to it being fragrance and alcohol free.

I use the sunscreen in my face as I had a basal cell carcinoma removed. I was told to use a sunscreen everyday and this was recommended to me. I find it very easy to use and have not had a recurrence of my bcc.

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.

Very poor product: it does not absorb and piles up while you rub creating white small pieces of cream all over the skin. It is disappointing to realize how little research and investment they have put into this product, given the good cause behind.

Love this cream, easy to apply and not sticky at all.

The biggest problem is that it will cause irritation to the eyes after a few hours. It whitens my skin but not too obvious, it can peel off if I sweat or rub it. However, it is very easy to spread (very watery) and relatively light compared to other products. When applying at the start it will be a bit greasy but when it settles I use a piece of tissue to absorb some of the grease. It can cause a blemishes if I do not clean my face after a few hours. Overall, not the most ideal sunscreen but better than others.

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,

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!

Very good, kept my face moisturized and protected! Very good UVA protection
