Mine's slightly different from the one shown in the picture above - not too sure on what did they do with the packaging, but this review is for "Eau Thermale Moderate Protection Emulsion SPF 20"
This is my daily sunscreen, and I pretty much adore this, except for one thing - when it melts, its stings my eye like a mad cow. Also, there is no mattifying properties in this, thus it kinda melts my make up at insanely hot weathers.
Other than that, I love the lightweight consistency this sunscreen provides. It doesn't feel heavy on my skin and it does a good job in sun protection (albeit I chose the one in SPF 20) Plus, the smell reminds me of johnson and
johnson's baby shampoo - I LOVE IT! (:
For the packaging wise - its pretty hard to control the amount that I wanna squeeze out because of how liquidy it is - not a big issue though, but gets a lil messy at times.
I'll repurchase from the same line - but probably in higher SPF.

An Open Letter to the Ghost of Avene Emulsion, Circa 2007:
Dear Avene Emulsion,
I loved you so much. I miss you with equal passion. Your avo-laced offspring hurts muh face. Ouch.
Adieu, mon ami. Adieu.

I have used Avene sunscreens for a long time. This is another great sunscreen. It has tinosorb M and S, which is great protection. I like tinosorb so much more than mexoryl, it tends not to leave the shiny appearance. According to skincarecentral.biz, the PPD is about 10, which is great (skincarecentral.biz is not carrying the SPF20 anymore)
It's fairly thin in consistency, it only takes about 5 minutes for it to dry to a fairly matte look. It does have a fragrance, but that doesn't bother me. It is expensive for how much you get, but I'll probably continue using the tinosorb products because most of the mexoryl products have avo in them, which I don't care for that much. Will definitely buy again.
